Feeding India’s Northeast: Food, Politics and Agricultural Transformation
Sanjay (Xonzoi) Barbora

Finding Food in the Northeast of late, there is a renewed interest in cuisines of the Northeast. In part, this interest is driven by more people moving out of the region, as also the fact that urban centres within the region have grown within the last decade. When people travel beyond the confines of their villages and small towns, the memory of home cooked food is something that kindles warm thoughts in their minds. So too, when people move to rapidly growing urban centres like Guwahati, Shillong or Kohima, restaurants and markets become spaces that are frequented for sustenance. We are what we eat. This adage has been spun across time and space in a manner that makes it almost axiomatic. However, food has a historically constituted quality to it and our modern world of markets and malls seems to have little time for these complexities. Guwahati, the city I have lived in for a few years now, is one that bears the burden of these contradictory times on its sleeve. Its malls have international fast food chains, as well as franchised restaurants that serve Chinese and Indian cuisines. The city also has several restaurants that serve ethnic cuisine – Assamese, Naga, Karbi and even Singpho – that are testimony to the fact that the region’s varied and distinct food cultures can hold their own against other cuisines as well.
