Is there a separatist force in India?

Since the 1960s and 1970s, separatist riots have broken out in Nagaland, Mizoram and Assam in northeastern India.

The northeastern part of India is bordered by China, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Bangladesh, and inhabited by ethnic minorities and tribal residents such as Galo, Mizo, Meitai, Mikil, Kasi and Assam.

Geographically far from the central government, the economic development is slow, and under the catalysis of complex ethnic and religious contradictions, various riots and terrorist bloodshed broke out in the northeast.

According to the incomplete statistics of Indian media, at least 50 rebel groups, large and small, are active in northeast India.

Some only have "a dozen people, seven or eight guns", which is no different from the "mountain king" who robbed others. They often join forces to attack the local military and police and the government, becoming the "worry" of the Indian central government.

What makes India even more uneasy is that neighboring countries have become safe havens for these rebels because of lax border management. They smuggled guns and ammunition and set up a large number of armed training camps abroad.

Whenever Indian government forces carry out large-scale clean-up, they hide in training camps abroad. After the withdrawal of government troops, they returned to India to carry out various terrorist activities.
