Northeast India

Proper noun

 * 1) The northeastern region of India, comprising the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura. In the aggregation of seven, the region is called "Seven Sisters". Often Sikkim is included, regarded as their only "brother state" as well.
 * 2)  The northeastern region of directly North India itself or of Gangetic plains, especially eastern Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and parts of Bengal. This is often considered offensive as this concept excludes the Seven Sisters States from being parts of India.
