LUSHAI HILLS

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 130 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
LUSHAI HILLS , a mountainous
district
  of Eastern Bengal and Assam,
south
  of
Cachar
 , on the border between Assam and Burma. Area, 7227 sq. m.; pop. (1901) 82,434. The hills are for the most
part
  covered with dense bamboo jungle and rank undergrowth; but in the eastern portion, owing probably to a smaller rainfall, open grass-covered slopes are found, with groves of oak and pine interspersed with rhododendrons. These hills are inhabited by the Lushais and cognate tribes, but the population is extremely scanty. From the earliest known times the
original
  inhabitants were Kukis, and the Lushais were not heard of until 1840, when they invaded the
district
  from the north. Their first attack upon British territory took place in November 1849, and after that date they proved one of the most troublesome tribes on the north-
east
  frontier of India; but operations in 1890 resulted in the complete pacification of the northern Lushai villages, and in 1892 the eastern Lushais were reduced to order. The management of the
South
  Lushai hill country was transferred from Bengal to Assam in 1898. To obtain more efficient
control
  over the country the district has been divided into eighteen circles, each in charge of an interpreter, through whom all orders are transmitted to the chiefs. The Welsh Presbyterian Mission began
work
  at Aijal in 1897, and the people have shown un, expected readiness to accept education. According to the
census
  of 1901 the
total
  number of Lushais in Assam was 63,452.
See Colonel T. H. Lewin, Wild Races of N.E. India (1870) ; Lushai Hills Gazetteer (Calcutta. 1906).
