ZBC ADOPTION HONG PIAN KHIATDAN ATOM IN.

ADOPTION OF THE NAME ZOMI BAPTIST 
CONVENTION 
 There had ever been any formally constituted organization of the Christian Churches in
the Chin Hills. When returned from the U.S.A. arriving at Rangoon on 18th September, 1950
I was invited to speak at the Annual Meeting to the American Baptist Missionary Fellowship
in October. I my speech I attempted to express what I thought to be most essential for the
growth of Christianity among our people. I explained that the Chin Hills had been the most
neglected and the least developed area in Burma. To remedy this I made the following two
proposals:

1. In order to strength Christian churches, the village churches be formed into properly
constituted local association and there should be overall organization embracing all the
organizations
2. A well-experienced missionary should came and a survey of all the Chin-Hills and give
us advice on various projects of development.
 The missionary Fellowship approved both proposals. Accordingly, March 1952. Mission
Secretary E.E. Sowards visited the Chin Hills during February and March 1952. By the time
both the Tedim and Hakha missionaries had left on furlough. So, I myself had to accompany
him throughout his survey tour. A the conclusion of his survey tour he advised me as follows:
a) He said the government in recent months changed its policy on mission work in
Burma. Under this new policy our days of missionaries in Burma numbered. And we
might be asked to leave the country and day. What you proposed in October 1950 must
be proceeded forthwith. Just forming properly constituted Christian bodies-local
association and an overall convention, as speedily as you could. This properly
constituted Christian bodies must be ready to make overall missionary whenever the
missionaries had to leave.
b) And when this convention was formed it should be purely national organization,
bearing national name, and run by national personnel. No foreign missionaries and
should hold any official position and should not be a member of any committee, but
should work in an advisory capacity only.
 According to his advice, I began forming the Tedim, Falam, and Hakha associations
during 1952. The in order to constitute to overall organization, asked the three Associations
to selected ten leaders each form the three associations to form a Constitution Drafting
Committee.

 This Consitution Darfting Committee met at Falam Baptist Church during the last week of
October and the first week of November 1952. I acted as Chairman of the Constitution
Drafting Committee.

1) Having explained to the Committee that we were forming a purely national
organization, I proposed the name of our organization should bear our national name.
Outsiders call us Chin, but we never call ourselves by that name. So I believe you all
agree to reject Chin to be the name of our organization and all the members of the
Committee agreed by acclamation.
2) Then I proposed that we should be take ZOMI as our name as this is our correct
historical name. And we should call our organization: ZOMI BAPTIST CONVENTION.
3) A man sprang to his feet and rejected the name ZOMI outright saying, “Saya, in Hakha
we apply this word, ‘Zo.’ to the most backward and the despicable people. So we do not
want this name for our big Christian Organization.
4) “In that cases what name do you like,” I asked and replies, “LAIMI,” 5) Then I explained,
“I proposed ZOMI because I believe it is the correct original
historical name of our people, from the Naga Hills to the Bay of Bengal. To the north of
Tedim, the Thados and others tribes call themselves ZO, the Lushais MIZO, in Hakha,
ZOTUNG, ZOPHEI, ZOKHUA. In Gangaw area ZO is peonounced YAW, in Mindat JO
or Cho, and in Paletwa KHOMI, In Prome, Thayetmyo, Sandoway and Bassein areas they
call themselves A-sho. So, I convinced that in spite of slight variations this ZO is our
original historical national name”
6) After this explanation the Rev. Sang Fen who was the most senior and revered pastor
from the Hakha stood up and said, “What Saya Hau Go has just said is correct. In our
younger days we were told that we were born at YOTLANG. And ZO is our original
name. The word LAI is not our national name. LAI was first uses by denizens of Hakha.
It means our village people, our own local people, as distinct from outsiders. It is not our
national name,” Saying this, he wayed to Rev. Sang Fen who also was the second eldest
and most respected pastor and asked, “What is your opinion on this, Saya?
7) The Saya Sang Feb stood up and briefly said, “I agree. I believe ZO is our national
name and I myself am the pastor of ZO-KHUA.”
8) After the two most senior and revered pastors of the Hakha area rose and spoke in
support of my proposal, not a single voice of dissent was heard and the ZOMI BAPTIST
CONVENTION was unanimously approved.
9) What the Constitution Drafting Committee had approved at the Falam meeting was
officially and universally adopted by the general meeting at Saikah, March 5-7, 1953.
 The alone dissenting voice seemed to be a more idiosynacracy or at best a limited local
usage without any sound historical basis, because not a single member of the Constitution
Drafting, Committee voiced any support at Falam. The general meeting was held on March 5-
7 1953 at Saikah village in the now Thantlang township of the Hakha area was attended by
3,000 people Christians. Of these about two hundred were from the Falam area and less than
ten from the Tedim area, because Saikah was 7-8 days’ foot journey from Tedim area. Even
there, where by far the vast majority of delegates were from the Hakha area there was not a
single voice of support for LAIMI. I, but the name ZOMI BAPTIST CONVNTION was
born, named and based on the foundation of the historical truth, confirmed by the General
meeting at Saikah with the most remarkable spirit of Christian harmony and unity never
experienced before or since.

