Identification & History of Mizos in brief Written by Shalom B.D. Final Year BTC, Pfutsero. We cannot ignore Mizos ethos and history which have been known ever to the Nation around the world, why not, there are the reasons behind it. These are as follows: a) Dropping bomb: In looking around the other nation and country, it is very rare and scarcity like in experience, events & situation in Mizoram. Indian army were brutally fighted and tortured by the Freedom Fighter of Mizos, how it was dramatically terrible and amazing, could not be explained, how our forefathers were brave and love our country in order to get Freedom & Liberation from the Govt of India. For the Mizos, dropping of bomb is one of unforgettable event & memorable. It can be say that it never happens like this situation. b) British Army invaded Mizos people: In our forefather days, the land, village, & area were under the ruling of di Dropping bombording to tribes & clans. These days, British’s governor & ambassador was killed and his daughter, Mary Winchester was captive by the Mizos legends and fighters. Therefore, British army came to invade Mizos in three groups from south, west, east to Mizoram. c) Declaration of Independent: Mizo National Army under the leadership of Pu Ch.Chhunga, Laldenga, Zoramthanga, Lalthanhawla and so on…. were under the support and guidance, some army were trained and refugeed at Pakistan, China, Burma, Middle east, and so on. During the freedom fighting days, there was no group collation and splited among the army. They were just fighting in one morally, physically, and so on for the Mizoram people around the world. a) Unity: MNA (Mizo National Army) had a strong commitment for the freedom of people of Mizos. They were united and supported, cooperated each other among them. No army did not have any separatism feelings and thought from his or her friend but just for fight for the people. b) Between people & army: we should say that MNA were good & kind enough towards the native people. They did not make / created any prople & difficulty for the people of Mizoram. Army were always concerned for freedom and liberation from the army of India, & native people also always helped and supported to the MNA physically, morally, financially, spiritually, etc. they were support each other in fighting of independent. c) Full surrender and fighting for the people: Now by the grace of God, & MNA our forefathers contributions and hardship and giving their lives for the freedom of the people of Mizos, we are proud to say that our land is most peaceful and most Christians inhabited state in India. Composition & literally meaning of the word ‘Mizo’ or Mizoram’: The word ‘Mizo’ is not one sense and uses for one particular place, community, people or situation but it’s used for a common noun. Many people like out of Mizoram denoted & understood that it’s for particular or one sense or community. The term ‘Mizo’ related or apply to those who are part & descendent live in different places ----Manipur, Tripura, Chittagong hills, & chin Hills. The word ‘Mizoram’ can be divided into three senses as ‘Mi’ , ‘Zo’ & ‘Ram’. Mi means people, Zo means good climate/vegetation/hilly/higher area. Ram means Land. Hence, the term Mizoram can be translated as in English “People who are inhabited in the hilly place or land, or people who are living in good vegetation & climate. Officially, Mizoram/Mizo has been used & adopted since 1954, August 1 by the Parliament act. Therefore, the term ‘Mizo’ is used for the common call of the people of Mizoram and its blood descents in outside. Origin of Mizos: Two Traditions----a) Chhinlung, b) Khamphat. Most scholars and historian believed that Mizos belong to Mongalian race, under the Tibeto-Burman Category. To be continued……. Thank to you all
