General Information

 

 

The history of Mizoram starts from 18th and 19th century and the chieftains were very powerful at that time. In 1952, the Lushai Hills Autonomous District Council was formed to abolish the chieftainship. The recommendations of the State Reorganization Commission in 1954 did not satisfy the tribal leaders and so the Eastern India Tribal Union was formed in 1955. Another political party Mizo National Front was formed on 22nd October 1961 and the demand for new statehood of Mizoram grew stronger in 1971. The state of Mizoram was formally created on 20th February 1987.
