Ha ka jingshisha, kawei ka kot kaba la pynmih mynshwa, Papers Relating to the Disturbances in the Cossyah and Jynteeah-Hills, kaba la pynmih ha u snem 1864, ka ai ïa ngi ka jingshai halor kumno kane ka rukom synshar ka lah ban sdang bad kaei kaba la thmu ban leh lyng-ba jong ka.

Namarkata, lah ban kynthoh ba watla ka kyrdan Rangbah Shnong kam shym la pyndonkam kum ka kyrteng ba thikna ha ki por mynshwa, hynrei ka kyrdan hi ka la don, tangba la khot ne tip hapoh kiwei pat ki kyrteng, bad kumta lah ban ñiew ïa ka kum ka kyrdan kaba ïadei bad ka riti dustur tynrai. Hynrei, hangne ka don ka jingeh bad ka jingbym shai halor kane ka jingkynthoh.
Ka kyrdan Doloi, watla la jied ïa u, hynrei ka dei ka kyrdan kaba hiar pateng, ha kaba tang katto katne ki lah ban ïalam ïa kane ka kam, namar tang ki katto katne ki kur ki lah ban ïakhun ne ïoh ïa ka kyrdan ha ka synshar khadar.

Hynrei, ha katto katne ki jaka bad ki shnong, don ki kyndon kiba khang ha kaba ïadei bad kane. Ha ki katto katne ki shnong, tang kiba la kha ha kata ka shnong ki lah ban long Rangbah Shnong. Kumta, bunsien ka ju jia ba u Rangbah Shnong un shong-kurim bad leit sah ha kawei pat ka shnong, hynrei u dang bteng ban bat ïa ka kyrdan kum u Rangbah Shnong. Kane ka lah ban pynmih ïa ki jingeh na ka bynta kiwei pat ki nongshong shnong. Ha katto katne ki shnong kiba don ha sor, kum ha Nongkseh bad Umpling, tang ki katto katne ki kur ki lah ban bat ïa ka kyrdan Rangbah Shnong. Kane ka long ka dak kaba dang sah na ka rukom mynshwa, ha kaba ki kyrdan Lyngdoh, Doloi bad kiwei ki kyrdan synshar la ju jied tang na ki kur kiba la buh kyrpang. Ki kynthei kim shah ban ïashim bynta ha ka Dorbar Shnong, watla ha ka Dorbar Kur, Dorbar Raid bad Dorbar Hima ki kynthei ki la ju don bynta, ha kaba ka rai kaba khatduh ka donkam ïa ka jingmynjur jong ka Syiem-Sad ryngkat bad ki Myntri. Ha ka jingshisha, ki Raid bad Hima ki la ju don ki kynthei kum ki nongïalam ha ki por mynshwa. Nalor kata, ki kynhun bym dei Khasi, kum ki Karbi bad Tiwa, ki la ju bat ruh ïa ki kyrdan Lyngdoh bad Doloi ha ki thaiñ jong ki kiba don hapoh ka jingsynshar jong ka Hima Khasi; kum ka Raid Nongkharai Mikir-Karbi hapoh Hima Mylliem bad ka Elaka Lalung (kawei pat ka kyrteng jong ki Tiwa) Nanglung/ Nanglong ha Block I kaba dang ïakajia, kaba ha ki por mynshwa ka la don hapoh ka Hima Jaiñtiapur. Khatduh eh, ka jingeh kaba khraw tam jong ka kyrdan Rangbah Shnong ka long ka jingbat ïa ka kyrdan ne ka jingsynshar khlem pud.
