This book examines the British colonial expansion in the so-called
unadministered hill tracts of the Indo-Burma frontier and the
change of colonial policy from non-intervention to intervention.
The book begins with the end of the First Anglo-Burmese War
(1824-26), which resulted in the British annexation of the
North-Eastern Frontier of Bengal and the extension of its sway over
the Arakan and Manipur frontiers, and closes with the separation of
Burma from India in 1937. The volume documents the resistance of
the indigenous hill peoples to colonial penetration; administrative
policies such as disarmament; subjugation of the local chiefs under
a colonial legal framework and its impact; standardisation of
'Chin' as an ethnic category for the fragmented tribes and
sub-tribes; and the creation and consolidation of the Chin Hills
District as a political entity to provide an extensive account of
British relations with the indigenous Chin/Zo community from 1824
to 1935. By situating these within the larger context of British
imperial policy, the book makes a critical analysis of the British
approach towards the Indo-Burma frontier. With its coverage of key
archival sources and literature, this book will interest scholars
and researchers in modern Indian history, military history,
colonial history, British history, South Asian history and
Southeast Asian history.
