Abstract: The North East has for long been seen exclusively through the lenses of development and democracy deficits. Numbers in India’s Periphery throws fresh light on the region by bringing a new lens – data – to the debate. Using field interviews, archival sources and secondary data, the book takes a deep dive into systematic and deliberate errors in government statistics. These errors include issues relating to geographical areas, disputed borders, population and National Sample Survey statistics in the focus state of Nagaland. Other states in India’s landlocked ethno-geographic periphery. It uncovers a mutually constitutive relationship between data, development and democracy. Despite its academic title, Numbers in India’s Periphery is engaging and very readable, even exciting at parts, as it offers accounts of how government statistics are social artefacts dynamically shaped by political and economic factors. The book also helps understand the expanding footprint of statistics in everyday life. It offers a ringside view of Centre-State relations and how the periphery views and experiences the State.
