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 one of the Scheduled Tribes of India. 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. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed July 15, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Monpa (Indic people)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh87002586 650 0 Ethnology|zIndia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85045291|zArunāchal Pradesh.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80067460-781 650 7 Monpa (Indic people)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1025734 650 7 Ethnology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/916106 650 7 Ethnic minorities and multicultural studies.|2bicssc 650 7 Social and cultural anthropology, ethnography.|2bicssc 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE|xGeopolitics.|2bisacsh 650 7 Autonomy and independence movements.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1736040 651 0 Arunāchal Pradesh (India)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n80067460|xHistory|xAutonomy and independence movements.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002011468 651 7 India|zArunāchal Pradesh.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1208889 653 Northeast frontier of India, Indo-Tibetan borderlands, culture, politics, identity. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 Asian borderlands.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2016082780 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2521522|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
