The history of Mizoram encompasses the history of Mizoram which lies in the remotest part of northeast

India. It is a conglomerate history of several ethnic groups of Chin people who migrated from Chin State
of Burma. But information of their patterns of westward migration are based on oral history and
archaeological inferences, hence nothing definite can be said. The recorded history started relatively
recently around the mid-19th century when the adjoining regions were occupied by the British
monarchy. Following religious, political and cultural revolutions in the mid-20th century majority of the
people agglomerated into a super tribe, Mizo. Hence the officially recognised settlement of the Mizos
became Mizoram.

Mizoram (“Land of the Mizos”) was known as the Lushai Hills District of Assam before it was renamed
the Mizo Hills District in 1954.

After the Indian independence from British Empire in 1947, the land became Lushai Hills district under
the Government of Assam. In 1972 the district was declared a union territory and was given a more
culturally inclusive name Mizoram. Ultimately Mizoram became a full-fledged federal state of India in
1986.

The legislative assembly election was held on 28 November 2018 to elect members of the 40
constituencies in Mizoram. Mizo National Front won 26 seats in the election.
