Beyond the Myth is a powerful "eye-opener" against the distorted narratives that have long overshadowed the Chakma and Hajong communities of Arunachal Pradesh. Written by Arunjit Chakma, a member of the Chakma community, this book exposes how politically motivated myths-rooted in biased sources-have infiltrated academia and society, reducing these communities to dehumanizing labels such as "refugee," "illegal immigrant," and "foreigner." Through a blend of personal insight and rigorous analysis, Chakma challenges these falsehoods, reveals their damaging impact on both perception and policy, and calls for a new narrative that honours the communities' resilience and centuries-old ties to the land, urging readers to embrace a more equitable and truthful understanding.
