Rajen-da,
You are right but also the current govt rules act against tourists. You need a
visa (inner line permit ) to enter the Seven Sisters even though you may be
from other parts of India ---so who would like to just take a trip to Assam
unless they get opportunity to travel throughout NE India (Seven SIsters)
without additional red tape.

Looks like there is no limit to the world's ignorance about Assam and the
North East India. I think we discussed the book last year in the net. This
book is another example where the entire North East India has been skipped
from India (may be to the delight of the insurgents).
India Unveiled (Hardcover)
by Robert Arnett (Author
A highly acclaimed mostly colorful book with high editorial reviews:
As promised, I put the following review (See full reviews in Amazon.com) for
readers to know the weakness of the book:
Not Real India, Not Whole India:
"I was very disappointed in the otherwise colorful book because it did not
address the real India nor it shows the whole India. In fact without
discussing substance, the book has left out the entrire North East India
comprising the seven states, namely the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh,
Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram & Tripura, the so called the Seven
Sisters which is physically the most beautiful and culturally most colorful
part of India. So I would suggest that when Mr. Robert Arnett visits India
next time, he would kindly take the time to visit the Seven Sisters and unveil
the beautiful North East India and complete the book showing more real stuff
in India."
