SOCIO-ETHICAL STRUCTURE OF PRE- COLONIAL MIZO

Abstract

History has witnessed many great individuals of tremendous importance, who have carried out great responsibilities. 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.
