ZO RE-UNIFICATION ORGANISATION

Political Background

Before the British Colonisation, the ZO race remained undisturbed and enjoy her Fundamental freedom and no foreigner dominated the ZO country and the ZO inhabitants therein. But after the British Coloniser ruled over India for a hundred years and Burma for fifty years; they also started invading the ZO country from different corners and atlast, the British also subjugated the ZO people and divided the country with the people living therein into three different segments. Eastern ZO country was kept under Burmese Administration, Western ZO country under Bengal and central and northern parts under Assam, in 1890.

The British, seeing the wrongs that had been done to the ZO people, resolved to put the ZO devided race together again, in their historic Chin-Lushai (ZO) conference held at Ford William Calcutta on 29th January, 1892.

ZO (Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi) inhabited areas in India, Myanmar & Bangladesh

Though the resolution of Chin-Lushai Conference is still kept pending till today, the aspiration of ZO people towards reunification of her people and the country in which they live in, still remains. All Politiccal Parties born after the British had withdrawn, aim at reunification of her people and the country, rectifying the past errors that had been done to the ZO race. But when all these political parties movement could not bear a fruitful result so far, FIRST WORLD ZO REUNIFICATION CONVENTION held at Champhai on 20th May 1988 resolved to form a  political forum to reunify the ZO RACE pursuant to the resolution of Chin-Lushai Conference, Calcutta, 1892. The Convention is envisaging the reunification of her divided people under one administrative head emancipating to the rebirth of ZO RACE which have been suppressed for over a century under majority control.

Formation of Zo Re-unification Organisation

The first World Zo Convention, 20th May, 1988 decided to form 'ZO REUNIFICATION ORGANISATION'(ZORO) covering all Parties, Organisations, Associations and individuals, within the ZO country and the ZO people belonging to the ZO race. The ZORO has elected body in the Gen. Headquarters headed by Chairman who gives appointments to Coordinators, Secretary Generals/ General Secretaries, Secretaries, Organisers and other Officials, to execute the ZORO programmes.

The first World Zo  Convention also created three political administrative Zones in the ZO Country, those are: Northern Zone, Central Zone and Southern Zone; headed by Zonal Chairman, which Status equivalent to the National Vice Chairman at the General Headquarters, who would give appointment to the Secretaries at the Zones.

The Northern Zone covers Cachar Hills(Assam), Southern Manipur Hills, Northern Chin Hills upto upper Chindwin.

The Central Zone covers: Eastren Hills of Tripura, Mizo Hills (Present Mizoram) Central Chin Hills and Sagaing Divisions, upto Chindwin.

The Southern Zone covers: Chittagong Hill Tracts, Southern Mizoram, Southern Chin Hills, Arakan Yoma (Hills) upto (plain Chin inhabited areas) plain of Irrawady river.

The political administrative Zones are divided into five to seven divisions, which are again sub-divided into constituency and Blocks containing towns and villages. 

The Divisions are headed by Divisional Chairman, and Blocks are headed by Block Chairman, while town and Villages are headed by Leaders.

Thus the ZO Country, which the British called "Chin-Lushai Country" and the inhabitants of ZO Race are intended to be organising. The Work have been completed upto Zonal level Organisation. Divisional level have now been in the processing. Annual Convention at the Anniversary of Chin-Lushai Conference have been used to organised on 29th January , every year and awareness have been increasing. Publication of Journals, magazine and booklets have been continuing.
