Good thread and good job iajdani. Thanks to asad71 bhai for pointing out past details. We need to high light the plight of North East states to the people of the world.
Please note the method how India broke Pakistan. The key is to recruit young student leaders who want independence in North East states and create a wide grass roots political base of support, once 40 million population are united, aware and determined about their self determination, there is nothing any army can do to stop them. Indian intelligence started operation in 1950's in East Pakistan and in 1971 Bangladesh was created.

If China can engineer a popular support base for independence of North East states, then the whole world will be behind North East states - US, EU, Japan, Korea, ASEAN, Burma, you name it. No one supports imperialism and oppression and every one supports the oppressed people in their fight for self determination.
This project is a geopolitical win win for North East population, neighbors and the whole world, the lone exception are the oppressors, Brahman supremacists in "mainland" India who will lose their colonial possession in North East that they got as a gift from the British when they left India.
This project already got started by ISI and Chinese intelligence in 1950's, but India played a clever game using Mujib led Awami League who allied with India and broke Pakistan, many say precisely to stop this project. Read the life story of these two leaders from North East states:

If Hasina loses election in Dec. 2013 and China friendly BNP (Khaleda Zia) come back to power, then the situation will become ripe for restarting this project in earnest. Even if Hasina is still in power, they cannot stop China as the main logistics supply can and will be through Burmese borders.
So China needs to convince Burma that this time around China is serious, really means business and will see this project through finish line to recover South Tibet, and that it will be good for Burmese to have one less nuclear power in their border. Instead Burma will have a fellow ethnic kin South East Asian friendly nation (North East states) on its border, very much dependent on it for many things and eventually may become a fellow member nation of ASEAN.
But like someone pointed out, there are major differences and conflicts between the many ethnic groups and that difference will have to be overcome sufficiently so that "mainland" India cannot play divide and rule and keep this area under its rule. Once North East states can unite politically from grass roots level, they will be able to achieve whatever they feel is in their best interest, stay with India or become independent.
