The book describes the problems in the north-east including security, governance, human rights, environment, corruption, and gender disparity. The policy process with regard to the Northeast is also examined. This is one of the first books that takes a close look into the problems of common people of the region and their fight for dignity of life and human rights. This book will be very useful for those who are interested in the North-East, such as institutions and libraries, as well as students, academics, human rights activists, and nongovernmental organisations.
