520 _aAgriculture in the form of Jhum cultivation is the centre-stage around which the traditional Mizo society revolves. Traditional values and customs were conceived in the course of their common endeavour for survival through agriculture. In the pre-colonial days, the village chief and his council of 'elders' were instrumental in discharging a brief form of administration in the field of agriculture while a vibrant coordinating system was in place on the lines of the traditional values. The late 19th century saw the formal establishment of British administration in the Lushai Hills. Agricultural administration and its coordination were performed by the British Superintendent who functioned with the assistance of his 'agriculture demonstrators' and the village chiefs. However, the common feature of administration in both the pre-colonial and colonial days was that administration was carried out by a single structure depicting the characteristic of 'fused society' as conceptualised by Riggs. - Reproduced.
