Look North East: One Region, Diverse Shades
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- NEW DELHI: They’re popularly referred to as ‘the seven sisters’- seven contiguous states that lie to the east of the Siliguri Corridor. But the region is equally diverse when it comes to terrain, biodiversity, culture, language and history. Many of these aspects remain largely unknown to the rest of India. In the first of a two-part series on ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale talks about how these states were created/reorganised and how they have been dealt with by successive central governments.

There are some serious allegations on u that ur helpings govt to control digital media outlets please respond so i get an idea what u think
You should also talk about the Bangladesh war and its impact on North East... how Indira's opening of the borders flooded the NE with Bangladeshis and made the Assamese people a minority in their own land...
Love the north east..haven't been there since 1978 ....but surely waiting to go back for a few weeks
Leaving the NE people on their own not only alienated many of these ppl from India but also their own native culture and this vacuum was exploited by church and alienated them more.
It is not that we are alienated from the rest of India by - a policy of the government ! But rather the lack of knowledge by ordinary indian of their own countrymen. Like seriously - Are you from Chinese ?
As far as culture is concerned - culture and religion are not the same. The church is a stabilizing force in that sense.
The church does not alienate culture in that sense . For eg . Luira phanit ( is a cultural festival - harvest festival *) which is promoted by church bodies. So the church actually helps preserve culture.
Christianity is not Islam that you forget your culture ! How you live on earth is up to you . How your relation with God is personal to you .
@@plendafuture7451 Do you know what these two top most active insurgency Mizo and Naga has in common? And what is the slogan for the NSCN? some Naga tribe in Arunachal are Hindu and they are not involved in insurgency but their Abhramic counterparts are and many native religion followers too face similar things. Church didn't stop the ethnic cleansing but Indian state did. And I can guarantee you most of native festivals, folks and Dieties won't survive next two generations. Remembering the native roots and folks are necessary to save a community from sliding into isolation.
Obviously many people don't know about NE and can get confused AND such things can happen with many other people not just from NE and part of what NEn face is purely due to racism but that part is very small.
@@Dhirajkumar-ls1ws so what ? It's ever changing.
It's been 4 generations since Christianity came . Our culture has not gone. Rather Christianity help promoted our culture.
What do you know of nagas ? They hunt head ! It is Christianity that allow them to have a common ground and bring the people together . What makes you thing you get to see the hornbill festival a 100 years ago ?
You are equating Christianity with insurgency. Say Mizo signed the peace accord in 86 has guaranteed peace , why ? Because it's a political issue.
You have an issue with christianity . Don't let that blind you . ULFA , Naxals are Christian ? What of Khalistani ?
Use your logical reasoning . You can come and see the culture in northeast ! And then speak about it . Hinduism actually negatively impacted culture in the northeast . It brought the caste system in the plains which brought a concept of ucch - neech ! Is that our culture ? No !
And what do you mean by culture - it's what you eat , how you dress ,how you behave , how you talk in a socially acceptable manner ( different for different tribe ) . You say culture as if it's constant when it's ever changing. You use your mobile - to text - isn't that a new culture that you added on to your life . Hasn't your culture or way of life changed in the past 10 years.
Anyone who actually prevents change is not helping the cause of culture. Ironically , To preserve culture is doing it a disservice in reality.
Coming back to hornbill festival. To preserve culture would basically mean not letting anyone come and see it , not letting any interaction because it would pollute ! Today hornbill festival attracts tourists all over the world. It uses all the latest tech , logistics which comes with modern technology ( was this naga culture ) .
Don't get me wrong - you have a very narrow view of culture . It's much broader than that. You might work in a Pucca house today ! Was that indian culture say - 200 years ago .
@Metallus Zorax are you educated ?
This is my country ! Why should the opinions of people in the streets bother you. Read the constitution !
Acceptance - do you want acceptance ? I Don't give a fuck about that ! I am an Indian and the opinions of people on my looks will not change that . - we have siddis ( people of African descent ) Punjabis and Kashmiri ( of caucasoid descent ) come to south india ( Dravidian ) jharkhand , chattisgarh ( tribal belt of people - mostly of negritoid descent ) Himachal , uttarakhand ladakh , Sikkim ( also has people of Mongoloid racial descent ) . Do they need my approval or your approval to be Indian ?
If no , stop giving power to other people over your life.
@@plendafuture7451 ❤️❤️❤️ I am from Himachal I dont look like Normal Indian but this is my India and I will die for my country
Thanks Nitin for the geo politic updates,looking forward to ep 2👍🏼
Learnt a lot. Waiting for next episode
Very informative
These kind of inputs are very necessary for all of us to understand the North East. Awaiting the second part
Do you think (pl research if possible) that during boundary commission discussions our negotiators committed a blunder by accepting vulnerable and narrow Siliguri corridor and secondly (more importantly) not insisting to retain Chittagong as all weather sea connectivity to North East.
Thank you sir for this video again .
