I linked up economy with insurgency because India of 1980's was a very different country. The government really didn't have the money for anything. It was struggling to control insurgencies that were raging across North and North East. The situation today is very different as the government is...

Punjab and Kashmir were insurgencies during a period when India was economically unstable and resource-constrained Not to mention they were largely sponsored by foreign actors. The current situation in Manipur is an ethnic conflict between two groups that has been raging for almost 5 months...

Never it has happened in independent India's history that a state has been plunged into a civil war for almost 5 months. Ideally Manipur should have been put under presidents rule but god knows what the government is thinking and doing.

Myanmar Army never had control across vast stretches of their land.A large chunk of their territory is held by various ethnic rebel groups for decades. The junta is only strong in some areas where it uses disproportionate air power against its people. These pathetic folks don't mind even bombing...

Myanmar is a failed state.It has been facing internal strife since the very beginning with no end in sight. The country most probably will collapse at some time in future.The only solution i see is we fence the entire border with that country.

Most of NE was fairly peaceful except for Assam and Manipur even before BJP came to power. But what is happening in Manipur was not seen even during the worst phase of insurgency.

Ages ago I was in Manipur.In those days it was a constant conflict between Nagas and Kukis and then there was PLA,UNLF and PREPAK that used to carry out regular attacks on Indian military and Assam Rifles but never did i witness a civil war-type situation that we see today. It's a national...

Friends, I found it disturbing that a few of these Camp Hebron (NSCN IM base camp) druggies are running vlogging channels and they have not been banned by Youtube. What is the government doing regarding this?

I don't know how effective our attack helicopter would be in the jungles of Myanmar against insurgents.Further they will remain highly vulnerable to ground attacks. We need a fast moving platform that can attack swiftly and quickly. A 10 is a dedicated ground attack flying tank .The amount of...

From twitter got this was a conflict between Chin National Army and PLA,not Indian army and PLA . On a side note i wish we had things like A10 warthogs,the sheer sound of it's gattling gun aka brrrrrrrrt would scare the soul out the body.

Nothing new,they have been training and supplying arms to the NE rebels for decades. Many of the NE rebels along with Burmese rebels went to Yunan province of China for military training.

Nagaland Legislative Assembly Passes resolution to Repeal AFSPA,1958

No doubt faith plays a role but not so as prominently as we see in Kashmir or Middle east. Insurgency in Mynmar has a strong correlation with that in Sri Lanka.A multi ethnic country where a majority group(Sinhalese in Sri lanka and Bamars in Myanmar) try to dominate over minority group with...

Mynmar is largely a failing state.The ethnic violence that has been going on for 75 years will not subside anytime soon and the chances of Mynmar collapsing is very high. Having friendly relationship with a country whose army largely has no control over large stretches of it's own territory will...

Mass ANTI -AFSPA protest going on in NAGALAND

Mynmar is under immense international sanctions.Helping them out can get us into a whole lot of unnecessary trouble. We tend to forget that they are a country whose government is at war with not not just various ethnic groups but it's own citizens.They are having a civil war which we should...

You have a very jaundiced view on issues..... Do we tend to forget how many Christians fought for India in the many conflicts it has fought ? You can see the complete list in Bharat Rakshak forums.... You are conflating an average Christian with a proselytizing evangelist.

You will find virtually every leader and party in india using religion to cause differences amongst people.If the church is exploiting the faultline,they will not be the first one,nor the last one. Having said that it's the ethnic identity rather than christian faith that is the strong driving...

You are simply looking at it from myopic view of religion.It's more complex than that. It's a mix of many factors . If Christianity was the sole reason for the cause of separatism why there is no strong separatist insurgency in over 90% christian state like Mizoram or Meghalaya ? It's more...

Insurgencies are like Hydra,you cut one,another one will grow in it's place. The best way to end it is cut it's life line which is popular support by winning over the people. It was achieved in Punjab,Mizoram and to a large extent in Assam. As i said heavy handed approach proves...
