Is BJP ruling Mizoram?
Aizawl, After Nagaland and Meghalaya, the BJP is expanding its political and organisational base in another Christian dominated northeastern state Mizoram, where the saffron party last week for the first time swept the election to the Village Councils (VCs) under the Mara Autonomous District Council (MADC).
Christianity has emerged as the major religion in three northeastern states – Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya, where tribals constitute 86 per cent to 95 per cent of the total population (2011 census). The BJP swept the election to the VCs (equivalent to Gram Panchayats in other states and outside the Autonomous District Council areas) under MADC in Mizoram by winning majority seats in 41 of the 99 VCs while the ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) secured a majority in 25 VCs.
The Congress and the Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) got a majority in eight and two VCs respectively. Independent candidates won one VC while there is no clear majority in 22 VCs. Of the total 492 Village Council seats, the BJP won 232 seats, the MNF managed 127 seats, the Congress bagged seats in the April 18 elections to the Village Councils under MADC.
- For the all round socio-economic development of different tribal communities, Mizoram has three tribal autonomous bodies – Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC), Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) and the Mara Autonomous District Council (MADC).
- BJP MLA Buddha Dhan Chakma is the only saffron party legislator in the 40-member Mizoram Assembly, for which elections would be held in November-December this year.
Chakma won the Tuichawng assembly seat in the 2018 assembly elections and the BJP for the first time entered the state assembly in the Christian and tribal dominated northeastern state. Before the Mizoram assembly, the BJP entered the Nagaland assembly in 2013 by winning one seat in the 60 member assembly.
- In the 2018 assembly polls, the BJP won 12 seats in Nagaland and two seats in Meghalaya and the party secured an equal number of seats in the two Christian dominated northeastern states in the February 27, 2023 assembly polls.
- The saffron party secured 18.81 per cent votes in Nagaland and 9.33 per cent votes in Meghalaya in the February elections against 15.31 per cent and 9.63 per cent votes in the two states respectively in the 2018 polls.
Since the last Assembly elections in 2018, the BJP has been playing the minority card which has seen positive outcomes in elections to the Autonomous District Councils during the past year. Political pundits predict that the BJP is likely to do better in the next Mizoram assembly elections, due in November-December this year.
Media reports in Mizoram said that the BJP’s electoral prospects brightened after the resignation of Mizoram Social Welfare and Tribal Affairs Minister K. Beichhua in December last year. State Chief Minister and ruling Mizo National Front (MNF) president Zoramthanga asked Beichhua to step down from the council of ministers.
Beichhua, who was elected from the Siaha constituency as the MNF nominee for two consecutive terms since 2013, along with a few MLAs from other parties is likely to join the BJP and contest from Siaha assembly seat on a BJP ticket, local media reports said.
Considering its recent local body poll success, the BJP is highly optimistic about its growth in the future elections in the bordering state. Mizoram BJP president Vanlalhmuaka said: “The assembly elections in the state are more than six months away. Our state leaders and workers are working hard to further strengthen our party and we are confident of doing much better in the next assembly polls.” He said that the BJP would field candidates for all the 40 assembly seats.
“Considering the party’s performance in other northeastern states, people of Mizoram have trust in the BJP as they predict that no other party including the MNF would be able to form the next government in the state after the elections,” Vanlalhmuaka said.
The BJP leaders are busy in mobilising support in the non-Mizo and minority dominated areas in Mamit, Siaha, Lunglei and Lawngtlai districts, where a considerable number of Reang, Chakma and Hmar tribals are residing. In May last year, the BJP emerged as the single largest party in the 25-member Mara Autonomous District Council polls in south Mizoram’s Siaha district.
It has won 12 seats, one seat short of getting an absolute majority. While addressing a party meeting recently, Zoramthanga said his party is also confident of raising its seats to 30 in the next assembly election. Political commentators said that the majority of the Mizo people would not support the BJP as they consider that the party is anti-Christian due to its strong Hindutva ideology and agenda.
- They said that the BJP is most unlikely to raise its tally much unless it ties up with the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) ally MNF.
- The BJP had contested 39 seats and secured 8.09 per cent votes against the ruling MNF’s 37.70 per cent in the 2018 Assembly polls.
- The Congress, which ruled Mizoram for decades, secured four seats and 29.98 per cent votes in the last assembly polls in 2018.
The Congress lost its last bastion Mizoram in the northeastern region to the MNF, which returned to power in the mountainous state in the 2018 Assembly elections by winning 27 seats. Of the eight states in the northeastern region, the BJP is ruling four – Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Tripura.

When Meghalaya was declared a state?
Meghalaya Legislative Assembly Meghalaya Legislative Assembly Meghalaya, then consisting of the Garo Hills sub-division along with the Khasi States enjoyed semi-independent status by virtue of a treaty relationship with the British Crown. With the partition of Bengal in 1905, Meghalaya became a part of the new province of Assam and Eastern Bengal.
