Joint Statement of Chin Communities and Organizations Across the Globe
*Issued on the 60th. Anniversary of Chin National Day*
*20th. February 2008*
Today, the 20th. of February 2008, marks the 60th. Anniversary of the auspicious Chin National Day. We, the Chin communities and organizations worldwide, jointly issue this statement.
Chin National Day is a felicitous occasion on which we commemorate consistently an important milestone in our history and reaffirm its undisputable facts; its an occasion on which we reflect our collective
concept and strengthen our common destination of the present and future Chin generations.
Since time immemorial the Chin have been an independent people having their own territory, self-government, distinct literature, language and culture. The British imperialists occupied the lower Burma part by part and
eventually abolished the Burmese Kingdom Yadanabon in 1885. The Bristish intrusion into Chin territory began in 1890 and the whole Chin Hills fell under the British in 1895. Thus, the British occupied the territories of the
Burmans and those of the other nationalities in different stages and ruled them under the British colonial administration.
