    Journal of North East India Studies Vol. 9(1), Jan.-Jun. 2019, pp. 83-93. Centennial Year of Kuki Rising, 1917-2017: Reflecting the Past Hundred Years Seilen Haokip The year 2017 marks the centennial year of the Kuki Rising, 1917-1919. The spirit of the rising that took place during First World War, also evident in Second World War, when the Kuki people fought on the side of the Axis group, has persisted. Freedom and self-determination remain a strong aspiration of the Kukis. One hundred years on, the history of the Kukis, segmented into three parts are: a) pre-British, b) British period, and c) present-day, in post-independent India. a) The pre-British period An era of self-rule marked the pre-British period. A nation in its own right, governance of Kuki country was based on traditional Haosa kivaipo (Chieftainship). Similar to the Greek-City states, each village was ruled by a Chief. Chieftainship, a hereditary institution, was complete with an administrative structure. The essential features comprised a two-tiered bicameral system: a) Upa Innpi or Bulpite Vaipohna (Upper House) and: b) Haosa Inpi or Kho Haosa Vaipohna (Lower House). Semang and Pachong (council of ministers and auxiliary members) assisted the Chief in the day- to-day administration. Cha’ngloi (Assistant), Lhangsam (Town Crier), Thiempu (High Priest and Judge), Lawm Upa (Minister of Youth & Cultural Affairs), Thihpu (Village Blacksmith) comprisedother organs of the Government (For details read Lunkim 2013). b) The British period The British administered Kuki country through the traditional institution of Chieftainship. However, the rights of the Chiefs were substantially reduced and house tax was imposed.

  • Ethnic History and Identity of the Zo Tribes in North East India
    Journal of North East India Studies Vol. 5(1), Jan.-Jun. 2015, pp. 39-50. Ethnic History and Identity of the Zo Tribes in North East India H. Thangtungnung North East India is a hotspot of identity crisis and ethnic divisions. The Chin, Kuki, Zomi and Mizo tribes who are collectively known as Zo people are no exception. They have close cultural, lingual and religious affinities and a com- mon ancestor called Zo. Historically, they have different theories of origin and migration based on their folklores, folktales and songs narrated down from one generation to another. The different origin theories like the Khul/Chhinlung or Cave origin theory, Chin Hills origin theory and Lost tribe (Manmasi) theory are among the most significant theories so far which speak, to some extent, some- thing about their history and origin. Of late, the Lost Tribe theory has gained momentum which claims that the Zo tribes are among the ten lost tribes of Israel, particularly from the tribe of Manasseh. Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar had recognised them as descendents of Israel in 2005, which was also approved by the Israeli government. Many have consequently immigrated to the ‘Holy Land’. In this backdrop, this paper is attempts to critically analyse and assess the ethnic origin of the Zo people with special reference to the lost tribe theory. Based on cultural and oral traditions, and Biblical sources, it also attempts to support that the Zo people are the ten lost tribe of Israel by substantiating various arguments to validate this origin theory. Keywords: Zo, Khul origin theory, Chin Hills theory, Lost tribe, Manmasi Introduction The Zo people are indigenous tribes of Manipur and Mizoram in Northeast India, Bangladesh and Chin State of Myanmar.

  • Development of Local Theology of the Chin (Zomi) of the Assemblies of God (Ag) in Myanmar: a Case Study in Contextualization
    DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL THEOLOGY OF THE CHIN (ZOMI) OF THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD (AG) IN MYANMAR: A CASE STUDY IN CONTEXTUALIZATION BY DENISE ROSS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM January 2019 This thesis is dedicated firstly to my loving parents Albert and Hilda Ross from whom I got the work ethic required to complete this research. Secondly, I dedicate it to the Chin people who were generous in telling me their stories, so I offer this completed research as a reflection for even greater understanding and growth. Acknowledgements This thesis took many years to produce, and I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who encouraged and supported me throughout the often painful process. I would like to thank Edmond Tang for his tremendous supervision for several years. He challenged me, above all else, to think. I can never acknowledge or thank him sufficiently for the time and sacrifice he has invested. I would like to thank my supervisor Allan Anderson, who has been so patient and supportive throughout the whole process. I would like to acknowledge him as a pillar of Pentecostal research within the University of Birmingham, UK which has made it an international centre of excellence. It was his own research on contextual theology, especially in mission contexts, which inspired this research. I acknowledge the Chin interviewees and former classmates who willingly shared their time and expertise and their spiritual lives with me. They were so grateful that I chose their people group, so I offer this research back to them, in gratitude.

  • Who They Are
    Zomi: Who They Are Zomi[1] is the name of a major tribe found in various parts of South and South East Asia. The term Zomi meaning, Zo People[2] is derived from the generic name ‘Zo’, the progenitor of the Zomi. They are found in northwestern Myanmar, northeastern India and Bangladesh. Anthropologists classify them as Tibeto-Burman speaking member of the Mongoloid race. In the past they were little known by this racial nomenclature. They were known by the non-tribal plain peoples of Myanmar, Bangladesh and India as Chin, Kuki, or Lushai. Subsequently the British employed these terms to christen those ‘wild hill tribes’ living in the “un-admiral. They are Zomi not because they live in the highlands or hills, but are Zomi and call themselves Zomi because they are the descendants of their great great ancestor, ‘Zo'”.[3] ZomiRadio.Org Zomi: Who They Are This map is pointing out Zomi Inhabited Areas from the immemorial they occupied.

