The volume bring together papers which were originally presented in a Seminar held at the Institute in late 1996. All of them have been revised by their Authors for publication in this volume. India's North-East is still an enigma to many living in the rest of the country and the volatility it has exhibited in the recent past is a matter of rather helpless concern for the Indian State as well as others. The book should help remove at least part of the enigma and may show the way to transforming our "helplessness' into a sensitively constructive response.
