Autonomous administrative divisions of India
The Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India allows for the formation of autonomous administrative divisions which have been given autonomy within their respective states. Most of these autonomous district councils are located in North East India with the exception of two in Ladakh and one in West Bengal. Presently, 10 Autonomous Councils in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura are formed by virtue of the Sixth Schedule with the rest being formed as a result of other legislation.
Sinlung
Sinlung, sometimes called Chhinlung, Khur or Khul, is the ancestral home of the Chin/Kuki/Mizo people (Zohnahthlâk mi/people ). The Mizo, Hmars, and other Zo people trace their origin to Chhinlung / Sinlung. Most of the tribes/clans in Mizoram and its neighbouring regions have talk about Chhinlung as their most ancient origin, which is orally told by the ancient Mizo and other sub-tribe/clan. Numerous poems, songs and tales about this place have been made and handed down from generation to generation.
Famine in India
Famine had been a recurrent feature of life in the South Asian subcontinent countries of India and Bangladesh, most notoriously under British rule. Famines in India resulted in more than 30 million deaths over the course of the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. Famines in British India were severe enough to have a substantial impact on the long-term population growth of the country in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Indian agriculture is heavily dependent on climate: a favorable southwest summer monsoon is critical in securing water for irrigating crops.
