Mainland India is a geo-political term sometimes used to refer to India excluding the region of Northeast India and the disputed territory of Kashmir, with the north-east connected by the Siliguri Corridor.[1][2][3][4][5]
Mainland India has been noted for having neglected Northeast India to a significant extent due to the Northeast's distinctness,[6] with the Northeast having become somewhat alienated as a result,[3][7] and ending up trending towards Korean cultural influences as a result.[8]
In geographical context, Mainland India includes the entirety of India (including Northeast India), excluding the island union territories of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep.