- In 1912, when the partition of Bengal was reversed, Meghalaya became a part of the revived province of Assam.
- On 3 January, 1921 following the Montague-Chelmsford Report of 1917 and the Government of India Act of 1919 the Governor-General-in-Council declared the areas now in Meghalaya, excluding the Khasi States, as backward tracts under the Act.
In the wake of the Government of India Act, 1935, the areas now in Meghalaya, excluding the Khasi States, became partially excluded areas. However, these areas were represented in the Assam Legislative Council since 1920 and later also in the pre-Independence Assam Legislative Assembly.
On 2 April 1970 an Autonomous State of Meghalaya was created within the State of Assam by the Assam Reorganisation (Meghalaya) Act, 1969. In accordance with the Sixth schedule to the Constitution, a Legislature of the Autonomous State consisting of 37 members who were elected indirectly by the Autonomous District Councils was set up.
The first sitting of the Assembly took place in Tura on 14 April, 1970. In 1971, the Parliament passed the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganization) Act, 1971 which conferred full statehood on the Autonomous State of Meghalaya. It attained statehood on 21 January 1972, with a Legislative Assembly.
Which religion is dominant in Meghalaya?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Evangelization of Meghalaya began in the 19th century under the British era. In the 1830s, American Baptist Foreign Missionary Society had become active in Northeast to evangelize indigenous tribes to Christianity.
- Later, they were offered to expand and reach into Sohra Meghalaya, but they lacked the resources to do so and declined.
- Welsh Presbyterian Mission took the offer and they began work at Sohra mission field.
- By the early 1900s, other Protestant denominations of Christianity were active in Meghalaya.
- The outbreak of World Wars forced the preachers to return home to Europe and America.
It is during this period that Catholicism took root in Meghalaya and neighbouring region. Currently, Catholics, Presbyterians and Baptists are three most common Christian denominations found in Meghalaya. Before Christianity arrived in Meghalaya a majority of tribal peoples were following Animist religion with Ka Niam Khasi and Songsarek traditions.
- Meghalaya is a Christian tribal state.
- The Christian population in Meghalaya is estimated at approximately 2.21 million which forms (74.59%) of the state population (2011 census).
- Meghalaya is one of three states in India to have a Christian majority.
- About 75% of the population practices Christianity, with Presbyterians, Baptists and Catholics the more common denominations.
The religion of the people in Meghalaya is closely related to their ethnicity. Close to 90% of the Garo tribe and nearly 80% of the Khasi are Christian, while more than 97% of the Hajong, 98.53% of the Koch, and 94.60% of the Rabha tribes are Hindu. The Roman Catholic Church with a homogeneous presence spread throughout the state of Meghalaya form the largest denomination in the state with 945,145 adherents (2020 data).
The Church is under the ecclesiastical province of Shillong with the following dioceses: 1) Metropolitan Archdiocese of Shillong (342,169 adherents), 2) Suffragan Diocese of Tura (326,716 adherents), 3) Suffragan Diocese of Nongstoin (164,334 adherents), and 4) Suffragan Diocese of Jowai (111,930 adherents).

In 2018 the Church has the following number of believers under the following synod’s namely Khasi Jaintia Synod Mihngi (294,320 believers), the Khasi Jaintia Synod Sepngi (370,764 believers) and the Ri Bhoi Synod (70,510 believers) adding up to 735,594 believers with slight decline from 2015.
Unlike the Catholic Church, there is little or no presence of Presbyterianism among the Garos with the absence of a Garo synod.

What is Meghalaya literacy rank in India?
Nidhi Sharma & Ramana Heggadal Math ” We are often misled by the literacy rate, which is only a partial measure of the real educational level of a population. ” ~ Amartya Sen Literacy is the foundation of education. The essence of this is captured by the census of India in the ability to read and write with understanding.
- Meghalaya emerges as an exemplar of this.
- The state has among the highest literacy rates in India, 74.4% against the national average of 72.99%.
- The ambit of education, however, transcends definitions of literacy.
- While literacy accords the opportunity to tap into the socio-economic potential, education, in its true spirit, translates readily into higher earnings, better health and greater personal well-being.
Education is also a powerful tool for building inclusive and peaceful societies. It arms individuals with knowledge and skills that drive sustainable development. While at face value Meghalaya emerges as a role model, boasting of a near-3/4th literate population, upon closer inspection, the State appears to be flailing in select correlates of education.
According to NITI Aayog’s National Multidimensional Poverty Index Report based on NFHS-4 (2015-16), 32.67% in Meghalaya are multidimensionally poor in health, education and standard of living. This is the fifth highest such figure in India among states. Deprivations in education, prominently years of schooling, are at the heart of this diagnosis.
