THE METAPHORE(conain SPOILERS) Meghana (The North east and Kashmir) constantly rejects Amar (The Indian state). Amar(The Indian state) sees her dangerous, and, beautiful at the same time, pursues her obsessively. Amar( The Indian State) tries to constantly 'save' her( North East-Kashmir) but, for his own desires, blindly often, and doesn't understand her motives. His pursuit only leads both of them to their ends and their ending represents the never ending conflict.
