摘要：The landlocked Northeastern region of the India comprises seven separate states named Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura respectively. A compact geographical unit, the Northeast is isolated from the rest of India except through the Chickens-Neck Route (Siliguri Corridor), a slender and vulnerable corridor, flanked by alien territories. Assam is the gateway through which the sister states are connected to the mainland. Nagaland, Meghalaya and Arunachal depend on Assam for their internal communications. Manipur and Mizoram contacts with the mainland India are through Assam Barak Valley. Raw material requirements also make the states mutually dependent. All rivers in Assam plains originate in Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and western Meghalaya. The hills also have rich mineral and forest resources. Petroleum is found in the plains and a huge tourism sector is still untapped. The 7 Sister States also called “Paradise Unexplored”.
