It is bordered by Assam to the north and east, Bangladesh to the south, and Tripura to the west. The state has a population of over 3 million people, and its capital is Shillong.<\/p>\n<p>Meghalaya is a mountainous state, and its people are predominantly tribal. The main tribes in Meghalaya are the Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia. These tribes have a long history of autonomy, and they have resisted attempts by the Indian government to impose its authority on them.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1970s, there was a movement for greater autonomy for Meghalaya within Assam.

There are still some people in Meghalaya who want the state to be independent. There have also been demands for the creation of new tribal states within Meghalaya.<\/p>\n<p>The protection of minority groups is another important issue in Meghalaya. The Khasi, Garo, and Jaintia tribes are the majority groups in the state, but there are also a number of minority groups, including the Chakma, Marwari, and Bengali. These minority groups have often been discriminated against, and they have demanded protection from the state government.<\/p>\n<p>The government of Meghalaya has taken some steps to protect minority groups. For example, it has passed laws against discrimination and it has set up special programs to help minority groups. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure that all groups in Meghalaya are treated fairly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe on
