ABSTRACT: Citizenship in a modern democratic society is a legal status granted by the government. It provides a universal set of rights, like the right to equality, right to freedom, right against exploitation, right to freedom of religion, and right of constitutional remedies. A few of the associated rights are the freedom of speech, expression, movement, residence, and work within any part of the country as a citizen. However, in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, a northeastern state of India, the case is unique. The idea of Citizenship in this region is somewhat different from the commonly established set of ideas about Citizenship. The state is safeguarded with various protective measures under the Indian Constitution. This empowers the tribal people and limits the rights of outsiders. The protective provision like Inner Line Permit System (ILPS) and Article 371(H), which have been used to protect the indigenous people from being exposed to or exploited by an outsider, is now being questioned. The abrogation of article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and enactment of the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019, has made the ethnic population suspicious about their future. This study explores the concept of Citizenship and its applicability in the state of Arunachal Pradesh through the available academic literature and commentaries on the empirical realities in the local newspapers, magazines, online websites, and other publications. This Article argues that prevailing primordial ethnic ties prevail over the idea of Citizenship in the state.
