Abstract

In this research paper, the political, historical, cultural, and geographical aspects of the North Eastern area of India are examined. Scattered across eight states, the region's population of approximately 51 million people is home to over 335 tribal tribes and a wealth of cultural and linguistic variety. It must, however, also deal with issues like insurgency, which is brought on by long-standing grudges, anger, and brittle borders. British strategy deliberately kept the region remote until India attained independence, which allowed the indigenous tribal people to evolve distinctive social systems. Because of the perception that the central government was marginalising and neglecting them, rebel activities persisted even after post-independence constitutional revisions like the Sixth Schedule, which were meant to grant autonomy to tribal territories. The distinct circumstances of several countries are examined in this study through an examination of historical grievances, demographic shifts, and separatist movements. In addition to separatist upheavals, demographic revolutions, and population shifts, Assam has seen the Assam Movement against the practice of illegal immigration." The region is seen as geopolitically significant because to its proximity to China, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Ultimately, the region's complex socioeconomic context and enduring problems are recognised. It also discusses how peace accords and development programmes may be used to put an end to insurgencies.
