My sweet memories of Mizos

Thursday, August 16th, 2012

S. Gurumanickam – Assistant Engineer at the DD Kendra, Chennai-a mi chuan The Hindu (August 12, 2012) khan he thu hi a rawn ziak a, a ngaihnawmin ngaihdan pawh min siam ve khawp mai. Full article chu a link-ah khian a chhiar theih e.

“I found the Mizos practise honesty and trust effortlessly. Why don’t we give it a try?”

There is a lot of misconception about the North-East in many parts of India. That people there are “culture-less tribals, head-hunters, that they eat wild animals,” etc. In short, there is a definite, palpable and unmistakably condescending attitude towards the people of North-East in the mainland. The general apathy and animosity sometimes manifests as hostility we see elsewhere.

Initially, when I was called a mainland Indian I was irked. Why should I be singled out? Are they not Indians? Soon, I realised there’s a Himalayan difference between ‘them’ and ‘us’. I experienced this the day I set my foot on Mizoram. And when you ask for the luggage they will never ask for your identity or to prove yourself. They simply trust you and hand over things. Phew! They implicitly trust others!
