The hypothesis about the relative success of India's ethno-federal model in the mainland of India seems well-established in the writings on Indian federalism and ethnic conflict management. It is argued here that while this model has been responsible for relative peace and political stability in the mainland, India's North East tells us an opposite story. In this article, the author uses the case of India's North East to show that federalism in the North East has remained problematic. In conclusion, the need for paying serious attention to the question of how best to address the question of relationship between ethnicity and territory amidst complex diversity for durable political order and stability is highlighted
