In Mizo, ‘land’ or ‘ram’ was a spatial term symbolising identity, culture, traditions and spiritual values. Maintaining a balance in the relationship between man, his village and the spiritual realm was required to maintain their community. The Mizo starting from their primitive stages earned their living by performing agriculture. Society and ethnicity are dependent upon agriculture and are knitted to it. Agriculture has been the backbone of human civilisation, shaping societies, economies and political structures throughout history. As being the primary source of food, it plays a pivotal role in sustaining populations, and its influence extends far beyond simple survival. The arrival of the British in the Lushai Hills brings various changes. Different methods and tactics were applied to consolidate their power, where agriculture was the main target. The development in agriculture not only affected the food staples and cultivation of crops but also made a broader impact in the formation and development of the society. The introduction of new crops and agricultural system became an important factor to showcase their supremacy. This paper will focus on the changes seen in the agricultural sector and the impact caused due to this.
