In this episode of Vichaar, we examined the political underrepresentation of the North-Eastern tribes, analyzing its historical roots and its contemporary implications. It will focus on political underrepresentation which has resulted in the deprivation of the region's resources and suppressing its cultural identity. The North-Eastern tribes of India have historically faced political underrepresentation, which has resulted in their marginalization and discrimination. Despite being home to diverse cultures and languages, the region has been neglected by the central government, leading to a lack of political representation and infrastructure development. This has resulted in a sense of alienation among the tribes, who have been subjected to discrimination and violence. For this, the Team speaks to Dr. Bikash Sarma, who is an Assistant Professor at the Jindal School of International Affairs.⁠
