1859: Foreign Secretary of American Baptist Missionary Union prepared a report on the religious conversion of the hill people.

1929: The AAKJS (All Assam Kachāri Juvak Sanmilloni) submitted a memorandum to the Simon Commission on 4 th January in 1929.

1935: In the Government of India Act 1935, the provision of Excluded Area and Partially- Excluded Area was inserted for the hills areas of Assam. Henceforth the North Cachar Hills was declared as an Excluded Area. The Excluded Area was administered by the Governor himself in his discretion where the ministers had no constitutional right to advise him in connection with its administration and no Act of the Federal or Provincial Legislatures could apply to this area without the prior consent of the Governor. The provision of Excluded Area was continued till the Independence of India in 1947.

1938: Subhas Chandra Bose becomes president of Congress. Knowing the critical situation unfolding in the undivided Assam, Subhas Chandra Bose comes to the state and take stock of the situation. Congress under the leadership of Gopinath Bordoloi comes to the power.

1944: Subhas Chandra Bose with Indian National Army was in a new avatar. On 7th April 1944, Revolutionary Dimasa Army in order to offer solidarity to the Azad Hind Fouz marched to Kohima. Revolutionary Dimasa Army was attacked. In that encounter Joya Thaosen lost her life while Arjun Langthasa was injured.

As the dates were coming near to the independence of India, many jatis in the northeastern part of India were putting up demand. The Dimasa intelligentsia too organised the people and formed a Tribal Council under the leadership of Hamdhanmohan Haflongbar as President and Desondao Hojai as Secretary.

India gains independence. The situation that India found itself could be understood in a public meeting addressed by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in 1948.
