what are the tactics used by British in annexing northeast India?
Answers
Answer:
Throughout the British colonial period, the North East was treated separately and
differently from other regions of British India. In the early colonial period, the
region formed part of Bengal Province and it was governed as though it were an
adjacent subordinate area of Bengal Province even after it became the separate
province of Assam in 1874. Moreover, with the Bengal Eastern Frontier
Regulation of 1873, a Line System was introduced on the pretext of protecting the
minority indigenous ethnic groups in the hill areas of Assam by restricting
outsiders’ entry, business activities, land transactions and settlement. For the same
purpose, in 1935 the hill areas were demarcated and divided into “excluded areas”
and “partially excluded Areas”3
. The former fell under direct British jurisdiction
and the latter were given a limited representative system under British
administrative control. In short, separation and isolation formed the core of
British policy towards the North East.
