ABSTRACT
While the conclusion summarises the main arguments in all the chapters, it argues that the Chin/Zo people did not reconcile to colonial rule as manifested in the uprisings that happened during colonial period itself. It also argues that the separation of Burma from India by the Government of India Act in 1935 was the beginning of the division of the Chin/Zo people into different nation states in the postcolonial time that has greatly shaped the trajectories of the history of Chin/Zo people. The conclusion also highlights the need to pay attention to the fragmentation of indigenous space by colonial and postcolonial borders and how the border has shaped and dictated identity and belonging of people of the same ethnic community in postcolonial times.
