Na thugelte kana sim a lungluthuoi kasa hi.
Na topic "ZO TRIBE in India: Is it Heading Towrads its Demise or Vibrancy?" chi khu hing dawng pai diing hileng "The ZO TRIBE in India: It is heading towards demise with the status quo, but we can change the course from dimise to vibrancy" chi'n kang dawng diing hi. UZO tangthu nagelte khu adih a, soiselna diing bangma aum in kathei sih hi. Kei mudan hing kum vang:
Founding fathers era (1950-1971) khu community-oriented ana hi a, mimasate'n a tha-le-zung sitlou in pan ana la vevaw ua, mipi support zong anga ua, India kumpi theipina zong ana nga uhi.
UZO Second Era (1972-1998) khu (Phamta) Pu Thangkhanlal Era in ka ngaisut a, tuahun apat in 70% political party leh 30% community or social or tribal organization ana hita bang kasa hi. Aziehpen, 1972 a Manipur in Statehood ang mu apat MLA, MDC chite ang kiteelthei tah chiengin UZO in a hina mansuo in politics ah nasatah in ang kibuolta hi. UZO mipite apat a a kikhinkhietna khu tammi khang apat ahita hi.
UZO Third era (1999-til date) in vang lamkaitu diing kichien umlou, UZO president leh 60 Singngat A/C khu i kaankhawmta ua, dahuoi chilou gen diing bangma aum tasih hi. Tu-le-tu in vang 99.99% political-oriented ahita chi koima pou in ithei chiet diinguh ka gingta hi. Tulaitah a i buoina uh "Zou ham zangteng leh Zou tawndan zui teng Zou ahi" chite vel bang political interest hizaw in ka ngaisut hi. Zou mipite leh UZO khu a kigamlata mama hi.Tulaitah a UZO khu mipi (popular) support hilou in politician bangza amakhat kimawlna hileh a kilawm a, tuaziehin UZO aims and objectives khu social or community focus sangin political-oriented ahizaw hi. Article khat "Polar Bear leh Penguin: UZO President leh 60 Singngat A/C MLA" chi'n kana gielkha ngai a, ka blog http://khaiminthang.blogspot.com/2008/04/uzo-president-singngat-ac-mla.html ah aum a, tuanah ka theidan leh mudan kana giel hi. Tami tegeel i khenkhiet masangsie UZO in i nampi a focus ngai sih diing hi. I khenkhiet bai leh bitna ahi diinga, i khenkhiet ha leh khatvei chienga i political boundary un i dinning table ang tuntan diing ahi hi. See the Thankhal movement, Zo/Zou or Zoumi/Zomi movement, United Zou Organization, Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi, etc. cf. United Zomi Organization, Zomi Sangnaupang Pawlpi. We are victimising ourselves for the political gains of someone. It's not only shameful, but painful as well. Ka lawmpa khat kungah "We are settling with different tribes and in different localities, villages, districts, states and nations. To put this in a very compact format, we are living in different localities of Lamka - New Lamka, Zomi Colony, Zoveng, Kamdou veng, Tuibuang, Nehru Marg, etc. If we want to belong to either side of the very opposing forces we will suffer a blow from the other side of the tribe. Support Zomi council; your people is going to suffer in Kamdou veng, Tuibuang, Sugnu road area, Chandel, etc. Support Kuki movement; your people is going to suffer in New Lamka, Simveng, Beulahlane, Teddim road area, Guite road area, etc. Therefore, the best medicine for us now, (as the people have proven) is non-align movement. Or, to support or co-op with bigger tribes such as Mizo tribe, who from time to time have welcomed us and extended their support and help every time. Look back at the ZNC movement, their news write-ups on the ZSP Golden Jubilee celebration, etc. They have always been useful and open to us" chi'n personal mail ah kagiel zouta hi. We now need to charish the dreams of our founding fathers - a better UZO to the next generation.
UZO Siemphatna Diinga Lampite:
1. UZO khu mipite kunga ang kile angaita hi. It has to regain its credibility as the leaders of the Zou people and represent them faithfully. Legislative, Executive leh Judicial department-te khu khenkhiet teitei diing ahi hi. Government khat phot phot in tamte independent a aum sah mawng ahia, Executive a kipote khu dictatorship a kichi hi. Nidanglai a lengte leh tulai a dictator te'n "It shall be written, so shall it be done" achi uh idei leh Executive a kipuoh diing himai ahi. Ka genzel bangin tam banga UZO i peipi zieh un "Checks and balances" a kibawlthei sih a, mipite deidan sepkhiet aum sih hi.
2. UZO administrative setup zong hen angai hi. Zomi Working Committee (ZWC) ichite khu meikhu lien, officer-te leh kho hausate hilou in be-le-phung lamkaite ahi diing ahi. Be-le-phung laikai ahivangin UZO mi-le-sa hilou khat khu ZWC in kipomda leh ahoi diing hi. Tam pen India dan hileh Upper House (Rajya Sabha) ahi a, USA dan hileh Senate ahi hi. Vice president in vaihawmna a chair diing ahi. Tam pen executive brance a ipom a be-le-phung lamkaite banah President in a cabinet minister diinga ateel, a tempeina utawh kituoh in - Home, Education, Defense, Religion, Commarce, Politics, Foreign Affairs, Culture and Tradition chite hi henlen President in tamte a secretary diingin a department neiza tawh kituoh nominate leh ahoi diing hi.

