Meghalayan nationalist movement

Nations Without States has an entry on Meghalaya, one of the states of India. Meghalaya is a mountainous area between the Assam lowlands on its north, and the Bangladesh border on its south. The great majority of its inhabitants are tribal peoples speaking Mon-Khmer or Sino-Tibetan languages. The major religions are Christianity and traditional animism. The flag of the nationalist movement is given as a simple tricolor of red, pale blue, and yellow.

Trying to help to untangle a bit the mess with the flags of the liberation movements and political organizations of North East India let me point to the page at http://www.satp.org/satporgtp/countries/india/states/meghalaya/terrorist_outfits/hnlc.htm where the HNLC is described in considerable detail. As far as I know, the flag of the HNLC was obtained by Jaume directly from the source, that is the HNLC itself, so there is no doubts about it.
