"This book, Research Priorities in North-East India (with special reference to Assam), attempts to identify the research priorities in a state that has indicated sizeable conflict situations. It is also apparent that if such an effort is indeed made, it will pave way for a better understanding of the problems facing the state and perhaps add to the competence in resolving as much of the conflicts as possible. Above all, the present attempt is an effort to place these research priorities in a contemporary perspective and as an alternative to the all too common approach to the problems of the state".
