ABSTRACT: Meghalaya was created on January 21, 1972. Prior to its creation, Meghalaya was a part of Assam. The border dispute stems from the Meghalaya government’s refusal to accept the Assam Reorganization (Meghalaya) Act of 1969. There are at present 12 points of dispute along the Meghalaya–Assam border covering an area of 2,765.14 sq. km. Meghalaya and Assam have tried to resolve the disputes since 1969 but were unsuccessful. The dispute can be settled by using satellite mapping of the actual border locations and forming the Inter-state council to inquire and advise on disputes, discuss subjects common to all states, and make recommendations for better policy coordination. This paper wills analyze the Meghalaya-Assam border disputes. The research methodology is based on the tools of historical analysis and explanation. For this purpose, only the secondary data was confined to the research, and data was collected from books, articles, journals, magazines, related works, and the internet.
