	Christianity in India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The total number of Christians in India according to the 1991 census was 19.6 million (1.96 crores), or 2.3 percent of the population.

	Re: [Assam] A new politics of race: India and its Northeast
		Northeast India's fractured relation with the mainland has been described as a cultural gap, an economic gap, a psychological gap and an emotional gap.
		Contrary to the charge that the Northeast is "the most neglected region," he said it is "in fact, the most spoilt child in the country." The central government, he said, "showers funds and other goodies" liberally on the region.
		In the Northeast, Singh seems to imply, what is needed is a paternalistic and disciplinarian teacher - someone who knows what is good for children and, occasionally uses the stick for their own good, the role that he probably sees the coercive apparatus of the Indian state playing in the region.

		India’s domesticated elephants are valuable not only for the work they perform but also as a future conservation tool against inbreeding or genetic drift in wild elephants.
		India has a tradition of several thousands of years of keeping elephants and the region is the conventionally accepted birthplace of domestication.
		In India livestock departments apparently (it is difficult to generalize across eleven states) presently play a very small role in treating elephants and no role in registering or managing domesticated elephants, the main reason simply being that they have never done so in the past.

		While northeastern India is no Sierra Leone, it is nevertheless striking that the region is both poor and a primary commodity-producing region—factors that, according to Collier, make an area conducive to illegal tax-collection and to the persistence of armed civil conflicts.
