About the book

A Resurgent Northeast: Narratives of Change portrays a picture of transformational change sweeping across the remotest and least known corner of India. Geographically distant and ethnically distinct from the rest of the country, the people of this frontier land faced monumental neglect from the capital for nearly seven decades as a result of Nehru’s approach of minimal governmental intervention in this region. But this has changed over the last decade. Indifference has given way to active engagement.

Northeast India is brimming with renewed hope.

Drawing upon his experiences as a policymaker and administrator in Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh, Ashish Kundra chronicles the journey of the people of the Northeast to emerge out of a long shadow of strife, and strikes a personal chord through conversations that capture the pulse of a new Northeast.
