The main aim of the organization is to establish a sovereign state, "Nagalim" unifying all the areas inhabited by the Naga people in Northeast India and Burma. However this group lacked people's support as 2014 General Elections of India recorded voters turnout of more than 87% in Nagaland which was highest in India which considered as faith of Naga people in democracy of India. Objective of NSCN: The objective of the NSCN was to establish a Sovereign State by unifying all the Naga-inhabited areas in the North East of India and Northern Burma which the organization and the people of the area proposed as Nagalim. Unification of all Naga tribes under one administration and 'liberating' Nagalim from India is listed as one of the supposed main objectives of the organization. Its manifesto is based on the principle of Socialism for economic development and a spiritual outlook – ‘Nagaland for Christ’. Area of operation: NSCN is active in North East India. The state of Nagaland and the hill districts in Manipur inhabited by the Nagas are the main areas where strong influence and presence of the organization is felt. Its presence in the neighboring states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh are also widely acknowledged. On the international level, the presence and influence of the NSCN in the Northern part of Myanmar that are inhabited by the Naga tribes dates back to the time when the Nagas started their freedom struggle. Linkages: Over the years, the NSCN-IM has tried to develop extensive linkages both within and outside India. It is alleged that Pakistan and China are providing finance as well as arms and ammunition to NSCN in their fight for independence against the Indian Government. It is believed that NSCN patronized smaller extremists outfits in the North East of India by giving warfare and intelligence trainings and providing logistics for waging war against India. The outfit has also opened up contacts with international organizations like the UN Human Rights Organization in Geneva, Unrepresented Nations People's Organization (UNPO) at the Hague and the UN Working Group on Indigenous People (UNWGIP). China is also instrumental in providing training and arms, which was established after the arrest of the top NSCN IM leader Anthony Shimray. After his arrest by the Indian intelligence agencies he also revealed that he was tasked by Chinese intelligence agencies to collect and gather intelligence on Indian troop deployments in north eastern states of India. Further it is also alleged that NSCN is the major faction that helps many other minor militant outfits in north east and is widely accepted as the main reason of continued insurgency in north eastern states of Indian republic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_Council_of_Nagaland

Gollum Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 why is it called militant attack and not a terrorist attack? According to MSM any act of violence in Kashmir/NE is a militant attack.
