4. In all these proceedings, both Mr. Wilson and Mr. West were of the opinion that these frivolous and mostly false charges were brought up mainly with a view to have Chief Pum Za Mang removed from his Chieftaincy and his tribal area broken up into Independent petty Chieftaincies. From the perusal of the records and the existence of the memorials, to His Excellency the Government of Burma, there is no doubt that the only motive behind all these agitations was the desire to have petty Independent Chiefs and to break away from the control of Kam Hau Chief. While Chief Pum Za Mang may not have been entirely blameless in his dealings with the people in the past, I agree that the present charges after a lapse of some years were brought up at the instigation of the anti-Chief Pum Za Mang with the sole purpose of having him removed and his area broken up. It is quite well known that the Zos, Thados, Muizawls and Tuithangs have been trying to break away from the Kamhau rule. When the chances of their becoming Chiefs themselves appear gradually dimmer, they became the leader of commoners wanting no chiefs at all throughout the district.
5. It appears that their agitation is going to succeed. It is learned that Gov’t. is considering the question of the abolition of chiefs very seriously. In fact, the matter seems to be one of a foregone conclusion. Therefore, I do not see any necessity in examining in detail all these charges – brought up against Chief Pum Za Mang. The idea underlying the original order of the Deputy Commissioner and the Frontier Areas Administration to peruse the enquiries fully was to ascertain if Chief Pum Za Mang should be ‘officially’ re-instated once and for all. This consideration no longer exists in view of the probabilities that Chief’s post will be abolished and the present incumbents pensioned off. It is also likely that the present tribal divisions will be subjected to carving up to suit the demands of an administration by Intermediate Councils or by Myo-okes.
6. Therefore it seems to me that the wishes of Zos, Thados, Muizawl Headman, and Ex. Subedar Thang Za Kai of Tuithang will have been automatically met in the near future by Government’s orders. They will most probably have their own respective Intermediate Councils independent of any single chief. It is also a foregone conclusion that all customary dues will be abolished as from 1st January 1948.
