Department of History & Ethnography, Mizoram University.

In my transit to the hills, at Delhi, I was very happy to participate in a Ph.D viva of Lalhlimpuii Pachuau from the Department of History & Ethnography, Mizoram University. Her Ph. D  thesis  was on the topic of Teachers, Curricula and the Society: A Social History of Education in Colonial Mizoram, under the supervision of Prof. Lalngurliana Sailo. She has done a good work in this area using a variety of sources. Talking about the Colonial period education in Mizoram  she has discussed  about the mission teachers, Zirtir, the curricula during this period, the experiences of teachers and the taught and what role patriarchy played in women's education. Very happy to have read and evaluated this work. The scholar was  able to confidently defend her thesis. I only hope that this is published for it will be a good addition to the historical knowledge of a region where there is still a dearth of sources.
