Mizoram rules out Hmar autonomy

Aizawl (Zodinsanga): Mizoram home minister R Lalzirliana has made it crystal clear that an autonomous district council for the Hmar-dominated areas in north and northeastern Mizoram is not on the cards.



“Three autonomous district councils (ADCs) had been created in Mizoram without our consent. As Mizoram was a Union Territory at that time, we could not do anything (to prevent the creation of the ADCs). We are not giving any more ADC for any tribe,” Lalzirliana told a meeting of officials and representatives of major political parties and NGOs here on Wednesday.

The home minister’s statement came in the wake of a misunderstanding between underground outfit Hmar People’s Convention-Democratic (HPC-D) and the central committee of Young Mizo Association (YMA), Mizoram’s biggest and most influential civic organisation, over the HPC-D’s demand f or ADC for the Hmars.

A  non-official who attended the meeting said, on condition of anonymity, that the home minister even encouraged the central YMA leaders not to quail at the militants’ threats but to stand firm (on their opposition to the HPC-D’s demand for ADC).

Even as the central YMA president has denied having said the central YMA had implored the Mizoram government not to fulfill the HPCD’s demand, the home minister said, “You must stand by your words.”

Meanwhile, the imbroglio between the HPC-D and the central YMA has worsened with all the 16 branches under Tuisual group YMA tendering their resignation on Wednesday as the April-25 deadline for the central committee of YMA to find peaceful solution with the militant group ended without any positive move from the central YMA leaders. Tuisual group area is the core of the HPC-D’s demanded area while three other YMA groups – Tuivai, Serlui and Chalfilh – have a few branches falling under the demanded area.

Formed by the European missionaries in 1935 as a social institution, the YMA has a total of 46 groups and 787 branches within and outside Mizoram where a sizeable Mizo community lives. “With the dissolution of the YMA, Sakawrdai Youth Association was formed this morning,” said Lallianzuala, the resigning vice-president of Tuisual group YMA, from Sakawrdai. “However, this is an ad hoc committee. We will reconstitute the YMA once the central YMA and HPC-D find a peaceful solution to the imbroglio,” he added.

It may be recalled the militant outfit had on April 17 served a diktat to all YMA branches under the Sinlung Hills Development Council (or HPC-D demanded area for Hmar autonomy) to resign before the end of April, in a strong reaction to the central YMA president T Sangkunga’s alleged remarks in his public speech that the central YMA had implored the government not to grant ADC to the Hmars.

A few other branches under the three YMA groups will decide their future on Thursday, the resigned YMA leader said. Meanwhile, rubbishing the central YMA’s claims that it had communicated with some leaders of the H Zosangbera faction of the HPC-D which had served the diktat to dissolve the YMA branches and negotiations were in progress, the HPC-D said in a press handout on Wednesday that none of the central YMA leaders talked to any HPC-D leader.

“After all, any negotiation will be meaningless unless the central YMA stops to spread falsehood that creation of a H mar ADC will divide Mizoram into smaller states,” the communiqué, signed the outfit’s information secretary John F Hmar said. The Sinlung Hills Development Council (SHDC) was a result of a settlement of peace signed between the HPC and the Mizoram government in 1994. Unsatisfied with the peace accord, some HPC leaders formed HPC-D to continue an armed struggle for the Hmars’ autonomy.

Hmar Autonomy

When Mizoram became a full-fledged state in 1987, late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi advised MNF chief Laldenga that Mizos should prepared to accommodate the aspirations of the smaller tribes if they expected India to take care of theirs.

On the day of conferment of statehood, Gandhi addressed a huge rally at Aizawl’s Assam Rifles ground and that is where he made Delhi’s stand unambiguously clear. But no government in Mizoram, MNF or Congress, have been prepared to do what Gandhi expected them to do. Reach out to the smaller tribes, who are ethnic minorities in Mizoram, and make them comfortable with some autonomy. The Rajiv Gandhi salvo was meant to stop Laldenga in his tracks because the rebel leader, just before taking over as chief minister, had raised the issue of abolition of the Chakma district council.

