Bodoland And The Separatist Movements Of Northeast India

Posted on December 12, 2011 by Justin • 6 Comments

I knew there were a number of separatist movements in India before we arrived.

Following our descent from the Himalayas on the road to Tawang, we ventured into the tribal areas of central Arunachal Pradesh. This area is not listed on permits and we weren’t supposed to be here, but as I always say – It’s good to know people… Before setting off into the jungle, we spent the … Continue reading →
