520			_aWhen people think about multiculturalism the first concept that comes to mind is the idea of recognizing and accommodating different cultural beliefs, practices, traditions, languages or lifestyles. Charles D. Tarlton's "politics of recognition" tends to place a greater emphasis on accommodating group- based identities in a multicultural society. India's constitution reflected its cultural diversity. In the Northeast states. India adopted numerous multicultural policies in various ways to preserve the rights of cultural minorities of various ethic groups. The sixth schedule provision facilitates the establishment of ADC in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura. Also, the Indian constitution accorded special powers with respects to the states of Nagaland (371A), Assam(371B), Manipur(371C), Sikkim(371F), Mizoram(371G) etc. However, different question arises like how far this policy addresses the problems of ethic diversity? What is the underlying of multicultural policy in northeast India? The paper analyses the above questions and made an attempt to study the special policies adopted by the government of India for the states in the north- eastern region of India.- Reproduced