I was lucky enough to have NE friends and they are fantastic , had priveleage to live among them ,stay with them and see their culture.
But I didn't know the history so deep .
Now it may occur UPSC may have 1 or 2 questions from this.
Sir please explain more about NE role during WW2 when japan invaded china .
Once again sir thank you for your efforts and deep research on NE and Sharing with us.
North Eastern people are more India than most of the Indians
Nitin Sir as per wikipedia Bogibeel bridge was one demand in the Assam Accord in 1985 and finally was open for public in Dec 2018, so are there any such project in NE region suffering the similar fate or Bogibeel was the exception? And while rolling down future video kindly make a analysis on the topic 'what ails india's logistic sector?
Sir talk more about ulfa in early days. Also the secret killing
Bhartiya Govt. Should take concrete steps to bring NE into the mainstream Narrative of #Akhand Bharat
Watch WION
India is changing that's fr sure
Nitin, if you ever visit Eastern Arunachal, I would be elated to show you around ! Absolutely FREE !👍
Technically Chittagong division belongs to India, more specifically to Tripura, but sadly somehow it's become a part of Bangladesh :(
Tripura belonged to Bangladesh, 😀
@@mumtazkhan9042 And Bangladesh belongs to the India.
Leaving NE away from rest of India and giving free hand to missionary conversion mafia... Is wat jn and inc followed...
Wonderful presentation sir, love and best wishes !!
Nitinji,
In next episode if you could please cover existing fault lines.
Why community identity is supreme till date??
Why and how indigenous ancient religious practices of few communities made way for Christianity. What are pros/cons?
Is it humanly possible/practicable to return people whose names do not figure in the NRC. Is demographic inversion a real threat in Assam??
Your shows are amazing Nitin. Kudos to you
❤️
Good to see you #Nittin-ji
I love the way of present your message and tell a story sir
nice to see change in camera quality Nitin ji
In the past Japan has been reticent to accept the Quad as a regional military alliance. Not so sure that they lately Changed their stance on this (?). Why not ask their think tanks versus maybe speculate.
NE is very critical from India's national security point of view !
Very Informative, Thank you Sir!
Now soon we will be reaching there with highways & trains.
Very informative and analytical reporting as always enrich my knowledge. Thanks and grateful to you Nitinji.🙏❤from Kolkata 🇮🇳.
Super stories of NE.
Fantastic Nitin ji. I wish the show went on and on :) Finally, happy to see you really bringing our most beautiful part of our country mainstream. However, 15mins is too small and should be minimum 30 mins :)
I have travelled extensively to NE of India, lovee the people, varied cultures, unending beauty. Thanks for covering this.
thanks
Are you the White,Green and Black journalist? Is that what they taught you in journalism school? Also you conveniently forgot merger of Sikkim... you BJP poodle..
Mera Bharath Mahaan.
Nitin sir, pls make a video on india building a naval and air base on agalega island maritius.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Wow i think ur good journalist but u help government to suppressed digital media
Nitin g can't able to see your videos in my recommended video.. someone has meddle with your channel or youtube algorithm
Rajiv Gandhi had a wife which was foreigner😂😂 roasted!
cultural exchange is necessary to know people better as it act as a soft power, North know about south through its food and religion connection without even speaking common language similarly now people know about something about NE is due to its cuisines like momos has become popular in Metro cities even than NE is still a mystery for most.
Momos are Bhutanese /Tibetan cuisine, not really North East. Vegetarian Indians need to respect non- vegetarian cuisines of India, like in the North East, where pork & beef are widely consumed. For e.g. Gujarat is not Nagaland and what Gujarat eats should not be imposed on Nagas, living either in Nagaland or any other Indian state. Food hegemony by vegetarian Indians is harmful to India's unity.
@@MaTara01 I know momos are of tibbetan origin but it has been popularized by NE peoples. Tibbetan cultutre is not just present in geographical boundaries of tibet but also in Arunachal and sikkim. Point is that soft power of food and folk/music is the greatest connector of different peoples, even chai and khichdi are not Indian they are of chinese and nepali/tibetean origin respectively but it connect a lot of Indians together. Other thing I would like to mention that it is not only just pork or beef(Maiythun) that NE people consume all the time a lot of diversity of food is present. If chai from China can connect darjeeling&assam to kerala and a nepali/tibettan kichdi can connect UP & Rajasthan so can a tibettan veg momos and noodle(thukpa) can connect Gujarat to NE.
@@Dhirajkumar-ls1ws Are you willing to eat pork or beef (which is their food to serve to their honoured guests & gods, often a form of prasad) in a NE Indian's home to show your solidarity & respect for them?
@@MaTara01 OK I got that, you are just an illiterate buffoon that can't afford to use his brain.
@@Dhirajkumar-ls1ws You are a bigoted, vegetarian Hindu who just proved that he has no respect for non- vegetarian Hindus. If I am willing to come and eat vegetarian food that I detest at your festive occasions, such as weddings & religious festivals, you should be willing to eat non- vegetarian food at important functions in my home. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!
