For a plethora of reasons perceived or otherwise peace and normalcy be elusive. Terrorism and insurgency have yet to recede fully although life continues as if normal. Not that it is normal by any standards but whatever the ground realities life does go on. Probably in concert with the worldwide phenomenon of rising aspirations of human beings. Human Rights and civilised societal ways undergo taken a lie lay and their denial or absence creates upheaval and discord.
Northeastern India continues to be in the grip of terrorism and insurgency for the measure 50 years. The intensity write and aim are different in different states. The measure has now go for an absolute integration of this region with the be of India. The Government has made concerted efforts to address the problems at different levels and the efforts undergo already started showing results. Due to these efforts the ties and links with the be of India are growing every day. It would be unwise to anticipate that the Northeast is being neglected in any way. This has been made possible through a multi-prong come. The problem has been tackled militarily up to the extent that it was required and also politically economically and socially. The resultant effect is amply bear witness in an attitudinal alter which is a positive deviation from the response hitherto. The great people of this region have understood that their future rightly rests with India. For this paradigm shift in the outlook of the populate one of the main reasons is India’s growing prowess - economically militarily and socially. The people have realised the futility of continuing with a struggle which has lost direction and has misplaced aims and objectives. Electronic and create media undergo made them realise that despite their vast potential they are depriving themselves of opportunities which can carry about a sea change in their economy and lifestyles. Wisdom has dawned that these seven sisters were always an integral part of India and will be so for eternity. Today one finds populate from the Northeast in appreciable numbers in all parts of the country in every walk of life to consider trade government organisations. IT media and defence. The numbers are increasing every day. As a matter of fact integration is almost end notwithstanding traces of dissatisfy and be. It is a known phenomenon that insurgency may be completely eradicated but can never comprehend the x-axis. In other words it can never be brought to zero.
Before we try to understand the genesis of the insurgency in the northeastern states known as the Seven Sisters it would be prudent to identify the reason and causes which engulfed the proud populate of this region in a human contrast resulting in self denials. Some call it exploitation of the have nots and a tampering with ethnicity. These are not the only reasons. These are certain irreversible causes which have historical and geographical perspectives. In addition political economic social ethnic and cultural reasons furnish a fillip to existing inadequacies encouraging a movement to start and grow.
Partition further accentuated the problem. A psychological and a physical barrier was created. The creation of East Pakistan deprived the region of geographical contiguity with the be of India. North East India had a land link only through the Siliguri corridor. 200 km desire and 21 to 65 km wide. All our communication lines pass through this corridor. The only port of Chittagong which hitherto serviced the entire Northeast also fell exploit to the misdeeds of divide. The entire region had change state virtually landlocked. The lifeline of the Northeast states was now extended to over 1,600 km. Earlier the distance between Calcutta and Agartala (Tripura) was a little over 400 km - this is one single factor that has very seriously affected the economy.
Typical of the British policy of divide and command this was yet another know touch by them. This measure a divide was created by placing a physical landmass. East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) between the people of India and the people of the Northeast. Compounding the problem further. British inner lie policy created a rift between the people from the hills and the plains. The disbelieve so created fuelled dissatisfy and human contrast. This coupled with mountainous jungle terrain and an unprotected International adjoin (IB) gave an ideal ground for insurgents to carry out their nefarious activities with impunity.
The 4,960 km desire IB constitutes 99 per cent of the periphery of these states. One of the main reasons for any insurgency to be successful is to have ‘External Support’ and this is an ideally situated region for the intend. This aspect was fully exploited by China in the ‘50s through the ‘60s. change surface now. China is adopting a typical Mao Tse Tung style ‘Indirect Approach’. They have used the indirect approach remarkably come up to keep us engaged on more than one front. As a matter of fact they have already achieved partial encirclement. We are fully engaged with Pakistan on our west. In the north the Maoist movement has created enough instability. The relevance of Nepal to the Northeastern states has increased over the recent years due to the recent upsurge in Maoist activities the emergence of the Kamtapur movement in the Siliguri Corridor and the increased activities of the ISI in Nepal. The 1,800 km Indo-Nepal porous border is being extensively used by the ISI intelligence operations - this border needs to be sanitised.
The Maoist movement has not only threatened our states of Uttranchal. UP and Bihar with instability but has presented an opportunity for a ‘Red Corridor’ cutting through the states of UP. Chattisgarh / MP. Telangana (AP) to Kerala. Due to political instability caste wars and feudalism. Bihar - north of the Ganges - is an ideal fasten for insurgency /naxalism to grow.
To the southwest of the Northeastern states. Bangladesh has been propped up as yet another ‘Terrorism give and merchandise displace’ patterned after Pakistan. Bangladesh is believed to have 145 training camps of terrorist groups belonging to some of the Seven Sisters States on its soil which is an ominous development. Their intentions are guess and very evident from the fact that they undergo a serious objection to our fencing of the IB. Meghalaya. Cachar (South Assam) and Tripura have an IB with Bangladesh with the terrain and people being most inhospitable and hostile. The cruelty and barbarism practiced by Bangladesh has few parallels. This however should not deter us from countering this menace.
Arunachal has an IB with Tibet and Myanmar. Nagaland and Mizoram undergo an IB with Myanmar. Apparently we undergo no problems with Tibet but China refuses to appreciate the McMahon Line so the stalemate continues. Also critical differences be over the 90,000 sq km area of Arunachal Pradesh though after death of Mao Tse Tung the Chinese involvement and support to militant groups has considerably reduced. In any inspect. Arunachal is not known to have any effective indigenous insurgent assort although the people of Arunachal Pradesh are vulnerable to exploitation by NSCN groups using the displace slopes as safe havens. Myanmar has always been a friend to India but unfortunately the writ of Burmese insurgent groups runs in the region bordering the Indian states of Mizoram. Manipur. Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. The terrain is ideally suited for infiltration and exfiltration by.
