Who was the leader of the movement for independent Nagaland ?

Angami Zapu Phizo

The correct answer is option (3) - Angami Zapu Phizo

Angami Zapu Phizo (1904-1990) was a prominent leader in the movement for an independent Nagaland, a region inhabited by the Naga people in Northeast India. He served as the president of the Naga National Council. Phizo's involvement in the Naga independence movement led to the initiation of an armed struggle against the Indian state.

The story of Nagaland is similar to Mizoram, except that it started much earlier and has not yet had such a happy ending. Led by Angami Zaphu Phizo, a section of the Nagas declared independence from India way back in 1951. Phizo turned down many offers of negotiated settlement. The Naga National Council launched an armed struggle for the sovereignty of Nagas. After a period of violent insurgency, a section of the Nagas signed an agreement with the Government of India but this was not acceptable to other rebels. The problem in Nagaland still awaits a final resolution.
