    A few mistakes in the video:
    1. The Radcliffe Line actually refers only to the line that partitioned Bengal and Punjab provinces, not the whole India-Pakistan border. Also, Indian Punjab consisted of present day states of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh states at the time as well. So the Radcliffe Line does not cover the border between India and Pakistan south or north of Punjab, like the border between Sind province (ceded to Pakistan, today Sindh) and the Bombay Presidency (today Gujarat in that area) and the Rajputana Kings (today Rajasthan).
    The Rajputana Agency for example is a collection of a few dozen kingdoms that functioned as Princely states under the British Raj, and each individual King had the option to join India or Pakistan after the British left. Since the Radcliffe line only covered Punjab and not the Rajputana Agency, Pakistan had infact tried to make deals with the Rajput Kings to cede to Pakistan, and even almost managed to get the kings of Udaipur and Bhopal (part of the Central India Agency, CIA Kingdoms) to join them before India intervened. It didnt matter that these were Hindu kings ruling a Hindu majority kingdom, they could still join Pakistan if they wanted. Read about the discussion between the King of Udaipur and Pakistan for more interesting info here. In the same logic, Jammu and Kashmir also was not part of the Radcliffe line, and both sides were free to discuss and make deals with the King, as at the end of the day, the King was the rightful sovereign of the land who could decide the future of his kingdom.
    2. The Ahom Kingdom did not outlast the Sikh Empire in Punjab (2nd Anglo Sikh War) or the Gurkha Empire in Nepal, but your map showed like all of India under the British before Assam lol.
    3. The real reason for the thin corridor is not because India somehow acquired far away land, but that East Bengal was partitioned out of India as part of Pakistan, and hence that created the weird shape of India in the east that remained. Also, Assam was also partitioned, the only province other than Bengal and Punjab, and the Sylhet district became part of Pakistan (today Bangladesh). Other than these 3 provinces, the remaining 9 provinces were given either entirely to India or to Pakistan.
    Also, other than the roads and railway through the Siliguri corridor, there are now roads and planned railways that will connect West Bengal to Tripura through Bangladesh, as well as the waterways of Bangladesh being open to Indian ships now that can enter Assam and Tripura through the rivers.

      This was actually deliberate, as Britishers expected Pakistan to attack over Chicken's Neck. Actually Chattogram should have been a part of India, because of 96% non-Muslim population, but still Chattogram was made a part of Pakistan, so as to keep NE without any coast, as through coast India could have protected NE in case of any attack over Chicken's Neck.

      Not denying the persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh including Sylhet. But it's ridiculous to call Sylhet Hindu-free when Sylhet division (13.50% Hindus) is still the division with the highest Hindu percentage in Bangladesh (National average 7.95% Hindu population).

One being the hordes of immigration to the small northeast states by Bangladeshis over Bengal partision, Myanmar refugees from the myanmar conflict. The demographic changes is a huge crises here, second, lack of parliament representation and overall negligence by Indian government. Third, each states having their own conflicts within and insurgency, which was borne out of various reasons, annexation of independent princely states by Indian union after colonial independence. My dtate Manipur had its darkest periods of annexation and being humiliated by Indian union since 1949. We truly never belong to India and have shared sentiments with other northeast states too, that we should have freedom from India as a whole

Also, both railway and road connection to the North east have significantly increased in recent times, due to the doublification and electrification of railways and widening, making of new highways, building tunnels and bridges throughout the North east. Also, while most of North east is still pretty green, the capital cities are pretty much urban places, Guwahati, the capital of Assam being one of the larger cities in India. Also, while the Siliguri corridor is not considered the part of North east being part of West bengal, geographically, demographics wise and culturally the 4 districts of West bengal have more similarities with the North east than the rest of west bengal or rest of India.

    What actually surpises more is that after 1971 victory India could have negotiated with Mujib for widening of Siliguri corridor ( in exchange for some lands ) as well as the Return of POK.
    My Opinion , 1971 was a grand wasted Potential and Final chance for India to regain what it lost before. All because of the shortsightedness on top.

They’re not even mentioned in Indian national anthem because they’re too weak and dominated by Indian. I hope someday that part will split up and became an independent nation.

Also those are not even totally different languages because they are all belong to Asia as long as they share the common vocabulary and many of other similar features in genes, appearance, culture, etc… while the Indians speak Indo - Iranian which have affected the native culture of Northeast India.
