The Northeast India has become a renewed concern for the contemporary social scientists working on this region. This book is one that shows similar concerns. It revisits the trends of changes in Northeast India from the premodern, colonial, post-colonial to the postmodern times and critiques the very direction of change that happened in the region. In the post-liberal regime the Northeast India has come to face stiffer challenges that has led the region towards a future, essentially market driven and made the region economically and socially more vulnerable. This book intends to provoke larger debates among the academic community, policy makers and development practitioners in Northeast India.
