Better name?
editA better name for the article would be the seven sisters of India or the seven sisters of the North-East, as these are the names used in media rather than "Seven Sister States." --Gurubrahma 06:17, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Using the term "Seven Sisters" would require a disambiguation, because "The Seven Sisters" is another name given to the "Pleiads" group of stars in astronomy. Hugo Dufort 03:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- It is unambiguously called "Seven Sister States". Chaipau 04:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, "Seven Sister States" is a far second to "Seven Sisters". A much better name, according to WP:NC would be Seven Sisters (India). Tomertalk 08:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Seven Sisters can also refer to certain colleges in the U.S. (mostly formerly all-women) and mountaintops in Massaschusetts.Historian932 (talk) 22:51, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Interdependence
editI am confused by this line from the Interdependence paragraph: "A correct strategy to control floods in the plains calls for soil conservation and afforestation in the hills." I know something about range/forest/watershed management at least in the USA and it seems as though the author is suggesting that the sister states practice "afforestation?" To minimize peakflows downstream, a more forested and more vegetated uplands is needed or desired to reduce valley flooding not afforestation. Is this a language issue perhaps?Polkamj (talk) 13:56, 18 April 2013 (UTC)polkamj
Contentious image of the Seven-Sister States, with respect to the "dotted line" around Arunachal Pradesh
editI intend to remove the image of the Seven-Sister States due to the "dashed-" or "dotted-" line that delineates the borders of Arunachal Pradesh. Arunachal Pradesh is an internationally recognized State of the Indian Union. This image undermines the neutrality of this article. I hope to receive feedback, though, before removing the image.
