It is this that forces people from North East to migrate enmasse to Indian cities, where also in turn they are racially discriminated or as the cases of Nido, Taniam, Richard Loitam and many others have shown even kjlled. Notwithstanding its 'integrationist' posturing, the Indian state has never considered the regions to its North East nothing more than avenues for surplus extraction through brute force ' and coercion.

liberation is also being waged by the people of Manipur, despite·severe state repression as exemplified by the brutal rape and murder of Thangjam Manorama by the Indian army in 2004 or the murder in broad daylight of Chongkham Sanjit in 2009. Even on occasions when the people of various oppressed nationalities have declared their popular will to form free and independent countries of their own, the Indian ruling classes have never respected their democratic decision. For instance, in May 1951 the Nagas conducted a referendum to decide the political future of their nation in which 99o/o of the Nagas voted in favour of forrming an independent and sovereign Nagaland. This refusal by the Indian state to recognise their democratic aspirations and its use of coercive power to keep the Nagas occupied led to the armed Uberation movement led by the Naga National Council from 1952. From 1975, National ::-;;· Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) has spearheaded the Naga self-determination movement through armed .

struggle against the Indian occupation forces. Even the subsequent ceasefire agreement and the mutually-agreed guidelines of the talks have qeen regularly flouted by the Indian government. The collective leadership of the Nagas are being kept virtually under house-arrest and even imprisoned on frivolous charges, as in the case· of Anthony Shimrey, the head of foreign affairs of the NSCN. Much like in Kashmir, the Indian state has also profiled and criminatised all these movements for national self-determination as 'terrorist', 'anti-national' and what not Borrowing the policy of divide and rule from its colonial masters, it has also resorted to engineering several conflicts amongst .
the different communities, lest they identify the common enemy which is none other than the Indian state that exploits all these communities and repress them.alike with escalated military strength. Indian Union is a colonial formation, a prison~house of nationalities established through the use of brute force and intimidation. If the two hundred years of colonial rule marks the forcible integration of many independent nationalities like the Assamese to the Indian unien, 1947 marks the territorial division of many other nationalities. The continued Indian occupation of Kashmir, Nagalim, Manipur-and Assam, or its war on the people of central and eastern India under 'Operation Green Hunt' shows that the army is the cornerstone of political power of this state and no principles of democracy or popular will find any place in it. This national oppression is maintained by the Indian ruling classes for continuing the semi-feudal semi-colonial system of extraction and exploitation of peoples' resources: Today, it is not simply the question of mere 'human rights' in the region as it is often reduced to be. More than that, it is the violation and denial of the collective political right of the people to decide their collective destiny And it is to perpetuate and ideologically justify this exploitative state of affairs,.

The violence against people of North East has not escalated suddenly. Just that, the corporate media has been .
forced to take cognizance of these regular instances of violence recently, due to the assertion of people. But this deeply entrenched problem of racism cannot be fought unless t11e progressive and democratic voices speak up against how it has be.en deeply institutionalised and validated through the subjug"ation of these various oppressed nationalites.
