Is NORTH EAST Becoming The Next KASHMIR? w/ Rami Niranjan Desai | TAMS 196

Описание: In this episode of The Awaara Musaafir Show, host Jayesh Gangan sits with Rami Niranjan Desai, a political anthropologist and expert on India's North East region, for a deep and eye-opening conversation about one of the most misunderstood regions in the country. From identity to integration, this episode unpacks the historical, political, and civilizational fault lines that continue to shape the Northeast's complex realities.

Rami starts by challenging the mainstream view of the North East as a single, unified bloc, explaining the cultural, ethnic, and linguistic uniqueness of each state. She emphasizes how both geographical and psychological distance has kept the region isolated from India's national imagination and how colonial narratives have distorted our understanding of the region’s people.

The conversation dives into the British colonial use of anthropology and missionary influence to define tribal communities as “primitive” and “pagan.” Rami explains how these frameworks justified segregation and religious conversions, laying the foundation for identity fragmentation and separatist movements post-Independence.

One of the most powerful parts of the episode is Rami’s explanation of how the Naga identity was constructed by combining diverse tribes under one religious and linguistic umbrella to push for a separate Christian state. She also critiques Nehru-era policies that promoted tribal isolation under the influence of Verrier Elwin, a British missionary-adviser.

Ultimately, the episode is a call to reimagine how we view the Northeast, not as a remote frontier, but as an integral part of India’s civilizational fabric. Rami urges a two-way integration where both the rest of India understands the North East better, and vice versa grounded in shared history, respect, and cultural exchange.
