AN ANALYSIS ON THE CONCEPT OF LIBERATION IN MIZO SAKHUA

Abstract

THERE HAVE BEEN several writings on the elements of Mizo Sakhua (translated as religion). 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.
