Source: Chakmas decry ‘racist’ Lalthanhawla
The Aizawl Post had reported that the Chief Minister while speaking at a function organised by Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) to felicitate the HSLC toppers at Vanappa Hall, Aizawl on 27 April 2011 called the Chakmas as “hnawksak” (“nuisance”) in Mizoram, and referred to Brus as “Tuikuk” (literal meaning: “water insects”), and other mainstream non-tribals as “vai chheho”, which literally means “useless or insignificant people”.
In a joint statement, the Chakma organisations stated that such kind of “racist” remarks/references against other communities coming out from the state’s Chief Minister is uncalled for, highly objectionable and has the potential to create further sense of fear, insecurity and alienation in the minds of the minority communities in the state.
“We consider the alleged statement/speech of Chief Minister Lalthanhawla as “racial profiling” against the Chakma community and insult to all the Chakmas. Racial profiling/ racial discrimination is explicitly prohibited under national and international laws”, stated the joint statement signed by representatives of eleven Chakma organisations.
The joint statement added that “Chief Minister Lalthanhawla has alleged racial discrimination against the people of North East region by the mainstream society of India in both national and international forums. He must live by his conviction against racial discrimination and not practice the same racial discrimination against the ethnic minority communities, who are his own people, in his own home state, i.e. Mizoram.”

To whom it may concern: Those who did not want to talk/write in mizo but brought up or settle in mizoram are strange……………………..I think these clarifies everything. It is presumable that they are very far from the mindset of Mizos.
The boundaries that exist in the human mind which builds a dividing walls( racism) are shown below:
a) Physical structure
b) Colours
c) Language
d) Religion
e) culture……………
The above mentioned are the backbone of racism.
O my Brothers we spoke to thee
For your sentiment and your sake
Please do bear with us
Coz this is not my mother tongue.
It is for you to understand……………we aint no racist
