Nationalist movement in Northeast India

The nationalist movement in Northeast India emerged as local communities sought greater political recognition and autonomy within India. It was driven by concerns over preserving indigenous cultures, identities, and resources amid perceived neglect by central authorities. Movements ranged from peaceful protests to demands for regional autonomy or independence, influenced by regional histories, ethnic identities, and political aspirations. These efforts aimed to ensure that Northeast India's unique social fabric and interests were represented and protected within the broader Indian nation.