Rajiv Gandhi, the man who brought peace to Mizoram by sacrificing his party’s interest by asking his own chief minister to step down, also scuttled efforts to abolish the Chakma district council. Now, one can expect the MNF to pander to Mizo chauvinism, which is why former chief minister Zoramthanga was not even prepared to accept the Brus (Reangs) as original residents of Mizoram during negotiations on the refugee issue with the Centre and t he Tripura government.

But it comes as a pleasant surprise that the home minister of the present Congress government, Lalzirliana, would rail against the autonomy structure existing in Mizoram and encourage the YMA to oppose any kind of autonomy for the Hmars. The Congress has always positioned itself as the defender of ethnic minorities in Mizoram and that has paid off in electoral terms. When the Mizo Hills was an autonomous district council in Greater Assam, the three smaller tribes — Lais, Maras and Chakmas — had regional councils.
Later, when Mizoram became a Union Territory separate from Assam, those regional councils were upgraded to district councils. So, Delhi was always aware of the minority situation in Mizo Hills and the autonomy structure was arranged accordingly. Hence, Lalzirliana’s complaint that those three autonomous councils were created during the Union Territory days when the Mizos had a limited voice smacks of a lack of a sense of history. As if he is trying to say, we already have three councils we don’t want, and then here are the Hmars who also want it.
The Hmars fought shoulder to shoulder with the Lushais during the days of the MNF-led insurrection. Zoramthanga’s staff officer, Anthony Vanlaltluanga, was a Hmar. But it is the failure of Mizo nationalism to absorb the aspirations of even tribes like Hmars who are ethnically so close to the majority Lushias that has led to Hmar irrendentism. There is an argument with some truth in it that if the Hmars are given an autonomous council and then one is created for the Brus, the state government will be hardly left with any authority anywhere in the state.
The counter- argument is that an autonomous council each for the Hmars and the Brus will only trigger an inclusion process that will bring all the ethnic minorities closer to the Lushais and make the Mizo identity a powerful overarching one covering the whole state. Post-1986, Mizoram is an oasis of peace in troubled Northeast.
That will not be the case if majoritarian chauvinism prevails the way it becomes evident from minister Lalzirliana’s pronouncements. If the ruling communists in neighbouring Tripura could create an autonomous council for the tribals (just one fourth of the population) by covering 68 per cent of the state’s land area and then not experience undermining of the state’s government authority , the ruling Congress in Mizoram should not worry too much of possible ill-effects of autonomy.

Tipaimukh Dam: Some Myths, Some Facts

~By Medha Bisht

Some issues are eternal in politics. They lie dormant for a while, and then get activated when an appropriate trigger is in place. This pattern can be repeatedly seen in the public controversies surrounding the Tipaimukh hydroelectric dam, which is an issue embedded within conflictual perceptions both bilaterally and domestically between/within India and Bangladesh.



While allegations on the lack of appropriate communication from India (regarding the dam’s construction) is often raised in Bangladesh, it is on record that a barrage on the Barak river was discussed by both countries at the very first meeting of the Joint Rivers Commission held in New Delhi on 25-26 June 1972. At that time, the “construction of a storage reservoir on Barak river” was envisaged to manage peak floods. The broader context for this decision was the flood situation in Eastern India, and as a response, both countries decided to undertake a joint study to assess the flood situation in Sylhet area in Bangladesh and Cachar and other adjoining areas in India. Significantly, the maiden understanding between India and Bangladesh was thus on flood prevention and management.

The Tipaimukh dam entered the lexicon of the Joint Rivers Commission more categorically in 1978, when it was decided that “the concerned Superintending Engineers of the two countries should jointly examine the scope of the Indian scheme of storage dam on Barak river at Tipaimukh.” It further added that the “potential flood control and other benefits (particularly power) to Bangladesh should be studied expeditiously.” But in the following two decades, Teesta and Ganges and Tipaimukh took a back seat. Indeed, as Rao Birender Singh, India’s former Agriculture, Rural Reconstruction and Irrigation Minister, pointed out in a Review Meeting of the Ganges Waters Agreement held at New Delhi on January 7, 1981, “the unfortunate part, however, has been that Bangladesh has not come forward to study the data on scientific and rational basis to discuss the scheme and then come to its conclusions.” This statement revealed that India had carried out detailed explorations and investigations on the Tipaimukh dam.

