On surface these incidents listed below might seem to have no connection to each other. But on a deeper level, they are all connected, planned & sponsored by powerful propaganda masterminds. That's atleast what the indigenous inhabitants of northeast India will tell you.

2018 Shillong-Sikh Incident. In the lastest turbulent, reports are coming in that cost prohibitive liquors have been distributed for the participants, which in a normal agitation will not happen.
All of the above are cases that played out in the favor of outside forces, as opposed to the local inhabitants, to the extent that the involvement of outside forces cannot be ruled out. In the case of Mizoram-Assam dispute, the role of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh is suspected. They are one of the two major forces from outside that plagued the peace of mind in northeast India; the other major actor from outside is, the Hindutva forces of mainland India. Both have no business in the northeast other than to disturb the notion of peaceful co-existence. That's atleast what the indigenous inhabitants of northeast India will tell you.
