The last issue is almost exhausted at the moment. We are printing more copies this time and I hope, apart from our regular subscribers/admirers, new readers of Mizo Studies would appreciate the articles and literary news in this issue. We are happy to see in this issue Dr. Henry Zodinliana Pachuau’s ‘Study of the impact of insurgency on women and children in the North East’ where we can read unpopular story of those days. ‘Emergence of Political Party in Mizoram’ as told by Dr. J. Zahluna must be quite interesting for younger scholars and students. So is Ms. Lalhriatpuii’s article on ‘Demographic impact and security implications of illegal immigrations into Northeast India’ which must be quite interesting for scholars and students across the country because of the fact that illegal immigration into Northeast India is a common problem for all the states of N.E. India. Trickster tale in Mizo Folklore as given in the paper of Prof. R. Thangvunga may be considered a fresh view and I am sure, including our regular feature of translated tale of Mizo in this journal, it will be meaningful for students and scholars of today. In fact, the new generation must read all these articles and translations in order to widen their knowledge about the folk identify of the Mizos. 130 Mizo Studies July - September 2016 All other articles including an ‘Environmental Awareness of Elementary School Students and suggested measures to improve teaching of environmental education in Mizoram’ contributed by Dr. Lynda Zohmingthangi & P.C. Lalremruati attempt to highlight crucial points to note and inculcate value education in students and readers of this journal. This issue will not be tempting if there is no poem, either in Mizo or in English and also keeping record of what is happening in the department of Mizo and its related literary development. In fact, all about One-Day Theatre Festival held at Vanapa Hall on 14th September to commemorate the 89th Birth Anniversary of Padma Shri Khawlkungi (1927-2015) as reported at the end of this magazine may open up a new area of interest not to be side-lined by lovers of language and literature. The next issue will highlight the beautiful contribution and role played by the two selected writers, viz. Lalzuithanga and Khawlkungi for the enrichment of Mizo literature. Born in the year 1916, the Birth Centenary of Mizo novelist-cum-dramatist Lalzuithanga must be observed in a very meaningful manner before the end of this year. The Department of Mizo is moving forward for the celebration of his birth centenary by holding National Seminar on creative writings. Mentioning all these points, I welcome all regular readers of Mizo Studies to open the new issue. 9th September 2016 Laltluangliana Khiangte Editor-in-Chief Mizo Studies July - September 2016 131 Mizo Studies V.3 ISSN:2319-6041 © Dept. of Mizo,MZU Impact of Insurgency on Women and Children in the North-East Dr. Henry ZodinlianaPachuau * Introduction There is very little literature available on the plight of women and children in conflict situation in North East, especially with ref- erence to Mizoram. From a Human Right approach, women and children are considered vulnerable population that require special care and attention in or after conflict situations. As a result of their vulnerability, they are more at risk for being subjected to various forms of human rights violations. India’s North East has experienced a series of conflicts that is of national interest. Till today, we see sporadic forms of self-determination in the region. Though these acclaimed forms of righteous conflicts do find place among those involved in it, there has been serious consequences leading to death and atrocities against the more vulnerable population. The sensitive nature of these conflicts also creates a gap between those who are against such and stakeholders who could act as a safety valve against violations in conflict zones. * Assistant Professor, Department of Social Work, MZU. 132 Mizo Studies July - September 2016 Historical Background Chang Kien, a Chinese explorer, mentioned about India’s North East in 100 BC. Hiuen Tsang also visited the region in 7th Century. There were different ethnic groups who eventually settled in the region (ITC, 2011; Sukai, 2013). Its close vicinity with in- ternational boundaries of China, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and racial background of the people have made the area politically and socially sensitive, causing ethnic differences and conflicts and illegal immigration and entrance of refugees to the region (Pachuau 2015). The region consists of eight States popularly known as the ‘Eight Sisters’. After Independence, Assam became one of the founding States and the rest were under the political entity of Assam. In 1962 the State of Nagaland was born. In 1972 Tripura, Manipur and Meghalaya became States and Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh emerged as a Union Territory both attaining Statehood in 1987. Sikkim became a State in 1975 (Sukaiin Pachuau 2015). North East is considered to be one of the most inacces- sible regions of India. The different groups marked by over 200 different tribes face development challenges which are economi- cal, technological and sociological (Goswami, Sreekala & Goswami, 2005). Shukla Commission (1997) identified four chal- lenges in the North East – basic needs deficit, infrastructural defi- cit, resource deficit and two way deficit of understanding with the rest of the country. Guit (2011) states that North East suffer from poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, absence of health education, poor mother and child health, poor coverage of the national preventive programmes due to geographical remoteness. All North East states have experienced insurgency in one form or another as a result of internal and external factors (Pachuau, 2015). North East Scenario Women and children are often major victims of conflict. They are victimised, traumatised, exposed to horrendous condi- tions (such as harsh weather, forced migration, hunger etc.), suffer Mizo Studies July - September 2016 133 varying degrees of abuse (sexual or substance), killed, or maimed. Various reports record some of the agonies that women and chil- dren undergo in situations of war, insurgencies and conflicts. Mil- lions of children have suffered sexual violence, grave psychologi- cal trauma, malnutrition, disease and the multiple consequences of being forced to flee their homes. The impact of insurgency may be divided as follows : 1) Physical Impact: This impact include physical attacks, abductions, bomb blasts, and destruction of property. 2) Impact on Education: This impact relates to schools being closed as a result of insurgencies. 3) Social and Psychological Impact: This include sexual abuse, trauma, displacements, hunger, starvation and other depri- vations, forced marriages to their captors, trafficking, drug abuse etc. 4) Economic Impact: As result of insurgencies, economic activities get effected and destroyed. 5) Health Impact:

