The Northeast is known in the rest of India only as a region of conflict. That there is violence in the region is beyond doubt but that is not only identity. The state views the conflicts only as a law and order issue. The authors of the papers in the present book try to find out whether it is only a law and order issue or more than that. These case studies done by students and other beginners are an effort to identify the causes of the conflicts and possible solutions to them.
