From the preface:  "Arunachal  Pradesh, the erstwhile North East Frontier Agency, shares international boundaries with Bhutan, Tibet China and Myanmar to west, Northeast, North and East respectively, and 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 rivers Kameng, Subansiri, Siang,  Lohit and Tirap. There are practically no records relating to the history of this area except some oral literate and a number of historical ruins found mainly in foothills. Subsequent explorations and excavations have identified the ruins, as dating approximately from early Christian era. The historical evidence indicates that not only was the area well known, but the people living there had close relations with the rest of the country also."
