  • Abstract:
  • In recent years there has been a considerable growth in Northeast Indian writings which are reflections of self, identity constructions, issues on family and society the region was mute for a long time but not anymore with the emergence of determined and enthusiastic pens from the region, who have resorted to literature: fiction, historical and political, as one of the modes of articulation to voice themselves. The emerging authors with their individualistic narrative styles have articulated their unique cultural experiences, representing the ethos of the region, its legends, myths, stories, presenting the pictures of sense of betrayal, alienation and marginalised space and its conflicting history and moribund politics. Narratives of the Northeast are not merely forms of entertainment but a medium for commenting on contemporary social and political events, constructing the actual self, and providing an account of true-life situations.
