North East India the ethnic explosion
North East India: The Ethnic Explosion by Nirmal Nibedon (1981) is a seminal work analysing the rising tide of ethnic identity politics and communal tensions in India’s northeastern states. Nibedon warns of an “ethnic explosion,” noting that various tribal, linguistic, and racial minorities (especially those of Mongoloid stock) are increasingly mobilizing to assert their distinct identity. He draws attention to the political, economic, and cultural fault lines within the region and predicts prolonged conflicts unless the central government and international actors pay serious attention. Through historical narrative, demographic analysis, and interviews, Nibedon explores the root causes of ethnic strife: land alienation, political representation, and socio-economic marginalization. This book is particularly relevant to scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of identity, insurgency, and governance in Northeast India.
