Imagined Geographies in the Indo-Tibetan Borderlands: Culture,
Politics, Place is an ethnography of culture and politics in
Monyul, a Tibetan Buddhist cultural region in west Arunachal
Pradesh, Northeast India. For nearly three centuries, Monyul was
part of the Tibetan state, and the Monpas - as the communities
inhabiting this region are collectively known - participated in
trans-Himalayan trade and pilgrimage. Following the colonial
demarcation of the Indo-Tibetan boundary in 1914, the fall of the
Tibetan state in 1951, and the India-China boundary war in 1962,
Monyul was gradually integrated into India and the Monpas became a
Scheduled Tribe. In 2003, the Monpas began a demand for autonomy
under the leadership of Tsona Gontse Rinpoche. This book examines
the narratives and politics of the autonomy movement regarding
language, place-names, and trans-border kinship against the
backdrop of the India-China border dispute. It explores how the
Monpas negotiate multiple identities to imagine new forms of
community that transcend regional and national borders.
