Mizoram State Formation Date 2023: History
Like many other Northeastern Indian tribes, the origins of the Mizos remain a mystery. They are generally accepted as part of the great wave of Mongol migration from China. After being annexed by the British in 1891, for the first few years, the Lushai Hills in the north remained in Assam while the southern half remained in Bengal. Both these parts were merged in 1898 into one district named Lushai Hills District under the direction of the Chief Commissioner of Assam.
