Whats the part next to bangladesh called and why is there no electrified rail there??
The 'north-east' or 'seven sisters' - they are poorer, culturally distinct, and politically ignored. Also the terrain is hilly and forested.
those states, Assam and beyond are called the Seven Sisters, and Sikkim is often included too as the One Brother.
I suppose you mean North East India? If I had to hazard a guess, the mountainous terrain probably makes it a struggle to do so
Afaik there is also the simple fact that these regions are not an example of good governance
They are marginalised by the Modi government. Underfunded and forgotten.
It’s not a coincidence that the majority of independence and anti-government movements are in these regions.
