exiled within: fractured memories, a note on crisis of confidence and emigration from north-eastern youth

exiled within: fractured memories, a note on crisis of confidence and emigration from north-eastern youth: Imagine the feeling of the person who may have lived and grown with a community for years and suddenly is made to feel alien. Today, thousands of people from northeast have been made to feel stranger in their own country. The dynamics of immigration from Bangladesh causing tensions in the northeast is being exploited by the powers that be in the rest of the country. The scars of emigration of a large number of people made to flee J&K have still not healed. In various communal tensions, those who become internal refugees realize the pain of feeling excluded. Whatever be the socio-economic cost of such involuntary movement of the people, the psychological and institutional costs are far bigger and persist far longer. Even today, people affected by the partition have not forgotten the pain on both sides of the border. How many times should people in our country continue to feel anxious and alien in their own land?
