2017 Nagaland protests
The 2017 Nagaland protests were a series of demonstrations that erupted in December 2016 and continued into 2017, primarily in the Indian state of Nagaland. Triggered by the delayed implementation of the Nagaland Municipal Act, the protests were fueled by concerns over local governance, tribal autonomy, and the preservation of indigenous rights. The legislation aimed to extend municipal elections in Nagaland, provoking fears among tribal groups that it would undermine customary practices and circumvent traditional governance structures. Numerous rallies and sit-ins were organized, highlighting the tension between modern administrative frameworks and customary laws. The protests gained significant attention, leading to discussions about federalism, state autonomy, and the rights of indigenous communities in India.
