Coming to Bangalore
Bangalore-a awm mekte leh awmturte hriat tur
What follows is what those already living in Bangalore, and those about to come (this takes in non-residential members too), need to know and to keep.
Bangalore khawpuia awm mekte leh lo awm turten (Hei hian non-residential member-te pawh a huam ang) kan hriat leh kan zawm atana thil ṭulte chu a hnuaia mi hi a ni:
Ask BMA before you ask an agent.
On study and on work, the Danbu is direct about this: get in touch with people already living here, or with BMA's leaders, rather than coming through an agent. And whatever the work is, have the agreement written down properly. 1.2.1
Zawlbuk 1.2
Before you come
For those about to arrive in Bangalore.
- 1.2.1Do this first
Ask BMA before you ask an agent
Bangalore-a rawn kal hmain Bangalore-a awm mekte, khawtlang hruaitute emaw, mi rintlak takte hnen atangin emaw thurawn lak hmasak tur a ni.

Bangalore-a mizo awmte kan hnathawhna hmunah Agreement (MOU) felfai taka ziah theih ni se.
Before coming to Bangalore, take advice first from those already living here, from the community's leaders, or from people you can genuinely trust. Because there are bad agents where study and work are concerned, enquire with BMA's leaders first. And for Mizo living in Bangalore, may the agreement (MOU) at our place of work be written down properly.

Zawlbuk 1.1
Living here
For those already in the city — on housing, money, neighbours and the association.
- 1.1.1Do this first
Get the agreement in writing
Mi in luah turte chuan a in neitu nen inbe remin rental/lease agreement (M.O.U) ziah fel vek hnuah chauh sum pek tur a ni.
Those about to rent a house should come to terms with the owner and have the rental or lease agreement (M.O.U) written out properly — and only then hand over money.
- 1.1.2Do this first
Know the terms before a hostel or PG
Hostel leh Paying Guest a awm tur chuan a awmna tur ten dan leh inkaihhruaina an siam hriat hmasak a tha a, thil hrechiang hmasa lova awm tur a ni lo. Sum pek ngai zat pawh hriat chian a, ziak fel hnuah pek tur a ni. Local guardian neih ngei ngei bawk tur a ni.
Those going into a hostel or paying guest accommodation had better learn first the rules and management the place has made; you should not move in without knowing things clearly beforehand. Know for certain how much has to be paid, and pay only after it is written out properly. And you must have a local guardian.
- 1.1.3Do this first
Pay on time, and always take the receipt
Mi in luah leh Hostel/P.G- a awm turte chuan sum pek ngaite a hun takah pek ṭhin tur a ni a, sum pek reng rengin receipt lak in vawn that tlat tur a ni.
Those renting a house and those living in a hostel or P.G. are to pay what is due at the proper time — and for any payment whatever, take a receipt and keep it safely.
- 1.1.4
Be a good neighbour
Tawngkam, chetzia, incheina, ei leh in thlengin fimkhur tur a ni a, midangte tana harsatna siam thei turin engmah tih loh tur a ni. Mi ina len leh riah chungchangah pawh midangte harsatna siam loh tur a ni.
Be careful in speech, in bearing, in dress, and even in eating and drinking, and do nothing that could make difficulty for others. In visiting and staying in another's house too, make no difficulty for others.
- 1.1.5
Enrol as a member
Bangalore-a Mizo awmte chuan BMA member nihin awmze pawimawh tak a nei tih hriain, member a inziah luh vek tur a ni. Tin, Mizote inpumkhatna leh inlungrualna tichhe zawngin thil tih loh tur a ni.
Mizo living in Bangalore should know that being a BMA member carries real meaning, and all should enrol as members. And nothing should be done that damages the unity and fellow-feeling of the Mizo.
- 1.1.6
Bangalore belongs to everyone
Bangalore hi hnam tin chi tinte khawsak hona a ni a. Mizote chauh nilovin hnam dangte pawh thianah siam tum tur a ni a, amaherawhchu, Zonunmawi lantir zel tur a ni tih hriatreng tur a ni.
Bangalore is a place where every people and every kind live together. Set out to make friends of other communities too, not of Mizo only — but keep in mind that Zonunmâwi is still to be shown.
- 1.1.7
Respect other faiths
Bangalore-a Mizo inkhawmnate hi ngaih pawimawh a tha a. Hnam dang Kristiante zinga Inkhawm pawh a tha. Sakhaw dang betute sawiselin hmuhsit tur a ni lo.
It is good to hold the Mizo gatherings in Bangalore as mattering. Worship among Christians of other communities is good too. Those who worship otherwise are not to be spoken against or despised.
- 1.1.8
Aim to be the one helping
Midangte tanpui ngai nih aiin midangte tanpuitu nih tum tur a ni a. Engemaw thil avanga mite tanpui i ngaih chuan BMA hruaitute hriattir vat tur a ni.
Set out to be one who helps others rather than one who needs others' help. And if you do need people's help over anything, tell BMA's leaders at once.
- 1.1.9
Follow the law
Sawrkarin mipuite tana dan a siam ngaih pawimawh a, zawm ngei bawk tur a ni. (Traffic Rules, Chhiah Chawi leh a dangte)
The laws government makes for the public are to be held as mattering, and to be kept. (Traffic rules, paying tax, and the rest.)
Mizo is the text. The Mizo on this page is transcribed from the printed Danbu and is what counts. The English beneath it is a working translation written for this website — it has no standing of its own, and where the two disagree, the Mizo wins.
