About the Book
Imperialism has had a profound impact on human civilisation, shaping global politics and economies today. The Indian subcontinent was one of the most significant arenas for imperialist power struggles, but colonial powers extended their reach to every continent and region they encountered.
Colonialism gave way to neo-colonialism, where economic influence and strategic partnerships replaced direct military occupation. The Western Core State maintained its grip on resources while presenting a facade of sovereignty for peripheral  nations. Nationalist sentiments played a significant role in shaping imperial strategy, with the idea of “civilising” the world used to justify military interventions and exploitation.
Imperial powers invested heavily in research-based intelligence gathering, recognising the importance of understanding local cultures, economies, and politics. However, their departure left deep fault lines that continue to plague various countries.
The book examines the strategies employed by Western imperial powers to shape favourable scenarios in North East Region from a long-term perspective. By analysing these, we can gain a deeper understanding of the complex web of influences shaping our world today.
Ultimately, this book serves as a crucial reminder that imperialist legacy continues to shape our world in profound ways. By acknowledging these complexities and exploring the various fault lines created by imperial powers, we can build a more nuanced understanding of regional and global politics.
