Mizoram Statehood Day 2023: History
Like many other tribes of northeast India, the origin of the Mizos is a mystery. They are generally accepted as part of a large Mongoloid migration wave from China. After being annexed by the British in 1891, for the first few years, the Lushai Hills in the north remained under Assam, while the southern half remained under Bengal. Both parts were merged in 1898 into one district called Lushai Hills District under the Chief Commissioner of Assam.