The state additionally records the lowest years of schooling, second only to Bihar. It also languishes as an ‘aspirant’ in ‘quality education’ as per the SDG India Index 2020-21. Currently, the state stares at two immediate challenges in the realm of education — high dropouts and poor learning outcomes.
As of 2021-22, Meghalaya’s dropout rates at the secondary school level were to the tune of 21.68% against India’s 12.61%. In the latest National Achievement Survey 2021 that enumerates learning outcomes, Meghalaya fares lower than the national average in all but one subject- English. These figures typify a paradox of high literacy rates and poor educational attainments in the state.
A window into this paradox is provided by way of public surveys such as the National Sample Survey (NSS) and National Family Health Survey (NFHS). During the course of our work at Public Affairs Centre, we analysed such surveys and found that they allude to many self-reported reasons for poor school enrolment and attendance, ranging anywhere between financial constraints, marriage and engagement in economic or domestic activities.
What was of particular note was the role of ‘interest’ in decisions to attend school. NSS 75 th Round (2017-18) uncovers a general lack of interest in education among those who dropped out or never enrolled in schools. NFHS-5 (2019-21) corroborates this. If these surveys are any indications of policy praxis in the state, then the government must marshal efforts to address this disinterest and tackle it alongside other reported constraints such as those pertaining to the financial affordability of education.
A pedagogical renaissance is warranted in this light. Policy interventions at this stage can utilise practices in other states. Karnataka’s rural libraries under the ‘Oduva Belaku’ programme have revived the culture of reading and are crowd-pullers among children and adults alike.
These libraries sport engaging interiors, armchairs and furniture and are well-stocked with crowdsourced books. Shrawasti, an aspirational district in Uttar Pradesh, has transformed schools within their perimeter, refurbishing them such that they double as learning aids. Walls painted with enlightening stories decorate school corridors, making for fun learning environments.
Such solutions are bound to fillip interest in learning. The learning crisis that the state finds itself in the middle of calls for special attention. NGO Pratham’s Teaching at the Right Level is a unique, evidence-based solution that divides students into cohorts based on learning levels as opposed to age or grade.
- This involves regrouping based on learning outcomes as established through tests, ultimately providing needs-informed teaching.
- Initiatives such as these have proven effective in improving learning outcomes and bear the potential to positively invigorate Meghalaya’s educational circumstances.
- The state has already proven a trailblazer in creative policy-making, putting citizen experience at the centre stage.
The Meghalaya Public Private Partnership Policy 2021 is a definitive step in the right direction. The policy presents a unique opportunity, identifying education as an eligible sector for outsourcing certain services to the market. While as of 2021-22, only 15.86% of schools in the state attest to having computers, the policy’s mandate can help give impetus to digital education as an engaging medium of instruction.
- Meghalaya can draw inspiration from partnerships like those mobilised in Kerala’s IT@School programme,
- The programme, which has now metamorphosed into a Special Purpose Vehicle named Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education, outsourced computer hardware and software provisioning as well as in-house capacity-building of teachers to the private sector.
This has effectively augmented teacher engagement, prompted greater availability of computers per learner and mainstreamed digital learning with regular classroom modules. Participation from private vendors, public-spirited citizens and non-governmental organisations can act as a palliative in the ailing education sector.
- These stakeholders are rooted in ground realities and are acquainted with the pulse of local problems.
- Through coordinated efforts between the government and civil society, large strides can be made in human development service delivery.
- At the same time, such initiatives have the potential to improve the state’s ranks in indices such as the Performance Grading Index in the spirit of competitive federalism.
Meghalaya, like other hilly states, faces the challenge of terrain. Delivery of public services in such settings is a daunting task. The state has succeeded in ensuring commendable literacy levels; however, literacy is a subset of education, opening the State up to myriad possibilities.
Now that there is a global thrust on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), states across India stare at the mammoth responsibility of meeting them. Realisation of and improvement along SDG-4 performance parameters, therefore, will double as a barometer for the assessment of ‘quality education’.
For a long time, Meghalaya’s picturesque panoramas and refreshingly unpredictable weather — vacillating at once between pearl-grey and brilliant blue skies — have invited the creative inspiration of luminaries spanning the lengths and breadths of India.
For scholars such as Rabindranath Tagore, the state offered a respite from the oppressive weather of the tropics. It is only natural that the state now doubles as a locus of action. Premiere institutions spanning the likes of the Indian Institute of Management, National Institute of Fashion Technology and National Eastern Hill University stationed in Shillong embellish the learning environment of the State.
With well-designed policies, the state has the potential to emerge as the National Education Policy 2020’s ideal ‘vibrant, knowledge society’ that cuts across national boundaries. (Sharma is senior programme officer at PAC. Math is associate data scientist at PAC.
