摘要
Located on the disputed border with China, Arunachal Pradesh is the most remote of India's northeastern states. Christianity is growing there-from 1 percent in 1971 to 30 percent in 2011-but that number may have reached a plateau. Arunachal Pradesh is undergoing rapid sociocultural change. While Hinduism is not well-established in the region, there is tremendous interest in a relatively new religion called Donyi-Polo. Some Hindus argue Donyi-Polo is actually a branch of Hinduism, and they are having some success in making this claim. This article explores the changing religious, political, and cultural dynamics of Arunachal Pradesh.
