Demand ‘Territorial Council’ for the Zo Peoples

THE MIZO Students’ Union (MSU) and the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (Mizo Students’ Association/ MZP) are thrill on hearing the political development for the entire Zo people that the two organisations of Kuki National Organisation (KNO) and United Peoples’ Front (UPF) are united in one accord for political settlement and thereby a series of tripartite political talks have been going on with the representatives of Government of India, Government of Manipur and the negotiating team of both the KNO and UPF.

MSU and MZP sent letter to KNO and UPF collective leaderships saying “not to miss the chance for long-lasting solution of the political problem of the whole of Zo peoples under the present Manipur State”.

Here is the Letter dated the 23rd August, 2018.

To,

The President, Kuki National Organisation (KNO)

The Chairman, United People’s Front (UPF)

Subject: Territorial Council for the Zo Peoples.

Dear Zo Brothers,

We, the Mizo Students’ Union (MSU) and the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (Mizo Students’ Association) [MZP] are thrill on hearing the political development for the entire Zo people that the two organisations of Kuki National Organisation (KNO) and United Peoples’ Front (UPF) are united in one accord for political settlement and thereby a series of tripartite political talks have been going on with the representatives of Government of India, Government of Manipur and the negotiating team of both the KNO and UPF.

We have learnt from a reliable source that the KNO and the UPF submitted a joint Memorandum to the Government of India for a separate state, however the government is ready only for Territorial Council under the provisions of the Sixth Schedule. For that matter, the KNO and UPF constituted a Drafting Committee for the Autonomous Territorial Council (ATC). As per our understanding, the draft was submitted with consensus, focusing on the powers and functions for the proposed ATC rather than the vexed and contesting names for the Territorial Council since the Zo peoples in Manipur were called by different names. We were hopeful that the ATC would be given an appropriate name with consensus which is rooted in our culture.

When, on June 29, 2018, the KNO and UPF came up with two proposed names viz. Khul Territorial Council and Zalengam Territorial Council for discussion with civil society organisations, we were hopeful of a lasting solution for our brethren in Manipur. However, such hope was short lived by the meeting on July 10, 2018 at Kangpokpi where the KNO leaders backtracked on the earlier decision with regard to the name for the Territorial Council. To us, all these is also very perturbing.

We were worried that the KNO and UPF would separately approach the Government of India which may be seen as a sign of disunity among the Zo peoples which may impair the process of our cherished political negotiation.

Thus, we feel oblige to write letters of same contents to President of KNO, the Chairman of UPF, the Convener and the Joint Convener of Negotiating Team of KNO-UPF as it is critically important that you would stand firm on the bond of unity in the truest spirit to take the task of Zo nation-building process forward.

And, it is desirable from our point of view, if there is no consensus between KNO and UPF, the Name of the Territorial Council includes the term ‘Zo’ as it appears to be acceptable to all Zo-fate (Zo-descendants). In fact, all of us accept that we are an entity culturally, but due to various names by which we were known and called ourselves, we cannot transmute cultural entity into political entity. lt also appears to be most relevant in promoting Zo brotherhood and unity, not only who are living in the present State of Manipur alone but also the Zo Peoples all over the world. It is our firm belief that our Zo brothers in Manipur under KNO and UPF would become the torch-bearers in leading the project of Zo nation-building by adopting a name for their proposed Territorial Council which is in consonance with the vision of a shared future for all Zo peoples. We ask of them to imprint ‘Zo’ as a political recognition for our people in Manipur. Unity and brotherhood is our top priority in the Zo Nation building process not the variations or names of different groups. We are, indeed, inseparable and not detachable but connected in spite of artificial boundaries.

We, fervently beseech to the KNO and UPF collective leaderships not to miss the chance for long-lasting solution of the political problem of the whole of Zo peoples under the present Manipur State. It is our view that territorial council for the Zo people in Manipur is an important beginning step in realization of our ultimate political goal and rights, the Re-Unification. If we fail to make the right decision it will take generations to really correct the mistake and we will miss forever the cherished dream of Zo reunification.

May the Almighty God be with you and guide you throughout this crucial juncture.

Zou Gaal song composer Pu Mangzathang passes away

ONE of the greatest ZO song composers and history tellers, Pu Mangzathang passed away at his home in Zoveng, Zenhang-Lamka, Manipur, on Sunday morning, 26th July, 2015.

