On 1 February 2005, the IISS hosted a Special Round Table Discussion on 'India's North East - Problems and Prospects' with Mr. Rajeev Bhattacharyya, Principal Correspondent, The Telegraph (Kalkota and Delhi).
Mr Bhattacharyya has been closely following politico-military developments in the Northeast as a journalist for the past few years, and has written extensively on this much-neglected and turbulent part of India.