After an interregnum of almost 25 years, Tipaimukh once again reared its head in 2005 at the Joint Rivers Commission. In the interim a lot had changed—internationally and domestically. For instance, a very peculiar development was the global movement against dams, which highlighted the social and environmental costs of multi-purpose projects. These concerns were fully articulated in a report released by the World Commission on Dams in 2000, which, in addition to highlighting social and environmental issues, also emphasised upon people’s participation in decisions related to dam building activities. Such concerns were later raised in the case of the Tipaimukh dam as well. For instance, a paper on the Tipaimukh Dam was presented to the Dams and Development Project (DDP)1 in 2005 by Zakir Kibria, Executive director of the NGO BanglaPraxis, titled “Gaining Public Acceptance (GPA) for Large Dams on International Rivers: The Case of Tipaimukh Dam in India and Concerns in Lower Riparian Bangladesh.” While Kibria’s primary argument was the importance of “gaining public acceptability” for Tipaimukh, he also flagged additional issues like hydrological impact, impact on flooding pattern and the river floodplain-wetland ecosystem, impact on morphology, impact on water quality, dam break, etc.

In the light of broader ecological, hydrological and social costs of large dams gaining prominence and being increasingly highlighted by various institutes, academics, affected peoples’ groups and civil society at large, when India proposed the construction of the Tipaimukh dam at the Joint Rivers Commission meeting held in Dhaka in 2005, Bangladesh expressed categorical concerns on the adverse downstream impact of the dam. Since then, the issue of Tipaimukh has been surrounded by controversies leading to an implementation-lag, and consensus-deficit at various levels. If one were to make sense of the controversies, two parallel strands emerge. The first is the official version shared between the UPA government in India and the Awami League in Bangladesh, and the second relates to the broader concerns raised by the civil society questioning the dam on environmental, technical and social grounds. The two discourses can be categorised within the following broad themes:

Nature of the Project: While the Indian official position emphasises that the Tipaimukh dam would be a “hydro-electric project with provision to control floods”, it explicitly states that the project would not involve “diversion of water on account of irrigation.” Gowher Rizvi, Foreign Affairs Advisor to the Sheikh Hasina-led government, has accepted this position and equated it to a “run of the river project, where the water stored in the dam or the reservoir has to be discharged continuously to enable generation of electricity”. Meanwhile, the civil society in Bangladesh has questioned the nature of the dam in restricting water availability to the Kushiara and Surma rivers as well as the capacity of the dam to generate 1500 MW.

Information Communication and Knowledge Sharing: There has been a lot of hyperbole by the civil society on the lack of transparent communication and sharing of knowledge between the two countries. However, records reveal that at the official level both countries have shown consistent interest in solving the issue bilaterally. For instance, in 2009, a 10-member Bangladesh parliamentary delegation led by Abdur Razzak visited India to survey the proposed dam site and found no diversionary structure. Similarly, after the signing of the Promoter’s Agreement between the Government of Manipur, NHPC Ltd. and Sutlej Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd (SJVN) on 22 October 2011, Mashiur Rahman and Gowher Rizvi, advisors to Sheikh Hasina, paid a visit to New Delhi, to discuss their concerns. In the wake of this two day visit in early December 2011, Gowher Rizvi wrote an editorial page article in the Daily Star (13 December 2011), in which he clearly reiterated the need for a rational and scientific discussion on Tipaimukh.

Benefits and Impact of the Project: While India has been emphasising upon the hydro-electric and flood prevention benefits of the project, Bangladesh has been concerned about the impact of such activity on the river regime, capacity of the dam to control floods, impact on hydrology, particularly the water drainage on crop lands, etc. India has sought to allay these concerns by pointing out that the impact of the dam would be felt inside Indian territory as well, given that some land and National Highway No. 53 in Manipur will be partially submerged. India has also invited Bangladesh to become a partner in the project, which would also facilitate the sharing of power to be generated.

