North-East India is so much like Africa.
Just check out these:
1. Rich in natural resource, but poor
human resource
2. Aggressive Tribalism, Tribal Agenda too High for a cosmopolitan mindset
3. Like many tribes in Africa, many hill tribes have taken up Christianity and Western lifestyles, but still xenophobic in mental set-up
4. Christianity has not been able to bring in 'Universal Peace and Brotherhood', it has just expanded the base of Christians which is the objective of the Pope in Vatican city.
5. Highly Racist in social order...fellow countrymen need Inner Line Permits (ILP) in hill states even when they have gone up much higher in all ranks in the national level. Students from NE hill states are moving out to study in Delhi. Students from Delhi will never come to such xenophobic towns where racism rules the roost.
6. Highly consumerist societies, no productivity, not self-reliant in food, clothes or anything else. Still talks about 'seperate lands'.
The list goes on and on.....

There seems to be some respite for Guwahatians as the rainwaters are receding slowly. But the low laying areas of Lachit Nagar, Anil Nagar, Nabin Nagar are still under water and mud.
If Shillong is renowned for the Bob Dylan fest which is presently into its 38th year, Guwahati - the gateway city to the Northeast – may very well be regarded as the new “tribute capital” of the world. Thanks to a few noble souls, musicians and music lovers of the city have actually immortalised a number of legendary musicians from different parts of the globe. However, the buzzword in music circles, of late, is the tribute to the “iron man of metal” Ronnie James Dio on June 11 next.
A pall of gloom seems to have got cast over the entire rock fraternity worldwide ever since news about Dio’s demise passed around. For Ronnie can very well be said to...

The London Bihu Committee (LBC) held their annual Rongali Bihu celebration on Sunday, the 2nd May 2010 in dreadful weather conditions, that were typically British. Still, few people let that stand in their way from attending the event, which surpassed even last year’s grand success. The festival was particularly notable for its success in attracting a new wave of Assamese diaspora as well as the regulars who have been attending for years.
The event remained at the same venue as last year in Hornchurch, East London. The hall is bigger and the facilities superior than any used in recent years. For the second consecutive year, the Committee were delighted that the venue was...
