Page "Insurgency in Northeast India" Paragraph 2

The states have accused New Delhi of ignoring the issues concerning them.

A feeling of second-class citizenship meted out to them by mainland Indians has led the natives of these states to seek greater participation in self-governance.

There are existing territorial disputes between Manipur and Nagaland, Nagaland and Assam, Meghalaya and Assam, and Mizoram and Assam, often based on historical border disputes and differing ethnic, tribal or cultural affinities.

There has been a number of insurgent activities and regional movements in all parts of the northeast, often unique in character to each state.

Military action by the armed and paramilitary forces and political action have led to the intensity of these insurgencies fluctuating and to the resolution of the insurgency in Mizoram.
