Below is the article summary. For the full article, see Arunachal Pradesh.

Arunachal Pradesh, State, extreme northeastern India. Area: 32,333 sq mi (83,743 sq km). Population: (2011) 1,382,611. Capital: Itanagar. It is bordered by Bhutan, the Tibet Autonomous Region of China, Myanmar, and Nagaland and Assam states. Known under the British Indian government as the North East Frontier Agency, the region became Arunachal Pradesh union territory in 1972 and was granted statehood in 1987. The border between China and India there is disputed, as China does not recognize the McMahon Line as the boundary between it and Arunachal Pradesh. The state incorporates major ranges of the Himalaya foothills and has a rugged terrain. The population consists of many ethnic groups who speak dialects of the Tibeto-Burman languages.
