Redrawing Boundaries
Morung Express | Editorial | December 22:
Unlike in mainland India where carving out a new state will not involve more than one State, in the northeast region, the manner in which ethnic groups have been kept divided by colonial forces, makes solution over territory very complicated.
And the problem in the NE region is compounded by the fact the Government of India is now attempting to buy peace with the different ethnic armed groups and in return giving out assurances right, left and centre without any proper homework.
Even more complicated then Assam is the makeup of Manipur State with several fault lines now threatening to break out in the form of new demands for some degree of autonomy ranging from separate district, state within a state, alternative arrangement outside the present State, etc.
In all this new state of turmoil lies the unresolved Naga political issue, which has been rightly mentioned as the longest running conflict in the South Asian region.
