The seven contiguous states Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura – often referred as the seven sisters- forms the northeastern states.
Though each of them is unique with its own cultural identity, these seven states are distinct from the rest of India on a linguistic and ethnic ground. A thin long land – nicknamed Chicken Neck – practically acts as a corridor connecting the northern states to the mainland India. The national highway and the railway route pass through this land strip.
