<br/><br/> In Nagaland, the Eastern Nagas’ demand for separate statehood is not based on issues of identity alone but can be seen in the larger context of the lack of development. The current solution arrived at through the tripartite agreement may be the practical solution considering the complexities of the issue. Further, this demand for separate statehood is often driven by class interests, economic motives, and the political ambition of the community elite in eastern Nagaland rather than the aspirations of the masses. – Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2025/38/commentary/sub-regionalism-and-demand-frontier-nagaland.html<br/>
