Notes

edit
  1. ^ Northeast India is the eastern-most region of India connected to East India via a narrow corridor squeezed between Nepal and Bangladesh. It comprises the contiguous Seven Sister States—Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura—and the Himalayan state of Sikkim. These states are grouped under the MDONER ministry of the Government of India. Except for the Goalpara region of Assam, the rest were late entrants to political India—the Brahmaputra valley of Assam became a part of British India 1824, and the hilly regions even later. Sikkim was recognised as a part of North-East states in the 1990s.
  2. ^ With the object of fulfilling economic, educational and linguistic aspirations, preservation of land rights, socio-cultural and ethnic identity of the respective tribes and speeding up infrastructure development in their areas, autonomous councils have been created. The two districts of Karbi Anglong and North Cachar were granted autonomy as far back as in 1952 under Article 244(2) read with Sixth Scheduled of the Constitution of India. In the same way the Bodol and Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) comprising four plains districts was also granted autonomy in 2003. Autonomous Councils for Mising, Rabha and Tiwa were created in 1995 and for Sonowal, Deori and Thengal were created in 2005. All these 6 Autonomous Councils are not under 6th Schedule of the Constitution, but these were created by legislating statute for the respective tribes in the State Assembly.