  • 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.

Carrying capacity is a concept that has been extensively applied in tourism and leisure studies since the 1960s, but its appearance can be date back to the 1930s. It may be viewed as an important thought in the eventual emergence of sustainability discussion, it has become less important in recent years as sustainability and its associated concepts have come to dominate planning on the management of tourism and its impacts. But the study of carrying capacity analysis is still an important tool to know the potentiality and future impact in tourism sector. Thus, up to some extent carrying capacity analysis is important study for tourist destinations and states like Mizoram. Mizoram is a small and young state with few thousands of visitors that visit the state every year.

They point to the particular historical trajectory of interaction of state-making leaders and other social forces, and the divergent authority structure that took shape, as underpinning this difference. In Manipur, where social forces retained their authority, the state’s autonomy was compromised. This affected its capacity, including that to resolve group conflicts. Here powerful social forces politicized their narrow identities to capture state power, leading to competitive mobilisation and conflicts.

Sajjad Hassan DESTIN, London School of Economics 1. Introduction Northeastern India – a compact region made up of seven sub-national states1- has historically seen high levels of violence, stemming mostly from ethnic and separatist conflicts. It was among the first of the regions, to demonstrate, on the attainment of Independence, signs of severe political crisis in the form of nationalist movements. This has translated into a string of armed separatist movements and inter-group ethnic conflicts that have become the enduring feature of its politics. Separatist rebellions broke out first in Naga Hills district of erstwhile Assam State, to be followed by similar armed movement in the Lushai Hills district of that State. Soon secessionism overtook Assam proper and in Tripura and Manipur. Of late Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh have joined the list of States that are characterised as unstable and violent. Despite the attempts of both the state and society, many of these violent movements have continued to this day with serious implications for the welfare of citizens (Table 1). Besides separatist violence, inter-group ethnic clashes have been frequent and have taken a heavy toll of life and property.2 Ethnic violence exists alongside inter-ethnic contestations, over resources and opportunities, in which the state finds itself pulled in different directions, with little ability to provide solutions.
