00:00Thousand draped in Rissa, the hand-woven traditional cloth filled Agar Tala shouting One North East

00:09at the top of their lungs.

00:15The rally brought together an unlikely group of leaders from Meghalaya, Tripura, Assam,

00:20Nagaland and Manipur on one stage, all arguing that fragmentation has weakened the North East

00:25and unity is now a survival strategy.

00:30In the North East, we are here to come to be one North East.

00:37Meghalaya Chief Minister Konrad K. Sangma stood before the same crowd and marked the public

00:42launch of a new political formation called One North East, an attempt by regional parties

00:46and tribal leaders to unite on questions of land rights, identity, language and the political

00:51voice of the region's indigenous communities.

00:53Despite TMP being an ally of the BJP in Tripura, Pradyud Dev Marma openly claimed people in Delhi

01:15do not like the people of the North East.

01:17The rally follows a November 4th meeting in Delhi where these leaders announce plans

01:22for a single regional platform.

01:24A nine-member committee has now been formed to present a blueprint within 45 days.

01:28For the first time in years, major North Eastern voices are attempting to band together not as

01:33separate states with separate demands, but as a collective pushing back against marginalization,

01:37demographic, cultural and political.

01:45Whether this alliance becomes a real political force or fades is still unclear.

01:50But the message from Agartala was unmistakable.

01:53The North East wants to speak and this time it wants to speak together.

01:57Long.

01:58Long.

01:58Long.
