Chairman: "There is one point in the memorandum on which we are not quite clear. Do you wish to join Ministerial Burma as a “district or districts” or do you wish to be ministered by “Federal Government” of all the people of Burma?"

Chin miphun nih hin, Ministerial Burma (Kawl hna sin ah) District pakhat (or) Districts in maw tel nan duh Kawlram in mi vialte ani telnak “Federal Acozah” uknak ah dah nan duh tiah ahal. Hi abia hal mi aruang cu, kan Pu le nih Memorandum an kuat mi ah khan Federal State, Federal Government, Government of Burma, Central Government timi hna fiante in an langhter kho lo caah, hal mi asi.

Pu Pum Za Mang bia hi afiang taktak mi asi. Panglong Agreement ning te in, Federal State si i, Federal Union ah um kan duh tiah achimh duh mi hi leh kho asi. Zei caah tiah, Panglong Agreement ah kha, Shan le Kachin nih secession right an hal lio ah Chin pawl kha an phan rih lo.

The Hon'ble U Tin Tut: "You seem to be under the impression that you will not get any financial assistance from Burma unless you federate under the Panglong agreement. Is that so?"

U Tin Tut hi, Aung San le U Nu thluak asi. Indian Civil Service a awng mi asi i, ca thiam taktak asi pin ah diplomacy athiam ngai mi asi i, Aung San le U Nu nih biapi deuh i, Mirang chawnh awk asi poh ah ani kal pi mi asi.

Zei caah tiah, Chairman pa bia hal mi kha afiang tuk mi asi ko. Burma Proper District pakhat or District tamdeuh in maw um nan duh? Asi lo ah Federal State pakhat in dah ti kha asi. Cu caah, Kawl te hi zumh an har pengnak cu asi.

Chief Pum Za Mang: "Yes, we have that fear. If we could preserve our ancient customs, we should like to join with Burma proper. "

The Hon'ble Sawbwa of Mongpawn: "Are you afraid you might not get financial assistance from Burma if you do not join as a district of Burma? "

Sawbwa of Mongpawn, Sat San Htun hi, mifim le cathiam asi pin ah politic lei ah Aung San hmanh nih a upat i, aa bo chanh taktak mi asi. Pu Pum Za Mang nih Burma Proper ah kan phung le lam kan kil kawi kho ah cun um kan duh ko tiah ati le cang ka in “Burma Proper” ah hin District pakhat in nan um lo ah cun, Phaisa bawmhnak hi Burma in nan hmuh lai lo timi maw nan tih tiah bia ahal mi si dawh asi. Zei caah tiah, Enquiry Commission member pakhat asi i, Chin upa hna nih hin, thil hi faing deuh in theih hna se law, Burma Proper ah District in an um lo zawng ah, Federal Revenue cu kani hrawm ah asi timi kha fiangte in theih hna seh timi duh saknak he bia hal mi alo.

The Hon'ble Sawbwa of Mongpawn: "Is it your view that you want to join a Federation, like the Shans and Kachins, with equal representation in the Federal Government?"

Mongpawn Sawbwa nih hin, Chin Ram hi ahme zawng ah angan zawng ah, a rum zawng ah asi afak zawng ah, Federal system ning te in, Shan, Kachin hna le ikhat te in Federal Acozah kan dirh lai timi kha bia hal pah bu in, an lung thawn nak apek mi asi.

Sama Hsinwa Nawng: "What do you mean by Burma Government? Is it the Government of Ministerial Burma alone or the Government of Federation?"

Sama Kyi (Sama Hsinwa Nawng) hi siang inn sang pi akai lo mi asi nain, aruahnak akau taktak mi pakhat asi i, athin atawi ngai mi pakhat asi ve tiah anti. Mr. Bottom Lay (sp??) nih Panglong Agreement min an thut hlan ah, Shan, Kachin, le Chin upahna kha, “thate in ruat than rih u, nanmah te in independence” angah kho mi nan si” tiah ati lio ah, “Sama Hwinwa Nawng nih aa thawh i, “Kan mah u nau pawl bia kani ruah lio ah, zei bantuk uico bia hmanh theih kaduh lo” tiah ati mi asi. Chin upa hna nih an tial mi Memorandum ah khan Burma Government timi cafang an hmang mi kha Ministerial of Burma acozah maw asi? Shan, Kachin, Chin, Burman tiah dirh hnga ding mi “Federal Government or Government of Federation” dah ahal mi asi.

Chief Thang Tin Lian: "In our memorandum we mean the Federal Government."

Pu Than Tin Lian nih aleh mi hi a fiang ko. Chin State zawng Federal Union of Burma ah Kachin le Shan bantuk in State kansi ve lai i, Federal Government ah hin kani tel ve lai tiah Memorandum ah an tial mi kha “reinforce” atuah than mi asi.

Thakin Nu: "If you want the Chin Hills to become a district or districts of ministerial Burma, they cannot be administered by the Federal Government. Which do you mean? The Burma Government or Federal Government?"

