About the Book :

This book takes stock of the planned development being attempted in North East India, especially in the light of globalization. It studies the situation in the region and its environment for identifying the roots of disaffection of the disgruntled elements in the region. It further provides grist to the mill of speculation about the boastful unity of the country and the lasting cohesion of the structure of the Indian Civilization. It also emphasizes that the Sarvodaya is the panacea for resolving the grievances of the people, and pleads for all-sided progress and development of North East India, giving fillip to the local autonomy, preservation of their cultural ethos and providing the tribal people an honourable place.
