The Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (abbreviated NSCN) is a Greater Naga Revolutionist,Naga nationalist insurgent group operating mainly in Northeast India, with minor activities in northwest Myanmar (Burma) until 2012. The main goal of the organisation is to establish a sovereign Naga state, "Nagalim", which would consist of all the areas inhabited by the Naga people in Northeast India and Northwest Myanmar.
The NSCN (K) has been designated a terrorist organisation in India under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
(NSCN) which is the abbreviation for the National Socialist Council of Nagalim was formed on 31 January 1980 by late Isak Chishi Swu who hails from Sumi (Sema) of Naga tribe, Thuingaleng Muivah who hails from Somdal Village of Ukhrul District, the headquarter for the Tangkhul Community and S.S. Khaplang opposing the Shillong Accord signed by the then Naga National Council (NNC) with the Government of India. The name of the Government is called, "The People Republic of Nagaland (Nagalim)". Later, a disagreement surfaced within the outfit leaders over the issue of commencing dialogue with the Indian Government. On 30 April 1988, the NSCN split into two factions; the NSCN-K led by S S Khaplang, and the NSCN-IM, led by Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah. The split was accompanied by a spate of violence and clashes between the factions.The NSCN may be recalled to be a armed group formed during the pre Independence period of India demanding a separate sovereignty from the British rule.
