Indian democracy is considered to be one of the largest and best forms in the world. Its constitutional democracy has been maintained since the creation of modern states including the present-day Indian North-East states. The meaning and usage of democracy may vary from time to time and place to place, yet it has been associated with economic, social and political equality of its citizens. Various communities in North-East India were baffled by the government of India’s policies and programmes that were implemented after India gained independence. This paper attempts to examine how the North-East Indian select writers personalize the political and politicize the personal experiences of the issues and challenges of Indian democracy in the North-East states in select stories of the North-East Indian writers during the last 60 years of independence. The first part of the paper deals with the introduction stating the broad theoretical framework, the second part engages with the select texts and the last part draws a conclusion to the paper.
