India's Northeast region (NER) has been framed politically over the years inmyriad ways, often as a frontier for resource extraction, or a frontier withstrategic boundaries. It has also been perceived as the margins of a pan-Indiancivilization, wherein the communities are constructed as the racial 'other'. Thisconstruction has prevailed in even the precolonial discourse of difference whenAssam was ruled by several dynasties and was a not part of the Mughal map.Colonialism accentuated these polarities through its administrative andethnographic discourses. Despite being fairly integrated as a part of BritishIndia, postcolonial northeast India witnessed growing marginalisation from thecentre. Issues of demographic change, resource extraction, governance,sovereignty remained political issues for movements from the region. The region remained as a 'law and order' situation for India. The delegitimization ofvoices from the Northeast has been a long historical process. The movements against CAA and the entanglements of NRC bring back those issues of 'othering'and 'silencing'.
