Source: TOI: Mizoram to compensate former Mizo chiefs
Aizawl, Aug 18 (PTI) Mizoram today agreed to give compensation to the former Mizo chiefs who were dethroned and their lands confiscated by the government in the early 1950s.
A Cabinet meeting, chaired by state chief minister Lal Thanhawla, decided to send its recommendations on this matter to the Center for final approval and payment of compensation. Mizo sovereign chiefs who had ruled the then ‘Lushai country’ as called by the invading British troops, continued to hold their chieftainship during the British rule, but the government under independent India abolished the chieftainship and replaced it with democratically elected village councils.
The former chiefs and their descendants were rendered landless and without subjects and the government refused to pay compensation while in neighboring states, the chiefs were allowed to continue or dethroned by payment of compensation. The Mizo chiefs council challenged and fought the decision of the government and even moved the Gauhati High Court seeking justice.
