When Thangjam Manorama was arrested and killed by the Assam Rifles in July 2004 in Manipur, it unleashed a protest the likes of which no one had witnessed before. In some ways, this was one of the triggers for this collection - to provide a space to women and men from the Northeast to tell us about the issues that confronted them daily, to talk about the pressures, the insecurities, the uncertainties confronting them in an area that has been facing low intensity warfare for decades. It is now many years since that incident but it is an images that has stayed in the mind, transformed into an icon of protest in the popular imagination. The anger and the frustrations of the Manipuri women who staged that dramatic protest have in many ways been vindicated. In fact, each essay in this book brings to mind that troubling image, each contributor points to the Manipuri women, holding them up as a flag of rebellion, of protest. Each essay questions issues of nation, identity, of what makes the people of the Northeast so alienated from the 'mainstream.' Many of the contributors are writers, academics or activists from the Northeast but there are many who are, like the editor, 'outsiders.' This anthology seeks to address the issues and concerns that have emerged as a result of the last three decades (and more) of conflict and violence that has besieged the seven states of India's Northeast. These conflicts have been intense and protracted and have had devastating and long-term effects on local communities. All the articles in this volume are intensely personal responses to what is happening in the Northeast, to the changes and faultlines that are causing enormous rifts in the region. The essays, first person accounts and interviews presents a picture of what it means to live in the 'Northeast'.
