North East India once perceived as a paradise has now become a problem in perpetuity due to its badly managed economy and an absolute lack of political vision. Side by side words like alienation exploitation and insecurity are being used across the region to instigate the dangerous problem of insurgency. This has kept the region continuously in a state of flux devoid of political or economic stability so crucial for any meaningful development negating the effects of whatever little economic development has taken place in the region. Centre's continuous development initiatives under the Special Category Status releases huge amount of development funds without creating necessary credit absorption capacity in the economy and consequently has remained unsuccessful in delivering the results woefully dismal have been the half hearted attempts made by the different State Governments in the region from time to time in the name of development. Most of these efforts were directed only towards extracting more assistance and more grants from the Centre. The book revisits these failed initiatives and re examine the crucial areas while searching for an alternative. The volume focuses on an integrated approach towards inter related issues in the entire region with development as the pivotal and overarching factor. The collection of seventeen articles are categorized into five broad sub sections extending from political dynamism to economic intricacies social conflicts and the role of institutions which give us an opportunity to come across the thoughts of scholars to trace the roots of and connections between the problems that plague this region and eventually to forge a common strategy to address the issue of backwardness of this region. 376 pp.