U Nu tho tho hi, ahrawk hrawl hawi. Pu Pum Za Mang le Pu Thang Tin Lian nih Panglong Agreement ning te in Shan le Kachin hna bantuk i Federal State pakhat ah si ve i, Federal Union Government ah kani tel duh ve ko tiah, Sama Duwa Nawng le Mongpawn Sawbwa bia halnak hna an leh hnu ah, Burman Government le Federal Government tiah a nawn nawk hnawh hna. The Burma Government hi Burma Proper Government ati awk asi deuh i, Federal Government le Burma Government hi acawh mi hrim hrim hi, ahrok hrawlnak cu asi.

Chief Thang Tin Lian: "We meant the Federal Government, Sir. If that is not possible we shall have to reconsider the matter."

Pu Thang Tin Lian hi keimah si ning law, ka thin ahung cang lai. Asinain, athing aphang ngai mi alawhnak cu, “Asi kho lo ah cun” kan ruah than aherh ati tik ah, ahmasa i, Pu Pum Za Mang le amah an chimh mi hi azawrh ter than ngai.

Chairman: "The answer you gave me was that you want to be administered by the Government of Ministerial Burma and to become one or more districts in Burma. Now you talked about being governed by a Federal Government. What exactly do you mean?"

Sama Duwa Nawng le Mongpawn Sawbwa Sat San Htun hna nih indirectly in an chimh piak hna hnu ah ni fiang mi hi, ani fiang taktak hawi ti lo. Chairman pa nih hin, Government of Ministerial Burma le Federal Government adang ning an fiang taktak maw tiah afianhter than hna ti kho asi. Cu tik ah, Pu Thang Tin Lian aa palh cang.

Chief Thang Tin Lian: "All our areas – Falam, Haka, Tiddim and Kanpetlet should go into ministerial Burma as a district. We were not quite clear regarding these terms "Federal" and "Burma proper"."

Acung lei i, Federal Government tiah fiang tein ati kon cang nain, Ministerial Burma ah District in Falam, Haka, Tiddim and Kanpetleh hna hi an um lai tiah ati than. Pu Thang Tin Lian hi, Federal le Burma Proper adang ning a fiang ti lo.

Chairman: "Is this central government the government of Ministerial Burma, that is Burma excluding the Hill areas, or is it the government including the Hill areas?"

Chairman nih hi, Central Government an timi hi, Burma Proper Government maw asi, Federal Government (Burma Proper Government le Shan, Chin, Kachin vialte itelnak) Government maw asi timi a fiangh ter than hna. Asinain, Pu Pau Chin nih aleh mi hi apawi taktak mi cu asi. Central Government cu Central Government asi ko tiah aleh. Chairman nih Central Government phun hnih aum mi ah, phun khat kha chimh tuah u ati zawng ah an lung afiang ti lo caah si dawh asi.

Captain Pau Chin: "I mean the Central Government."

U Sein Lien: "We want to control our internal affairs ourselves and for the rest we should like to join with Burma proper."

Pu Sein Lien zawng nih kan mah kan kong kan lam hi, kan mah te in kani lairel khuakhan kho (Self-determination Rights kan ngeih ah cun) Burma Proper ah tel kan duh tiah ati hawi.

Miphun hawihna,

Kan pu le hi an mah le an chan lio ah Ram Uk bawi le Upa an rak si ko nain, Federal Ramkulh dirh awk asi tik ah, Federalism, Federation, Union Government, Burma Proper, Government of Burma Proper, Central Government timi hna hi an theih fiang kho ti lo.

Kan mah le kan mah te in, kan kong lam (kan politic, social, economic, cultural etc.,) hna hi lairel khuakhan khonak kan ngeih ah cun, Burma Proper ah tel kan duh ko anti mi hi atha tuk ko nain, hi bantuk in Chin miphun rights hna kha, systematically in thenh thiam i, amah le asi ning te in, vawlei cung ti luang ning bantuk in khuakhan lairel awk asi tik ah cun, an theih mi le an hmuh mi nih atling ti lo. Mirang hna nih, Frontier Areas Administration tang ah Chin miphun cu an chiah i, Burma Proper tang ah Burman, Mon, Rakhine, le Karen hna hi an uk i, Burma Proper Administration antuah mi zawng hi ani fiang lo.

Nihin ah CNF nih Chin miphun nih acung lei bantuk in an rak duh mi, Federal Ramkulh dir hawk an rak ti bantuk in le, 1948 February 20 ni ah, Falam khua ah lungrual te in an rak pomh cang mi Democracy uknak le, kan Chin miphun i, (Social, Political, Economic, Cultural rights etc.,) vialte kha kan mah le kan mah te in khuakhan lairel kanduh tiah Frontier Areas Commission of Enquiry hmai ah voi tamtu an chimh mi, Self-determination rights hna kan ngeih khonak caah rian atuannak ah hin, lungrual te in itel pi cio ve hna u sih. Kan Miphun rian hi kan miphun nih kan tuan lo ah cun, aho hmanh nih akan tuan piak lai lo.

Upatnak he,
