Abstract	Much of the contemporary literature on the 1962 Indo-Sino conflict, especially of a historical nature, approaches the conflict from the centre of the respective state involved. Therefore, the subject matter under discussion usually ranges from the failure of early India’s diplomatic and foreign policies toward Communist China to the political analysis of the ideologies underpinning the People’s Republic of China, as manifested in the idea of the middle kingdom and its associated ambitions of aggrandisement. Whilst there is no doubt that many scholarly works are beginning to narrate the history of the conflict, contextualised within the unique circumstances of then NEFA [present, Arunachal Pradesh] after Independence, most of these works limit themselves to the causation of the conflict and the general policies of isolation that were followed during the colonial period and immediately after Independence. Meanwhile, the reactions of the tribal population and the consequences of changes in India’s tribal policies are more or less treated as secondary. This article attempts to explore this by tracing the origin of the Capital City of Arunachal Pradesh, which was established a decade after the conflict, and its establishment as a political statement of the Indian government and the natives alike.