These are only some of the concerns expressed by the Bangladesh government and civil society groups. Moreover, there are domestic issues within India and Bangladesh which need to be addressed by both the governments. At present, the issue of Tipaimukh seems to be clouded by technicalities associated with the project. Given this perceptual divide, a joint technical survey becomes mandatory in order to allay people’s apprehensions about the ecological impact of the project. This issue is under deliberation and could be incorporated into the agenda of the Joint Rivers Commission.

In fact, a list of 10 Bangladeshi experts to conduct a joint study has already been sent by Dhaka to New Delhi. According to the Daily Star, these experts are primarily government officials drawn from the ministries of water resources and foreign affairs, the Water Development Board, the Centre for Environment and Geographical Information Services and the Institute of Water Modelling. This is a welcome gesture and should be taken forward without any interruption.

Tipaimukh has become a prominent issue in India-Bangladesh bilateral relations and has a huge potential to be exploited by vested interests. In order to obviate myopic policies, which could jeopardise the bonhomie in India-Bangladesh relations, the technical underpinnings of the project need to be jointly undertaken by both countries. Joint studies and particularly the institutional framework offered by the Joint Rivers Commission offer an excellent opportunity for resolving misperceptions and bridging differences. Significantly, the Joint Technical Survey, which is in the offing, is perhaps the first step and an appropriate way to move forward.

Lalhmang

Lalhmang was a great king. He had a vast kingdom with many slaves. One day he made a declaration among his councilors that he would ask several questions and whosoever could answer them correctly would be promoted as his chief councilor. The first question was: among animals, birds and any insects, which is the purest of all? One councilor said “deer”, another said “bird” and some other said, “Fish”. At that moment, one of the King’s cooks called Berbawr happened to pass by and also joined them, saying, “the purest of them all is fly.” Everyone laughed at Berbawr for his foolish answer.

According to the king, the one who said that fish was the purest of all living beings was correct and was to be made chief councilor. After sometime, Berbawr was bringing the king’s food and placed it before him. But as a fly sat on the food, he was taking it back and was about to throw it away. Shouting at him, the king chided, “Berbawr!” What the hell you are doing!? Why are you taking away my food without my order? Bring it back immediately.” Berbawr did so and the king had his food.

Next time, when the king was about to have his mean, Berbawr placed a fresh uncooked fish on the food. When the king saw it, he was so angry and shouted at Berbawr, “Why are you putting uncooked fish in my food? You have spoiled my food; take it back and bring a fresh one immediately.” As Berbawr brought a fresh food for the king, he said, “Sir, I realized now that you have detested fish much more than a fly. Yesterday, a fly sat on your food. I wanted to throw it away. But you did not allow me to do so. Today I put one fresh fish on your food and you do not want to have it. Do you now realize that among the animals, birds and insects, a fly is the purest of all?

The king was outwitted by Berbawr and he said, “Berbawr, I now realize that you are a very wise and intelligent man, I shall make you one of my councilors from today.” The king proposed another ordeal among his councilors, saying, “Whosoever can stand in the lake below up to one’s neck the whole night, will be made my chief councilor.” It was a winter night, each and every councilor jumped into the lake to try the ordeal, but alas! none of them except Berbawr was successful.

The next day, the king asked all his councilors whether they could carry out the ordeal. None but Berbawr kept mum. At last, Berbawr stood up and said, “Here I am”. But other councilors felt jealous of him and complained that his aunty made a big fire to dry her earthen pots on the hillock last night and the warmth of the big fire enabled him to stand in the lake the whole night.” Convinced of this allegation, the king could not promote Berbawr as the chief councilor.

