  • Description: This paper reviews the development indicators in the North-Eastern States of India and tries to shed light on the causation which has led to the association between high incidence of terrorist activity and the low level of affluence in this region. It concludes that poor infrastructure might be a cause for both outcomes. An imbalance is also created by the high level of literacy which facilitates the creation of discontented politically motivated terrorist groups as a reaction to the mentioned outcomes
