| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The root causes for continued turbulence in the Northeast of India can be summed up, inter alia, as the three 'E's - Ethnicity, Economic Development, and Elections. The Northeast has been the recipient of a variety of immigrants each with a distinct ethnic identity. In Assam, a process of assimilation had been going on for a long time with the various groups getting used to the idea of being regarded as part of the Mosaic of Assam, accepting the Assamese Language and opting for a lot of the cultural practices and religious modes. Even the Naga tribes use Assamese as their lingua franca. Unfortunately, however, this process of assimilation and absorption has not only been halted, but is being reversed. |
