The Hidden History of India's 'Seven Sisters' | Full Story of India's Most Sensitive Region

#NortheastIndia #SevenSisters #IndianHistory #Geopolitics #UntoldStory

Welcome to Inqalaab International's deep dive into Northeast India, the Seven Sisters, a region with a distinct identity kept hidden from the world. We uncover the full story of their complex accession of princely states (like Manipur and Tripura) in 1947 and the rise of persistent autonomy movements and regional unrest, including the Naga Autonomy Movement and the creation of ULFA in Assam.

This documentary details the struggle for identity fueled by shifting demographics and the controversial application of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) across these sensitive borderlands.

Beyond the internal conflict, we expose the massive national security challenge facing India at the Siliguri Corridor, nicknamed the 'Chicken's Neck.' . We analyze how this strategic chokepoint and the increasing geopolitical rivalry with China (particularly over Arunachal Pradesh), combined with political shifts in neighboring Bangladesh, threaten to cut off the Northeast.
