@@sauravdas7087 most people in Mizoram are uneducated and haven't stepped out of the state. Also, the state is the southern most state so not many outsiders pass through nor have a reason to.

Really appreciate your work for talking about one of the least known states of of India. There's a lot of room for improvement when it comes to Mizoram and North East India as a whole.

[@ruatapachuauruatapachuau9116]

Some Indians thought we Mizo fought for Independence because of Famine. But no, this is not true. We fought Independence so that we could have a sovereign state of our own so that all of the sons and daughters of the Zo's who have been separated by different constitutional boundaries can live together freely and happily,where no one will suffer racism again. If we could have got independence during the time when the MNF insurgency, we will be united with the Chin state. But, as Zawlnei Saikhuma have prophesies become true we will not gain independence yet.

You need to understand Mizos had a genuine demand they wanted their own state once given there was peace. Unlike some other states who's main agenda is not their freedom but destruction of India. That's why there was peace in all NE states as well as in Punjab. And now it will happen in Kashmir once all the traitors are weed out and the state is handed over to it's rightful owner.

[@richadixit3758]

Mizoram doesnt have Islamists terrorist. The insurgents there want freedom. U cant compare them But kudos to govt for reducing the insurgency

[@oneplus1987]

I wouldn't even say the insurgents want freedom. Everywhere they are just a bunch of gangs/organized criminals after 10 yrs of their formation, when they start looting people. The northeast people who have insurgency problems can be summarised as- 1. Do they want independence? Not much, because they don't want the Chinese influence to come in (as in myanmar) 2. Do they love India and hate Pakistan? Yes to indifference because Pakistan is not a problem for the region after Bangladesh formed. 3. Is christianity an identity? To some extent.. Yes. But your tribal/ethnicity is more crucial than your religion. That's why the khasis, mizos, nagas are happy in their own states as long as they are the majority and feel a sense of security. Their loyalty is to a secular India, and not some external Pope or Caliphate. But they are very cautious of the Tripura demographic replacement problem.. In that they fear replacement by any other any outsiders i.e other tribes, bangladeshis or even the biharis, bengalis or marwaris in their own little state So in effect, it is important for the rest of India to know the political problems of the region and not interfere too much in the culture/food habits/customs of the NE. Because there is no bad blood between the NE and rest of India for the past 2000 years. They have integrated a lot in the past 20 years and will do so in years to come without much hassle. They are the first people who will defend India against any Chinese invasion or as they did against the Japanese in WW2
