It looks into the digital divide, online learning, steps taken by the state, and other distress that came along during the pandemic. Considering the lack of study focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tribal children of Northeast India, the study takes note of all the cases of children in the eight northeastern states. In doing so, it is crucial to account for four states – Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland that are identified as tribal majority states. 1 The examination of children in the northeast region, especially of the aforementioned four states, represent tribal children at large, and the remaining states, Assam, Manipur, Sikkim, and Tripura, indicate both tribal and non-tribal children. The chapter is drawn from secondary data, books, articles, reports, and news reports to highlight the precarity among tribal children in the northeast region of India.

Emotional labour employed in this work especially in the vendors adds more woes to the existing vulnerability and exploitation they face in brewing and selling alcohol. As more women began to sell and serve alcohol for customers in their household setup, emotional labour came forth as a significant factor to cater and sustain the operation of alcohol vendors. This article is an attempt to bring out the facet of alcohol work and the role of women from Namthanlong. Primary data collected from the field in Namthanlong village has been used in presenting the realities of women workers in indigenous alcohol industry and the significance of emotional labour. Data was collected by taking interviews of prospective respondents with ethical considerations.

Interacting with outsiders has always led to the contestation of their customs, traditions, and beliefs. Tribal societies continue to administer their villages under customary law on the tenet of equity. Their law has even resisted the policies of Manipuri kings and the British administration. In the present day, tribal customary law stands challenged by the Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms Act, 1960.

1991 when India opened up for liberalisation.
The policy was aimed to configure land locked
northeast region of India for international
relations with its neighbour and to gain a
foothold in South East Asia. The 1990s was a
period conspicuous of rapid economic
development and growth of Asian countries,
especially in South East Asia. South East Asia
came to be recognized as a region with vast
economic potential, and in close tandem the
Indian sub-continent was fast emerging as an
economic and political force to be reckoned
with. This is when the Indian leadership came
up with the concept of “Look East”. Look East
policy encapsulates this outlook in presenting
India an important player to consolidate the
whole South East Asia for trade and
international cooperation. The thrust from here
placed India to create and expand regional
markets for trade, investments and industrial
development.
