16 Point Agreement in Nagaland

The Tibetan delegation initially contradicted the No. 1 reference to the „aggressive imperialist forces of Tibet,“ but later admitted that there might be forces they did not know. Points #2 and #3 were asked about the meaning of „local government“, although the meaning of „national regional autonomy“ was not discussed as the Tibetan delegation felt that things would continue as before. The Ngapois delegation tried to remove the guarantees of power for the Panchen Lama in points 5 and 6, but the Chinese delegation replied that the Panchen Lama and the Dalai Lama should be treated in the same way; Either they guaranteed their power or they did not. The Tibetans recognized the point. Fundamental differences over Number 8, the dissolution of the Tibetan army, led to the promise to renegotiate the issue later. The most controversial point was item No. 15 regarding the establishment of a military and administrative committee, with the Tibetan delegation believing that it did not agree with position No. 11 on the Tibetan local government, which is itself carrying out reforms. Most of the other points were accepted without comment or with minor translation adjustments. In order to avoid embarrassing problems for the Chinese delegation, agreements should then be reached with the Tibetan delegation on issues such as keeping the Tibetan army in separate and secret agreements.

[11] As the only living signatory to the agreement, Jamir said the NPC has always sought to create a favorable political environment in the region to clearly and unequivocally emphasize the basis for the Nagas` legitimate claims and protracted political aspirations before the Indian government. Although no deadline for the establishment of the proposed registry was mentioned in the official RIIN notice, the Nagaland authorities have so far issued certificates to Indigenous residents using the december 1, 1963 deadline. Nagaland was inaugurated on July 26, 1960 as the 16th state of India under the 16-point agreement between the Indian government and the Naga People`s Convention. The Shillong Agreement of November 1975 offered no rights. Clause 3(ii) of the Main Agreement and the five clauses of the Supplementary Agreement set out the terms and conditions for the capitulation of the clandestine guerrillas and their disarmament. After the 16-point agreement signed between the Naga People`s Convention and the Indian government, the NHTA became a full-fledged state of Nagaland on December 1, 1963. It was the 16th state of the Indian Union. However, special arrangements were made for Tuensang District at that time, as it was relatively late for the district to have a regional council with the deputy commissioner as president for a period of ten years. The regional council also appointed tribal representatives as members of the Nagaland Legislative Assembly. There was a Ministry of Tuensang Affairs in the ranks of the appointed members of the region. It was not until 1973, at the end of the ten-year period, that the regional council was abolished and the population of Tuensang District began to participate with the rest of the state in elections to the Nagaland Legislative Assembly. Out of a total of 60 seats in the Assembly, there were 20 deputies from the region.

Later, the three districts of Nagaland were reclassified into seven districts, with Tuensang being divided into two districts: Tuensang and Mon. Tuensang spread in 2004 when Longleng and Kiphire became two of its district subdivisions. As the only living signatory to the agreement, Jamir recorded the indisputable reality that the NPC has always sought to create a favorable political environment in the region to clearly and unequivocally highlight the fundamental basis of the Nagas` legitimate claims and long-standing political aspirations before the Indian government. With the appointment of RN Ravi, the interlocutor of the Indo-Naga peace process, as Governor of Nagaland on 20 July 2019 and the repeal of Articles 370 and 35A on 5 August 2019, the Naga Peace Initiative has become an abyss. Intransigence on the issue of the constitution and the Naga flag has created a situation in which the peace process survives from one deadline to another (31 October 2019 was announced as the first deadline and September 2020 as the second deadline). From RN Ravi in his governor speech on the 1st. In December 2020, the demand for a separate Naga flag and constitution was ruled out, only the Sanguins hope for a positive result. The People`s Liberation Army crossed the Jinsha River on October 6 or 7, 1950 and defeated the Tibetan Army on October 19. [8] [9] Instead of continuing the military campaign, China asked Tibet to send representatives to Beijing to negotiate a deal. The Dalai Lama believes that the draft agreement was drafted by China and that Tibetan representatives were not allowed to propose changes. The solemn and unanimous NPC resolution aims to save the hopes and aspirations of the Naga people, he said, adding that the agreement was designed and worked out with great caution and prudence, taking into account all the social and societal realities that serve as the basis for an honorable solution to the Naga issue.

. Stagnant demand for a separate Naga flag and constitution and the expected disruption of skills in Naga-inhabited areas outside Nagaland could cancel the talks. In an interview on October 16, 2020, Th. Muivah, General Secretary of the NSCN (IM), had unequivocally refused to sign an agreement that did not contain a separate Naga flag and constitution. It is not desirable to propose bypassing the NSCN (GI) in order to reach an early conclusion of the talks quickly. Restrictions on the implementation of skills outside Nagaland would undermine any possibility of peace by preventing the Nagas from bringing benefits to Arunachal, Assam and Manipur. The solemn and unanimous NPC resolution aims to save the hopes and aspirations of the Naga people, he said, adding that the agreement was designed and drafted very consciously and carefully, taking into account all the urgent and exhausting socio-political realities that prevail to serve as a basis for an honorable solution to the thwarted Naga issue. The agreement was preceded and followed by a pacification programme along tribal and regional borders. After 1964, a district-by-district pacification approach was implemented – a logical consequence of the idea that had given the governor exclusive administrative jurisdiction over Tuensang District.

Tribalism has been used to achieve political goals. Rivalry in the ranks of the NNC along the tribal lines reached a focal point with the assassination of General Kaito, which led to a series of murders along the tribal lines. (Kumar Sanjay Singh is an Associate Professor in the Department of History, Swami Sharddhanand College, University of Delhi) Jamir, the only survivor among the 21 signatories of the 16-point agreement, spoke at the governor`s „At Home“ ceremony on the occasion of the 71st Republic Day, unveiling a plaque that surrounds the Durbar Hall in the Dr. Imkongliba Hall in the Raj Bhavan. Professor Partha Sarthi Gupta speculated on how regional political aspirations in independent India could have been better taken into account if sufficient attention had been paid to the history of the Baltic states. In order to take into account the conflicting territorial claims of the ethnic communities of the north-east, it will be useful to examine the dynamics of the formation of the „passport state“ in Switzerland, or rather the confederation of Swiss cantons. in which political elites of different social groups have succeeded in creating a viable pluralist state through a process of mutual tolerance and adaptation. The 16-point deal granted statehood to Nagaland, but is more restrictive. The clauses of the agreement can be divided into two categories. The first extended to nagas, rights granted to other ethnic, cultural and religious minorities, such as the right to freely exercise their customs and religions, the prohibition of the transfer of tribal lands and the right to establish local administrative bodies responsible for customary law, etc.

It also gave them the right to be represented. These are rights granted to any citizen who accepts Indian nationality; therefore, no specific rights were granted to the Nagas. Dixi et salvivi animam meam!! („I spoke and saved my soul. These divisions have fragmented support for the NNC and undermined its legitimacy, but they have invented the possibility of reaching a pan-Naga consensus, a must to ensure lasting peace. Fear and distrust dominated people`s minds and souls. .