Berbawr got angry and instructed one of the cooks to hang a pot of rice at the top end of a big bamboo and to make a small fire below it. The cook did as he was told to do. The king was very hungry and asked Berbawr to get his food ready. But Berbawr replied, “No Sir, the food is not ready yet.” The king was very angry and asked Berbawr to go to the cook and get his food ready immediately. Berbawr again said, “No, Sir, even the water is not yet boiling.” The king himself went to the cook and saw the pot of rice hanging at the top end of the big bamboo and the small burning fire on the ground below. He was very angry but the cook pleaded that he did as per the instruction from Berbawr. The king then turned to Berbawr saying, “Berbawr, don’t you know that I have the power to hang you and also to save you?” But Berbawr was not frightened to the least. He boldly said, “Sir, I do understand that you have such power. But remember this. Yesterday, I stood in the lake up to my neck the whole night and you were made to believe that the big fire which my aunty made in the hillock had sustained me to withstand the cold. Behold! The distance between the pot at the top end of the bamboo and the fire below is much nearer!” The king realized his mistake and said, “Berbawr, you are right, I forgive you.”

The next morning, the king ordered all his councilors to assemble at his palace. He told them the big fire on the hill could never give warmth to Berbawr in the lake below. He thus announced that Berbawr was being promoted as the chief councilor as he had promised.

TO SEARCH FOR THE KING’S WIFE
The king now wanted to marry. He went out with Berbawr in search of the most beautiful woman of the world. They decided that the king should go to the western region and Berbawr to the eastern region.

Having wondered from place to place, the king one day came across two brothers fighting for a magic pot. The king stopped and asked, “Are you not brothers? Why are you fighting like that?” Then the two brothers replied, “This is a magic pot. Whatever you asked, it will give you. Out father had passed away and we do not know who should inherit the pot. So we are fighting for it.” The king said, “All right. Let me decide it. Both of you go down below the village. I shall roll down the pot and whoever catches it shall have it.” The two brothers accepted the proposal.

The king was rolling down a very big stone instead of the magic pot and the two brothers were crushed to death. The magic pot thus belonged to the king. As he went further, he entered into a very big town. The king of the town had a very beautiful daughter. He proclaimed that whoever could offer him whatever he asked within one week, would marry his daughter; but after having tried, if he failed, he would become the king’s slave.

When Lalhmang came to hear the king’s proclamation, he sent a messenger that he could offer the king whatever he asked within the stipulated time. Accordingly, Lalhmang was called to appear before the king and when he saw the king’s daughter, he felt that the princess was the most beautiful he had ever seen. He then solemnly affirmed that he would provide the king whatever he demanded within one week, failing which he would become his slave.

THE MAGIC POT
With the help of the magic pot, Lalhmang could provide the king’s demands instantly for the first six days. All the rooms of the king’s palace had become full with all kinds of treasures. Lalhmang’s joy knew now bounds because he was sure to marry the beautiful princess. But there was someone who knew that Lalhmang could provide such costly treasures only because of the magic pot. On the very night of the six day, the pot was stolen. One the seventh day, the king sent a word to Lalhmang, saying, “Today is the final and last day. Then you will marry my daughter.”

As usual, Lalhmang looked for his magic pot. But alas! the pot was no more! The whole day he was looking for the magic pot. The sun was about to set but he could not find his magic pot. With a heavy heart, he said to himself, “What a wretched man I am! I have been a great king in my kingdom, eating the choicest food and having innumerable slaves. Now I myself have to become a slave!”

The sun set. As Lalhmang failed to provide the king with the golden chair and fan, he became one of the slaves of the king as per their agreement.

On the other side, Berbawr had already travelled a very far distance, moving on towards the east. One day he came to a place where there was a very big sea surrounded by different kinds of wild beautiful flowers. He also saw one old man sitting along the bank of the sea. The old man said to Berbawr, “You, Manmasipa, where are you going?” “I am coming to look for a suitable partner for my boss, Lalhmang,” replied Berbawr. The old man said, “Go across this sea and you will see a mountain beyond which there is a big village. Enter the village and look for a suitable partner.” Berbawr replied, “How can I cross this sea? I have no wings to fly!” The old man said, “Don’t worry. Just sit on that big rock and the bridge will hold out over the sea for you.” Saying so, the old man began to chant a magic song. All of a sudden, a thick cloud was bubbling out of the sea and behold! The big serpent inside the sea came out, joined with one another and then stretched out to make a long bridge over the sea. The old man waved, “You, Manmasipa. Go over the bridge and cross the sea. When you come back here, you make a smoke out of the frankincense of beraw*.”

