ZO RE-UNIFICATION ORGANISATION

Political Background

Before the British Colonisation, the ZO race remained undisturbed and enjoy her Fundamental freedom and no foreigner dominated the ZO country and the ZO inhabitants therein. But after the British Coloniser ruled over India for a hundred years and Burma for fifty years; they also started invading the ZO country from different corners and atlast, the British also subjugated the ZO people and divided the country with the people living therein into three different segments. Eastern ZO country was kept under Burmese Administration, Western ZO country under Bengal and central and northern parts under Assam, in 1890.

The British, seeing the wrongs that had been done to the ZO people, resolved to put the ZO devided race together again, in their historic Chin-Lushai (ZO) conference held at Ford William Calcutta on 29th January, 1892.

ZO (Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi) inhabited areas in India, Myanmar & Bangladesh

Though the resolution of Chin-Lushai Conference is still kept pending till today, the aspiration of ZO people towards reunification of her people and the country in which they live in, still remains. All Politiccal Parties born after the British had withdrawn, aim at reunification of her people and the country, rectifying the past errors that had been done to the ZO race. But when all these political parties movement could not bear a fruitful result so far, FIRST WORLD ZO REUNIFICATION CONVENTION held at Champhai on 20th May 1988 resolved to form a  political forum to reunify the ZO RACE pursuant to the resolution of Chin-Lushai Conference, Calcutta, 1892. The Convention is envisaging the reunification of her divided people under one administrative head emancipating to the rebirth of ZO RACE which have been suppressed for over a century under majority control.

Formation of Zo Re-unification Organisation

The first World Zo Convention, 20th May, 1988 decided to form 'ZO REUNIFICATION ORGANISATION'(ZORO) covering all Parties, Organisations, Associations and individuals, within the ZO country and the ZO people belonging to the ZO race. The ZORO has elected body in the Gen. Headquarters headed by Chairman who gives appointments to Coordinators, Secretary Generals/ General Secretaries, Secretaries, Organisers and other Officials, to execute the ZORO programmes.

The first World Zo  Convention also created three political administrative Zones in the ZO Country, those are: Northern Zone, Central Zone and Southern Zone; headed by Zonal Chairman, which Status equivalent to the National Vice Chairman at the General Headquarters, who would give appointment to the Secretaries at the Zones.

The Northern Zone covers Cachar Hills(Assam), Southern Manipur Hills, Northern Chin Hills upto upper Chindwin.

The Central Zone covers: Eastren Hills of Tripura, Mizo Hills (Present Mizoram) Central Chin Hills and Sagaing Divisions, upto Chindwin.

The Southern Zone covers: Chittagong Hill Tracts, Southern Mizoram, Southern Chin Hills, Arakan Yoma (Hills) upto (plain Chin inhabited areas) plain of Irrawady river.

The political administrative Zones are divided into five to seven divisions, which are again sub-divided into constituency and Blocks containing towns and villages. 

The Divisions are headed by Divisional Chairman, and Blocks are headed by Block Chairman, while town and Villages are headed by Leaders.

Thus the ZO Country, which the British called "Chin-Lushai Country" and the inhabitants of ZO Race are intended to be organising. The Work have been completed upto Zonal level Organisation. Divisional level have now been in the processing. Annual Convention at the Anniversary of Chin-Lushai Conference have been used to organised on 29th January , every year and awareness have been increasing. Publication of Journals, magazine and booklets have been continuing.

Police raided the residents of the culprits and they are absconding. The fact-finding team was led by Mrs Pitiswori Hudam, hon'ble member of Manipur State Commission for Women along with its Member Secretary, Shri. S. Meghachandra.  Latter, Mrs Pitiswori also met and taken the statement from the victim separately and assured to the victim and the family members for justice.  "The victim is minor and it is the matter of kidnapping and raping a minor. The rapist, the parents and others involved in the crime will not be spared," says Mrs Pitiswori. Ms Geeta (name changed) 17 years old, a student of Class XI, studying at Shillong was kidnapped by a son S/o Yengkokpam Rameshwor Singh of Charangpat Mamang Leikai, Thoubal district, kidnapped with three men in a red Maruti van.  She was raped inside the vehicle and forced her to accept as eloped with her consent by the family members of the rapist.  A case of kidnapping, seducing and raping a minor girl is registered at Kakching police station under 366/376/342/34 of IPC and 3(1)(XII) of SC/ST Prevention of Atrocity Act 1989 on January 30. Reacting to the allegation published by the father of the rapist Shri. Y. Rameshwor Singh in Hueyel Lanpao today, the victim broke out in tears and narrated to the members of the fact-finding team that the rapist's father is trying to cover the crime committed by his son and himself.  "The allegation level against me and my parents saying that it was elopement with my consent and my father is baseless. I want the rapist, his parents and other people involved in the crime must be booked and punished," says the victim, Ms Geeta. Early today, a delegation also met the SDPO of the Kakching Police, Shri A. G. Sharma to enquire about the actions taken by the police.  According to the police, an attempt to arrest the culprits was taken and the culprits are absconding.
