@Reality Bytes The Lushais (Mizo's) are Independent tribes till the British annexed and proclaimed as a part of dominions on the 6th September, 1895. (Vide proclamation-Gazette of India, September, 7, 1895). The concept of absolute state ownership of lands was prevalent in the Lushai Hills during the Chief’s rule. The Mizo Chief regarded himself as the absolute proprietor of all lands within his territorial jurisdiction (Lal ram).The British Army Lushai Expedition of 1871 to 1872 was a punitive incursion under the command of Generals Brownlow and Bourchier. The objectives of the expedition were to rescue British subjects who had been captured by the Lushais in raids including a six-year-old girl called Mary Winchester. On the 1st April, 1898 the Lushai Hills District was formed and placed under the administration of the Chief Commissioner of Assam Col. J. Shakespear. The then Superintendent of the Lushai Hills District, formulated the Land settlement policy which envisaged that each chief would get certain area within which his people or subject could move about and cultivate land as they like. In doing so the area under each chief and his people was clearly demarcated. The British Officers left the land revenue system as they found it. The entire area that formed the domain of the chief was known as ‘Ram’. The superintendents of the then Lushai Hills District recognized the right of the chiefs. The whole territory of Lushai Hills district was divided into 16 circles with an officer in charge and one interpreter posted in each circle. The interpreter’s duty was to facilitate smooth relations between a chief and the officer in-charge of the circle. The circle officers were responsible to the superintendent of the District. The Superintendent on behalf of the Government, was empowered to interfere in the demonstration of the chiefs only when they went beyond their respective jurisdictions. Practically, the system of chieftainship was not stable and strong as it was in the Pre-British days in Mizoram.

READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND THE REPORT CAN PORTRAY A DIFFERENT STORY. Mizoram MP didnt say that any Assamese will be killed... He said "If they come into our territory again, we shall kill them all". The MP was talking about the particular incident and refering it to the police forces and not any assamese. Such sensitive statement should be quoted and not twisted and interpreted in ur own terms. I've always been amused with his meticulous style of picking words used in his reports, but this time there seems to be inconsistency may be for some reason or may be not. And what is this Small State Syndrome about? Bringing up that hypothetical term and associating it with Pakistan, is indirectly pointing to the direction that Mizoram has a Small State Syndrome and is just like pakistan. That's already every reason for people to hate mizoram. Well the knowledge of history and NE seem to be factually accurate but there seem to be a hint of biasness that clevery string together the facts.

@@srinivasvyasarao1708 Hello mate, the reason people do not want ILP removed is mainly because of the bad examples that we see. For instance, Tripura has just about 25% of its original tribe now and Assam as around 40% assamese tribe and the fact that they have not turned these areas into Bangalore or like Noida, but instead it has turned into over populated, polluted and corrupted areas... Bangalore flourished because it became the IT hub, the acceptance of other people came after that.. See, if the 'look-east policy' such as connecting India to South East Asia through Mizoram is to be a success, then people would definitely wont mind because big companies or educated and best Indian would come. But as of now, who do we get? the immigrants from Bangladesh? I dont think the people want that as we have seen in Tripura and Assam, plus this way, we can still have this green healthy and environmentally clean state with natural beauty.

Another brilliant piece from Shekhar Gupta,thank you for bringing to light the basic issues. I do want to rectify one thing though,in the statement made in front of parliament house ,the Mizoram MP Vanlalvena was specifically refering to the Assam police personnel and not civilians. His statement was 'Assam police more than 200 of them entered Mizoram territory and they pushed back our policemen from our own post and they gave firing order first before we fired at them, they are lucky that we didn't kill them all ,if they come again we shall kill them all.' Assamese living in Mizoram are safe and sound,in fact i just came back from my regular evening walk with my friend Sanjay Das a Bengali gentleman from silchar,assam and one flat of my three-story house is rented by an Assamese youngman who has a transport business carrying goods from Guwahati and Silchar

[@vanlalthakimachawngthu3879]

Very informative and I really (almost fully) enjoyed this one. Being a native from my homeland/state, I am inspired to share a few points from my perspective with someone I believe worth sharing with. First, I would like to use the word indigenous /original inhabitants. Because being an original inhabitants of the land implies to us that the land is our ancestral land (or ancestral motherland) and the land is ours particularly because it has always been ruled and occupied by us right from our fore fathers. This brings us to the second point. Second, the word 'carved out' is sometimes a little insulting. (eventhough though I know it was un-intentional). Since we consider our ancestral land as a hard earned motherland , a land that was fought and earned by the sweat and blood of our fore fathers. It is insulting when someone talks about it as a slice of cake that was freely given to us. Please note that any original inhabitant in Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal, Meghalaya or anywhere else in the world will feel offended if someone describes their ancestral land as a slice of cake given freely to them. This bring us to the third point. Third point names like Assam or NEFA are names used by outsiders and they are foreign lands to us. For us is was never NEFA or Assam (or Part of it) our ancestral land is always our land. Just as Scotland belongs to the Scots or Wales belongs to the Welsh.(And they were not carved out of England.) Similarlly, Nagaland , Mizoram (Literally Mizo land) belongs to the original inhabitants. Fourthly, the concept of being an Indian and a native. Just as the American Indians would have felt that America was their Ancestral homeland. (The fact that they lost to the Europeans is irrelevant because for them America will always be their ancestral land). Similarly, for us (or any other original inhabitan, our ancestral land is our motherland. It is like living in a smaller motherland within a larger motherland i.e. India. Just as the Americian Red Indian is no lesser an American Citizen. And a Scottish or a welsh is no lesser a British Citizen. We are as Indian as any other Indian on the mainland and it is rather insulting when someone thinks we are not Indians or tell us to leave India and go our home land.

