"and this was exacerbated by the FACT that the central government ignored the N-E for a long, loong time, causing them to think they WERE different."

Oh now its the fault of Delhi that they "alienated" the NE eh? You sound so much like the Pakis talking about Kashmir.

You dont condemn the Christian terrorist activities backed by the Church and killings of innocent Hindus in NE and you hold Delhi responsilble for what is going there. Thats rich!

Read a little bit -- you have/had Hindu and Buddhist groups fighitng against India -- remember the Bodos? And "alienation" in the case of Kashmir (which is so close to Delhi) is silly, but you can't deny that the NE was ignored economically by Delhi until the 90s. Now that the economy has picked up there and satellite TV is awailable and Hindi movies are available, the alienation is dying away. Face facts -- NE Indians look different from Indians from other parts of India, they could be mistaken for Orientals. Not so Kashmiris who could pass for Punjabis or other NOrth Indians.

I also pointed out the alienation felt by the Tamils in the 60s. You can't deny that. But that has been licked slowly by Tamil Nadu's growing economic and social integration with the rest of India.

Oh, I DO condemn the terrorist activities of the guerilla groups in the NE -- whether they be Christian or Hidnu or other. But I don't consider it "Christian" terrorism because I don't see the Catholic Church issuing charities to send guns to those rebels -- do you? If those idiots are targetting people just because they are Hindus, then I condemn them.

Show me something, ANYTHING stating proof that the Catholic Church backs any sort of Christian terrorist activities please. Either that, or drop the slander.
