TEHELKA: Why is Mizoram a distant dot in the national mind space?

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

A ziak tha lutuk…

On 13 May, the website of a leading English daily carried a story with the headline ‘Meghalaya landslide toll rises to 13, more bodies likely to be extricated’. The story quotes the Press Trust of India (PTI) from Aizawl regarding the rescue operation of the massive landslide in Mizoram’s capital Aizawl on 11 May. An old office building of the Public Works Department (PWD), lying vacant after a crack developed on it a year ago, had collapsed under the impact of the landslide and damaged nine houses.

Clearly the English daily had mixed up ‘Mizoram’ with ‘Meghalaya’. This is not the first time that such a goof up has happened. Many a time, the media in mainland India has done the same, maybe with no malicious intent, but out of ignorance. There is a lack of sensitisation about the Northeast- a land mass of 2.9 lakh sq km, where a population of little over 40 million people live and speak 400 different dialects.

Mizoram happens to be the most far-flung in this periphery, so most of the national media does not ‘pick up’ the landslide tragedy as it scarcely helps boost TRPs. But even the regional media who claim to be ‘voice of Northeast’, particularly the dozens of satellite news channels based at Guwahati, did not run the story as headlines. Apart from a few, the regional newspapers failed to report the story or a follow up, clearly suggesting that there is a regional disconnect within the Northeast states as well. When it comes to Mizoram, the most peaceful state in the insurgency torn region, this disconnect travels many a miles.
