Upat Awk Tlak "Lawngtlai Laimi?"

Lawngtlang khua le Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC) hi 1972 ah an rak sermi a si. Mah hlan ahcun, Pawi-Kakher Regional Council (PLRC) tiah ti an rak si. A caan ah Chhim Tupui District ti zongah an rak auh tawn. PLRC chungah, Pawi, Lakher le Chakma miphun an rak i tel hna. Ahnu ah Pawi timi cu Lai ah an thlen i, Lakher timi zong Mara ah an thlen. Cun Chakma cu an hmun i, Mizoram thlanglei ah Autonomous District Council pathum an rak chuak. Pawi timi le Lakher timi hi Mizo nih an auhnak hna min a rak si.

Lawngtlai ummi Laimi hna hi, atu ah 117,894 (2016) ah an um. An tlawm ti lo. Lawngtlai hi an khualipi a si i, khua dawh ngai a si. Lawngtlai Peng ti zong ah theih a si. Atu i Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC) timi hi, a kau ngai. Tiram a tha. Tlawr zong tawr le cheng in an cin. Cun Ngengpi Sanctuary timi Saram Hual ngan taktak an ngei i, cu Ngengpi Sanctuary ahcun vui hi 5-10 karlak an um lai tiah ruah a si. Tupi hmawng tha taktak a si. A kauh pin ah a sau tuk. A hmawng tuk fawn. Cun Camdur timi hmun rawn kau taktak an ngei i, cuka hmun cu leikuang i tuah ahcun Mizoram pumpi a cawm khawh hna lai tiah ruah a si. Cu tluk cun LADC area hi a thami le rummi a si ve.

Hi district ummi minung hna hi, mi tampi nih Mizo ah an rak ruah sual hna. A ruang cu an min ah Mizo min asi. An thilri ah Mizo thilri a si. An holh, ca, hla, bia, Bible le hla cauk ah Mizo lawngte a si dih. A umnak ram Mizoram a si. An eidin, uarmi thilri, eidin, tirawl le cawlcangh ning vialte Mizo sining dih a si. Cu vialte a ruang cu, chan tam ngai Lai holh le ca an thlau caah a si. An sining kha a zeizong te in Mizo sining a si ko. Mizo sining nih a dolh dih hna.

Lawngtlai Laimi hi Mizo he an i dannak pakhat te lawng a um. Cucu "Phun min" ah a si. Cinzah, Zathang, Fambawl ti in, Lai phun lawngte an si. Cucu Mizo he an i dannak bik a si. Cu dah ti lo cu, zeihmanh Mizo he dannak an ngei lo. Phun i dannak cu, a leng in theih khawhmi a si lo i, an tuanbia le sining hlat lawng ah theih khawhmi thil a si caah, a leng zohnak ahcun Mizo le Lai cu thleidan khawh ding hrimhrim an si lo.

Cuticun an tlau ko cang rua tiah ruahmi cu, Lawngtlai Laimi nih an sining taktak cu nihin ni ah an hlam than cang. Tuanbia an hmuhchuah than cang. A ruang cu hlan ah, Mizoram hi district (3) ah an rak then i, Aizawl, Lunglei le Chhim Tuipui District ti an rak si.

Chhimtuipui District an headquarter cu Saiha a rak si i, subdiv isional headquarter cu Lawngtlai le Chawngte an rak si. Chhimtuipui District cu khuate thanchonak blocks (4) ah an rak then i, an min hna cu Lawngtlai, Sangau, Tuipang le Chawngte an rak si. November 1998 ah Lawngtlai District zong an van ser than. A fawinak in Lawngtlai District hi Lai district ti zong ah an auh tawn.

