OF NORTH-EAST INDIA
IN THE INTEREST OF THE TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT AND

Government of India.
New Delhi

We, the undersigned representatives of Hmar National Assembly (HNA)

different states of North-East India, would like to submit to you our memorandum
embodying own Hmar Tribal Political problems and solution within the provision of
the constitution of India in the interest of the Hmar Tribal Peoples who scattered in
the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.

1. The Hmar Tribesmen are descendent of Sinlung which was a Hebrew

word for China and grouped under Kuki-Chin linguistic group by the
colonial monographers and writers. The British administrators and
anthropologists clubbed the Hmar tribesmen as Old Kukis. The Hmar
leaders spearheaded Mizo political movement under the banner of Mizo
Union since 1946 resulting political arrangement in the then Lushai Hills
of Assam under the provisions of the Sixth Schedule of Indian
Constitution ‘Mizo District Council’ that could not cover the Hmar in
Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya and Tripura States in 1950s.
2. The Hmar Tribal Peoples in Manipur formed Hmar National Union
(HNU) demanding Hmar District Council in 1960s and 1970s. Nothing
has been done to the Hmar Tribal Peoples by the Central and State
Government.
3. The Hmar Peoples’ Convention (HPC) from Mizoram State demanded
Hmar District Council in Mizoram in the 1987s and the HPC-Mizoram
Govt. Accord was signed on 27th July, 1994, thereby the Sinlung Hills
Development Council (SHDC) was created but the two years Interim
Period still expended till today i.e. the SHDC could not deliver goods to
 the Hmar Tribal Peoples of Mizoram.
4. The Hmar Tribal Peoples in Assam under the banner of Cachar Hill
Peoples Federation moved the Government and the Barak Valley Hill
Tribes Development Council was created on 28th March, 1996, and two
years Interim Period still extended today.
5. The Biate / Hmar Peoples in Meghalaya and Hmar clans like Baro-
Halam in Tripura could not move their respective State Governments.

The above mentioned Hmar tribal political problems may be settled with the
creation of the following political administration under the provision of the Sixth
Schedule of the Indian Constitution:-

1) Separation administration of the tribals of Manipur from Manipur

State.
2) To up-grade the Sinlung Hills Development Council to
Autonomous District Council in Mizoram.
3) To up-grade the Barak Valley Hill Tribes Development Council
to Autonomous District Council in Assam.
4) To create Autonomous District Council for Non-Dimasa Peoples
in North Cachar Hills of Assam.
5) To create Baro-Halam / Hmar Autonomous District Council in
Tripura.
6) To create Regional Council for Biate / Hmar Tribes in Jaintia
Hills in Meghalaya.

The above Six Points Demands will give political solution to Hmar Tribal
Peoples of North-eastern India as and when the Government of India enacted
legislation in the Indian Parliament.

We beseeched you, Sir, to move the Government of India and enact

Legislation in the Indian Parliament so that the small minority like the Hmar Tribal
Peoples political problems may be solved once and for all in the interest of
democracy and development.

Yours faithfully,