Pupu Mangzathang Suantak Dopmul of Zoveng, born on 27 September 1921 (as recorded in his army I-card), served in the British Army as a soldier in Burma during the Second World War. He recounted that during the invasion of Mandalay City, he had pulled down a national flag and handed it over to his superior, yet he was neither awarded nor acknowledged. Nevertheless, he remained a freedom fighter until his last breath.

He was the second eldest son of the late Pu Goulian, among three siblings -- his eldest brother, Pu Thangchinkhup, and his sister, Pi Niangzam (wife of the late Khupchinkam Mate, Chief of Tuibuang Village).

"Be bold and be brave, but be very clever in whatever you do," he advised me last year while we shared a cup of tea. He was an ex-serviceman, proud to have served as a brave soldier in the Chin Regiment. He refused my treat that day, choosing instead to treat me -- an act that turned out to be the last… says his grandson, Bruce K. Thangkhal.

Drawing from his experiences in the imperial service, he composed numerous Zo folk songs with strong political undertones.

Our Correspondent MOREH, MAY 17, 2013--- A two-day seminar on Zou Language, Literature, Culture & Custom was held at Broder Trade Centre Hall in Moreh. The seminar was a joint collaboration of United Zo Organisation (USA), Zou Literature Society, Manipur (India) and UZO, Moreh Block. Chairman of ADC Chandel district M. Lhukhosei Zou inaugurated the seminar on May 15 which was concluded on May 16. Forty five Zou delegates from India and 26 from Myanmar participated in the seminar. The resource persons comprised of a retired senior surgeon Dr. M. Lachinkhai, Chairman ZLS, Rev. Fr. Mark Thangkhanai Vice-Chairman ZLS and Co-ordinator of Radio Veritas Asia (Zomi-Chin Service), Aloysius T. Nehkhojang, Secy ZLS, advocate Chinlunthang, Gen Secy, UZO and Suankhanmang, Adviser, UZO.  From the Myanmar side, Tamu Parish priest Rev. Fr. Andrew Cin Go Lian, Kalaymyo KZBC pastor Rev. Go Cin Lang, Zou Synod (PCM) Yangoon pastor Rev. Ai Lien Mang and Kalaymyo ZBA Mission Director Rev. Thang Khan Khai has also presented seminar papers. "The Zou people in Myanmar and abroad used it as 'ZO' while their brethrens in India used 'ZOU' since longtime ago.  Now the importance of having common literature and uniformity of its usages is felt among the Zous in India and Myanmar", said a well-known Zou writer and a participant, Syanlyan Tungnung, while speaking to our correspondent over telephone today. He added that a declaration on consistent uniformity in Zou Language, Literature, Custom and Culture has been made on the concluding day. In Manipur, Zou is one of the recognized tribes. According to the Zou people, the word 'Zou' or 'Zo' is believed to be the progenitor of today's Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi tribes which are predominantly found in Northeast India – Manipur, Mizoram, Assam and Tripura (Jampui hill ranges), Chittangong Hills Tract (Bangladesh) and Chin Hills (Myanmar). The year 2001 was a remarkable year for the Zou community, Zou MIL for Class IX was recognised by BSEM for the first time. The Zou MIL for Class X to XII has been introduced in 2002, 2006 and 2007 respectively.   Source:  The Mizoram Post, Aizawl, Saturday 18th May, 2013, Pg. 3 [www.themizorampost.net] ~ Joint Editor, ZOGAM TODAY ZOGAL Links ZOUGAL (1917-1919): Dr David Vumlallian Zou The Unforgettable Warriors: Zou Resistance Against the British Zou Gal Day 2011: A Historic First Observed in Delhi and Manipur THE LAST TEARS OF ZOUGAAL ~ Hausienmuan Munluo Zous celebrate Zogal Day in Manipur ZOU GAL DAY: LAMKA & DELHI Delhi leh Lamka khopi ah Zou Gal Day thupitah in kizang Zogal Memorial Shield 2015: Football Final ZOGAL DAY OBSERVANCE-cum-KIHANTOHNA 2025 Invitation to Zou Gal Day Observation at Delhi and Lamka Khopi Zou Raid Threats 1918 Letters: Chief Luanvunga’s Plea | British Records Zogal kaap te'n Mizo khuo Chingbung leh Loannbung luh sawmna thu | British Records The Zou as a Minority Community Zou Gaal song composer Pu Mangzathang passes away Zou Gal (1917-19) leh Chivu: Dr S Thangboi Zou ZOUGAL TANCHIN TOMKIM: DR S THANGBOI ZOU ZOGAL TIMELINE **************
