The North East has often been peripheral to the minds of the so-called mainstream of India. The Seven Sister states of the North East have even been seen as a homogeneous whole. Yet even a casual visitor to any of these states will realise that the outstanding natural beauty of the states can barely conceal the repression and rebellion every day. However, Geeti Sen's book does a lot more than talk about the North East as we know it, a troubled part of our country. Instead, she talks of folklore, poetry, yes some politics too, and theatre""through Ratan Thiyam's productions in Manipur. She tries to give as complete a picture as possible in such a book of the North East state of mind.
