Their sojourn in Western Burma, into which they eventually around seventh

declared as part of the British-India by a proclamation in 1895. North and south
hills were united into Lushai Hills district in 1898 with Aizawl as its
headquarters.
The process of the consolidated of the British administration in tribal
dominated area in Assam stated in 1919 when Lushai Hills along with some other
hill districts was declared a Backward Tract under government of India Act. The
tribal districts of Assam including Lushai Hills were declared Excluded Area in
