Chuvang chuan politics nihna leh a hman dan dik kan inzirtir thar te pawh a tul viauin a lang.

“Politics” tih hi Sap tawng a ni nain Mizo tawng ang maiin thingtlang kilkhawr berah te pawh kan hmang a. Sap ho pawh hian “politics” hi Thuthlung Thar bu ziahna tawng - Grik tawng - “politikos” tih atanga an lo lakchhawn a ni. “Khua leh tui te chungchang emaw khua leh tui te hamthatna chungchang” sawina a ni ber mai awm e.

Hmasanga hnam fing hmasa Grik hoten politics chungchang an han sawi khan an kawhtir ber chu mihring chengho inenkawlna leh inrelbawlna dan hi a ni. Inenkawlna dan hrim hrim phei chu Mosia hunlai pawha an neih tawh a nih avangin politics kan tih hian thil bawlhhlawh leh tenawma ngaih tur a ni lo tih kan hre thei awm e.

Tunlai tawngkamin han sawi ta ila, politics-a zuang lut an ni ber mai. An politics khelh dan erawh a dang hle.

Kum zabi 21-naa kan hman ang politics hriatthiam dan dik neihnana Oxford Dictionary-in politics a hrilhfiahna pakhat hi a tangkai theiin a rinawm – “The activities associated with the governance of a country or area, especially the debate between parties having power.”

He dictionary-in a hrilhfiah dan chuan ram inrelbawlna kaihhnawiha hmalakna emaw thiltih reng reng chu politics a ni a. Kohhran emaw tlawmngai pawl te thiltih (activity) sorkar inrelbawlna nena inzawm reng reng chu politics a ni tel vek tihna a ni ber chu, ram inrelbawlna leh rorelna a nghawng avangin.

MLA bik han thlur ta ila. MLA ni tura tehna hrang hrang hi a awm thei anga, duhdan hrang hrang hrutrual vektu leh keini pawhin kan lo tehna ber tur chu India ram dan sang ber Constitution hi a ni ang. Chu danpui Article 173-na chuan heti hian a sawi a:

"Qualification for membership of the State Legislature - A person shall not be qualified to be chosen to fill a seat in the Legislature of a State unless he (a) is a citizen of India...(b) is...not less than twenty five years of age..."

Bru emaw Chakma pawh nise, India ram khua leh tui, kum 25 aia naupang lo inthlannaa chak a nih chuan Mizoram sorkar rorelna sang ber Legislative Assembly-a roreltu Member ni turin an tling tawk tih hi Mizote kan behna ram danpuiin a sawidan chu a ni.

Minister te chuan Schedule 3 part 5 hmangin hetiang hian thu an tiam:

“I, A.B., do swear in the name of God/solemnly affirm that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established, that I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India, that I will faithfully and conscientiously discharge my duties as a Minister for the State of (Mizoram) and that I will do right to all manner of people in accordance with the Constitution and the law without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.”

MLA emaw Minister/Chief Minister ni tura India ram danpuiin tlin theihna dan a siam hlenchhuak te hi India ram danpui vekin thutiam pawimawh tak mai an lak phawt loh chuan MLA emaw Minister/Chief Minister an nih a remti lova.

Minister emaw Chief Minister ni tura thutiam an lakah hian thil pathum pawimawh deuh deuh a awm a. A mal te tein I han bihchiang dawn chhin teh ang.

1) "I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established" leh "I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India" tia thu tiam an nih avang hian India ram pumkhatna tichhe tur lamin thil an ti tur a ni lo tihna a ni ber mai.

India ram thendarh a nihlohna tura thu tiamtu hian India ram thendarh ngei ngaihna tur Mizote independence hi a sawi a rem lo a ni.

Tin, Member of Parliament thutiam pawh lo la tawh, tuna Mizoram rorelna inpuia eptu intelkhawm pawl hotu MLA Pu Vanlalzawma'n Oct 24, 2013-a, ZORO buatsaih UNO Day-a, "Zo hnahthlak hnam hrang hrangte pawh international boundary-in min dang eng ang mah se, inzawm khawm kan duh tlat chuan min dang reng thei lo ang...India ram hi tun ang hian eng chen a kal dawn a hriat loh a, a la keh darh lo ang tih sawi theih a ni lo" tia a sawi te pawh kha mahnia ro inrel ram nih duhna rilru atang chuan a dik thlap mai thei, mahse MLA (leh MP) ni tura thu lo tiam tawh tan chuan khatianga tawngchhuah kha India ram danpui kalhna a ni tih kan hmu thei awm e.

2) "I will faithfully and conscientiously discharge my duties" tia Minister leh Chief Minister ten thu an tiam hian an hna chanpual rinawm tak leh ngaihtuahna fim tak hmanga dik taka thawk tura thu an tiamna a ni a. “Conscientiously” tih lai hi a pawimawh hle. Chhia leh tha hriatna thiang tak hmanga hna thawk tura intiamna a tawngkam a ni tlat a.

Nikum 2013 kum tawp lam khan Mizo Zirlai Pawl ten Mizoram state quotaa Mizo/Zo hnam te duhsak hmasak bik kan nih theihnan Higher & Technical Education leh Art & Culture Department minister chu "indigenous" tih hrilhfiah turin an phut a. An phut chhan pawh Mizo hnam chauh hi Mizoram leilung fatea an pawm avang leh "indigenous" tih tawngkam sawibuaina a awm vang a ni. Higher & Technical Education department minister chuan dictionary hrilhfiahna leh a department hnuaia Tribal Research Institute lehkhabu chhuaha Chakma te Mizoram lei an rawh rah hmasak ber 1872 a nih thu hre reng chungin Law and Judicial department te hrilhfiahah a ti ta hlauh a. Law & Judicial department hian vawiin ni thlengin mipui hriatah an la hrilhfiah lo niin a lang, a har loh tehreng nen.

Tin, a hnu deuhvah, sorkarin a hrilhfiah tawh leh tawhloh Sports Minister zawh a nihin, "...indigenous chu hrilhfiah ngai an awm lo a, Supreme Court of India in a hrilhfiah dan hi fimkhur tak in kan thlirho zawk mai a ni" tiin a chhang a. Supreme Court in indigenous chungchang a sawi lah chu Mizorama indigenous chungchang kan buaipui nen a inang miah lo lehnghal a.

Kan thlantlin hruaitu Higher & Technical Education leh Sports & Youth Services department minister te hian an hmaa tla, rel fel leh tihchian tur chu politics bawlhhlawh ngaihtuaha avangin ngaihtuahna fim tak hmanga dik taka ti ta lo chuan an ngawihsan ta zawk a.

3) “I will do right to all manner of people in accordance with the Constitution and the law without fear or favour, affection or ill-will” tia thu an tiam hian hlauhna emaw, duhsakna emaw, ngainat bikna emaw huatna tellova Constitution leh dan dang te zawm thlapa mi zawng zawng chunga thil dik ti tura an intiamna a ni a.

An la chhuchatlo a nih pawhin khatianga Chief Minister in thu a sawi kha a thutiam spiritbawhchhiatna lian tak a ni ta reng reng.

Sawi tawh tawh ang khan keini’n kan lo teh thinna te hi Constitution-in a ngaipawimawh tehchiam lova, missionary emaw evangelist emaw kohhran upa thlang tur kan ni lo bawk a, “Constitution leh danin a phut an hlenchhuak em?
