Arunachal Pradesh, nestled in the northeastern corner of India, is a land of immense natural beauty and unique history. Arunachal Pradesh Forever is a comprehensive exploration of this region, where the author Harish Kapadia meticulously weaves together historical accounts, personal anecdotes, and cultural studies to present a unique perspective.\n\nHarish has enriched these narratives with twenty treks and explorations personally undertaken by him to remote parts like Takpa Siri, the Chaukan Pass on the Burma border, and Yonggyap La on the McMahon Line, the border with China. One of his historic explorations was reaching the “S BEND”, from where the Tsangpo river originating near Manasarovar in Tibet enters India to be called Brahmaputra.\nThe book also captures stories of war and the valour displayed by the Indian army. The scholarly studies of the tribal society by Verrier Elwin and Haimendorf are also highlighted. Poems by Mamang Dai, a well-decorated poet of the state adds a personal touch to this book.\n\nWith 20 sketch maps, 19 sketches by Geeta Kapadia, and more than 90 colour and B-W photographs this book promises to be an invaluable guide and historical record. For an armchair mountaineer, there are personal stories, history and accounts that illustrate that “Arunachal Pradesh Forever” is a book forever!
