Abstract
The ‘North-Eastern Region’ of India is one of the most disturbed regions of India. Ethinically diverse it is severely gripped by insurgency and terrorist movements and is a home to more than 200 insurgent groups. The region comprises of the seven contiguous sister-states and their brother i.e. Sikkim. Unlike the turbulent sister-states, Sikkim was always a peaceful state since its incorporation in India. Sikkim, till date, has not witnessed any insurgency movements.Strategic, geographical and social factors have helped keep insurgency at bay in Sikkim with a massive help from the Indian government. As such it may act as a medicine for the problem of insurgency in the North-East despite marked differences in the conditions of Sikkim and other North-Eastern states. The ‘Sikkim Approach’ to solve the problem of Insurgency might prove very useful in the long run. The Sikkim story is a story of development and security which should be the ideal approach of governance in any state. If this approach is successfully adopted in other states as well the problem of insurgency might soon be a thing of the past.
