  • 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.

  • Landslide Hazard Zonation (LHZ) of Saiha District, Mizoram, India Using
    ISSN xxxx xxxx © 2016 IJESC Research Article Volume 6 Issue No. 7 Landslide Hazard Zonation (LHZ) Of Saiha District, Mizoram, India Using Remote Sensing and GIS Lalrokima Chenkual1, Lalbiakmawia, F2 Laltanpuia, Z D3 Disaster Management Centre, Administrative Training Institute, Aizawl, Mizoram, India1 Public Health Engineering, Aizawl, Mizoram, India2 Directorate of Science & Technology Aizawl, Mizoram, India3 Abstract: Saiha district, Mizoram is prone to natural hazards like landslide, earthquake, etc. Landslide is one of the natural disasters, which involves sliding of mass of earth or rock down the slope along a definite zone or surface. Landslide Hazard Zonation may be defined as a technique of classifying an area into zones of relative degrees of potential hazards by ranking various causative factors operative in a given area based on their influence in initiation of landslides. Landslide Hazard Zonation map is prepared based on the integration of data acquired from various geo-environmental thematic databases. Combining various controlling parameters by giving different weightage value for all the themes, the final map is derived in a GIS environment on 1:50,000 scale. The area and the map is then classified into Very high, High, Moderate, Low and Very low hazard zones. Very High Hazard Zone constitutes an area of 138.44sq. km and forms 9.89% of the total district area and High Hazard Zone occupies 340.85sq. km which is 24.35% of the total district area while Moderate Hazard Zone constitute an area of about about 598.07sq. km and occupies 42.72% of the total district area; Low Hazard Zone extends over an area of about 279.47sq.

  • Carrying Capacity Analysis in Mizoram Tourism

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.

  • Cultural Factors of Christianizing the Erstwhile Lushai Hills (1890-1940)
    Mizoram University Journal of Humanities & Social Sciences (A Bi-Annual Refereed Journal) Vol IV Issue 2, December 2018 ISSN: 2395-7352 eISSN:2581-6780 Cultural Factors of Christianizing the erstwhile Lushai Hills (1890-1940) Zadingluaia Chinzah* Abstract Alexandrapore incident became a turning point in the history of the erstwhile Lushai Hills inhabited by simple hill people, living an egalitarian and communitarian life. The result of the encounter between two diverse and dissimilar cultures that were contrary to their form of living and thinking in every way imaginable resulted in the political annexation of the erstwhile Lushai Hills by the British colonial power,which was soon followed by the arrival of missionaries. In consolidating their hegemony and imperial designs, the missionaries were tools through which the hill tribes were to be pacified from raiding British territories. In the long run, this encounter resulted in the emergence and escalation of Christianity in such a massive scale that the hill tribes with their primal religious practices were converted into a westernised reli- gion. The paper problematizes claims for factors that led to the rise of Christianity by various Mizo Church historians, inclusive of the early generations and the emerging church historians. Most of these historians believed that waves of Revivalism was the major factor in Christianizing the erstwhile Lushai Hills though their perspectives or approach to their presumptions are different. Hence, the paper hypothesizes that cultural factors were integral to the rise and growth of Christianity in the erstwhile Lushai Hills during 1890-1940 as against the claims made before. Keywords : ‘Cultural Factors of Conversion,’ Tlawmngaihna, Thangchhuah, Pialral, Revivals.

Serletis [email protected] Deputy Project Leader Brian Allen [email protected] Laura Bloodgood, Joanna Bonarriva, John Fry, John Giamalva, Katherine Linton, Brendan Lynch, and Marin Weaver Primary Reviewers Alexander Hammer and Deborah McNay Office of Economics Michael Ferrantino, Jesse Mora, Jose Signoret, and Marinos Tsigas Administrative Support Phyllis Boone, Monica Reed, and Wanda Tolson Under the direction of Jonathan R. Coleman, Chief Agriculture and Fisheries Division Abstract This report describes and analyzes policies and other factors that affect U.S. agricultural exports to India. The findings suggest that India’s high agricultural tariffs are a significant impediment to U.S. agricultural exports and that certain Indian nontariff measures (NTMs), including sanitary and phyosanitary measures, substantially limit or effectively prohibit certain U.S. agricultural products. Agriculture is vital to India’s economy, accounting for a substantial share of employment (60 percent) and GDP (17 percent).
