NSCN's Background:
Isak Chisi Swu, Thuingaleng Muivah, and S.S. Khaplang founded the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) on January 31, 1980, in opposition to the 'Shillong Accord' signed by the then NNC (Naga National Council) with the Indian government.
The group wants to create a 'Greater Nagaland,' and its ideology is founded on the socialist idea of economic development and a spiritual outlook - 'Nagaland for Christ.'
NSCN (K), led by S. S. Khaplang, and NSCN (I-M), led by Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah, are two prominent NSCN factions.
Extortion, bank robberies, and other criminal pursuits are said to be a key source of income for the NSCN-IM, which also engages in extortion, robberies, and other illegal chases to get funds. In addition, the organisation raises finances through mobilising international support.
