Gim neihna (Stereotype/ prejudice attitude)

Mikhat peuh tung panin “hih mipa/ minu ka muh cil a kipan in en thei het keng” cih kammal ki za ngei tek kha ding hi. Za ngei bek hilo in, mi pawlkhat bangin mi thak khat a muh tak teh, “hih mipi / mi nu pen a mel puak dan mahmah zong tua ci in teh” cih bangin upmawh thu kigen thei hi. Mihing khat leh khat ki mu ngei nailo, thu leh la kithei ngei nailo, khatvei zong kiho pih ngeilo pen a pianzia ding upmawh thu tawh mi hoih hi, mi hoihlo hi cih genna pen i lungsim tawng pan hong kipan gim neihna lungsim a hihi. Lungsim puak zia kitello, gamtat khohek zia theih ngeihloh leh misia mipha theih ngeiloh hangin a ma mel leh puam, ci leh sa puak zia leh a ma i khang thu (hong kipat khiatna thu) te tawh enkak a mihing pianzia ding genkholhna pen mihingte lungsim gim neihna pan bek hong kipan a hihi. Gim neihna (stereotype) tawh kisai in laibu gelh Mike Cardwell in Dictionary of Psychology cih laibu sungah, gim neihna pen a tomkim khiatna a neih na-ah “gim neihna kici pen mi khatpeuh a hih kei leh minam / pawlkhat peuh tungah a ki bikhiah ( fix) leh a khengval a upmawh thugenna” hi ci’n na gelh hi. Mimal khat, mipawl khat leh mi bawngg khat tungah hih bang a upmawhna neihna pen a hoihna a om bangin a ki-it, kilem a nuntak khopna ding in a hoihlo na zong na om kawikawi veve hi. Gentehna in, a hoihna lam ah khat gen hi leng: A beisa hun in tua bang mite in tua bang gitloh gamtatna na sem ngei a hih manin tutung a zong tua bang mite mah hi dinghi ci’n sansat theih pah i hih manin thuman zonna leh kiven kholhna dingin hoih thei pah hi. A hoihlohna tampi sung panin khat gentehna danin a gen hi leng: mimal khat, minam khat leh khat pianzia kibanglo i hih manin i thupi sakte kibang lo a, gamtat khoheknate tuamtek a hih manin kitheih siamlohna khang sak semsem a, midangte tungah muanmawhna, sansatna i neih pen man mim/den hetlo hi cih pen ki mangngilh kha hi.

Zomite sungah zong mimal nuntakna bek hilo in khotang nuntaknate ah zong hih bangin gim neihna pen nakpi takin a om lam ki theithei hi. I Zogam sungah khua khat leh khua khat kikawmna hamsa in ki mu mengmeng lo i hih manin i lungsim hong kigamla sak hi. I lungsim hong kigam lak ciangin khat leh khat kitel taktakna om theih nawnlo a hih manin, ” tua khuate a hih leh tua ci dan lungsim nei deuh uh cih a hi zongin; tua awkaih zangte a hih leh tua bang in lungsim kawi/ hoih neih zaw deuh uh” cih bangin a pongpi in kigen mawkmawk theihi. Tua bang a i ki sansat mawkmawk pen na man khit dek hetlo a hih manin zong tanglai in i pu leh pate khua khat leh khat ki muangzo/ngamlo uh a, gal leh sa in kinei in na kido zelzel uhhi. Sim leh mal cih peuh lungsim neihna ki nei mawkmawk a, “i unau simlam te bel tua ci lua uh, i u nau mal lamte bel tua ci lua uh cih leh i unau zo lamte bel tua ci pha diak uh cih” tawh mi kigim neih mawkmawk a, thu leh la ki vaihawm/ kigel kha mawkmawk hi. Tua bang a ki gim neihna/ thu sansatna hangin khat leh khat kitel cianna omlo a hihi manin unau sanggam zong kitel khial bek hilo in sanggam melmak bangin sa leh gal in i kinei kha lai zang hi.

