Why?

The correct answer is 'Nagaland' . Key Points President Droupadi Murmu has extended her greetings to Nagaland on its 60 th statehood day. Nagaland was formally recognised as a separate state on 1st December, 1963, with Kohima as its capital. The State of Nagaland Act, 1962, was enacted by the Parliament to give Nagaland a separate statehood. After India became independent in 1947, the Naga territory initially remained a part of Assam. However, a strong nationalist movement began seeking a political union of the Naga tribes, and extremists demanded outright secession from the Indian union. In 1960 it was resolved that Nagaland should become a constituent state of the Indian union. Additional Information Nagaland is a landlocked state in the northeastern region of India. It is bordered by the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh to the north, Assam to the west, Manipur to the south and the Sagaing Region of Myanmar to the east. Its capital city is Kohima and its largest city is Dimapur. Nagaland Chief Minister: Neiphiu Rio; Governor: Jagdish Mukhi
