All gathered around to reconstruct Mizo history

A daylong International Workshop on “Priorities and Challenges to historical research in Mizoram” was held in Seminar Hall, Life Science Building conducted by Department of History of PUC. Prof Willem Van Schendel a dutch social scientist a professor of modern Asian history at the University of Amsterdam was the main resource person and Dr Joy Pachuau Associate Professor at JNU Delhi was another resource person.

This important academic deliberation was blessed by participation of research scholars from various Universities who actively participated throughout the proceeding. The British Library team with a presentation led by Kyle Jackson and Dr. H. Vanlalhruaia also mark the occasion.

The workshop addressed on one very vital issue theory and methodology in Mizo history writing. The concept of “Zomia” coined by the Professor himself and how we can incorporate this concept into our understanding of our past. This concept is popularised after the publication of Yale professor’s James Scott “The Art of not being Governed: An Anarchist history of upland Southeast Asia” As explained by the Convener on the concept “Zomia” he explained that Scott teases out the obverse of state-making and disrupts long-held views of hill peoples as “pre-state”. The Art of Not Being Governed confronts us with a “radically different approach to history that views events from the perspective of state-less people and redefine state-making as a form of internal colonialism”. Virtually everything about the communities inhabiting the “zomia” - their social structure, agricultural practices, belief system, orality - are/were designed to escape state or thwart state springing up within them. For example, Scott argument, “agricultural practices are not ecologically given, but are political choice”, disjuncts conventional notion of shifting agriculture as pre-wet agriculture. This is a history of communities who chose to keep the state at arm’s length.” The theme was addressed by Prof Willem Van Schendel.

The workshop was divided into four sessions with session one themed The Concept of “Zomia” new challenges to our understanding of history. Dr. Cherrie Lalnunziri Chhangte, Assistant Professor of English presented on "Literature and Zomia" followed by Dr. Samuel V.L. Thlanga, Asst. Prof of Aizawl West College, on Zomia in text and context. The second Session was themed “Research themes in the writing of the history of Mizoram. Dr. Malsawmliana, Asst. Prof of Govt. T Romana College have a discussion on Ethnography, Fieldwork and Archaeology, followed by a photo presentation titled “History and Archive” by Dr. H. Vanlalhruaia & Mr. Kyle Jackson of EAP British Library and Dr. Benjamin Ralte, Asst. Professor of Govt. T. Romana College also talks on “Biographical research in History”.

Another presentations are Irene Lalruatkimi of Asst. Professor and Head i/c Department of Mass Communication, MZU on “Challenges in Media Research: A Study of DDK RNU Aizawl” Joseph K. Lalfakzuala a Research Scholar, CPS, JNU on “Recapturing the Past: The Nature of “Nation” Formation within the Mizo frame work” Lalmalsawma Khiangte, Asst. Prof. Govt. Zawlnuam College on "Identity and the Writings of History."

The last session is a review by Esther Laltlankimi, Faculty PUC On Willem’s- A Politics of Nudity: Photographs of the ‘Naked Mru’ of Bangladesh and Lalrameng K. Gangte, Faculty PUC On Willem’s Stateless in South Asia: The Making of the India- Bangladesh Enclaves. The session was concluded by Prof Willem summing up the future prospects for Mizo research in history.

It's a four letter word
a place you go to heal your hurt
It's an alter, it's a shelter
One place you're always welcome
a pink flamingo, double wide
One bedroom in a high rise
a mansion on a hill
Where the memories always will
keep you company
whenever you're alone
after all of my running
I'm finally coming Home

Home
The world tried to break me
I found a road to take me
Home
There ain't nothing but a blue sky now
After all of my running
I'm finally coming
Home

Well they say its where the heart is
and I guess the hardest part is
when your heart is broken
and you're lost out in the great wide open
looking for a map
finding your way back

to where you belong
well that's where I belong

Home
The world tried to break me
I found a road to take me
Home
There ain't nothing but a blue sky now
After all of my running
I'm finally coming
Home

Home...

A song deidicated to the Japanese for their recent tragedy

What's going on in the world today.....

Nobody really cares so why should you?

Here's the answer

Revolt of 1857

The Revolt of 1857 marked the completion of the first hundred years of British rule in India. The period was witnessed an extensions of political power and economic exploitation. It created dissatisfaction and distrust both among the Indian elite and the masses. As about the nature of the rebellion, there is also considerable controversy regarding actual causes. Historian both British and Indian, have over emphasized the importance of military grievances and the greased cartridge affair. But recent research has established beyond doubts that the “greased cartridge” was not only the cause or only important. On the contrary there are a variety of causes: Political, social, religious and economic which combined to produce the rebellion.

After the battle of Plassey and Buxar the East India Company steadily proceeded to gain control over the Indian native states. With Dalhousie’s Doctrine of lapse the policy of annexation reached its culmination. Under this doctrine, Indian rulers under British protection suspended their native armies, instead maintaining British troops within their states. They surrendered control of their foreign affairs to the British. In return, the East India Company would protect them from the attacks of their rivals. In the course of eight years Dalhousie annexed eight states. He abolished pension to Nana Saheb of the adopted son of Peshwa Baji Rao II was dislike by the Hindus. His proposal to remove the Mughal Emperor Bahadur II from his ancestral place in Delhi created suspicion among the Hindus. Lord Canning even declared that the title of the Mughal emperor would be abolished after the death of bahadur Shah and his place would be taken over by the British. The titles of the rulers of Karnataka, Tanjore and Travancore were abolished
