“…30 Even before the ceasefire was concluded, then, state actors engaged in a series of violent and non-violent efforts to reshape the terms and rules underpinning the emerging ceasefire order. [Insert Table Four: Pre-Ceasefire Order Negotiation, 1994-1997 Although the Indian government pushed the group towards talks, the NSCN-IM's growing presence in the contiguous Naga-inhabited areas, tied to its demand for 'Greater Nagalim,' had a crucial bearing on how state-insurgent order would emerge and then fragment in the post-1997 ceasefire period. Delhi's preference for a quick reduction in hostilities against central security forces left unresolved ambiguities that presented opportunities for the NSCN-IM to consolidate local influence, contest that of rivals and attempt to re-shape the terms of the post-ceasefire peace talks in its favour.…”

“…This is a Marxist Christian revolutionary force. 'Nagaland for Christ', has been one of the slogans of one of the factional groups of the NSCN [34]. Many of these insurgent groups have followed the political ideology of 'Nagalim' or the attempt to create what many Naga people see as a 'greater Nagaland'.…”

INTRODUCTION:differences in the nature of the political systems of the two countries, (one being democratic and the other being a predominantly authoritarian state) the state policies directed towards these peripheral regions and the nature of these conflicts have been strikingly similar.Methodologically, the paper follows a bottom-up approach and emphasises on the voices of the ordinary people. The arguments put forward by the people are often not in keeping with the stories, and arguments put forward by the political elite. In depth interviews were carried out to further the arguments in the paper. The bottom-up approach was carried out by doing semistructured or non-directive interviews with people from these conflict zones. 'The least structured form of interviewing is the non-structured or non-directive interview. Here no pre-specified set of questions is employed, nor are the questions asked in a specified order' [1]. There is no schedule. 'With little or no direction from the interviewer, respondents are encouraged to relate their experiences, to describe whatever events seem significant to them, to provide their own definitions of their situations, and to reveal their opinions and attitudes as they see fit. The interviewer has a great deal of freedom to probe various areas and to raise specific queries during the course of the interview'[1]. This flexibility and the spontaneity with which the interviewees respond are most certainly some of the strengths of this method. Now let us first start with India, and then in the second half of the paper we will be looking at China.
