The book’s author Bolet Tayeng, a member of Radang Sirum describes the history of Borguli village since September 1950 where the village was established first at Pekar Pumi area, a kilometre away in the north-west of present Borguli village before the village was shifted to present location in 1951. As per the book, the name of Borguli village was derived from a big cycled and rotating part of a river (‘Bor’ and ‘Guli’ in Assamese and ‘Asi Siel’ in local Adi dialogue).
Post 1950 major earthquake the people of present Borguli who first settled in the Pekar Pumi area for around a year approached the then Asst. Political Officer office (now Dy. Commissioner’s office) for relief ration drop led by late Modon Perme.
For the earthquake relief drop, the official from the then APO office Pasighat needed the name of the village to register, so the village name was given as Borguli derived from the big cycling and rounding part of a river which could be identified by the ration sortie Helicopter from the air and so name of Borguli came into record on 17th October 1950.

Both Bormoty Yirang Dai and Palonty Yirang Tayeng were born and brought up at Borguli village who later went to become the first lady graduate (Dai) and 2nd lady teacher (Tayeng) from the state thereby marking a history in the state where lady education was a kind of taboo in those years.
Both Dai and Tayeng who are old now candidly recall the tough life in those days and how their parents toiled to let them study when other people discouraged their daughters to go to school in order to help the family in agricultural works.
Both Dai and Tayeng said that their students became who and who of modern Arunachal Pradesh after they became teachers. The lady torch bearers of the state and particularly of Borguli village appealed to the villagers of the village to maintain brotherhood and cooperation in order to live happily and unitedly while acknowledging the team Radang Sirum to compile and write the book in Adi.
