Yet, the situation in the Northeast is more complex because of its prodigious cultural diversity and heterogeneity, and as a result, conflicts exist at many different levels. However, the ethnic scenario in Kashmir is compounded by Pakistani irredentism and the presence of Hindu nationalism and communalism.
