About the book:

This is the first ever book written on the Chakma tribe of Mizoram in Northeast India, exploring their indigenous status and history of their settlement in Mizoram. In his simple but powerful style, the author counters the false narratives weaved around the Chakmas over their ‘indigeneity’ and belongingness. As indigenous status of this predominantly Buddhist tribal community has become the flashpoint in Mizoram, this book is a timely addition to the “insider-outsider” debate. For, it throws light into the hitherto unknown historical records to give us a fresh perspective on the subject.

This book is remarkable for the author’s in-depth research, originality and meticulous examination of both publicly available materials and hitherto un-accessed gems from archives, imperial gazettes and other relevant sources. A must book for scholars, researchers, activists, politicians, and anyone who is interested to know about this predominantly Buddhist community of Mizoram.


About the author: Paritosh Chakma is a well-known name among the Chakma community in India. He is an independent researcher, with deep interests in history.
