  • Nandini Sundar
    Interning Insurgent Populations: the buried histories of Indian Democracy Nandini Sundar Darzo (Mizoram) was one of the richest villages I have ever seen in this part of the world. There were ample stores of paddy, fowl and pigs. The villagers appeared well-fed and well-clad and most of them had some money in cash. We arrived in the village about ten in the morning. My orders were to get the villagers to collect whatever moveable property they could, and to set their own village on fire at seven in the evening. I also had orders to burn all the paddy and other grain that could not be carried away by the villagers to the new centre so as to keep food out of reach of the insurgents…. I somehow couldn’t do it. I called the Village Council President and told him that in three hours his men could hide all the excess paddy and other food grains in the caves and return for it after a few days under army escort. They concealed everything most efficiently. Night fell, and I had to persuade the villagers to come out and set fire to their homes. Nobody came out. Then I had to order my soldiers to enter every house and force the people out. Every man, woman and child who could walk came out with as much of his or her belongings and food as they could. But they wouldn’t set fire to their homes. Ultimately, I lit a torch myself and set fire to one of the houses.

  • A Concept for Union and an Identity Marker for Mizo Christians
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Journals of Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Babes-Bolyai University (Romania) SUBBTO 63, no. 2 (2018): 75-90 DOI:10.24193/subbto.2018.2.06 II. HISTORICAL THEOLOGY HEAVENLY CITIZENSHIP: A CONCEPT FOR UNION AND AN IDENTITY MARKER FOR MIZO CHRISTIANS MARINA NGURSANGZELI BEHERA* ABSTRACT. Paul, as it is well known, was a citizen of the Roman Empire and he wrote these words about citizenship to a young congregation in a Hellenistic city. The Greek word „in Philippians 3:20” he uses here is translated differently as “conservation” (KJV), as “home” and as “citizenship” in the New American Standard (NAS) translation. So, Christian citizenship is in heaven - not on earth. It is from there Christians expect their Lord and savior to come. Yet, while living on earth and waiting until He comes and while being part of the larger human community each and every one is a member of political unit, a nation or a state or a tribe. The knowledge of the heavenly citizenship gives Christians an indication where to hope for true citizenship and gives at the same time a clear indication to distinguish between “heavenly” affairs and their allegiance to worldly powers on earth. During the initial period of the history of Christianity in Mizoram in order to differentiate one’s new identity was the conviction and the declaration that one is now Pathian mi (God’s people) and vanram mi (heavenly citizen). This significant concept and understanding of what it means for the Mizo to be Christian is reflected prominently in Mizo indigenous hymns and gospel songs as well as in the preaching of the Gospel, where it is declared that one is no longer a citizen of this “earthly world” (he lei ram mi), but of the “heavenly world” (van ram mi).

  • Program of Study the Earliest Christian Missionaries to Mizoram, the State at the Southernmost Tip of India's Easternmost Fron
    Program of Study The earliest Christian missionaries to Mizoram, the state at the southernmost tip of India’s easternmost frontier, are today regional heroes. Stone memorials of their visits rise up along roadsides, their portraits hang above hospital rooms, their hair clippings are preserved behind glass. Even schoolchildren’s sports teams are named in their honour. Histories of Mizoram place these British missionaries and administrators in the foreground, while Mizos remain two-dimensional stock characters in the background. This project aims not to follow the British missionaries of the mid-1890s but rather to face them, and to turn towards the Mizo as a corrective to our usual, British perspective on Mizoram’s contact with Christianity. The introduction to Mizoram of Western biomedicine features prominently in the writings of early missionaries. However, Mizo responses to it, whether as a technology of health or as a missionary tool of salvation, have not yet been investigated. Unlike the usual focus on religious ‘worldviews’, medicine provides us with a limited and concrete case study, but one just as intensely wrapped up in religiosity, both Christian and Mizo. As historian David Hardiman notes, mission medicine “was not carried out for a purely medical purpose, but used as a beneficent means to spread Christianity.”1 Indeed, in Mizoram it was at the missionaries’ medicine dispensary itself that the names of those wishing to become Christians were to be handed in.2 At the same time, author C. G. Verghese rightly points out that
