History of Arunachal Pradesh

The history of arunachal prades remains in mystery.Oral histories possessed to this day by many arunachali tribes of Tibeto-burman stock are much richer and point unambiguously to a northern origin in modern day Tibet.Again corroboration remains difficult. From the point of view of material culture it is clear that most of indigenous arunachali groups align with Burma area hilly tribels,a fact that could either be explainable in terms of a northern Burmese origin or from westward cultural diffusion.
The region was mentioned in the hindu texts Kalika Purana and   


Mahabharata, and is attested to the prabhu Mountains of the Puranas, and was where sage Parashuram washed away sins, the sage Vyasa meditated,King Bhishmaka founded his kingdom and Lord Krishna married his Rukmini .
Outside prespective only became available in the Ahom chornicles of the 16th century.The Mompa and Sherdukpen keep the existence of local chiefdoms in the northwest as well.
