Arunachal Pradesh

History and Geography
Arunachal Pradesh, the erstwhile North-East Frontier Agency shares
international boundaries with Bhutan, Tibet, China and Myanmar to the west,
north-east, north and east respectively, and the state boundaries with Assam and
Nagaland. The terrain consists of submontane and mountainous ranges, sloping
down to the plains of Assam, divided into valleys by the rivers Kameng,
Subansiri, Siang, Lohit and Tirap.
Modern history of Arunachal Pradesh begins with the inception of British rule
in Assam after the treaty of Yandaboo, concluded on 24 February 1826.
Before 1962, the area was popularly known as the North East Frontier Agency (NEFA),
and was constitutionally a part of Assam. Because of its strategic importance,
however, it was administered by the Ministry of External Affairs until 1965, and
subsequently by the Ministry of Home Affairs, through the Governor of Assam. In
1972, it was constituted as a Union Territory and renamed Arunachal Pradesh. On
20 February 1987, it became the 24th state of the Indian Union.
