The Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) is a militant organization operating in Meghalaya, India. It claims to be a representative of the Khasi-Jaintia tribal people, and its aim is to free the Meghalaya from the alleged domination of the Garos and the non-tribal outsiders (the "Dkhars"). It was proscribed in India on 16 November 2000, but the ban was later lifted.〔(Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) ). South Asia Terrorism Portal.〕 == Origin == The Meghalaya state was carved out of the Assam state, with an aim to address the unique needs of the major tribes in the region: the Garos, the Jaintias and the Khasis. However, discontent grew among the tribals due to the alleged high-handedness of the security forces, the youth unemployment and the inability to compete with non-tribal businesses. This led to the rise of several insurgent groups in the state. The origins of HNLC lie in the Hynniewtrep Achik Liberation Council (HALC), the first militant organization in Meghalaya, which claimed to be a representative of the three major tribes of the state. After a split occurred in HALC over tribal differences, the Garo members formed a new outfit called Achik Matgrik Liberation Army (AMLA), while the Khasi and Jaintia members formed the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) in 1993. The original HNLC leadership consisted of: * Julius K Dorphang, Chairman * Cheristerfield Thangkhiew, General Secretary * M. Diengdoh, Publicity Secretary * Bobby Marwein, Commander-in-Chief Julius K Dorphang resigned and surrendered to the Government of India on 24 July 2007, as a result of the internal differences within HNLC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
