Thil kan define hian, hun a ral in a awmzia te hi a lo dang hret thei a. Mizo tih hi, tribe/hnam/clan tam tak huap, generic term a ni thin a mahse tun hnai ah chuan “Mizo” tih meaning hi…..I do believe that it has evolved to mean those that belong to certain kuki/chin/zo ethnic-group of the tibeto-burman family who who have adopted the Duhlian dialect as their language. It is the outcome of homogenization by English speaking missionaries (who could not translate the Bible into every dialect and languages) as well as the British Government who administered the area. Hence, the term Mizo has functioned as a term of generification earlier, and more recently a term of specificity. The more accepted generic term is “Zo”.
Diversity, especially ethnic diversity, is a wonderful thing. There is no need to yank other clans/tribes/sub-tribes under the umbrella of another if they do not wish to be. As, a matter of fact, relations could be better when one recognizes and appreciates differences.
