This volume offers the reader a new way of looking at the conflicts that are taking place in the Northeastern region of India, and provides us with suitable solutions to resolve them. The essays in this book discuss how democratic politics and the world of armed rebellions intersect in difficult ways in these regions. Summary of the Book Most of us would have noticed a reorientation in India’s policy towards the Northeast region. In the last decade, India has studied the armed civil conflicts and ways to manage, resolve and transform them. With this volume, there is a new emphasis on the term rethinking, and new ways are offered to understand the conflicts, and how we can resolve them. The multi layered nature of the conflicts has been discussed along with how the democratic politics and armed rebellions intersect. There is an analysis, discussion and argument of the Naga war and its nation changing project, how the Northeast figures in the postcolonial India’s national imagination, how the Assamese society engages with the term ‘terrorist’, and how the state and society conflicts in Mizoram have been muted. The alternative vision of development in Arunachal Pradesh has also been discussed.
