Conflict and Youth Rights in India: Engagement and Identity in the North East

This work examines how conflict has affected the rights of youth in Northeast India.

Examining youth engagement in protracted conflict and its impact on youth rights, the author considers the complex issues besieging the region, including armed insurgency, conflicts between ethnic groups, human rights violations, poor governance and a lack of economic development, all factors contributing to the lack of growth in the region, and a consequent sense of alienation from the Indian mainstream.
