 HISTORICAL
BACKGROUND
The northeastern region of India has a rich history
dating back to ancient times. It was inhabited by
various indigenous tribes and ethnic groups, each
with its own distinct culture, traditions, and socio-
political systems.
The region's strategic location, rich natural
resources, and cultural diversity attracted the
attention of the British colonial administration.
After India gained independence in 1947, efforts
were made to integrate the northeastern states into
the Indian Union
The Government of India implemented various
policies to address these issues, including the
creation of autonomous councils and special
development packages.
Today, the northeastern states of India are an integral
part of the Indian Union, contributing to the
country's cultural diversity, economic growth, and
strategic significance.
