Abstract
This study located in the extreme most corner of Northeast India region known by Chin-Lushai Tract or Hills. The territory was bounded all around by the established valley states. It had a pre-existing boundary in which the altitudes of the hilly mountainous terrain formed the boundary with the adjoining plain territories. But, the coming of colonial state in the region had shattered those existing hills-plain boundary enterprises. Those colonial boundary politics was contested by the people as impolitic and undermining act of the existing boundary and often manifested their grievances in the form of reids and atrocities. This paper revealed the imperatives politics which overwhelmed the colonial state to displace the vernacular boundary by the material and textual manifestation of institutionalized boundary. In the same time it tends to show that how the colonial state legitimizes their politics and justified their arguments on the boundary making practices from 1870 to 1875 and argued that the colonial state justified pleas ultimately were the broad spectrum policies which serve the ulterior.
