The white flag flies high in the air, fluttering in the envigorating wind under the cloudless sky of spring. The sound of the beatings of the gongs reverberated on the surrounding hills. The crowd, young and old, from all walks of lives, were pouring in in thousands. It is show time at the Assam Rifles parade ground right in the heart of Aizawl. The day is the second friday of March, 2005 on which the most joyful festival of the Mizos - Chapchar Kut - is celebrated every year. Standing in the ground were hundreds of Mizo damsels and energetic young-men dressed in their colourful attires all poised to perform the colourful Cheraw dance, thus heralding the start of the festival for the day.
Chapchar Kut literally means - a festival held during the period when the bamboos and trees that have been cut down are being awaited to dry to be burnt for jhumming.
