Ceasefire Agreements — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

For Prelims, focus on the factual aspects of ceasefire agreements. Memorize the key dates and parties involved in major Indian accords like Mizoram (1986, MNF), Bodo (2003/2020, BLT/NDFB), and the start of the Naga ceasefire (1997, NSCN-IM).

Understand the constitutional articles (Art 355, 356) and legal acts (AFSPA, UAPA) that provide the framework or interact with these agreements. Differentiate between a 'ceasefire,' 'Suspension of Operations (SoO),' and a 'peace accord.

' Pay attention to current affairs related to ongoing peace talks, especially in the Northeast and any significant developments concerning LoC ceasefires. Practice MCQs that test your knowledge of these specific details and distinctions.