[@michael_inGod]

I admire your honest attempt to be helping in these trying times. I'd like to add that Mizoram was never curved out of Assam. Mizoram was an independent country for the last thousands of years untill it was defeated by the Britishers in 1890. Mizoram was a colony of British just like India till 1947. Suddenly in 1947 the British gave independence to India and Mizoram which was separated into three parts for divide and rule policy plus administrative convenience by the British continued - present Mizoram with India, Chittagong Hills Tracts with Bangladesh and Chin Hills with Myanmar. The Zo People dreams is a united Zoland combining all these three segments of Zoram.

[@somuingty6158]

By and large the analysis is quite correct but there are certain mistakes. The question of these states being carved out of Assam. The language somewhat seems to suggest that Assam was magnanimous by giving their land for these states. This is quite wrong. These states already had their own semi governments called District Council's and this approach was also during the British times. I would rather say these states left the Assam state. Secondly you have missed out the fact that the particular Forest reserve was actually under the then Lushai Hills District Council looked after by Assam Forest Dept as the District Council did not have a forest department. And was never handed back when the Mizoram was formed.

Even in Vairengte, in the Mizoram side, the area is populated by Hmar communities of Mizoram who have been driven out of Mizoram by Lushais during the height of Mizo Insurgency and hence their insecurity till today. Significant Hmar migrants from Mizoram can be found in Cachar and Dima Hasao District of Assam today.

[@Bah_francissyiemlieh7816]

Shekhar sir, I respect you a lot. But this analysis of yours concerning the NE States complexity lacks inclusiveness and conclusiveness, you forgot certain crucial prehistoric/pre British regime issues. For instance, Meghalaya was never ever a State within India, it was totally an independent Kingly nation/country of its own; and I think Mizoram, Nagaland etc too were of the same position like Meghalaya esp. the Khasi/Hynñiewtrep Race/People. It was the White Political Devils from Europe (WPDE) that have doomed us into this chronic malady of being crafted/grafted into Assam and India. Formerly we were a proud Khasi Race but now we have been reduced into a mere Tribal Community of India through the FORCED INSTRUMENT OF ACCESSION etc etc and the Constitution of India. So, in my understanding, the WPDE and the Constitution Framers of India are the Maha Culprits for all the mess of the NE States. Simple as that! Now, with Hindutva-BJP (Brutal Justice Politics) as GOI and NEDA as BJP's Project for the NE States with HE-MAN-TA Sarma as its (NEDA!) boss, BJP's hypocrisy has come to light. BJP's secret agenda is NOT National Interest, BUT Hindutva-BJP's interest. Now, to worsen our sentiment and bitterness, We Christians are being insulted by the arrogant Hindu bigots as "Rice Beggers" when we were never ever at all believers in Hinduism. Our Doxological Faith is 'God Almighty the Creator of all things' since time immemorial. However, you understand better than the crafty/cunning Indian Politicians about the many many complex issues of the People of NE Modern India. Keep it up, sir!

Haha..the world knows that Myanmar are facing hardship because of the military coup and the agression shown by their military forces against their own people..the people seek refuge to neighbouring countries..but BJP ruled India refuses to accept them as refugees..on the other hand there has been a continual efforts on the part of the BJP led Govt. to.give illegal Bangladeshi immigrants citizenship in India..do you see the irony here?

Mr.Shekhar Gupata is well informed, not biased and a legend in news reporting and facts..he even knows that Meghalaya is not far away from Assam when many are still confused between Ceylon and Shillong.

Mizoram MP's statement was addressed towards illegal encroachment and the travel advisory appears to be a disguise for the economic blockade which the bigger neighbour continues to deny is happening....another interesting discourse👍

@@venugopalbk4144 Mizo killed the Assam force and inviting Myanmar refugee! it’s simple, the Assam force comes with fully armed, lathi charge and fired the civilians, the Mizo force didn’t have other choice but to fire back… whereas the Myanmar refugee didn’t come with armed and never threatened the Mizo’s. They come in searching of peace.. that’s why they are invited /welcome in the state…not only that, they got helped by the community/NGO’s in every possible way. Remember Mizos love peace, as long as you don’t threaten the people and disturb the peace of that region, everyone is always welcome in the state.. Please note that, there are many Assamese living peacefully in the state, while their govt issued travel advisory against the Mizoram… Answer me why/how the Assam force overrun the CRPF (a neutral force)and Mizoram police post?.

There is a demand for katchatheevu in TN from the time they have given it to sl. There have been debates in the state assembly related to it. TN fishermen think that having this Island as border could save fishermen from being captured by srilankan navy as there have been cases of srilankan navy capturing TN fishermen saying that they have crossed the maritime border
