1. Since many people have still not heard of states such as Arunachal and Nagaland and Mizoram, you can continue to use the word “North East” or “India’s North East.”
2. Always begin by describing how beautiful this region is.
3. If someone from the region points out during your visit that the problems in India’s North East are mainly between the indigenous population and non-indigenous; and that the Centre’s decades-old apathy that pits one community against the other, nod your head and ignore it.
4. Keep your task easy and ensure that no tribal voices are included when you write about North East, where mostly tribals live.
5. If you are an editor, there is no need to ask a Bodo writer, a Khasi writer, an Apatani professor, a Serdukpen novelist, a Meitei school-teacher, a tribal Assamese, a Kokborok speaking activist, a journalist of Bengali origin who writes only in Assamese, an Ao Naga or Angami Naga columnist to write about the problems in the North East.
