Through empowerment, economic, spiritual and joining the greater world community of Christians, showing the world about your existance, history and culture, that way you break dependence on any political entity. <BR/><BR/>Build a world diaspora.

Or did the Indian Govt. fooled our past leaders to be part of India? What was the clauses of the agreement reached between the Indian Govt and the Mizo Chiefs during those times? If we look into that, the reason for the acceptance to be part of India could be in some way demystified.<BR/><BR/>You said it true that the rebellion against the Indian Govthas nothing to do with Christianity. But I agree to it only in partly that the Mizo rebellion was only due to Mautam and that it was because the Indian govt never paying any heed to the Mizos incessant pleas for food. <BR/><BR/>The rebellion also has its roots in the 'new' geo-political setup of the kindred Zo peoples that divides them in three countries, and their resentment in the failure of the Indian govt to grant them an autonomy that was probably part of the agreement and negotiation between the Mizo Chiefs and the Indian govt. when India was to gain Independence from the colonial British Empire.<BR/><BR/>Let me locate the MNF map from my archive, its somewhere...Lalremlien Neithamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555510048402681970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191295.post-8845591943729909782007-10-19T14:36:00.000+05:302007-10-19T14:36:00.000+05:30In fact, dear Philo, I am planning to write a smal...In fact, dear Philo, I am planning to write a small article on "Separation of the Church from the State" but that will have to wait as I won't be updating my blog for a month (again)!

This I think is important because the church's statusquoist position might make it redundant in the face of 'new' problems.

A walk down memory lane regarding that post of mine :) Nah, basically thats what my post tried to analyze: How much we end up racially discriminating a particular community while raising a huge hue and cry when our own community is being discriminated. Happens with everyone. Indians as a whole (I mean the stereotype Indian: Aryan or Dravidian) complain when they are discriminated by foreigners. But at the same time, the same people racially abuse "chinkies". Again, people from the NE cry out against such discrimination, but at the same time we too are guilty of our fair share of discrimination. I write posts that are directed at both directions: about us being discriminated and also about us discriminating others. It does make me quite unpopular among our community for doing that :)<BR/><BR/>@ Jinx: I'm fortunate to have a very old dad :) He's the age of most of my friend's grandfathers. So he used to tell me about those "rambuai" days a lot... Sometimes it sounds like a fantasy novel, not able to believe that such things happened in what we now know as the most peaceful State in the North-east.Mizohicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644240783333879705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9191295.post-12610059763027278342007-10-16T19:34:00.000+05:302007-10-16T19:34:00.000+05:30Fantastic Post!

Other than 'raltlan', 'sawikhawm' and the many hardships talked about by my 'Pi and Pu' generation, (sadly) I don't have much knowledge about the history of Mizoram back then.

I know you had done a post on this long back, but I couldn't help but mention it here...<BR/> People need more awareness and sadly that doesn't seem to be happening too much... My sister's close friend is from Manipur and she got a lot of taunts from her other classmates that most of her friends were "chinkis"...
