`so I am honored... what's his name? Hairam, Hiriam, with honor to Mr. Hiriam who wants to learn especially of the history at this time, so like this/now I became as the village headman
`so before being/doing the Daloi, Chawas Lyngdoh then, so I had become the as the treasurer of Raliang village, so they told me to join in the work and become the village headman
`when he contested with me, then Korbar also stood together with him, for voting, Chawas Lyngdoh was a candidate, at that time that he hadn't become Daloi.'
`before doing the honor of it, around the year 2000 it was, to cause that honor that we give a percent for the Raliang children for these schoolchildren for going ahead (improving).'
`there are many children who go to school throughout the schools in Raliang, so I look truly in this village, these Raliang children, so I think I lose sleep (about it).'
`truly, the ever knowing lord who created me,and because, meaning there is one pending case of the village raliang-mookhap at that time from the year that bnai dkhar was the headman
`at that time also/ there is one conflict with mookhap, at the time even chwas lengdoh also was not the headman yet, there was a conflict and they couldn't solve it at the time.'
`then god give me the strength, so he said to me, mr kordon the lawyer said, look you need to write this ans this, then I said I don't know how to write.'
`then he said, ok yougive the signature and I will write it down, and he wrote, so I appeal the case, the first one against mookhap. After I appeal the case against mookhap.'
`only once it reached the court, I was the only one in the court against them, so I spend before I appealed the case n I spend for the papers and ink. At the time I paid 5500 rupees to mr kordon
`my mind and thoughts have changed from those before me who runs the village, so during my time I want to bring changes in the way they run in the matter of land dispute, in the matter of bringing peace n prosperity in the village.'
`so then I collect all the residents so I said, look you the resident, I have come n meet with honourable n respectable people( meaning lawyer here), so there is a way for us.'
`so I instigate the residents. All the resident truly got excited,since through the local authority and myself at the time,and the secretary under me at the time.'
`so i kept on thinking cause those people in byrwai not because we looked down on them, they are only farmers who came from mynska,mynkrem, from byskor and byrwai.'
` they only came to cultivate in the area,at the same time I thought,truly,the plots of land are distributed and after building the houses it us means that we cannot make use of the woods and the forest for cutting woods etc.'
`so after he summoned him, because I instigate him to go ahead and cut the trees when even people just randomly cut the trees, we will see what happen. So when the dispute caused an uprise, so the daloi since he has to look over all the elaka, so he took the byrwai's side ("khnang" so.that).'
`now also if you ask them whether its true or not, if you believe or not.i think and asked if they die also they don't die in byrwai, if someone passed away also they have to take the bodies to myrskaw or mynkrem if they are from mynkrem.'
`even if they are Christian also they bury their deads over at their own respective place. Their church don't even have their own cemetery.because of that I request you as the father daloi that you shouldn't misunderstand but to go along with my opinion. I preserved this place and this place should belong to the village raliang.'
`ok, so the Christian, now tell me, you have three churches( different denomination), now there are only one two family following that (particular) church, .'
`where is your cemetery? They said they don't have one. So I said, do you hear that father daloi? No burial and no cremation place. Yes they have stayed here, they stayed in our territory(raid raliang),so I announce now, that from today on that you should understand, I speak with heavy words to all your members,like the way that raliang people eat here, it should be the raliang people who should look over for you.'
`anyone who wants to harvest and cultivate, we wont stop them, we understand that everyone needs to make a living, but you should understand that this place belongs to raliang and you have no right to claim it.'
so there were one or two of them who were disrespectful, so I gave a slapping to around 3-4 of them, I slapped this kid Phajoi and this other one Rihun.
`I slapped them because there talked stupidly, so god truly after I slapped them, now they respect and love me because they realized that I speak of the truth, I didn't do anything wrong. I look out for that place but they came to harvest and cultivate in that place.'
