Arunachal Pradesh’s history is an amalgamation of myths, inter-tribe, inter-village, inter-clan and intra-tribal wars, slavery, colonial intrusion, and administrative policies. It is a complicated saga of social and cultural transition. Arunachal Pradesh is a preliterate society; hence, the state's past can be traced through the oral memory and accounts of travellers and visitors of the colonial era and Buranjis. The Buranjis and colonial accounts recorded historical landmark events in a non-linear narrative way. Oral memory in the form of myths and legends represents the collective belief that answers the questions of Why, What and How of tribal lives. But with the death of the previous generation, oral memories began to be lost. Engaging in fact and fiction Dai re-imagines the past of Arunachal Pradesh in her fiction. She humanizes history by intricately unravelling the stories of those unhistorical men and women who witnessed the effects of historical events in their lives. By delving into the history she adds to our understanding of the enigmatic past and chaotic present of Arunachal Pradesh. Therefore, in the present paper, the researcher has attempted to study Mamang Dai’s Escaping the Land in light of a historical perspective.
