- 3. Introduction Arunachal Pradeshis a state of India. Located in northeast India, Arunachal Pradesh borders the states of Assam andNagaland to the south, and shares international borders with Bhutan in the west, Burma in the east and the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the north. Arunachal Pradesh means "land of the dawn- lit mountains". It is also known as "land of the rising sun“ ("pradesh" means "state", "territory" or "region") in reference to its position as the easternmost state of India.
- 4. History The NEFA(North East Frontier Agency) was created in 1955. The issue was quiet for nearly a decade, a period of cordial Sino-Indian relations, but the reemergence of the issue was a major cause of the Sino-Indian War of 1962. Arunachal Pradesh became a separate state of India in 1987 despite the fact that the dispute over its sovereignty has not been settled with China. More recently, Arunachal Pradesh has come to face threats from certain insurgent groups, notably the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), who are believed to have base camps in the districts of Changlang and Tirap.
- 5. Geography Much ofArunachal Pradesh is covered by the Himalayas. However, parts of Lohit, Changlang and Tirap are covered by the Patkai hills. Kangto, Nyegi Kangsang, the main Gorichen peak and the Eastern Gorichen peak are some of the highest peaks in this region of the Himalayas. In 2006 Bumla pass in Tawang was opened to traders for the first time in 44 years. Traders from both sides of the pass were permitted to enter each other's territories, in addition to postal workers from each country.
- 6. Climate The climateof Arunachal Pradesh varies with elevation. Areas that are at a very high elevation in the Upper Himalayas close to the Tibetan border enjoy an alpine or tundra climate. Below the Upper Himalayas are the Middle Himalayas, where people experience a temperate climate. Areas at the sub-Himalayan and sea-level elevation generally experience humid, sub-tropical climate with hot summers and mild winters.
- 7. Demographics Arunachal Pradeshcan be roughly divided into a set of semi-distinct cultural spheres, on the basis of tribal identity, language, religion, and material culture: the Tibetic area bordering Bhutan in the west, the Tani area in the centre of the state, the Mishmi area to the east of the Tani area, the Tai area bordering Burma, and the "Naga" area to the south, which also borders Burma. Literacy has risen in official figures to 66.95% in 2011 from 54.74% in 2001. The literate population is said to number 789,943.
