Arunachal Pradesh is a state of India, located in the far northeast.
It borders the states of Assam and Nagaland to the south,
and shares international borders with Myanmar in the east, Bhutan in the west, and the PRC in the north.

never accepted by the Chinese government until 1950.

Itanagar is the capital of the state.

It is also known as 'the land of the rising sun' (Pradesh means state or region) in reference to its position
as the eastern most state of India.
