The correct answer is: a) Complete independence for Nagaland.
The Naga Hills District Tribal Council (NHDTC) was a political organization formed in 1946 by Naga leaders to represent the interests of the Naga people. The NHDTC advocated for complete independence for Nagaland, arguing that the Naga people were a distinct ethnic group with their own culture and history. The NHDTC’s demands were rejected by the Indian government, which refused to grant independence to Nagaland. The NHDTC’s demands led to a long-running conflict between the Indian government and the Naga people, which continues to this day.
Option b) is incorrect because the NHDTC did not advocate for greater autonomy within Assam. The NHDTC wanted complete independence for Nagaland, not greater autonomy within Assam.
Option c) is incorrect because the NHDTC did not advocate for integration into Manipur. The NHDTC wanted complete independence for Nagaland, not integration into Manipur.
Option d) is incorrect because the NHDTC did not advocate for union with Burma. The NHDTC wanted complete independence for Nagaland, not union with Burma.
