DESCRIPTION
The term Mizo, meaning highlander, refers to a conglomeration of tribal communities sharing certain cultural specificities.

But subsequently a process of integration and assimilation came into play, and there has now developed among them a common identity the Mizo. An inherent spirit of self-help was natured.
