Northeast India have made tremendous contributions to our country. A lot of vibrant sports stars, entertainers and academicians have emerged from northeast India. However, the sad thing is that despite the service rendered and reputation earned by the peace-loving people of the northeast, we still have to tell people where our state is located, and who we are. Some people from mainland India treat us like Chinese, Koreans or Japanese, making us feel alienated. If they claim our land as part of Indian territory, then why not accept its inhabitants as Indians?

Only proper education can change the society. Our education system should include northeast's culture, history and society in NCERT syllabus, to make India educate on North East.
