The irony is that the Mizos have never ever treated any non-Mizo with respect and compassion. Even the peaceful Brus were subjected to murderous attacks and riots and forced to flee to Tripura.

Mizoram also has a unique concept of “non-tribal curfew” – a curfew meant only for non-tribal residents of Aizawl. Mizos are free to go about their business as usual but non-tribals of the city.must remain indoors.
The infamous Kiran Bedi incident tells all that there is to know about Mizo ethnic chauvinism and hooliganism.
