The troubled Northeast region of India has many political issues from within including SEPARATIST MOVEMENTS and comprises of Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Tripura and Sikkim – a region surrounded Bhutan, Myanmar, Bangladesh and China.

If Siliguri Corridor is captured by China, it can geographically isolate those states from mainland. All major trade and supply (both civilian and military) routes from Mainland India to the North East exist via this corridor.

Indian Army has a massive presence in that region. India cannot afford to allow any Chinese presence inside the narrow corridor.
China CAN DO TO INDIA WHAT INDIA DID TO PAKISTAN IN 1971 by delinking the former East Pakistan from West Pakistan.

Chinese will have opportunity to create 7 different Bangladeshs’ in north-east India. It is through Chumbi Valley that the Chinese PLA can block Siliguri Corridor and thus delink North-east from the rest of India in one massive swipe.
