You shall not covet your neighbor’s house;
you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife,
or his manservant,
or his maidservant
or his ox, or his ass,
or anything that is your neighbor’s
Exodus 20:17 (RSV)

Northeast leads in terror casualties but Central eyes on J&K
India- composed of thousands of tribes is experiencing different types of national or regional movements. Among them, some of the notable movement by an insurgent group is Jamu and Kashmir. While the Central government pay a maximum attention in the hill state of J&K, casualties due to insurgency is maximum in the opposite site i.e. the North East of India. As reported by IANS.
India's restive northeastern region saw the maximum number of fatalities in terror strikes in 2008, surpassing Jammu and Kashmir in the latest figures released by an independent security think tank.
The northeast, particularly Assam and Manipur, has turned into a veritable killing field with the region accounting for 1,057 deaths compared to 539 casualties in Kashmir in the past year.
According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP), a New Delhi-based security analysis agency, Assam reported 372 fatalities while the death toll in Manipur was 500, second only to Kashmir, which recorded 539 deaths.
The SATP figures show that the total number of deaths in the northeast has increased from 640 in 2006 to 1,057 in 2008.
And most of the casualties in the northeastern states like Assam, Manipur, and Tripura were in towns and cities with urban terrorism rearing its ugly head in a new trend.
Manipur, the state where I hail from produce(s) almost fifty insurgent groups. SATP listed the following insugent groups from Manipur.

There are several more insurgent groups in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh.
So, what is the value of North East India states and Jamu and Kashmir in India's security? I am in the opinion that, if the Government of India pay equal attention in the NE Indian states as that of Jammu and Kashmir, there would be no insurgent or there would be atleast some outcome in the NE region.