Berbawr crossed over the sea easily and soon saw the mountain as he was told. He went straight to the village. But to his utter surprise, nobody was there in the village. He was roaming along hither and thither in the village. It was going to be dark and he was quite perplexed.

HIS MEETING WITH CHAWNGHNIENG
After sometime, he chanced to see a fire at one house of the corner of the village. He went to the house and saw a very beautiful girl and her name was Chawnghnieng. The girl was so happy to see him and offered him delicious food and drinks. The girl asked Berbawr, “Where do you come from? Why do you come to this place” “I came from a far western region. I am the Chief Councillor of Lalhmang, a famous king. Now the king wants to marry and I am coming here to look for a beautiful girl for him.” The way Berbawr was speaking gave the girl the impression that he was a very wise and polite person. Insisted the girl, “Then, what about you? Are you married?” “No, not yet,” replied Berbawr. “Having come here to a far-off place like this just to search for the wife of someone else, it means that there must have been someone…for you!” “No, Never! I wish if there is someone who loves…” replied Berbawr with a smile. At that moment, Berbawr and Chawnghnieng fell in love, swearing never to forsake each other till date.

SIBARNU CAME HOME
After meal Berbawr asked Chawnghnieng, “Why are you lone in this big village? What happened to the other folks?” “Yes, this indeed is a very big village. But there is a very wicked and fearful demoness. She walked across all the jhums and unfolded all the sesame plants and ate them up. Therefore, she is called Sibarnu (the one who eats up see-same). Likewise, she has killed and eaten all the other folks in the village. She said to me, “You are beautiful. So I shall spare you for some time. That is why I am alone now. Knowing not where to go, I am just waiting my fate,” replied Chawnghnieng. When Berbawr heard her pathetic and terrifying story, he really sympathized with her. As night was approaching, Chawnghnieng laid Berbawr at the corner of the house and covered him with a black cloth.

Sibarnu came home. The moment she entered her house, she was clearing her nose repeatedly, saying, “Hm! the smell of a human being.” Chawnghnieng immediately intervened, “What! I am a human being. So will you feel the smell of human being!” but Sibarnu protested, “This is not your smell. It is the smell of other human being.”

The next morning, Sibarnu said to Chawnghnieng, “I will not go to a far-off place. I shall come back soon.” On the previous occasions, whenever Sibarnu said she would come back soon, she used to spend a night outside. So Chawnghnieng easily made out what Sibarnu meant. No sooner had Sibarnu gone out, than she took out Berbawr from the corner of the house. When asked all about Sibarnu inquisitively, Chawnghnieng disclosed everything, saying, “Look at the pigeon above us. It is the soul of Sibarnu. The bow up there is her backbone and the gourd is her skull.” Soon they left Sibarnu’s house with the pigeon, the bow and the gourd in their hands.

SIBARNU RAN AFTER THEM
When Sibarnu returned home, she came to know that Chawnghnieng had escaped with someone. She ran after them in full speed. When Berbawr broke the two wings of the pigeon, Sibarnu’s hand also broke. But by making one hillock for one step, she was still running after them. Berbawr then broke one leg of the pigeon, and Sibarnu’s leg also broke. Berbawr and Chawnghnieng now reached the big sea and made a smoke out of the frankincense of beraw. The smoke was curling up and reached the old man on the other side of the sea. The old man again chanted his magical song and the big serpents came out and joined one after another to make a long bridge over the wide sea and Berbawr and Chawnghnieng safely crossed the sea. At the same time, Sibarnu walked across the sea with one lef. Berbawr broke the other leg of the pigeon and Sibarnu’s other left also broke. In spite of her broken hands and legs, Sibarnu managed to swim in the sea. At this, Berbawr broke the bow and Sibarnu’s backbone was also broken. But still Sibarnu managed to swim in the sea. Then Berbawr broke the gourd into pieaces and Sibarnu’s skull was also completely broken and at last died in the sea.