  • Militancy and Negotiations: a Study of Suspension of Operation in Manipur
    Militancy and Negotiations: A Study of Suspension of Operation in Manipur Ch. Sekholal Kom* To resolve conflict and avoid the use of force, it is said, one must negotiate - Fred C. Iklé Abstract One of the most striking features of militancy in Northeast India in general and Manipur in particular is how infrequently the two sides (Government and the militants) attempt peaceful negotiation. Very often, the government refuses to grant the militants legitimacy as a bargaining partner. On the other, militants in the region are averse to go into negotiation with the government whom they confront. However, in spite of this phenomenon, confrontations do reach a point at a certain stage where both sides agree to negotiate rather than confront each other. Remarkably, the present tripartite truce popularly known as Suspension of Operation (SoO) between the Government of India and the state government of Manipur on one side and the Kuki militants on the other turns out to be a significant development. The paper discusses how this negotiation can be attributed as a technique of alternative dispute resolution in a multi-ethnic situation particularly in a conflict-ridden state like Manipur. Right since the dawn various militant ethnic groups. of independence of the Although Naga militancy was the country, Northeast first to make its headway in the India has been witnessing a region, movements by other series of challenges such as ethnicities followed it.

Box 7, Maerim, Chiang Mai 50180, Thailand 5Natma Taung National Park, Nature and Wildlife Conservation Division, Forest Department, Kanpetlet Township, Chin State, Myanmar Introduction Myanmar is a biodiversity-rich country located to the southeast of the Himalayan region. Although a checklist by Kress et al. (2003) reported ca. 11,800 species of spermatophytes, it is still far to understand the flora of this country because of the great lack of specimens collected by Burmese and foreign botanists for a long time throughout the country. Thus, Myanmar has been called one of the botanical frontier in Asia. Under these circumstances, the Forest De- partment (FD), the Ministry of Environment Consevation and Forestry (moECAF), Union of Myanmar, and Kochi Prefectural Makino Botanical Garden (MBK) have jointly started a proj- ect “Inventory and Research Program of the Useful Plants of Myanmar” since 2000 under the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Of the six forest policy imperatives prescribed by MoECAF, the first imperative of protec- tion involves safeguarding water catchments, ecosystems, biodiversity and plant and animal genetic resources, soil, scenic reserves, and national heritage sites.

  • Towards Ethno-Linguistic Governance Khai Minthang Samte
    1 Towards Ethno-Linguistic Governance Khai Minthang Samte Introduction: The United Zou Organization defined the Zou people as, "He who speaks the Zou language and practice the Zou custom is a Zou"1 (Zou ham a ham a, UZO tawndan zuite khu Zou ahi hi). Here, the role of language and culture is indispensable in identity formation and nation building. Enquirers usually used language and culture to determine the identity of a person. During the times of the Judges in the Bible, there was also such pronunciation-based screening with the word "Shibboleth" to determine if the person was an Ephraimites or Gileadites. (Judges 12:6) Such is also true along the Indo-Burmese frontiers of Mizoram state. "R" is the determining factor to identify who belongs to the other side of the border. Once a Mizoram customs officer asked a Burmese national, "Ar ti rawh." He was said to respond, "Vok kati zawk ang." Thus, his nationality was proven. The second most important element to know people group is culture, custom and tradition. While culture changes from time to time, custom and tradition have been inherited from our progenitors from time immemorial although custom undergo modification to meet with the contemporary demand. For the most comprehensive studies of our custom, refer to the Zou Custom Book. Meanwhile, researchers suggested that culture undergo certain changes in a decade. My Mom once told me culture did not change before the advent of Christianity in Zoland. She was of the opinion that changes was brought about by the advent of Christianity on one hand and the military expedition of the British empire on the other.

  • Evading the State Ethnicity in Northeast India Through the Lens of James Scott
    Bengt G. Karlsson Stockholm University Evading the State Ethnicity in Northeast India through the Lens of James Scott This article discusses ethnicity and the state in Northeast India from the van- tage point of James Scott’s influential works, especially his recent book The Art of Not Being Governed. Scott has over the years explored different aspects of peasant or subaltern modes of opposing dominance. The overall insistence is on the resistance and agency of the peasant. In the context of the hill societ- ies that Scott deals with in the book, the entire societal design can be under- stood to be an act of resistance that aims at keeping the state away. As part of this, ethnic identities are portrayed as extremely fluid and remolded to serve political purposes. Scott’s notion of Zomia opens up a new way of thinking about Northeast India. Even so, as I argue, one still ends up thinking of the hills from the perspective of the valley and in so doing we miss aspects of the hill societies and ways of being in the world that cannot be reduced to a state- effect. If one looks more closely at these other aspects, more persistent forms of identification and a sense of belonging might come to the fore. Rather than just trying to escape from the state, people in the hills also hope for another, different, state. keywords: ethnicity—identity—India—James Scott—Zomia—resistance— the state Asian Ethnology Volume 72, Number 2 • 2013, 321–331 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture n this article I will revisit questions concerning personhood and ethnic iden- Itity.
