Demand for separate states vs failure of governance in Northeast

Some of you, especially those familiar with all things Northeast, may now be familiar with the term ‘Frontier Nagaland’. For those who read EastMojo, of course, this term needs no introduction. And the same can be said about Greater Tipraland. At least at EastMojo, this topic has been mentioned with alarming regularity, such is its appeal among the Tripura residents, especially the indigenous people. 

As for Garoland, even I will admit, I have not heard the demand make headlines as much as the other two. Mind you, how much we know about these demands does not matter because in truth, these demands, despite what some may promise, may never materialise.