WATER OF MONKEY
Berbawr and Chawnghnieng feld secure because they could kill sibarnu. They then went to the old man, narrated their pathetic story right from the beginning. They also profusely thanked him for all his help and blessings. The old man once again blessed them, saying, “Berbawr, people will feel jealous of you because you wife is so beautiful and they may kill you. Therefore, pour this water of money into the water for her bath, then she will turn into a monkey.” Saying so, the old man filled the red gourd with the water of monkey and gave it to Berbawr. “When you are about to reach you village, pour this water again into the water for her bath, she will turn herself into a normal human being.” Saying so, the old man again filled the white gourd with living water and gave it to Berbawr. Bidding farewell to the old man, Berbawr and his wife went on a very long journey to return home. After some days, they reach the very place where Berbawr and his boss, Lalhmang had parted each other and the flower which they planted at the bypath had already faded away.

TO RESCUE LALHMANG
After many days’ journey, Berbawr and Chawnghnieng came to a very big town. Berbawr made an augury and came to know that his boss, Lalhmang was in the town as one of the slaves of the king. As Berbawr and his wife were about to enter the town, they saw a group of male-folk to fetch water from the pond. They were the slaves of the king. When asked for whom they were fetching water, they replied that the water was for the bath of the princess. Berbawr secretly poured the monkey’s water into their water-pot and told them that a very unusual incident would befall them soon.

When the princess had her bath, alas! All of a sudden, she turned into a monkey. The kinf and his councilors were at a loss what to do. They tried all kinds of sacrificial rites but of no avail. Out of despair, the king made a declaration throughout his kingdom that whosoever could cure the princess would marry her and in addition he would also give him half of his kingdom. All tried but failed. At last, one of the slaves said to the king, “When we went to fetch water, one vagabond ‘Vai’ said to us that that a very unusual incident would befall us soon in the palace. He would surely know how o cure the princess.” Berbawr was then summoned before the king. When asked whether he would be able to cure the princess, he told the king and his councilors to wait three days. One the third day, Berbawr came and entered the bathroom of the princess and emptied all the water in the pots and ordered the slaves to the fill the pots with fresh water. Berbawr secretly poured the living water into the pots and said, “Let the princess come and have her bath.” The moment the princess had her bath with the water, she was turned again into a normal human being, even much more beautiful than before. The king and the people were overwhelmed with joy. Giving his daughter to Berbawr, the king said, “As I have already promised, half of the kingdom will be yours. What else I have to give you? Feel free to ask for anything.” But Berbawr declined the king’s generous offers and preferred to take one of the king’s slaves.

The king made a big farewell feast for his daughter and invited all the important persons and chiefs within his kingdom. Berbawr and the princess were seated on the golden throne with the golden crown. Each and every tribe came and showed their folk dances. This merriment and feast continued for seven days. One the eve of their departure, berbawr had to choose one slave and selected Lalhmang. Lalhmang thought to himself, “Oh! Just to get beaten and to do all kinds of manual works.” For he did not know the man who had selected him was Berbawr, his chief councilor.

SUCCESSFUL RETURN OF BERBAWR AND HIS BOSS
The king seated Berbawr on the male elephant and his daughter on the female elephant followed by ten horses carrying the costly treasures of the princess. On the way, Berbawr narrated all his adventures to Lalhmang, but the latter still did not recognize him. When they were nearing their capital, Berbawr asked Lalhmang to sit with the princess. Hesitant, lalhmang knelt down before Berbawr, saying, “My lord, have mercy on me, Please do not ask me to sit with the princess. Let me continue to walk on foot.” But Berbawr insisted, “Don’t feel shy. You are also a famous king. You must ride on the female elephant with the princess.” Then, Berbawr confessed that he was no other than Berbawr, his chief councilor. When Lalhmang came to know the truth, he could not control himself and tears were rolling down his cheeks. Turning to Berbawr, he knelt down again before him saying, “You are my rescuer. You are my god. How can I marry this beautiful princess? It is you who is to marry her!” Berbawr replied, “No, I have my own wife now.” Saying so, Berbawr asked Lalhmang and the queen to go ahead. As they reached the village pond, Berbawr bathed the monkey with the living water and the monkey turned again to the most beautiful woman, even more beautiful than the queen. As they entered the capital, every eye turned towards Chawnghnieng. In this way, Lalhmang and Berbawr lived happily again.
