Pages: 1330-1337
Abstract
The Government of India and the Naga political parties have confronted and agreed on their political differences. Several agreements and peace talks have been initiated, but they are far-fetched from peace. This study focuses on the impact of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), 1958,and its impunity and effecton the armed forces. Many incidents related to torture, killings, abuse of power, damage, and loss of property have been shadowed by the power vested to the armed forces by thisAct. Many victims of the brutality of this Act areinnocent Naga civilians. Whether the Government of India should repeal the Act or not in Nagaland is rather challenging to answer accurately. As long as the various political parties and insurgent groups are fractioned in their political ideologies and until they come together under the Naga Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN), no solution is definite. To revoke the Armed Forces Special Powers Act in Nagaland is a complex pattern of the political question as this pursuit is closely associated with the demand for a separate Naga Nation. This research is conducted using qualitative methodology. The researcher has used descriptive research to explain the phenomenon, population, and situation. A survey of qualitative study will be conducted on twenty-five dignitaries in Nagaland from different professions to assessthe current scenario in this regard
