Mizoram People ,culture ,art and popular music

Mizoram means the land of highlanders. The word mizo means ZO people who are closely related tribes scattered all over NE and Burma
The so called Mizo language is actually the popular dialect of lushai sub tribe.
Other zo sub-tribes are paite , hmar, kom,mara,gangte etc (i don't know others, as my mizo friend refused to answer any further)
Almost 99% of mizo people are christians.They are communal and have strong community bond.They live by the priciples of "Tlawmngaihna", an untranslatable term meaning that
it is the obligation of all members of society to be hospitable, kind, unselfish, and helpful to others.Tlawmngaihna to a Mizo stands for that compelling moral force which finds expression in self-sacrifice for the service of others.
Mizos often gather together to help in disaster management like landslides or famine
Probably why their is not a single beggar in whole of Mizoram and has very low crime rate, though it is very poor state. One of most peaceful region in the country where
every one take care of each other.

Apart from christmas chapchar-kut is the main festival
Mizo people at chapar-kut celebration in aizawl

Cheraw dance and the dresses worn by ladies are called Kawrchei & Puanchei

The neckpiece worn here (the red bulky one) is called "Thi hna"

@zootinali I was about to say the same w.r.t to your pics! The traditional Mizo attire looks awesome. In fact, most of the Northeastern tribes have such colourful and exotic attire. Are you from Aizawl too? The Mizo highlands infact reminded me of the highlands of Western Ghats. Such places are always special.

The climate is bit same I think , because of unique geography of both places,,high rainfall and highlands makes them look alike..
