Answer 1

Purvachal, also called Eastern Highlands, mountain ranges in eastern India. They extend over an area of about 37,900 square miles (98,000 square km) in Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, and eastern Assam states. The Patkai and other associated mountain ranges (including the Mishmi, Naga, Manipur, Tripura, and Mizo hills) that run through this region are referred to collectively as Purvachal (purva, “east,” and achal, “mountain”). The area is bounded by Bangladesh to the southwest, Myanmar (Burma) to the southeast, and China to the northeast. The Hindu epic the Mahabharatahas several references to the region. The Purvachal was ruled by the Ahoms from the beginning of the 13th century. It was occupied by the British in the last quarter of the 19th century.
