Further, this book tries to focus on the challenges created by ethnic movements of North-East India before the centre. Another important aspect incorporated in the book is the challenges and quarries of writing tribal history in recent period. The most important part of the book is to figure out some positive and constructive suggestions for the enrichment of the tribes of North- East India.

North East India as we know consists of eight states (Arunachal Pradesh. Assam, Manipur Meghalaya, Aizoram, Nagaland. Tripura, and Sikkim), and it is enclosed by Bangladesh, Bhutan, China (Tibet), and Myanmar A narrow corridor between Bhutan and Bangladesh provides the only overland connection between the North East Region and mainland India.
The population of the North-East consists of the original. indigenous inhabitants consist of various ethnic groups, including people from Tibet, Burma, Thailand and Bengal, who migrated into the region at different periods of history. Although there are migrants of long standing, who have become integrated into the local population over many years, an increasingly large inflow of recent migrants over a short period has caused friction with the local population. During the British colonial period and even after independence, the North-East adjoining China, has been a difficult frontier region.
Since the British colonial period, the North-East has been treated separately and differently from other regions of British India. The history of separation and isolation from the rest of India in the colonial period created a problem for the national formation and integration of independent India. As a result, we can see social-political disturbances, unrest and the emergence of so many separatist movements like Naga Movement, Bodo Movement and so on. Hence, this book tries to discuss such issues which are so crucial concerning to the people of North-East India. The main motive behind this book is to rethink about the ethnic and identity movement of the North-Eastern region.
