National Seminar on
"Addressing Conflicts in India's North East"
June 25-27, New Delhi
The seminar was held with
the objectives of exploring new perspectives on the multiplicity of
conflicts in India’s Northeast, and to assess the efficacy of conventional
wisdom and past policies that have been applied to the resolution of
various problems in the region. It brought together serious students
of the subject who wrote on hitherto unexplored themes and provide fresh
insights to the known nuances of terrorist movements in the region,
backed by hard documentary evidence. The participants were primarily
proffessionals based in the North east while two other participants
from other regions of India lent their expertise to the proceedings
of the seminar.
