The most neglected part of India: North-East

N-E: The India we don't know (The Times of India)

Times News Network has got many facts why this part of India is ignored and what people from other parts think about it. "The first thing people must recognise is that the north-east comprises not one, but several cultures. Each state has its own rich and distinct culture. The rest of the country has still not awoken to the subtleties and nuances of it. There's no denying the undercurrent of alienation which springs from years of neglect," says Singhajit Singh, Manipuri dancer. The article has a valid point: It's a Catch-22 situation. To generate resources and jobs, states need economic activity. But private investment is not happening because basic infrastructure is lacking and there's a general feeling of insecurity because of insurgency.
