“[Some Mizo residents] take advantage of our position and demand money threatening that if we don’t pay up they’ll inform the police or the YMA. There are some Mizos who simply just hate the sight of us and challenge us or threaten to beat us up. Life is hell for us. We cannot protect ourselves as this will cause further furor. We have to just make ourselves seem small and avoid these dangers. To be Burmese is to face discrimination.”
- Chin woman living in Mizoram, India.
“The way [the Mizos] think is that killing a Chin person is like killing a dog. It is not that serious.”
“In a recent case, the Mizo man accused of killing a man from Burma was released after paying the Mizoram police 500 Rupees (US$12).”

CRCL began registering its members, documenting the reasons they left Burma, and issuing its own refugee identification cards to its members. According to one refugee leader, the cards indicate that “we members of CRCL are all Chins who claim to be refugees with no chance of going back to Burma under this army regime.”[268] Although the cards carry no authoritative weight, for many it is their only form of identification and it is sometimes effective in fending off the YMA and Mizoram authorities.[269]

Vaipa defines Vai:
=======
In Mizoram, the term ‘Vai’ is used to denote people from mainland India, who have Aryan features. It evokes mixed feelings of contempt, distrust, mockery and envy. For the Mizos, the term Vai as an out-group has three broad meanings. In one sense, all non-Mizos including the British with reference to the ‘Raj’ were deemed as Vai. In the second sense, all the people living in the plains of India are Vai. In the third sense, the word associates the Burmese living in the plains to be Vai but in contrast to the Indian, the notion is more positive and traditional 1.

“In February 2007 when the Mara Thyutlia Py (MTP or Mara Youth Party) issued similar orders against the Chin community living in a certain section of Saiha, local police along with the MTP rounded up and threatened the Chin with forced return to Burma. One Chin man living in Saiha recounted what happened:
the MTP went in small groups to each house to ensure everyone had left. They carried sticks with them. Most of the people had left already. We also tried to sell our possessions and received only a small amount of money. At this time, the MTP sent 17 families back to Burma. The police arrested people who wouldn’t leave and brought them to Lawngtlai jail

To critically analyze the report, we must remember that this report is prepared to serve the purpose of Chin refugees. The more they narrate stories of their exploitation and suffering in such a way, the stronger they attract the sympathy for their resettlement to a third country, which normally would be an economically better place like North America, Europe, Australia, etc. There are many stories which are not simply true. To highlight a few:
“The way [the Mizos] think is that killing a Chin person is like killing a dog. It is not that serious.”
This is not true. The people of Mizoram do not kill the Chins like dogs. The narrator should have a better reasonable and fictional rehearshal for his/her blanket condemnation of the whole Mizoram people.
“I had already gone to see the house and it cost 200 Rupees (US$4.50). But when the landlord asked for a village council’s certificate and we did not have it, he immediately raised the rent to 600 Rupees (US$14). We are poor and being made poorer because of this kind of discrimination.”[271]
What on earth can one find such a house to rent for Rs 200 per month in the present Mizoram - Aizawl, Lunglei, etc? Is he talking things about “those good old days”?
In terms of living condition, the Chins must understand that Mizoram is an underdeveloped state, in other words, it is a very, very poor state. Let alone sharing our resources with “outsiders”, we even do not have enough money to feed or educate our own people well. So the Chins must be rather thankful that we are sharing with them in spite of our poverty and meagre incomes.
The simple fact is, we the people of Mizoram welcome and accept Chins. That is why nearly a hundred thousand Chins are living in Mizoram now, in spite of many crimes committed by some of their member. By narrating their stories in such manner, they have completely erased away all the good things we have done to them. We the Mizoram people who hosted our Chin brothers and sisters through thin and thick deserve at least a small mention of appreciation from them. Such words are missing in the report. I am saddened by the report because most of them are not simply true and many of them are overexargerations.

I feel you, Maramizodiktak. I completely agree with what you said, especially your last para.
But I must also remind you all about the way these people have played around with semantics, and a pretty good one too.
For example, try arguing with the statement they made regarding the “killed like dogs part”. If you accuse the HRW on charges of defamation, they will simply say it was just a quotation from one of the people and they had never implied that is how every Chin people is treated by the Mizos. But even though they never said that directly, that is what the article implied. And that is what will stick in the World’s head, especially after watching the latest Rambo flick.
And another funny thing… I’ve downloaded the pdf file “We are like forgotten people” a long time ago and even forwarded it to my friends as it deeply touched me. Nothing is mentioned there about the mistreatment of Chin people in the hands of Mizos like how the website is now promoting.
This is truly disturbing and disappointing… my heart goes out to the Chin people, but this is definitely not the right way of pushing their cause… are they expecting the world to take notice and swoop down to their aid since the Mizos themselves are not “treating” them nicely after all that they faced in Burma? Seriously guys. This is WRONG. By doing this, you have alienated the Mizos further away from you. My father and other relatives I know who employ and trust many people from Burma are NO WAY going to take this in the face. Damage done.

“[Some Mizo residents] take advantage of our position and demand money threatening that if we don’t pay up they’ll inform the police or the YMA. There are some Mizos who simply just hate the sight of us and challenge us or threaten to beat us up. Life is hell for us. We cannot protect ourselves as this will cause further furor. We have to just make ourselves seem small and avoid these dangers. To be Burmese is to face discrimination.”

Le, agreeing to comment 35 -37, I had a long thought about the issue today - ka ngaihdan thil tam tak chu in hria, but I think that report is biased and should be challenged. I do not think that it is right for any person (forget being Mizo or not) to accept this report. I am very aware of many things that happens in Mizoram, but it is not fair to publish a report without interviewing both sides…
