This book looks at India of the 1950s and 60s while it was still
emerging from two centuries of colonial rule and striving to come
together as a nation. It critically explores the history of
nationalism and identity in Northeastern India, a region with
diverse ethnolinguistic communities and people, through the
personal history of the first Manipuri (Meitei) direct recruit in
the Indian Administrative Services. The book weaves in
autobiographical stories with the story of Northeast India,
capturing its politics, socio-cultural distinctiveness and milieus
that set the region apart from the rest of the country. It covers
the career of the author in the IAS, serving in Manipur and
Karnataka, with the Union Government, and finally as Secretary for
the northeastern region. Through these, the book tells the story of
a changing society, of a developing nation and a people on the
move. It shows how borders and barriers were collapsing and being
formed at the same time and how the country was dealing with it.
The book is a unique and significant addition to the literature on
Manipur; it deepens our understanding of the northeastern states
and the complex interactions of the people of the region with the
rest of India. Part of the Transitions in Northeastern India
series, this book will be of great interest to researchers and
scholars of modern history, sociology, social anthropology and
postcolonial studies, particularly those concerned with India and
Northeast India.
