Synopsis

Before the introduction of modern political and administrative institutions after 1947, Northeast India led a comparatively cloistered existence. The steps taken toward "development" during the last forty years have radically altered the economic, social, and political organization of the region and made it one of the most disturbed and politically volatile in all of India. This book analyzes the problems and prospects for change in the Northeast in light of its complex history.

About this title

From the Back Cover

The north-eastern region of India has undergone radical change since Independence, more so than any other part of the country. 'Development', along with the introduction of modern political and administrative institutions, has had repercussions that have transformed the region into one of the most volatile in India. In this book B. P. Singh analyses the problems and prospects of the north-east in the light of its complex history and the major socio-economic and political developments that have occurred over the past few decades.
