context_page_description: The Mizo people are Zo people native to north-eastern India, this term covers several ethnic peoples who speak various Kuki-Chin languages. The Mizos are indigenous people in the Indian state of Mizoram and its neighboring areas. All Mizo tribes and clans, in their folk legends, claim that Chhinlung/Sinlung/Khul, which means 'enclosed with a rock' in the Mizo language was the cradle of the Mizos.
  The present Indian state of Mizoram was called the Lushai Hills or Lushai District and was defined as an excluded area during the British Raj and a district of Assam in independent India.
  The Mizos were particularly dissatisfied with the government's inadequate response to the 1959–60 mautam famine. The Mizo National Famine Front, a body formed for famine relief in 1959, later developed into a new political organisation, the Mizo National Front in 1961. A period of protests and armed insurgency followed in the 1960s, with the MNF seeking independence from India. In 1971, the government agreed to convert the Mizo Hills into a Union Territory, which came into being as Mizoram in 1972.
