Muivah's separatist group and the NSCN are waging parallel campaigns for a homeland in Nagaland. More than 25,000 people have died in insurgency-related violence in the far eastern Indian since 1947. The Indian government last year brokered a cease fire with the NSCN, which collapsed amid continued violence in Nagaland. The state shares a border with Myanmar.
Violence is no answer to solving any problem.
