Vajpayee & Jana Sangh fought Nehru for quarantining fellow Indians in Northeast under Inner Line Permit. Their successors have strengthened & expanded it.
The Union cabinet Wednesday cleared the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill that seeks to grant citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
Home Minister Amit Shah has assured politicians and civil society of the Northeast that regions under ILP system may be shielded from citizenship bill.
Once seen as a fading presence on India’s investment & startup picture, the state is slowly moving up the ladder, with policy reforms & infrastructure building.
Agreement signed during 17th Joint Working Group (JWG) on defence cooperation. Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh met Director General in Israeli Ministry of Defence Amir Baram Tuesday.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Bro, that’s Adi attire of Arunachal Pradesh not Naga attire. Accomplished journalist like yourself should fact check before captioning any wrong information on a photo.
The ” Hindutva” brigade neither knows nor understands the difficulties through which Nehru steered India . The people of the North-East are not ethnic Indians and have kindred closeness to Chinese rather than the Hindu North Indian . Was it not Indira Gandhi , who ensured accession of Sikkim to India ? Even the British were not in control at all of the North-East except a few tea growing pockets . As far as Modi-Shah are concerned they can do any thing to cement their political hegemony -morals be damned!
Para at the top of this article talks of some story telling, and photo at the top of this article shows a joker! How does the joker fit in the pack or the story, I don’t know. Very soon no one will care to know, even if the photo shows our respected prime minister Mr Modi touchingly attempting a human interface. Post-CAB, clamour will turn into a crescendo at a lightning speed across the geographies of India : “Mr Modi and Mr Shah, please go back to Gujarat”.
Shekhar may know North East much better than anyone and may have deep fascination for people who worked there earlier. However, as of now, to sort out CAB issue, if ILP is required, so be it. It can be implemented in a manner of ‘slowly hastening’ towards its removal over few more years! If ILP gives some sense of comfort to the local populace there, it is fine. Today mode and means of communication have changed drastically and complete isolation is impossible. Its is legacy issue and one must commend Modi Shah duo for taking concrete steps to sort it out. As you sort out, some other issue opens up due to its complex intertwined nature. Let us not beat Modi Shah every time with Vajpeyi standards; times have changed and we need to clear old cobwebs fast. Ataljee never had such a majority and Advani would have been a different leader if it were so!!
Fascinating story, it is unfortunate, Modi to some extent may understand, but Shah who has zero knowledge about pre post independence history, geography and culture of North Eastern States. India is going to pay heavily for having a home minister.
Ideology is not an old tree to which one should hang one’s self. Modi was opposed to GST as CM. But, as PM, he implemented it. The seat of power teaches many things which the opposition Bench cannot teach. If BJP has changed its view on ILP, and finds it a suitable way to pacify the agitators, it would be perfectly in keeping with common sense. One need not hang on to an ideological opposition of past, which was on a different basis – that of preventing integration. Now, the urgency is to prevent innundation of these regions by migrants.
So, how do we know that Elwin was not a British mole? His actions surely suggest he was one. Just because the lefty pinhead Guha writes his biography does not make him a saint.

So when the Evangelicals have harvested all the souls there was to harvest in the NE, why still retain it?
