Arunachal Pradesh: Full History Jankari
Introduction:
Arunachal Pradesh, meaning “Land of the Dawn-Lit Mountains,” is a state rich in cultural heritage, natural beauty, and a unique historical journey.
Early Inhabitants (Prehistoric to Medieval Period)
-
The region has been inhabited by numerous indigenous tribes such as Monpas, Adis, Apatanis, Nyishis, and many others for thousands of years.
-
These tribes have diverse languages, customs, and traditions which are the essence of Arunachal Pradesh’s cultural identity.
-
Historical ties possibly link the region to ancient kingdoms like Kamarupa and Ahom, though concrete evidence is limited.
Medieval Period (13th to 18th Century)
-
The Chutiya dynasty influenced parts of the region with their capital at Sadiya.
-
Arunachal Pradesh served as a corridor for trade and cultural exchange between Tibet, Assam, and Burma.
-
Several small kingdoms and tribal chiefdoms existed independently in the area.
British Era (19th to Early 20th Century)
-
British colonial administration extended control over the region gradually, naming it the North-East Frontier Tract.
-
The difficult terrain and tribal resistance meant limited direct control.
-
The Simla Convention (1914) established the McMahon Line, the border between British India and Tibet, which remains a source of dispute with China.
Post-Independence Period
-
In 1951, the North-East Frontier Agency (NEFA) was created to administer the region.
-
In 1972, NEFA was renamed Arunachal Pradesh and became a Union Territory.
-
On February 20, 1987, Arunachal Pradesh gained full statehood.
-
The state has faced challenges including border disputes with China, development hurdles, and maintaining its cultural identity.
Modern Arunachal Pradesh
-
Today, Arunachal Pradesh is known for its biodiversity, tribal cultures, and picturesque landscapes.
-
The state government emphasizes infrastructure development, education, tourism, and preserving tribal heritage.
-
The border dispute with China over Arunachal Pradesh remains sensitive but is addressed through diplomatic channels.
