Comprising of eight states, the region, constitutes roughly of around 7.98% of the country’s geographical area and accounts for around 3.79% of the total population. As a linguistic contact zone and a focal point of continuity, the Northeast, has traditionally played the role of a corridor for human migrations including, perhaps, the first migrations from Africa towards East Asia and Australia more than 40,000 years ago. Situated on the southern trails of the Silk Road, the region consists of a fascinating mix of cultures and races that owe their origin to a long history of intercourse with civilizations, originating both from the West and the East. More specifically by virtue of its geographic contiguity and ethnic commonality with the civilizations to its East, Northeast India, continues to serve as an umbilical cord connecting India with her eastern counterparts. INDIA & ASEAN: Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a leading trade bloc of the World which comprises Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
