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. -

This NS trending mountain series is cut by a number of parallel to subparallel NNE-SSW, NE-SW, and NW-SE tectonic features like faults, deformed hill ranges etc. This research work was carried out in Champhai district of eastern Mizoram, near Indo- Myanmar border. In this study, a morphotectonic analysis has been performed to know the presence of active tectonics for the region. Morphotectonic parameters were calculated for 32 basins of 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th order basins. Tuipui River had been originated near Champhai town which is supposed to be a paleo-lake. The two major rivers Tuipui and Tayo have similar entrench meander patterns which might have been controlled by some structural features. Most of the other drainage shows rectangular, trellis, oval and circular pattern along with the unique river meanders. The eastern basins of the Tuipui river mostly shows WNW highly asymmetrical (|AF|=IV) tilted basins whereas the western basins shows SE moderately asymmetrical (|AF|=III) tilted basins. -
