Answers
Explanation:
Three issues dominate the politics of North-East: demands for autonomy, movements for secession, and opposition to ‘outsiders’. Major initiatives on the first issue in the 1970s set the stage for some dramatic
developments on the second and the third in the 1980s.
1. Demands for autonomy: This demand arose in Tripura and Manipur which compromised the state of Assam. This majorly arose when the non assamese political leaders felt that the assamese was forcibly imposed upon them.
2. Secessionist Movement: The mizo hills area in Mizoram never felt that they were under British therefore after independence they did not considered themselves as the part of India. Several campaigns started to be an independent state.
3. Movements against outsiders: This issue has taken place in several states of North east. The Assam movement was such movement against outsiders because they suspected that there were huge numbers of illegal migrants from Bangladesh.
Answer:
The non Assamese began movements when they felt their autonomy was being threatened due to imposition of Assamese language. Therefore, Tripura, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh began a movement for separate national existence. The All Party Hill Leaders Conference demanded that separate states be carved out of Assam in 1960. The Government capitulated to these demands and Meghalaya, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh were created out of Assam. Tripura and Manipur also became States. North east was reorganised by 1972.
