Kum 1985 alo thlen meuh chuan kapa, sawrkar in a sawnna Chawngte lam chu ka pan thla ve ta a. Chawngte hi veng pathumah inthenin, veng tin chu luiin a then hrang vek bawk. Keini chu Chakma district lam, Chawngte 'C' ah kan awm ve a. Sawrkar in an khap hma ani bawk a, Chawngte ah hian video hall te pawh kan nei ve thin. Chakma council lam an milar Pu Kushol a nupui, Bidia hming chawiin Bidia video hall kan sa a, a lun phah viau nghe nghe. A hun leh a hmun a awm zel ngai e. Chakma politician ni ta, Nirupam a driver Atil-a chu video operator ah kan ruai a, Amitabh channa a chhuah chuan house full a ni ziah.

Tumkhat chu Chakma tlangval ho kha an lo leng thap a, mahse duhsakna Daba kha keimah min pe hmasa ta ber si, tlangval pakhat chu a thinrim ta a, a kekawr kar a zen rawk rawk a, a englo hmul apawt chhuak teuh a, dawhkanah chuan a chhawp hnur a a chhuak nal nal.

Hetiang vel kan chhut kir hian Vaingalsin mai hi Tribal an lo ni bik love tih min hriat chhuah tir a! Kum sang tel hnu ah pawh an mawlzia en hian, "an tribal viau lo maw," ka ti fo!
