The Seven Sister States - also called "Paradise Unexplored" - is a name given to the contiguous states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura in northeastern India.
These states cover an area of about 250,000 sq. km. or about 7 percent of India's total area.
They had a population of 38.6 million in 2000, about 3.8 percent of India's total. Although there is great ethnic and religious diversity within the seven states, they also have similarities in political, social and economic contexts.
