Top intelligence sources say that the northeastern region is the gateway to Southeast Asia for its neighbors involved in conspiring against India. The northeastern region is one of the country’s richest resource regions, boasting 1.1 billion tons of coal reserves. Assam and Meghalaya are particularly rich.

Why this move?

Intelligence sources say that such a controversial map is a cheap way to rekindle separatist sentiments.