Lawngtlai kan kal lio ah an rak chimmi cu, Pawi le Lakher hna nih, an mah min tein Autonomous District ngeih ding an i timh tik ah, Lawngtlai Peng cu Lai District tiah min thlen ding a si i, Saiha Peng cu Mara District tiah thlen a hauh tikah, Lawngtlai Peng Laimi nih Lai an sinak langhter dingmi thil zeihmanh a um ti lo. Lai timi min bunhmi zei hmanh an ngei ti lo. Cucaah Lai District tinak ding caah, Lai an sinak langhter a hau cang. Min tete ngeih a hau cang.

Cucaah Lawngtlai Laimi cu "pup" tiah politics ah an mit a vaar ciammam i, an ram ah Krihfabu min ah Lai timi an van bunh hna. Zoram Baptist kha Lairam Baptist ah an thlen. Cun bu dangdang hna nih an min ah, Lairam Isua Krista Baptist Kohran (LIKBK) tibantuk an rak i bunh hna (LIKBK le bang hi a min zong a sau bak). Lai holh, Lai ca le Lai sining an van tanh. Biakinn min tiang an van thlen.

Cucaah biaknak le politics hi voi tampi cu vawleicung taktak ahcun an kalti peng i then khawh taktak an rak si lo. An i tlai i, an i cawh lengmang. Cucu Mizoram ah fiang tuk in hmuh khawh a si. USA zong ah hmuh khawh a si i, Lai Autonomous District Council sernak zong ah hmuh khawh a si. Zeicatiah ram, miphun, biaknak, nunphung le politics cu, thenrawi khawh an si lo. Israel miphun tuanbia ah an Pathian, an ram, an miphun, an politics, an sipuazi le raltuknak tiang in thenrawi khawh a si lo bantuk a si. Lawngtlai Laimi zong Israel bantuk in ram le miphun an daw. Upat awk an tlak.

Lawngtlai Peng um Laimi cu an tlaunak kum tam tuk a si cang caah, Lai an sinak taktak hlam ding cu a fawi lo. Chan tam nawn rauh ding a si. An tlau ning a rak fak ngai cang. Kawlram tuanbia i, Pyo miphun an tlau bantuk dengmang khi an rak si. Mizo sining nih a dolh dih ko hna. Lawngtlai Laimi hi zeitluk in dah an tlau timi hi 1989 Lawngtlai ka phak ah ka mit in ka hmuhmi a si. Mizo nih an dolh dih ko hna. "Lim nih sakhi a lemh bantuk in an lemh hna." Lai timi le Lai holh hi, Council Veng kuakap te lawng ah a rak um. Chimphu a rak si lo.

Cu Lawngtlai ka phak ah ka lung a chuakmi  cu Kalewa khua luh lai i, sign board an tialmi ca a si. Cucu hitin a si:

"Vawlei dolh ruangah miphun a tlau lo, midang nih dolh ruang ah miphun a tlau"

Hi ka hmuh bak in, Pyo miphun cu vawlei dolh ruang ah an tlau silo in, an pawng ummi miphun dang dolhnak ruangah an tlau timi kha fiang tuk in ka theih than. Lawntlai Laimi zong an tlaunak a ruang cu, Mizo sining nih a dolh hna caah a si. Cucu Kawl phungthluk in tah tik ah theihfian khawh a si (US Laimi zong hi kan i ralrin lo ahcun miphun dang nih a kan dolh caan a ra ve ko lai. Lairam Laimi zong Kawl nih dolh khawh kan si ve. Ralrin a hau).

Pathian khuakhan cu thil khuaruahhar a si ko. "Tuanbia hi a mah tein aa tharchuah than tawn" tiah an ti i, Lawngtlai Laimi zong, "Ho dah kan si taktak?" timi an van i hmu chuak. Cu biahalnak cu an van ruah tikah, an sining taktak (origin) kha an i hmu chuak i, "Laimi kan si" ti kha an i fiang. Cuticun Lai an sinak kha tanh hram an rak thawk. An khul zong a rang. Nihin ni ahcun, Kawlram Laimi nakin Lai thinlung an ngei deuh rua tiah ka ruah.

