Jorhat, July 17: A literary-cum-publishing organisation of Assam has stumbled on some interesting facts about unsung heroes of Mizoram, who resisted the British invasion to the erstwhile Lushai Hills while researching for a book on the history of undivided Assam.

While doing preliminary research for the project to bring out 100 volumes in Assamese pertaining to all kinds of historical accounts of the region encompassing the northeastern states that earlier were part of Assam, Asom Jatiya Prakash found various facts about unsung Mizo heroes, who had resisted the British invasion to the Lushai Hills.

The secretary of the Asom Jatiya Prakash, Devabrata Sharma, told this correspondent that the possibility of an English translation of the same was also being considered. (more…)

Swept by Hindi and Korean serials, films, Mizoram strikes back

Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013

State government trains filmmakers, sets up a film city, encourages shorts based on Mizo folk tales, history.

In the mid-2000s, young Mizo men heading home from girlfriends’ houses after an evening’s courtship would huddle around coffee-vending machines in Aizawl’s numerous roadside-shops and, in jest, address each other as “Anurag” or simply “AB”, short for Anurag Basu, the lead character in Hindi serial Kasautii Zindagii Kay.

Kasautii was a household name across Mizoram then, as the state’s cable TV networks beamed Mizo-dubbed versions of the family drama to tens of thousands of homes in villages and towns.

Shortly after came the Koreans, slowly overtaking Hindi serials with their countless melodramatic soaps dubbed in Mizo. It wasn’t just the dominant Mizo community that was enamoured. As taken in were the smaller Mara, Paite, Hmar, Lai, Bru communities as well as ethnic Mizos in Myanmar’s Chin State and others who had migrated to South-East Asian countries.

Now comes the counter-attack. Alarmed at households flooded with serials which have little in common with Mizo culture — and at reports of some trying to emulate role models they saw on screen — the state government has started promoting Mizo films.

In partnership with the newly formed Mizoram Film Development Society (MFDS), the state Information and Public Relations Department is providing basic training to aspiring filmmakers of the state. Two campuses now function as a film city, with traditional Mizo villages serving as permanent exhibits.

The goal is to encourage Mizo filmmakers to create films — mostly shorts — based on the state’s history and Mizo folk tales. Recently, a competition was held of short films based on such folk tales.