 I was asked, out of necessity to serve temporary for one year as General Secretary,
pending the arrival of the Rev. Van Bik who was ear-marked to relieve me on arrival from
U.S.A the following year.

ZCD TE NGIMNA: THE POLICIES OF ZOMI CONGRESS FOR DEMOCRACY

My dear ones, 

Information technology enables us argue, though we live around the world, on what we concern generally Zomi with regards to Zomi-related issues like identity, politics, religion, development and what not. The habit of argument is a signpost, where we are standing on right the moment, pointing at a better society which is an achievable if we are clever enough making it use to head it, I believe.

I, notwithstanding the least in the Zomi Congress for Democracy, am pleased to quench the interesting queries which have been raised by beloved Zomi netters, as the best I can. I appreciate all valuable times spent for the affairs of Zomi even in group-mails.

I am pretty sure that Zomi at Chin State in Burma (and across Burma at some extent) have digested the policies of Zomi Congress for Democracy (ZCD), since ZCD had been in the life of Zomi National Congress (ZNC) backing to 1989 till the dated before the name was forced change. To my notice, it seems ZCD could not outreach its policies to a couple number of Zomi, who are supposed to be the most advanced in the world of Zomi, in developed countries where material sufficiency is one of the most characters.

ZCD, indeed, inherits the commitment of ZNC to its supporter Zomi in Chin State and across Burma as well as around the world with strong policies as listed below:

      I.            (1) To legalize Zomi instead of Chin

   II.            (2) To raise Panglong Spirit

III.            (3) To practice Democracy

IV.            (4) To practice Market Economy

The first and foremost policy entitles to identity-issued which identifies ZNC/ZCD as national party since its primary concern asserts that Zomi is the name of those who are known as Chin. ZNC/ZCD has been firmly standing up for the name “Zomi” to be legalized.

Identity-issued can be illustrated with a couple of arguments in support to the first policy. As we are certain that none of us obtains the word“Chin” in the dialect we speak, nor in all the traditional songs composed of, we find “Chin” neither. The traditional song is the most evidence to approve history- whether true or false.

“It (The name Chin) smells like slavery,” as Pu Chin SianThang, President of ZCD, discussed the standing-point of ZCD in the meeting of Ethnic Nationalities Alliance and United Nationalities Federal Council held in Chiangmai, Thailand on Sunday, 28 July in 2013, it might be one of the causes that keeps the Chin State lags behind in comparison to other States in Burma.

Religious leaders along with delegates from all the Christian denominations in Chin State anointed ‘Zomi’ to be a national name by the name of Almighty God at Falam in 1952 during the Baptist Convention. The abundant blessing would only come to us through our God recognizes Zomi. If He blesses Chin, we all could have advanced the most in Burma. Why is it to depart dear ones in search of green pastures? Why such depart is the most only way to survive life? Poor!!!

My dear ones, why should we still be blocking the grace of God with the name Chin is the first important policy of ZNC/ZCD. Zomi is the name to seek human dignity, and blessing from Abba Father.

Moreover, Dr. Vum Kho Hau in his book “A Profile of Burma” stating that “We called ourselves Zo-Man time immemorial”.

