Mainland India

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.

Mainland India has been noted for having neglected Northeast India to a significant extent due to the Northeast's distinctness, with the Northeast having become somewhat alienated as a result, and ending up trending towards Korean cultural influences as a result.

In geographical context, Mainland India includes the entire India (including Northeast India), excluding the island union territories of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep.