Tu dongciang mah i nuntakna sungah gim neihna leh upmawh thu tawh sansatna pen kinei tawntung veve hi. I Zogam leh i Zomite nuntatzia (context) bul phuh in a en hi leng: Biakna na sem khat a hih nak leh mi hoih ding, sup thuak ngam mi, leh pahpih ding cih sandan khat kinei hi. A mimal in i theih kei a, a mimal i a beisa nuntakna i thei kha ngeikei zongin (a lungsim puak zia i theih loh hangin) mi hoih hi hamtang ding cih sandan ki nei a hih manin muanna kinei hi. A maute tungah thu hoih thupha bawl ding pen Pasian nasepna zah bangin kituat hi. Biakna paulam a hih nak leh mi hoih hi ding cih tawh upmawh sansat in i inn sungah sung tum pusuak sak ding zong kiphal pah lel hi.

A hizongin Pasian thu um mahmah veve mi khat pen biakna na sem a hih kei leh tua bangin mi hoih khat hi ding cih upna kinei ngam pahlo hi. A diak in gamvai (politics) sem mite bang pen bang zahta in Pasian thu a um uh zongin mi hoih leh thuman mi hi dingin kituat thei ngiatlo zen hi. Biak inn a pai uh hangin Pasian thu a um taktak diam maw ci peuh tawh muahlohna lungsim tawh kigen thei lai hi. I Zomi sungah a nungta Pasian a um leh Christian biakna sung pan khang khia minam leh gamvai na sem Pu Chin Sian Thang pen a beisa hun in i Zomite makaihna pawlpi biakpiakna ah a kikhop ding a deih phalo om ngei hi ci’n ka za ngei hi. A mah pen biakna nasem hilo a hih manin mihoih ding a kituat theilo hi ding aive maw ka ci hi. Tua mah bangin biakna nasem hilo in, Laisiangtho sang manlo khatpeuh in minam vai hong sem leh mi hoih leh thuman ding kimu theilo/zolo laizang hi. A tattak in cileng tua bang a ki gim neihna/ upmawh sansatna pen mimal a kitheih ding sawmlohna leh mimal sung thu theilo pi a khensat piakna a hih manin kikhial gige thei hi.

Christian biakna sung tektek na ngawn ah zong gim neihna / upmawh sansatna pen bei tuanlo hi. Hih pa/ nu bel tua pawlpi a hih man in tua ci ding hi ci’n kigen khol mawkmawk thei hi. Ko pawlpite bel a tuaci te hi ungin, piangthak ung peuh ci mawkmawk in thu i gen ziauziau thei mawk hi! Mimal thu kitel sawm lo, zia leh zong kitel sawmlo in upmawh thu peuh tawh midangte zia ding kisan sat sak a hih manin kitel siamlohna piang zaw thei hi.

Biakna sung bek hilo in beh khat leh khat kikal ah zong gim neihna ki tam muh thei mahmah hi. A mau bel tua beh te hi uh in, tua ci tentante uh hi, kipha sak uh hi peuh ci in, mi peuh kigen thei hi. Minam vai leh pawlpi vai na ngawn ah beh vai tawh gim neihna tung sak dekdek mawh thei hi hang.

Ki gimneihna, upmawh thu tawh sansatna pen mihingte nuntakna ah a kinu sia siang sitset thei thu hi tuanlo hi. Nutsiat siang sitset zo ding hi leng zong a hoihlohna na om kawikawi kha ding hi. Cih takciangin i nutsiat theihloh manin gim neihna i neih manin thupiang pawlkhat pen manlang takin kinung zun theih pah zawkna mun om a hih man a hihi. A hizongin mimal thu tello pi a gim neihna/ upmawh thu tawh sansatna in midangte hoihna, leh kilemtakna nuntak khop theihna ding lampi tampi hong khak tan hi. Thu man muh khiatna ding lampi bing zaw hi. Biakna sungah leh biak piakna a neih manin mihoih a i san pen khial hetlo na pin, biakna nasem a hilo mi khatpeuh Pasian thu um kei cih tawh i sansat mawk pen kikhial mahmah thei hi. Mi khempeuh in biakna na sep a sep theihloh bangin, biakna nasem lo Pasian thu-um leh mihoih tampi om hi. Gam makai mi tampi tak pen Pasian deihna tawh a nungta tam mahmah a, thuman leh cihtakna lampi a zui mi tampi om veve a hihlam pen mangngilh huai lo hi. ” Laibu pen a kawm bek en a, thukhenna i piak loh ding” kisam pen ding hi.
