In 1966, a 22-year-old Zoramthanga joined the Mizo National Front and started an armed struggle to secede from the Indian Union.
Over the next two decades, he was on the move: India, East Pakistan, Burma and, after East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971, Rawalpindi.
In 1986, the MNF ended their rebellion with the signing of the Mizoram Peace Accord with Rajiv Gandhi’s government. Today it is seen as one of India’s most successful attempts to end an insurgency. Since the accord, Mizoram has been the most peaceful state in the Northeast.
In a remarkable turn of events, Zoramthanga, who had spent two decades fighting the Indian Union, became a chief minister of a state in the Union in 1998.
On Scroll Adda, he tells us about his remarkable life.
