Against State, Against History is a radical reevaluation of the dominant civilizational narratives on the hill 'tribe'. It attempts to recast their history as state evading population in the hills who reenact their counter cultural collective to prevent state control and the emergence of domination relations in the hills. It explores the reenactment of their space, society, culture and economy in the hills and argues that promoting personal freedom in an egalitarian setting was the core concern of their cultural collective.
