Abstract
Insurgency in North
eastern states are laying in the deepest part of its Historical Geo-politics.
Identity crisis regarding Land, Language and other social parameters between
the middle class sentiments have been provoking to happen such insurgencies,
like- NSCN, ULFA, NDFB, BLT, KLO etc. However Indian state mechanism has been
trying to solve such insurgency movements by different ways to protect its
Sovereignty. In this seminar paper, counter-terrorism strategies will be
discussed by using the methodology of case study.
The basic characteristics of insurgencies of Assam are
bi-dimensional. Some insurgency groups, like ULFA and NDFB has been demanding
for a severing state arrangement as well as other insurgency groups, like BLT
are demanding for a separate state arrangement under the veil of Indian
Territory. However the state mechanism has been trying to solve this situation
by using both of Military strategies, like: Operation Rhino, Bojrong, All Clear
as well as some Soft Strategies, like: ‘Divide and Role’ policy, Peace Talk
etc.
Counter terrorism strategies taken by the State mechanism
however has raised some serious issues, like Human rights violation in several
parts of Assam. But the situation has not been normalized yet. In this seminar
paper, the causes, historical link up as well as the basic scenario of
insurgency will be analyzed.
