Rich history of Mizoram
The Bombing of Aizwal in 1966,by the Indian Armed forces opened the eyes of Indians,who were virtually ignorant of Mizoram & its History.The Air Force bombed its own people,the Army fought & killed its own people. The Mizo people & the famed Mizo resilience carried them through. It made them ignore the Past,bitter memories Injustices & vie for peace(1986) This part of India was in turmoil for almost 20 years,& we did not now anything about it.The Mizo uprising was totally suppressed with brutal force. The Mizo uprising, The Assam assembly debates on the Mizo movement,1966-1971by JV Hluma and Rini Tochhawng,gives a defining account of the contemporary History of the Mizoram.& their struggle.
The nearest Railway head is Silchar of Cachar district of Assam & the nearest airport is Khumbhigram. Aizwal is very close to Myanmar border & the border is extremely porus & one can easily go to Champai on the other side of Border.Lot of imported(genuine) goods are sold very cheap there. Many of our Indian soldiers visit this place to buy cheap goods. It is a permissive society & succession is metrilinear. Many of our Airmen, particularly from Kerala(Christians) get married to their (Newly converted christian girls) Girls,live with them ,have children & leave behind,when they are posted out. Lot of christian missionary work,has helped the Mizos,& Money is pumped into their pockets.in abundance. It is very normal to see roadside workers(Labourers),wearing,branded Levy Costly Jeans Trousers & wearing costly BATA shoes. I was told that the Bata Shoe shop in Aijwal has the largest Sale in India. Most of the soldiers who fought for Mizo groups are ex-Indian Army Soldiers of Mizo origin
