On 14 August 1947, one day before India gained its independence, certain Naga groups declared the independence of region.

As British paramountcy in India ended, A Z Phizo, president of the Naga National Council (NNC) declared independence on August 14, 1947. Since then the Nagaland Hills have been in turmoil, and despite creation of a separate Nagaland state in 1963, the movement has continued.