Lawngtlai nih, Laimi sinak tanh hram an van thawk bak in, Kawlram Laimi he zong pehtlaihnak biatak tein a van i thawk. 1988 ah Laimi tampi ramkhel rian an tuan tikah, Lawngtlai cu an i dornak le thuhnak a rak si. Aizawl, Lunglei, Saiha le Mizoram ka dangdang i, Laimi a kan pawnchuah le tlaih lio zong ah, Lawngtlai cu Laimi a dirkamhtu an rak si. Keimah hmanh, ka dang i thil ka zuar ngamlo caan ahcun Lawngtlai District chungah ka rak i chawk i, ka hel tawn. Lawngtlai peng phak cu hna a rak ngam tuk. Khua dangdang kan va tlawn i, Lawngtlai District luhnnak ramri van phak cu, an ramri i sign board van hmuh ah lungthin a rak dai i, hna a rak ngam tuk. Cu an sign board ah an tialmi cu hitin a si:

"Welcome to Lai Autonomous District"

Lai District chung van luh cu, hna a ngam. Thinlung a dai. Miphun ram phanh cu a sunglawi khun tuk. Kan zaa a lawng tuk. Lawngtlai phanh cu, Mizoram khua ka phanhmi vialte lakah ka hna a ngam cem. Hakha le Thantlang panh tluk in ka thinlung a dai. Cucu zeidang ruang asi hrimhrim lo; miphun khat kan si ruang ah a si ko. A taktak ahcun, a theih hmanh a kan thei lem lo nain, Burma in a rami Laimi paohpaoh cu kan hna a rak ngam taktak ko. Nulepa khua phak tluk ah ka rak ruah.

Cuticun Lawngtlai Laimi nih Laimi sinak an van tanh taktak hi, 1985-88 kuakap in biapi bik aa thawk a si i, thiltha tam tuk a chuahpi. Lawngtlai ah Lai thilri zuar biatak tein a rak i thawk colh. Tam tuk hringhran hi Lawngtlai le Saiha district ah zuar a rak si. Hakha lei nih Lai thil in India tangka million in an hmuh lai ka zumh. Cuticun Laimi sinak hi duhsah tein an rak uar le an rak tanh. Bus mawng hmanh nih, Lai holh an thiam na lo tein, pai lengmang in Lai holh in an rak kan chonh tawn. Lai District Council zong nih, an zung chungah Lai holh in cauk tete zong an rak chuah hna. Lai hlaphel tete zong a rak chuak. Lai holh le lam zong tha an rak pek. Laica cawn zong tha an rak pek. Pu Chawn Kio tialmi cauk te hna le a dangdang zong District Council zungah an rak chiah hna.

Internet riantuannak a van thang i, Lung aa lawmh khunmi cu, Lawntlai nih LAI IDOL zuamnak te hna an van tuah. Lai Idol ah pakhatnak hmumi zong 2015 CBCUSA Civui ah a rak kan telpi ve. A sunglawi tuk. Hakha ahcun, "Chin Idol" tiah kan ti. A ngaingai ahcun, "Chin cu kan si bak lo." Kawl le Mirang nih a kan bunh chawmmi kan si. Lai tiah aa timi kan rak si ko i, Lai Idol ti ve ding khi a si ko. Cu zawn ahcun Lawngtlai lei nih miphun thinlung lei ahcun a kan tei deuh tiah ka ruah (Chin zong cu kan i funtomnak ca ahcun a tha ve chung ko rih).

1988 hnu in ram a buai tik zongah, CNF tambik an i dornak cu kan unau umnak Mizoram a si ko i, cu zong ah Lai District hi tambik an rak i dornak a si. Laimi le Burma mi a dirkamh cemtu cu Lawngtlai District kan unau an si. Ei kan kawlnak bik le tangka kan laknak bik zong an mah an si. Autonomous District an si caah, phaisa zong a rak tama taktak. Laimi hlasakthiam Lg. Van Dawt Cin te hna zong an rak sawm hna. Cu nih cun kan i dawtnak zong a santer chin rih.
