Changlang, India History
During the Burma Campaign of World War II, the Changlang district was where the Ledo Road began, and a neglected World War II war cemetery can still be visited at Jairampur. It is situated nearby Indian Army Camp of Jairampur. Unlike mainland India, Britain never colonized Changlang. Changlanese natives during the silk road era knew about Tea trading and tea traders. A Singpho(they are called Jinpo or jingphaw in Myanmar and China) leader of Changlang district then (now those areas comes under upper assam) is believed to be responsible for disclosing secrets of Tea planting/cultivation/plantation to the British.
In recent times, Naga Militants (both Kaplang faction{kaplang was born as Burmese side changlanese naga} as well as Muiwa faction)who were demanding for Nagalim(Land of Naga people which includes Myanmar)had given Indian Army sleepless night.The conflict situations has cool down in past 2–3 years. Arunachal Pradesh Home ministry recently has asked Indian Army Biggies to withdraw excess army men.Changlang also suffered from lost Generation as many youngsters were abducted by naga militants to recruit in their armies, many of them never return; some of them are believed to be still fighting in Myanmar.
