Laldenga (1937-1990) founded and led the Mizo National Front in Mizoram. Laldenga's transformation into a rebel leader was catalyzed by the severe famine of 1959. Frustrated by the inadequate response of the Indian government, he took up arms and led an armed struggle against India that persisted for two decades. This struggle aimed to secure greater autonomy and recognition of Mizo identity.

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.

After six years of unrest in Assam, the government led by Rajiv Gandhi engaged in negotiations with the AASU leaders, resulting in the signing of Assam accord in 1985. According to this agreement, individuals who had migrated into Assam during and after the Bangladesh war and subsequent periods were to be identified and deported. Following the successful conclusion of the movement, both the AASU and the Asom Gana Sangram Parishad reorganized themselves into a regional political party known as Asom Gana Parishad (AGP). This party came to power in 1985, promising to address the issue of foreign nationals and to foster the development of a 'Golden Assam.'

Kazi Lhendup Dorji Khangsarpa (1904) played a significant role in championing democratic ideals and advocating for the rights of the people of Sikkim. Dorji's leadership began with the founding of the Sikkim Praja Mandal. Over time, he assumed a prominent role as the leader of the Sikkim State Congress. In 1962, Dorji took a decisive step by founding the Sikkim National Congress. Under his leadership, the Sikkim National Congress worked towards achieving the integration of Sikkim with India, a goal that garnered popular support. Following a successful electoral victory, Kazi Lhendup Dorji led the movement for the integration of Sikkim with India. This culminated in Sikkim's formal integration into India in 1975, transforming the erstwhile kingdom into a full-fledged Indian state.
