Such individuals indeed have given great efforts in carrying out their responsibilities. The results of their actions had great impacts in their present times as well as the future. However, the duties fulfilled by such men of honour became meaningful only because of the others or their supporters who gave them acknowledgments and who in turn carried out their corresponding duties. It was only because of the joint effort of these two factors that gave rise to fruitful consequences. Likewise, in every society, one cannot fail to see the importance of leaders whom we call kings or chiefs. However, just as important as them, are the other members of the society who play different roles. Every member in their own capacities has a certain set of roles to play. It is only when each member carries out their duties diligently that the society functions impeccably. This shows the importance of each member of the society irrespective of their status. Pre-colonial Mizo society was also this kind of society.

Most dealt with the ritual performances and descriptions of its practices embedded in tradition.1 This paper aims to analyze in a nutshell, the views and beliefs of the early Mizo people in the area of liberation and its related issues, and thereby attempting to bring out certain problems or shortcomings in the whole framework. I do not find it important to put efforts for solutions for those are things of the past and obsolete practices, rather it would be good to ask certain possible reasons for which those were so, and most importantly the possible consequence.

A wide spatial variability in different forms of land degradation was observed in Tuirini watershed, which occupies about 411.38 km2 in Mizoram through local peoples’ perceptions and responses regarding soil degradation, deforestation and water scarcity. The present study is an attempt to analyze the factors responsible for various forms of land degradation along with farmer’s perception in Tuirini watershed. The practices such as shifting cultivation, cutting of forest for fuel wood, lumbering and more interestingly, growing ginger resulted in large scale erosion and deforestation thereby led to massive land degradation. In addition, high pressure of demand by the rapidly increasing population and high degree of land use change results the shortening of fallow period which induces land degradation. Regarding the water supply, the people in this watershed receiving good amount of rainfall but facing water scarcity due to lack of practicing rainwater harvesting.

Soil erosion assessment is therefore necessary to identify degraded land areas for implementing effective conservation and management strategies. Hence, this study focuses on estimating potential soil erosion and analyzing their spatial patterns in the Chite watershed, situated in the Eastern Himalayas, India, using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model in Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. Various datasets encompassing remote sensing, ground observations, and laboratory analysis were employed to prepare the model’s input factors. The estimated mean erosion rate of the study area is 6.10 t ha-1 year-1, which produces a total soil loss of about 357580.90 t year-1. Spatial analysis reveals that about 5.79% of the watershed is under a relatively severe erosion category, contributing 70.13% of the total soil loss. Soil erosion appraisal with respect to the land use/ land cover (LULC) indicates a considerable consequence of various anthropogenic activities in the watershed. Higher rates of soil erosion are mainly observed on the bare land, cropland, and settlement areas which are characterized by steep and continuous slopes. The present findings were also validated with previous work undertaken in some comparable regions. This research can serve as a reliable tool towards the development of successful soil conservation measures and for promoting sustainable land use planning in this ecologically sensitive tropical mountainous region.
