As someone who has been following the goings on closely in the Northeast, and has been writing about it, what according to you has changed in the past five years?
First, I need to say that the Northeast is not homogenous and I can only speak largely for the area I know, Nagaland. The biggest change that I have noticed is that people have finally found the courage to voice what it is they want for themselves and their families. The cry for peace and reconciliation has never been as urgent or as loud as it has been in the past five years. The most wonderful thing is that it is through youth organisations like The Naga Blog that moves for change are physically taking place in Nagaland.
