By: Pau, Pum Khan [author.].
Publisher: India : Routledge, 2019Edition: South Asia Edition.Description: xvi, 343p.ISBN: 9780367442941.Subject(s): Burma | India | Burma -- Chin State | British colonies | Anti-imperialist movements | Anti-imperialist movementsDDC classification: 959.104 Summary: This book examines the British colonial expansion in the so-called unadministered hill tracts of the Indo-Burma frontier and the change of colonial policy from non-intervention to intervention. The book begins with the end of the First Anglo-Burmese War (1824–26), which resulted in the British annexation of the North-Eastern Frontier of Bengal and the extension of its sway over the Arakan and Manipur frontiers, and closes with the separation of Burma from India in 1937. The volume documents the resistance of the indigenous hill peoples to colonial penetration; administrative policies such as disarmament; subjugation of the local chiefs under a colonial legal framework and its impact; standardisation of ‘Chin’ as an ethnic category for the fragmented tribes and sub-tribes; and the creation and consolidation of the Chin Hills District as a political entity to provide an extensive account of British relations with the indigenous Chin/Zo community from 1824 to 1935. By situating these within the larger context of British imperial policy, the book makes a critical analysis of the British approach towards the Indo-Burma frontier.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
