PROBLEM OF LAND AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN THE NORTHEASTERN STATES OF INDIA

Indigenous peoples have the right to the full enjoyment, as a collective or as individuals, of all human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognized in the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Human Rights Law. According to the United Nation Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Article 26, states that “Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories, and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired,” and it directs states to give legal recognition to these territories. The real problems are that the National governments continue to deny Indigenous Peoples the right to live in and manage their traditional lands; often implementing policies to exploit the lands that have sustained them for centuries. Sacred lands and objects are plundered from them through unjust treaties. As a witness in some cases, governments have even enforced policies of forced assimilation in efforts to eradicate Indigenous Peoples, cultures, and traditions. Over and over, governments around the world have displayed an utter lack of respect for Indigenous values, traditions, and human rights. It is a human right that it should be protected and promoted to all individuals human beings and why it is not possible for the Indigenous peoples of the world. In the case of India, especially in the Northeastern States most conflict and violence also relating to the land problems in the region. What people are clarification about Northeast India it doesn’t matter, but the land is an identity for them and the land rights definitely become their lifeblood to survive
