Nagaland is most definitely one of the most vibrant states in the NE as well as India and the Naga youth among the most enterprising. This ranking is indeed shocking. SG is right to appeal to the insurgent leaders who need to look beyond power politics and acquiring territory in other states and act with genuine concern for the people.

Actually sir, Serchhip (#5) district is the best performing district from Mizoram, then Lunglei (#8). Correct me if I am wrong, but around 10 years ago, I heard that a lot of Naga youths are choosing to live outside the state, in cities like New Delhi and even abroad. If this is true, I wonder if this could be one reason as to why the state has ranked so low. Of course, why the youths decide to live elsewhere could be due the insurgency or political climate, which Pu Gupta has already mentioned.

Same here. Though I have difference of opinion with Mr. SG on some issues.

Served in NE for 6 years plus. Been to each of them. Have fond memories of the period.

U missed to share Sikkim became part of India 🇮🇳 in mid 70s. It never suffered insurgency issues but mind set to be Indian took time.

I love your content. Keep updating with the history of how Northeast state annexed to union of India.

[@user-ry5eb8ti9v]

The very question or the statement that we need to make about "How well do we know Northeast?" is an absolute shame..... I hope to see more NE insight videos by SG!!

Sir I'm from Arunachal Pradesh. The road to Kra Dadi has been in dilapidated condition since the formation of our state in 86'. Looking at a map one would think that the Arunachal Districts that you've mentioned are close to Assam, but the reality is just the opposite of that. Yes even though districts like Kurung kume, Kra Dadi are near to Assam and should be, but actually very far from Assam. Reason behind is the poor connectivity, due to years of corruption and bad bureaucracy. But surprisingly districts like Papumpare shouldn't have performed that bad because it's just 30 kms from the Assam border. However, it's understandably so because Guwahati is >350 kms away from Itanagar and due to transportation costs, a lot of cheap items become costly for our capital citizens. This also brings the level of corruption into the limelight. Thank you good sir. I'll make sure I make a detailed analysis on the mentioned report and publish an article in the local prints.

[@yerramillivenkatanarayanam2584]

Very educative Sir. Even reputed news papers care less while publishing news about these NE states. I think road /railway connect to these states have to be improved many folds. New Central Government institutes have to be established so as to bring these states to the mainstream of the India.

[@manishsheth2502]

India needs to restructure Rajya Sabha to ensure Equal representation from all states... Similar to American senate...suddenly all states will become important... Small, big, north east everyone will feel involved.. Bigger States may decide, who governs the country. But other small states won't be neglected, since they are equally represented in one of the houses..

[@existensistrubczthentruscatt]

centrism shouldn't exceed constitution and constitution should be a centre .

[@mayankanand1153]

No one talks about what North east peoples thinks,what they want and how we should treat them. They are forced to adopt treatment of mainland indians as whatever it is.

The Native tribes of North East India and their culture must be protected. Already so much damage has been done by Christian Missionaries. The Insurgency and Separatist movements are fueled by these foreign funded missionaries, KZbinr Karl Rock made a video about this issue as well.

[@sauron2000000]

So, what do you suggest? How should Indian like you protect them? And from whom?

[@seventhuser904]

@@sauron2000000 'Indians like me' can ask our Government to do whatever is necessary to Protect the Native culture and to stop it from being overrun by Christian Missionaries, Insurgency and leftism. 'Indians like me' must vote for a party who can achieve these goals and keep the country United.

[@seventhuser904]

@@sauron2000000 Nothing can be done. Meghalaya, Nagaland are gone cases. Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh are on the same path. Tripura and Assam are still holding on. What can be done now is to identify and choke all the fundings Missionaries receive from in and Out of India. Not just the native tribes and their Culture is being wiped out but it is a pre planned way to fuel up Separatist movements in North East India. This Country is United by it's vast and varied culture which have same roots. The roots are being cut and it will have its consequences.
