'Ashish Kundra's A Resurgent Northeast offers an intricate exposition of the region's history, politics, people and growth brought together by an author who possesses a broad insider's perspective. His detailed account of the efforts, achievements and gaps in the governance and development of the Northeast presents not just the story thus far, but also the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.'

-Shashi Tharoor, author and Member of Parliament

'The wealth of knowledge, awareness and experience of Northeast India that Ashish Kundra brings to his writing is unique and unparalleled. This book is a moveable feast, a mindscape to carry, wherever we go.'

-Nirupama Rao, former foreign secretary and ambassador of India

'Ashish Kundra's book is an affectionate and empathetic study of the past, present and possible future of the region known as the "Northeast". The narrative ranges widely over the terrains of history, economics, ecology and sociology. There are incisive portraits of farmers, scientists, officials and entrepreneurs. The author offers a series of constructive suggestions on how best to assure livelihood security and cultural self-respect to the citizens of these states. Gracefully written as well as judiciously argued, the book deserves a wide readership.'

-Ramachandra Guha, author and historian

'Ashish Kundra is a rare thinking bureaucrat, whose arguments about the Northeast must be seriously grappled and engaged with.'

-Basharat Peer, author and journalist
