. Manshi Dangmei and Dr. K. Maharajan


Abstract

The study examines the various module of the insurgent groups in Manipur. The rising of left-wing extremism is threatening the state and a series of insurgencies have emerged rapidly in the region intrigued by youth. Specifically, the researcher focuses on the insurgency activities and how it impinges on the ethnic groups of people and analyses the heinous crime by the armed groups in the society. Eventually, the insurgent groups prevail in the entire state, their revolt against the government, which leads the law and order of the land to become shoddier. Poverty, corruption, threat and extortion, administrative failure, political involvement and human rights abuses are the significant impacts of insurgency activities in the region. The central government declared Manipur a "Disturb Area" in 1980 and imposed Armed Forced Special Power Act 1958 to tackle the insurgency activities. Insurgency action has a broad, profound and complex impact on the state's socio-economic development and politics.
