The remotest and least-known region of India is shown to be undergoing revolutionary change in A Resurgent Northeast: Narratives of Transformation. As a result of Nehru's policy of little governmental interference in this region, the people of this frontier land, which is geographically remote and ethnically unique from the rest of the country, endured massive neglect from the capital for nearly seven decades. Yet over the past ten years, this has altered. Active engagement has replaced indifference. India's northeast is filled with new promise. Ashish Kundra describes the struggle of the people of the Northeast to emerge from a long shadow of strife, drawing on his experiences as a policymaker and administrator in Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh, and strikes a human chord through talks.
