North-East continues

The Problem with we Indians is we never try to go deep into the problems and just make some random conclusions.One word of North-East and the immediate image of terrorists,bomb blasts etc comes up,nobody cares to think about the root cause of this trouble.Why did so many militant groups come up in North East?...why not in UP,TN AP etc?
The answer,is easy---Ignorance and tedhi thinking by those in the centre of power.
When these areas came under India's control,the erstwhile kings and people were assured that their interests will be taken care of,that these areas will not be ignored and they will be integrated with the Indian society.But unfortunately that didn't happen.These areas came under Central Govt and states like Manipur were ruled by a Chief Secretary whose only aim after coming to these places was to amass wealth.
With no support from the Central Govt and conditions deteriorating the people didn't have any other choice than to revolt.
You may say,why did they revolt by taking weapons,well the bitter truth is that the Indian state never turns it's attention to problems unless some blood is shed.Now the demand of these militant groups has become that they want to separate from India,obviously they are being supported by other countries in this regard,but again India itself is to blame for it.We are the ones responsible if they say that Tumhare India ne humein kya diya hai? ..and funnily some ppl if come to India to work,they say ki India jaa rahe hain,I mean yeah they are at fault in saying this,ek to tum yahaan ka khana khate ho,fir ussi ke against bolte ho?....but what i want to underline is If we had integrated these areas earlier into our country,such things wouldn't have happened.
these groups have their own uniforms with ranks like Captain etc. all the Army Units know the position of their camps,i mean if you expect that in this age of high technology we can't find such camps in a small region like North East,then that's foolishness.The main reason is lack of Political conviction.today on the face all the politicians want insurgency to end,Undergrounds(North East militants) to come on negotiation table etc. but do they really want it??...of course not. If Insurgency ends what topic will be there to divert people's attention from other maladies like Unemployment,lack of economic development?
today when these militant groups demand that they want to separate from India,I don't understand what they will do if they get these areas.they can't survive with help of Myanmar,wo khud ko sambhale yaan inko dekhe,and if they expect China,then probably they are biggest fools,obviously without India they can't survive....
so even if we start today.By providing economic opportunities to these areas,in terms of Tourism and industries I don't think that militancy can last,because after all, it thrives only under partial support from the side of the people,and when people are happy why will anyone act in a militant way.
The above expressed views are more in the context of Manipur,also after reading you may think that I am a total anti India banda etc.No,Its notI love my motherland,jeeonga bhi issi mitti par aur maroonga bhi yahin, I just hate the stupid Politicians of this country.
