Thanks to the neo-liberal economy that has been the official policy in India since July 1991 development-induced displacement is growing in India as a whole as well as in the northeast. The focus on mining and possible 166 dams being planned in the region is bound to displace a much bigger number of people than in the past in the northeast. While it symbolizes globalization, the region witnesses a rise also in the extent of the remaining types of displacement, that is, by conflicts and natural disasters. In fact, because of the overuse of natural and mineral resources after globalization there seems to be a close link between these three types of internally displaced persons (IDPs). Present-day disasters are mostly human-made. The overuse of resources causes competition for what is left of them and it results in more conflicts and IDPs. After a bird’s eye view of the situation in India as a whole, the article shifts its focus to the northeast to discuss various types of IDPs in the region. The backdrop of India Look (Act) East policy is taken to bring newer dimensions