Munkhat poupou leh organization khat phot ah politics alut diing ma ahia, theisiem huoi kasa hi. Biehna pawlpi sung na-ngawn ah zong politics alut hi. While we need to spiritualize our social organizations, we have even politicized our denominations, not even to speak of our social organizations. Bias or favoritism chi pen a um zing mawng ahia, hilezong mipilte gam ah langtang in a kibawlsih chi manthu a hilel hi. Eipawl apen imawl zieh in langtangtah pi'n ibawl ua, mite lungsim inasah ua, i kidaidanna zong a liensah deudeu zaw hi.

Eipawl pen a office tawh buoi in a mission bangma i don man tasih uhi. A president, secy. dept. secys. chite i buoipi vengvung ua, i mission uh bangma isem man zel sih hi. Kei ngaidan in ZYO bawl vanglah ihileh khosung-vengsung ah sienthouna, innteen-louteen siemdan, nopni-dani a ki-uop diingdan, puonsil-niihteen sil leh teen diingdan, khanglaite kitoudel diingdan, Pasian thei diingdan, nampi iit diingdan, chite leh sunthah-eehthah diingdan tanphau a kihil diingin Zou sunga peidan zousie'n uniformity ang nei diing khu ZYO tup hileh kilawm kasa hi.

Ahil diing lah umlou, a kihil sawm sunsunte zong ki kelpatei sah (koima thulahlou) nalai chidan deu hing hang ee, guai!
Tualeh, Local/branch UZO te khu a taangpi'n eimi tamna hilou a khopi tuomtuom a umte diingin ka ngaisut hi. Keima ngaidan in Zomi (UZO mi-le-sa) 50 sanga tomzawtna mun ah "Patriarchal society" danin kibawl henlen tuana local guardian penpen in tuami khosung/vengsung a um imi-isa zousie mawpo leh ahoi mai diingin ka ngaisut hi.

Bangteng bangteng a i kipuoh vangin i mission uh khu office/leadership hilou in i mite (subjcet) ahi gige hi. Office (Leadership) buoi a ibuoi a imi-isate i nahsah man sih leh Laisiengthou a kigen banga "Ngawng a suongtum khat khi a tuili sunga tawmlut" mai diing in hoi kasa mai hi.
These are the fundamental changes we need in our society or community. Therefore, if and when we can accept and embrace these fundamental changes, my answers to your title "The ZO TRIBE in India: It is heading towards demise with the status quo, but we can change the course from dimise to vibrancy" would be answered and we will see the change we need.
CHANGE: Yes we can, yes we will and yes we are!
