The Liberal Democratic Council of Misingland (LDCM) was founded on 16th September 2009 under the visionary leadership of Rohan Patir, its Founder Chairperson, as a collective response to the long-standing demand for a distinct homeland for the Mising people of Assam. Rooted in the principles of constitutional justice, cultural preservation, and self-determination, LDCM seeks to establish Misingland\u2014an autonomous region within the framework of the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This movement is not merely territorial; it is a deeply political and cultural assertion of identity, dignity, and democratic inclusion. The Council envisions Misingland as a defined geographical entity where the Mising people are demographically concentrated and culturally unified. It demands that this region be officially recognized and recorded as \u201cMisingland\u201d in all government documents and administrative records.<\/p>\n
The rising sun, the sickle and the green space within a green circle [signifies the everlasting truthful existence of the Misingland and people] shall constitute the Emblem of the LDCM and it shall be used for any purpose where the insignia of the party is required.<\/p>\n
The Emblem shall signify the Truth, Confidence, Prosperity, Courage and continuity.<\/p>\n
The Mising community, one of Assam\u2019s second largest Plain Tribes, has long faced socio-economic marginalization, political invisibility, and an acute identity crisis. Despite their rich cultural heritage and contributions to Assam\u2019s pluralistic society, the Misings remain underrepresented in governance and development frameworks.<\/p>\n
The formation of LDCM was a direct response to these systemic injustices. It emerged as a unifying platform for various Mising Ke\u2019bangs (community organizations), aiming to consolidate voices and channel collective aspirations into a coherent political movement. Over the years, LDCM has evoved from a grassroots mobilization effort into a structured civil society organization with a clear constitutional agenda.<\/p>\n
LDCM\u2019s vision is anchored in the belief that autonomy, dignity, and inclusive development are essential for the upliftment of the Mising people. Its mission is to:<\/p>\n
Since 2018, LDCM has actively engaged in dialogues with the Home & Political Department of the Government of Assam and the Special Branch (SB) of Assam Police. These discussions marked a significant shift in the Council\u2019s strategy\u2014from armed
\nresistance to peaceful negotiation.\n<\/p>\n
As a result of these engagements, LDCM suspended its armed operations and entered into formal peace talks, signaling its commitment to democratic processes and constitutional solutions. This transition was not merely symbolic\u2014it represented a
\nstrategic realignment of the movement toward long-term institutional legitimacy.<\/p>\n
A historic milestone was achieved on 28th September 2024, when a general meeting was convened in Jonai, Dhemaji, Assam. The event was led by prominent figures including: The President of Mising Bane Kebang (MBK), the Mising Autonomous
\nCouncil (MAC) and other Mising Political Leaders.\n<\/p>\n
During this gathering, LDCM made a ceremonial declaration to renounce its armed ideology and reaffirm its role as a peaceful, nationalist, socio-political civil society organization. The meeting was attended and endorsed by leaders from major Mising organizations such as MBK, MMK, MAK, TMPK, and TMMK, along with dignitaries from MAC and the Jonai Legislative Assembly Constituency.\n<\/p>\n
The Hon\u2019ble Chief Minister of Assam, Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, formally approved the registration of LDCM as a civil society entity, thereby legitimizing its new role within the democratic framework of the state. <\/p>\n
The political diagram of the movement for Misingland envisions a demand under the Sixth Schedule, emphasizing the creation of an Autonomous State. The subject of this demand lies in the question of jurisdiction and authority. The primary objective is the attainment of self-governance for the Mising people. The proposed administration is envisioned as a unicameral system<\/p>\n
The ‘National Council’ is the highest executive authority of the LDCM having the strength of 9 [nine] Executive Members including the President. The portfolios\u2013<\/p>\n
This structure enables LDCM to operate both as a grassroots mobilizer and a policy-oriented civil society actor, bridging the gap between community aspirations and institutional engagement.<\/p>\n
LDCM recognizes that political autonomy must be accompanied by economic empowerment. Its socio-economic agenda includes:\n<\/p>\n
The Council also works in solidarity with other Plain Tribes of Assam, acknowledging shared histories of marginalization and striving for collective upliftment.<\/p>\n
