Synopsis:

The historical connections among the traditional tribes in the Northeast are largely of Tibet to Burman/Mongoloid stoch and closer to Southeast Asia than to South Asia. It is ethnically, linguistically and culturally very distinct from the other states of India. Northeast India is plagued by inter-ethnic conflict. The emerging educated elite of the ethnic groups articulates values and interests which generate a lot of conflict because many of them are competing with each other for share of resources. The most important form of conflict besetting the realith of this areas is the one associated with, what is called in northeast India (NEI), extremist politics. Such politics, characterized by unconstitutional, and very often, violent methods, began in moder India, immediately after the British colonial rule came to an end in the middle of the twentieth century and when a section of the Nagas refused to join the newly formed republic. The book highlights the fact that contemporary North-East India remains witness to the momentous developments arising out of ethnic mobilization.
