Desire for the improvement of the condition of Chin Nations

ANNEXURE I.

From the signatories as representatives from the various parts of Chin Hills, to the Frontier Areas Committee, Camp Maymyo, dated on 21^st April 1947.

We thank the British Government's Executive Council for mutual benefit of the minority races in the hill regions of Burma, with the Burmese, as contemplated by the London Agreement their success in forming an Enquiry Committee to explore ways and means for the lasting association for executed between the two Governments.

Desire for the improvement of the condition of Chin Nations

We find that though the British Government has ruled over the Chin Hills for about 60 years, we are very much backward, if compared with the Frontier Area, in Education, Health, Communications, Agriculture and Economic conditions. As regards Administrations also, the poor people have greatly suffered due to the collection of taxes on food under pressure by the Circle Thuggish, appointed by the Government, as in the days of Dictators, Capitalists and Rulers (Sawbwas) of States, and not like other Kachin Frontier Areas. Therefore, in the new Administration, the said Circle Thugyis should be made Government servants or to find out some other practicable method.

All the Chin nationals of the Frontier being in favour of Democratic Principle only, we wish to have only such administration after election by votes as in the election to the Council recently formed. After having duly elected 12 members on the basis of 3 from one area under the change of Sub divisional Officer, originally in the Chin Hills, to represent and give evidence here on behalf on the Chin and Kachin Nationals, and on their arrival at Maymyo, they were divided into six parties and they have to give evidence continuously for two days. The reason for this is that they were not representatives of the people, but only Circle thugyis who had come only for their own interests under the influence of the Government. Therefore the desires of the Chin masses of the hill and their demands for the future administration are as follows:-

Kawl paunak," Pywe lan htung phiea khiin

Kawl paunak "Pywe lan htung phiea khiin:

Zomite bek hilo in, leitung minam tuamtuamte'n zong paunak, lakam leh thupil tampi tak na nei uh a, tuate pen mihingte nuntakna tungtawn pan kisin thu a hih manin, thu manpha vive a hihi. Tua paunak tampite pen thu kihilhna, thu ciaptehna leh a tuamtuam in kizang hi.

Na khat peuhpeuh sep khiat ding ngimna a om tak teh, a hanciamna hunsungin kihel lo na pi'n a lawhcin veve ding a theih a, min deih veve mite in tua nasepna ah tawm kihel pak uh a, a mau hanga lawhcin bang a suak sak mite genna in kinei hi. Angsung bek khual a, min hoih minpha bek a deihte genna in ki zang hi.
