The Only Brother, ‘Sikkim’
● Sikkim is also a part of the Northeast but is not included in the Seven Sisters of India because, while the other seven states are contiguous, Sikkim is sort of a neighbour, divided by the Siliguri Corridor.
● Sikkim is also referred to as the ‘Brother’ of the Seven Sisters.

● Limited connectivity
● Lack of political and social stability
● Lack of technology in their day-to-day lives
● Absence of railway infrastructure in the region
