people had natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

28. Q18.
Mautam ( "bamboo death") is a cyclic ecological phenomenon that occurs
every 48 years in the northeastern Indian states of Mizoram and Manipur, as
well as Chin State in Burma. One of its stages involves a rat boom, which in
turn creates a widespread famine in those areas. During
Mautam, Melocanna baccifera, a species of bamboo, flowers at one time
across a wide area. This event is followed invariably by a plague of black
rats in what is called a rat flood. This occurs as the rats multiply in response
to the temporary windfall of seeds and leave the forests to forage on stored
grain when the bamboo seeds are exhausted, which in turn causes
devastating famine. The 1959 Mautam resulted in the recorded deaths of at
least a hundred people, besides heavy loss to human property and crops.
However, even after the increase in the rat population was noted,
preparations by the government to avoid a famine were limited. This
negligence led to the foundation of the Mizo National Famine Front, set up
to provide relief to the far-flung areas. This body later became the Mizo
National Front (MNF) and eventually led a significant change in the history
of Northeast India.
What political change thus resulted by it?

caused by strong gusts. Its sphere, the largest damper sphere in the world,
consists of 41 circular steel plates of varying diameters, each 125 mm thick,
welded together to form a 5.5 m diameter sphere. Two additional tuned
mass dampers, each weighing 6 tonnes, are installed at the tip of the spire
which help prevent damage to the structure due to strong wind loads. On 8
August 2015, strong winds from Typhoon Soudelor swayed the main
damper by 100 centimeters – the largest movement ever recorded by the
