Permanent resident certificate protests in Arunachal Pradesh - Economic & Political Weekly - 61(19), May 9, 2026: p.29-35

In Arunachal Pradesh, the politicisation of indigeneity and an exclusivist governing regime have sharpened divisions between indigenous and non-indigenous groups. This article examines the 2019 Itanagar protests against extending permanent resident certificates to non-indigenous communities, arguing that such contention arises from perceived threats to indigenous rights, state responses, and the mobilisation capacity of civil society organisations.- Reproduced
