Chakma Refugees and Indigenous People of Arunachal Pradesh: A Field Report on Perceptions

Abstract

This report is an attempt to know the perception of Chakma refugees and Indigenous people towards each other in the light of a long pending refugee issue. The study is primarily based on empirical data obtained from a field study in which an equal number of refugee and Indigenous respondents have been purposefully selected from eight villages each in the Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh where a maximum number of refugees are found.
