North East - General
Information

Northeast of India is the
land of Blue Mountains, Green Valleys and Red River.
Nestled in the lesser known Easternmost Himalayas this
region is abundant in natural Beauty, Wild life, Flora &
Fauna and its colourful peoples. A blend of which makes
it the most beautiful Eco-Tourism destination in South
Asia.
The land of Majestic Mountains, crowned with peaks of
sapphire blue -the North-East happens to be the region
where the sun rises first in the entire country. With
first rays of Dawn in India incidentally falling on
Dong, a pristine small village in the easternmost corner
of the North-East we were heading towards the Sun Rise
country.
The people of the region are mostly Mongoloid in origin,
their racial origins being visibly those of the peoples
of Tibet, Burma, Thailand and Laos. They consequently
have little in common with the rest of India.
Whilst some of the more accessible regions came under
British Administration under the Raj, much of the
region, being covered in mountains and jungles and home
to warring tribal groups such as the notorious 'Naked
Naga' headhunters remained off-limits. Although some
tribal people fought with the British and Indian forces
in the decisive battles in Nagaland that turned back the
Japanese in WW11, political unrest continued after
Indian Independence, with head hunting raids persisting
in remote areas into the 1960s. The situation was
further exacerbated by the Chinese incursion into
Arunachal Pradesh in1962 when they reached as far as
Assam, their gateway to India, before running out of
supplies and being pushed back to Chinese Occupied
Tibet.
Throughout this time, the seven states continued to
suffer from ethnic violence and even today, there are
still some freedom movements from both the Bodos of
Assam and the Naga people though they no longer seem to
receive much popular support. There are also tribal
struggles between the Kukis and Nagas of Manipur and
similar unrest in Tripura. Additionally, there are some
border incursions, particularly from Myanmar and an
influx of migrants the area can ill afford, from
Bangladesh and Nepal.
Whilst all this sounds enough to put anyone off, I must
say that our journey was problem free throughout. At a
time when the world is paranoid about 9.11. and its
global repercussions, it couldn't have been more
peaceful. We were overwhelmed by hospitality. The only
guns we saw were those of the Indian Army present in
understandable abundance on the roads of Arunachal
Pradesh where there are strong memories of pillaging by
the Chinese, and on some of the major roads in Nagaland,
key to the area's security. Even the people at the
checkpoints were polite, which made a refreshing change!
The region is a tourist heaven beckoning one who needs
to relax and unwind.
For those who yearn for adventure and excitement there
are mystique & romance in exploring wild life in its
true forms in their natural habitat, experiencing
gushing streams & waterfalls, picturesque mountain
ranges- all fostered by mother nature. It is the perfect
Holiday one could expect away from the crowd straight
into the lap of Nature. |
