This book is a graphic presentation of what it takes for a North-East Indian to live in North-East and Mainland India. Growing up in the 90s in Manipur, there was an ongoing strife and constant skirmishes between the Indian Government and the Insurgencies, disregarding human rights and civil liberties. The violation of human rights and issues are deep-rooted to the colonial import of western education, religion, and lifestyle. Many of the indigenous people were forced to undergo complete annihilation of their culture, and adapting to the sudden western-imported changes gave them cultural shock while adjusting within their home states, and across India. In addition to cultural persecution, the North-East Indians continue to face racial bigotry in mainland India, while living in complete economic and political negligence from the Central Indian Government.