The famous politician as well as a writer U Thein Pe Myint, too, acknowledges Zomi in his book: Vitaeta Tai Asa (The Beginning of Special Division), which won the award of national literature in 1967.

In her “Freedom from Fear”, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the noble peace prize winner asserted that Zomi is the name they themselves call.

The above all reasons are quite enough evidences to legalize Zomi instead of Chin without delay. The outsiders acknowledge the name Zomi. Why should Zomi hesitate to claim the identity? Will the generation (Today Zomi) craft the History? Or the generation just studies the History? Does the generation accept its slavery name? The option is in the hand of Today Zomi. The decision made is the destiny of the next generation.

The second policy firmly stands up for the destiny of the nationalities in Burma. The policy emerges as to fulfill the essence of Panglong Accord which was signed in to build a Federal Union to ensure such the issues:national equality and self-determination, to all nationalities in the country.

The national equality refers to equal representation of each nationality in the Parliament. The Parliament, comprises of the upper house and the lower house, is a bicameral.The both houses possess the equal sovereignty. In the upper house, representatives from each nationality will be sent equally, whereas the lower house will be occupied by representatives from the constituencies which are decided on population-based.

The self-determination possesses sovereignty over legislative, judicial and executive to be enjoyed by each federal member state.

The division of powers between the federal union and federal member state must be clearly written down in the constitution. More over the separation of powers amongst executive, judicial and legislative should be checked and balanced.

Powers such as reserved powers, exclusive powers, concurrent powers should be well defined to assign to either level of government. Indeed, the residual powers should be assigned to each federal member state rather than federal union government.

As a matter of fact, to safeguard the above mentioned issues, it is the constitution.

The third policy: Democracy is the “the government of the people, by the people, for the people”, in the famous words of Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States of America from 1861-65.

It is the ZCD that stands up for Democracy, even during the turbulent passage to be a voice of hope to people who has been depressed.

In a democracy, every citizen can participate in this process- by freely acceding information about political issues, by openly expressing the own opinion on public affairs, by formulating expectations, proposals or requirements without fear of repression, by voting in elections by engaging in civil society organizations or political parties, or by standing up as a candidate in democratic election.

In a democracy, most if not all citizens should be involved in political activities. However, a direct democracy where every citizen is directly involved in all political decisions is not possible within modern mass societies. That is why a modern democracy needs institutions and organizations that represent the will and the interests of the citizens as authentically as possible. These can be associations, informal groups or non-governmental organizations. In particular, the political parties carry out such a representative function. They offer to the citizens the possibility to influence politics and political decisions. They are an important instrument and institution of politics.

Without political parties, a modern representative democracy is not conceivable. They articulate and integrate different interests, visions and opinions.

Even though political criticism of political parties is easy and always popular, political parties are indispensable for a democracy.

There are basic elements of democracy as follows:

·        (1) The governing bodies have to be occupied by elected authorities, who are accountable to the voters.

·        (2) Free and fair elections have to take place regularly.

·        (3) All adult have to possess the right to vote and to be elected to political office.

·        (4) Freedom of opinion has to reign without anybody being persecuted for freely expressing his opinion.

·        (5) Free access to alternative and pluralistic sources of information should be guaranteed.

·        (6) The right to form independent associations, groups of interest and political parties must exist so that the previously mentioned rights can be executed.

Parties carry out a political leadership role that a modern democracy cannot do without. As Konrad Adenauer, the first chancellor and prime minister of the Federal Republic of Germany after the Second World War has stated: “Each political party exists for the benefit of the people and not for itself. Political parties, their members and leaders are therefore more than ever required to face this responsibility.”

The fourth policy is to practice free market economy.The free market is an economic system where the state only intervenes to collect taxes, enforce contract and private ownership.

The market will fix prices using the forces of supply and demand. That will results in the equilibrium in economy.

Adam Smith, cited as the father of modern economics, in his book “Nation of Wealth” used the term ‘invisible hands’ to illustrate the profit-driven motive made out of one’s efforts will definitely prosper the nation.

The market economic system equally offers every citizen to access information, to run business, and to compete in market.

My dear ones, I admit that your concern in the affairs of Zomi is precious. Your practical contributions towards it will be more valuable than anything else. Zomi longs for you!

Warm regards,

Anthony Pu Kap Khan Khual
