Deep dives
Historical Neglect of the North East
The historical context behind the North East's neglect reveals a legacy of colonial policies that excluded the region from mainstream Indian society. British policies, rooted in a divide-and-rule approach, created barriers that separated the North East from the rest of India, fostering a sense of alienation among its people. These policies, which included restrictions on movement and the establishment of territorial boundaries, aimed to control the region but ultimately left lasting implications for governance and development. Post-independence, the Indian government continued to overlook the North East, resulting in a lack of infrastructure and resources that further marginalized its communities.
