The northeast state of Mizoram is home to 40,000 Chin refugees from Myanmar. It’s a natural refuge because of the close ethnic and family ties that bind them to the indigenous Mizo. But it is putting a strain on a poor state with a population of just 12 lakhs. Civil society organisations and the state government provide humanitarian aid. Despite the bonhomie between the host Mizo and the Chin, some issues persist. The post Mizoram’s Chin refugees from Myanmar appeared first on Gateway House.
