Red Frontier: The Lost Northeast of India

Red Frontier: The Lost Northeast of India is a gripping work of alternate history that dares to ask a haunting question: what if China had never withdrawn from the Northeast during the 1962 Sino–Indian War?

Through vivid narrative chapters, the book explores how the loss of Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh would have reshaped South Asia and the world. From the fall of Guwahati and Shillong to the rise of resistance in the hills, from India’s political collapse to the Cold War flashpoints in Nagaland and Mizoram, the story unfolds as a chilling simulation of conquest, resilience, and geopolitics.

The narrative dives into the cultural survival of indigenous peoples under occupation, India’s missed redemption in 1971, the quagmire of insurgency in the 1980s, and a speculative vision of the 21st century when India rises again to reclaim its lost frontier.

Part history, part imagination, Red Frontier is not just about battles and borders — it is about memory, identity, and the resilience of a people caught between empires.
