Summary: "In the last decade, the migration of indigenous youths from the uplands of Northeast India to metropolitan cities across India has become one of the most significant social and economic transformations of the region. Since India's independence, the region has captured the limits of India's cultural and political imagination, and its citizens and histories have been refracted through the prism of militarization and an extractive resource regime. In this book, we examine the increasing trend of migration among indigenous youths from Northeast India and illustrate how these movements offer us new insights about the insecurities, desires, and expectations among indigenous citizens in global India"-- Provided by publisher.
