LOL!! Again Ignorance and blatant lying at display.After 1962 war when India lost ST in a flash and was about to lose the whole NE with Nehru crying on AIR (All India Radio) that whole NE was lost.Indian war planners decided they could not match China in a war.So in a damage control mode,they prosposed to keep the region as backward as possible to slow down the Chinese advance long enough to mount a defense of Assam.Subsequently hope for international pressure to save them.
It was for this reason that they put in place this scorched earth policy.Even now the defence build up is mostly for the lower regions to stall China long enough to defend Assam( hopefully for Indians LOL)
Just for information of members of other flags(Indians will still deny this).So dear member whose post I have quoted,seems your elite are to use your parlance "dim wits and nutcases".Since I assume you are a common man,that makes you a?retard I guess.
"Infrastructure backwardness is also a result of the defensive mindset that crept into the security establishment following the 1962 Indo-China border skirmish.
The government did not create roads or bridges in Arunachal—then North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA)—fearing that such infrastructure could be used by the invading Chinese to roll down into Assam.
Instead, a ‘reverse scorched earth policy’ created a buffer zone along the border with China, but this also meant that the strategically sensitive state remained one of India’s most isolated, with abysmal infrastructure.
Hence, military resupply to the border is virtually impossible. The Chinese have built all-weather motorable roads on their side of the border, allowing them to speedily insert troops at various points all along the border.
The construction of the Golmud-Lhasa railway line has allowed them to overcome the hurdle of rapidly building up and sustaining their troops in Tibet.
In sharp contrast, only two of the Indian posts, Tawang and Kibito, along the 1,080 km McMahon Line dividing Arunachal Pradesh and Tibet, can be reached by road, the rest telescope from jeep tracks to mule tracks and finally into foot tracks.
The defence of the sensitive Tawang area depends on a single, slender road. “If the Chinese want to capture Tawang, all they have to do is cut this road off,” says Tapir Gao, MP, Arunachal East.
“The state of roads in Arunachal Pradesh has a bearing on national security,” says Singh. Ministry of Defence officials recognise India’s insecurity and signs of China having completed all their preparations.
“They were quietly building up their infrastructure along the borders while we were complacent,” says a senior army official. “With a boundary left undemarcated, the Chinese have been taking advantage of their greater accessibility to continue their acquisition of Indian territory.
The Government is yet to consider a proposal to link all the border roads of the state,” says Kiren Rijiju, BJP MP from Arunachal West constituency. Defence Minister A. K. Antony expressed his amazement at China’s rapid infrastructure build-up along the border."

On the issue of representation,
Maybe your low iq knucklehead couldn't comprehend or know that the representaion in centre is decided by your population and assam has what 14 MPs while we have a grand total of 2 in LS.So even if we did and
we have represented ourselves- it would amount to nothing.Just to educate you further,my 82 friend-the whole of NE can't table a no confidence motion in the parliament even if we united.That is one more problem with democracy-it just rewards bad behaviour and overpopulation.
So frankly your crony democracy can very well not exist for all we care.
So what chance do we have against a state policy to keep us backward.After all colonies have no choice.
LOL.More blatant lying.Now I don't wikipedia a lot or even Assam related articles but here it goes-
"Despite its rich natural resources, and supplying of up to 25% of India's petroleum needs"
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So your theory of "trinkets" for Assam oil goes right out of the window.BTW,you seem to have memory issues as well and selective amnesia at that.I also pointed out how Assam is central to control of NE and hence India puts in the bare minimum needed infra in Assam.
That Assam gets the basic minimum infrastructure because it is an important source of crude oil for a poor impoverished India and to keep continued control of NE colonies including Assam.It takes no Newton to figure out that if Assam would not have the minimum infra,India stands a huge chance of losing it's colonies.Of course saving a few billion of forex from crude oil from Assam (depriving it's natives) helps as well for a country which is behind sub saharan Afr.
You don't trade and buy crude oil using your GDP (nominal or P3),you use forex for that.India being a very poor country just can't afford the extra burden of buying the oil it gets from Assam and NE ,as a result of imperialism,from the international markets using it's forex reserves.To get Asssam oil,all it has to do is deprive the natives and print some more near worthless rupees.
NE is a colony for all intents and purposes.Reason why India just sucks the resources of this region and leaves nothing for the people here.When things go south,we will get the cake and Indian illegal immigrants will get the stick.As simple as that.
But aah!!why argue with those with intellect too low for these matters.
