Northeast India is the eastern-most region of India. It is connected to East India via a narrow corridor squeezed between independent nations of Bhutan and Bangladesh. It comprises the contiguous Seven Sister States (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura), and the Himalayan state of Sikkim. Except for the Goalpara region of Assam, the rest did not become part of political India until the 19th century and later. The Brahmaputra valley area of Assam became a part of British India in 1824, with the hill regions annexed later. Sikkim was annexed to the Indian union through a referendum in 1975; it was recognized as part of Northeast India in the 1990s.

  • Northeast India is the eastern-most region of India. It is connected to East India via a narrow corridor squeezed between independent nations of Bhutan and Bangladesh. It comprises the contiguous Seven Sister States (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura), and the Himalayan state of Sikkim. Except for the Goalpara region of Assam, the rest did not become part of political India until the 19th century and later. The Brahmaputra valley area of Assam became a part of British India in 1824, with the hill regions annexed later. Sikkim was annexed to the Indian union through a referendum in 1975; it was recognized as part of Northeast India in the 1990s. Northeast India is generally considered one of the most challenging regions of the country to govern. It has been the site of separatist movements among the tribal peoples, who speak languages related to Burmese. Northeast India constitutes about 8% of India's size; roughly three quarters the size of the state of Maharashtra. Its population is approximately 40 million (2011 census), 3.1% of the total Indian population; roughly equal to that of Odisha. The Siliguri Corridor in West Bengal, with a width of 21 to 40 kilometres (13 to 25 mi), connects the North Eastern region with the main part of India. The region shares more than 4,500 kilometres (2,800 mi) of international border (about 90 per cent of its entire border area) with China (southern Tibet) in the north, Myanmar in the east, Bangladesh in the southwest, and Bhutan to the northwest. The states are officially recognised under the North Eastern Council (NEC), constituted in 1971 as the acting agency for the development of the eight states. The North Eastern Development Finance Corporation Ltd (NEDFi) was incorporated on 9 August 1995 and the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) was set up in September 2001. (en)
  • Als Nordostindien oder Sieben Schwesterstaaten wird der nordöstliche Teil Indiens bezeichnet, der die sieben Bundesstaaten Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura und Meghalaya umfasst. Häufig werden auch Sikkim und der Norden Westbengalens zu Nordostindien gezählt. Während der britischen Kolonialzeit gehörte das Gebiet der sieben heutigen Bundesstaaten Nordostindiens zur Provinz Assam. Nach der Unabhängigkeit 1947 geriet Nordostindien in eine isolierte Lage, als das Gebiet Britisch-Indiens in die Staaten Indien und Pakistan geteilt wurde. Das zwischen Assam und dem Rest Indiens gelegene Ostbengalen kam dabei zu Pakistan und machte sich 1971 als Bangladesch unabhängig. Daher ist Nordostindien heute nur über einen schmalen Korridor mit dem Rest Indiens verbunden. Außer an Bangladesch im Südwesten grenzt das Gebiet an Myanmar im Osten sowie an China und Bhutan im Norden. (de)
  • Le Nord-Est indien est une zone géographique de la République indienne formant une communauté politique et économique de huit états au nord-est de celle-ci. Il regroupe le Sikkim, l'Arunachal Pradesh, l'Assam, Manipur, le Meghalaya, Mizoram, le Nagaland et Tripura. Cette zone est linguistiquement et culturellement très différente de ce que l'on rencontre dans le reste de l'Inde. Un grand nombre d'habitants de ces états parlent des langues tibéto-birmanes et ont une culture proche de celle des autres pays d'Asie du Sud-Est et du Tibet. Cette similitude est encore plus forte chez les Seven Sister States (littéralement depuis l'anglais les « sept États sœurs »), c'est-à-dire les États du nord-est indien hors le Sikkim, qui n'a été pleinement intégré dans la sphère politique indienne que depuis 1947. Ces états n'ont que 21 km de frontière commune avec le reste de l'Inde au niveau du corridor de Siliguri. Depuis 1947, les rébellions séparatistes et les violences intercommunautaires dans les états du nord-est du pays ont provoqué la mort de quelque 50 000 personnes. Le conseil du Nord-Est (en anglais North East Council ou NEC) a été créé en 1971 en ayant pour objectif le développement économique et social des huit États. La création du North Eastern Development Finance Corporation Ltd. (NEDFi) a suivi en 1995, tandis que le Ministry of Development of Northeastern Region (DONNER) a été créé en septembre 2001. (fr)
