History
During the colonial era, British officials conceptualised of an "India proper" which was perceived as totally distinct from present-day Northeast India due primarily to racial differences.[9]
Contemporary
Mainland India has been noted for having neglected Northeast India to a significant extent due to the Northeast's distinctness,[10] with the Northeast having become somewhat alienated as a result,[6][11] and ending up trending towards East Asian cultural influences as a result.[12]
