Despite seclusion, the Mizo Union leaders of Mizoram, erstwhile Lushai Hills, had a penchant for the mainstream politics. But the appeal of Nehru's liberalism and constitutionalism suffered a set-back because of manipulative Assam politics. Laldenga formed the Mizo National Front to establish Sovereign Mizoram. He was brainwashed by the colonialist forces. But his revolt plunged Mizoram into a horrible insurgency causing unprecedented bloodbath in North-East India. China and Pakistan fished in the troubled waters. The changed international situation., However, compelled the MNF supremo to realize his mistake. He sought refuge in the constitutionalism. Rajiv Gandhi gave that opportunity when MNF abjured violence. Laldenga became the legitimate chief minister. He was dismissed being betrayed by his own party men.

This book delves deep into the remarkable journey of the Mizo National Front (MNF), from its origin to what it has become today. With meticulous research and keen analysis, the book offers a compelling narrative of how a marginalized group transformed into a political force that reshaped the destiny of an entire region and an entire race. Through a lens finely tuned to historical context and cultural nuances, the book unearths the motivations and aspirations that propelled the Mizo people to rally behind the MNF's call for autonomy, and ultimately, statehood. Whether you are a political scholar, history aficionado, or simply curious about the transformative power of political parties in regional contexts, this book offers a compelling narrative that unveils the multifaceted layers of the Mizo National Front's legacy. It serves as an indispensable resource for anyone seeking a profound understanding of the interplay between patriotism and nationalism, political ambition, cultural identity and the pursuit of a better future.

The last frontier: people and forests in Mizoram details the relationship between the people and their environment, and between the environment and development. It is set in Mizoram, one of the seven states of the ecologically complex north-eastern region, a land where society and culture present a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity whose history and polity varies from that of most other parts of India. The book traces the environmental history of Mizoram, beginning in the nineteenth century, through colonial rule and into the post-Independence period. It examines the nature of biophysical resources and the influence of human activities on them. Finally, the management of forests by people and the state is analysed, including a detailed discussion on the system of shifting cultivation.

Water is the most essential commodity for human consumption and one of the most important renewable resources, which must be prevented from deterioration in quality and quantity both. With rapid growing population and improved living standards, the pressure on water resources is increasing. Exploitation of water from the resources for domestic, industrial and agricultural purposes puts resources. Pollution of surface and subsurface water resources poses a serious threat to human health and environment. The surface water sources are largely influenced by anthropogenic activities. As most surface water sources are already polluted by rapid urbanization and industrialization, its adverse effects on shallow subsurface groundwater aquifers are a cause of concern as large population is depending on it. The chemical composition of groundwater is related to the soluble products of rock weathering and decomposition and changes with respect to time and space. Some elements are essential in trace amounts for human consumption while higher concentrations of the same can cause toxic effects. Water quality depends on local geology, distance from sea, industrial zone, agricultural area and urbanization.
