The Chakmas of Arunachal Pradesh: History, Challenges, and Hope in Bloomington, MN

The Chakma issue in Arunachal Pradesh is often misunderstood due to pervasive and misleading narratives. These narratives unjustly label the Chakmas as 'outsiders, ' 'immigrants, ' and 'refugees, ' portraying them as a threat to the state's indigenous communities.
This book challenges these misconceptions by offering a comprehensive historical narrative of the Chakmas in Arunachal Pradesh, based on rigorous research and a nuanced understanding of their true history, culture, and experiences. It aims to fill a significant void in scholarly literature and public understanding.
This deeper comprehension is crucial for policymakers, scholars, and the public, as it addresses and corrects these unfortunate labels. Only through a more informed and empathetic perspective can we resolve this long-standing issue.
