Summary This book, the first in a series on the North East, focuses on development-induced. displacement of population in the region during the post-colonial period. Despite. state-sponsored development initiatives, the North East still remains highly underdeveloped. and politically disturbed. Various development projects initiated by the state. led to massive displacement of population within the region, which has virtually. gone unnoticed. The author has made use of extensive empirical data to document. this massive displacement. The Government of India had recently decided to construct 145 mega dam.