  • L'India nordorientale è la parte situata più ad oriente dell'India. È collegata al resto del paese tramite uno stretto corridoio compreso fra gli stati del Bhutan e del Bangladesh chiamato corridoio di Siliguri. Comprende gli stati indiani di Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland e Tripura (chiamati Seven Sister States), lo stato himalayano del Sikkim, e la divisione di Jalpaiguri. Fatta eccezione per la regione di Goalpara nell'Assam, i resto del territorio è entrato a far parte dell'India solo a partire dal XIX secolo. La regione della valle di Brahmaputra è divenuta parte dell'Impero anglo-indiano nel 1824. Il Sikkim è stato annesso all'India nel 1975 in seguito ad un referendum ed è stato riconosciuto come parte dell'India nordorientale negli anni Novanta. L'area è generalmente considerata una delle regioni dell'India più difficili da governare a causa dei numerosi movimenti separatisti tra la popolazione locale che parla lingue tibeto-birmane. (it)
  • Noordoost-India is een regio in het noordoosten van India, bestaande uit de zeven deelstaten Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland en Tripura. Deze staten worden wel colloquiaal de "Seven Sisters" genoemd (Engels voor: "zeven zusters", de term is in 1972 bedacht door een journalist uit Tripura). De regio heeft een bevolking van 38,3 miljoen inwoners (2001), zo'n vier procent van de totale Indiase bevolking. Sinds de deling van India in 1947, waarbij Oost-Bengalen aan Pakistan toekwam, is de regio slechts door de nauwe Corridor van Siliguri met de rest van India verbonden. Vanwege dit relatieve isolement, dat versterkt wordt door de slechte infrastructurele verbindingen en de afwijkende etnische samenstelling en cultuur van de bevolking staat Noordoost-India relatief ver van het Indiase bewustzijn.

  • Designa-se como Índia do Nordeste a região norte-oriental da Índia contendo os chamados Sete Estados Irmãos (estados de Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, e Tripura), o estado de Sikkim e ainda partes de Bengala do Norte (distritos de Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri e Koch Bihar). A Índia do Nordeste é etnicamente diferenciada do resto da Índia, e tem fortes laços étnicos e culturais com a Ásia Oriental e o Sudeste Asiático, com fortes culturas que não foram abrangidas pela sanscritização como os Kuki e outras tribos. Do ponto de vista linguístico a região tem uma predominância de línguas da matriz tibetano-birmanesa. É oficialmente reconhecida aos oito estados uma categoria especial no território indiano. Foi formado o chamado North Eastern Council (NEC) em 1971 como agência formal para o desenvolvimento económico e social da região. É uma zona onde os vários problemas político-étnicos são de difícil solução, e a integração política com o resto da União Indiana tem sofrido durante décadas de problemas de revoltas, tendo levado a múltiplas ações militares e policiais. Comparada com o resto da Índia, a população é escassa, somando 3,8% do total do país. Em 2011 contavam-se cerca de 39 milhões de habitantes. Entre os estados da região, Sikkim tornou-se protetorado indiano em 1947 e estado em 1975. O Corredor de Siliguri em Bengala Ocidental, com uma largura média de 21 km a 40 km, liga a região nordeste ao resto da Índia. Mais de 2000 km de fronteiras são partilhados com outros países: Nepal, China, Butão, Mianmar e Bangladesh. A Índia do Nordeste tem um clima predominantemente húmido subtropical. Os verões são quentes e húmidos, com monções fortes e invernos suaves. Há ainda florestas tropicais. Os estados de Arunachal Pradesh e Sikkim têm clima alpino com inversos muito frios com fortes nevões e verões suaves. (pt)
