Ph.D Scholar, Department of Political Science, North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU), Shillong

Abstract

Conflict and Peace are terms that are exhaustively stressed expression, but lack universally agreed definition. Nonetheless, generally, it is held by many that peace is the result of a successful resolution or settlement or management of conflict. In essence, conflict is an inevitable element required in comprehending the concept of peace, which is indispensable for the well-being of humankind. This research article attempts to articulate that the long-drawn political conflict in Nagaland has the potential to disturb a peaceful atmosphere in India in general and Northeast India in particular.
