Inde du Nord-Estvignette|Une carte des "Sept États sœurs". Le Nord-Est indien est une zone géographique de la République indienne formant une communauté politique et économique de huit États au nord-est de celle-ci. Il regroupe le Sikkim, l'Arunachal Pradesh, l'Assam, Manipur, le Meghalaya, Mizoram, le Nagaland et Tripura. Cette zone est linguistiquement et culturellement très différente de ce que l'on rencontre dans le reste de l'Inde. Un grand nombre d'habitants de ces États parlent des langues tibéto-birmanes et ont une culture proche de celle des autres pays d'Asie du Sud-Est et du Tibet.
Bengalis (peuple)Les Bengalis (Bengali: বাঙালি Bangali) sont le principal groupe ethnique de la région du Bengale, partagée entre le Bangladesh et l'Inde. La plupart d'entre eux parlent le bengali. Ils sont majoritaires au Bangladesh et dans les États du Bengale-Occidental et de Tripura d'Inde. Ils représentent quelque 150 millions d'individus au Bangladesh, 70 millions en Inde, 3 millions au Pakistan et forment d'importantes minorités en Arabie saoudite et aux Émirats arabes unis.
Dimasa peopleThe Dimasa people (dimāsā) are an ethnolinguistic community presently inhabiting in Assam and Nagaland states in Northeastern India. They speak Dimasa, a Tibeto-Burman language. This community is fairly homogeneous and exclusive, with members required to draw from both parents' separate clans. Dimasa kingdom, one of many early states in Assam following the downfall of Kamarupa kingdom, was established by these people. The Dimasas were till recently agricultural, centering on shifting agriculture; but in recent times this has changed with profound changes in the community.

C'est aujourd'hui une des plus importantes villes d’Assam et l'une des six à disposer d’un aéroport. La langue officielle au Cachar est le bengali. Curieusement, bien que les États indiens soient constitués sur une base linguistique, le Cachar reste partie de l'Assam et n'a pas été rattaché au Tripura voisin, qui partage avec lui le bengali.
Koch dynastyThe Koch dynasty (Pron: kɒʧ; 1515–1949) ruled parts of eastern Indian subcontinent in present-day Assam and Bengal. Biswa Singha established power in the erstwhile Kamata Kingdom which had emerged from the decaying Kamarupa Kingdom. The dynasty came to power by removing the Baro-Bhuyans, who had earlier removed the short-lived rule established by Alauddin Hussain Shah. The dynasty split into three among the descendants of Biswa Singha's three sons; two antagonistic branches Koch Bihar and Koch Hajo and a third branch at Khaspur.
Brahmaputra ValleyThe Brahmaputra Valley is a region situated between hill ranges of the eastern and northeastern Himalayan range in Eastern India. The valley consists of the Western Brahmaputra Valley covering the regions of Goalpara and Kamrup; the Central Brahmaputra Valley region covering Darrang, Nagaon and the North Bank and Eastern Brahmaputra Valley comprising districts of Sonitpur, Lakhimpur, Dibrugarh and Sibsagar.

Ahom kingdomThe Ahom kingdom (ˈɑ:hɔːm, 1228–1826) was a late medieval kingdom in the Brahmaputra Valley (present-day Assam). It maintained its sovereignty for nearly 600 years having successfully resisted Mughal expansion in Northeast India. Established by Sukaphaa, a Tai prince from Mong Mao (present-day Yunnan Province, China), it began as a mong in the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra based on wet rice agriculture. It expanded suddenly under Suhungmung in the 16th century and became multi-ethnic in character, casting a profound effect on the political and social life of the entire Brahmaputra valley.
AizawlAizawl (pronaɪˈzɔːl; Mizo: ˈʌɪ̯.ˈzɔːl) is the capital of the state of Mizoram in India. Aizawl was officially established on 25 February 1890. With a population of 293,416, it is the largest city in the state. It is also the centre of administration containing all the important government offices, state assembly house and civil secretariat. The population of Aizawl strongly reflects the different communities of the ethnic Mizo people. In 1871–72, the disorderly conduct of Khalkom, a Mizo Chief, compelled the British to establish an outpost that later became the Aizawl Village.
