- Summary:
- Eleven hill states of India, lacking severely in economic resources, and geographically isolated from the rest of the country but sharing international boundaries, comprise the group of 'special category states'. These states are Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, and Uttarakhand. This book explores the reality of these states, going down to the roots of their backwardness and examining them in the context of asymmetric federalism.
