Designated as a terrorist group by India

The National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) is a Naga militant and separatist group operating mainly in northeastern part of India, with minor activities in northwest Myanmar (Burma).[2][10] The main aim of the organisation is allegedly to establish a sovereign Naga state, "Nagalim",[11] which would consist of all the areas inhabited by Naga tribes in Northeast India and northwest Myanmar.[4] India claims that China and Pakistan provide financial support and weaponry to the NSCN. Drug trafficking and extortion are believed to be other major sources of income for the NSCN.[citation needed]

There are two major factions of the NSCN, NSCN-K, which was led by S. S. Khaplang, and NSCN-IM, which was led by Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah.[12] Smaller factions comprise the rest of the NSCN. In 2015, in response to an attack on an army convoy in Manipur, India designated the NSCN-K as a terrorist organization under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.[13] India's Ministry of Home Affairs labels NSCN a major insurgent group.[14]
