This essay focuses on the issues of voice and representation, especially of people at the margins of the postcolonial nation-state. I ask what happens to political conversation and dialogue in situations of foundational inequality between two speaking positions, where the inequality has been engendered by the way in which the epistemic and political category of the nation-state has emerged. I place this discussion in the context of India's Northeast, which has seen a history of failed political conversations. These issues of representation and voice resonate with larger debates within postcolonial and transnational studies
