Kût threnkhat chu sakhua nena inkungkaih an nih avangin a serhin kan serh a. Judaho kût zawng zawng deuthawh leh India rama kût pawimawh, sorkarin chawlh a puan hial tam zawk hi sakhaw thil nena inzawm a ni. Zofaten Kristian sakhua kan vawn hnua kan ni serh te hi kût hming puttir loh mah ila kût ziarang pu vek a ni a, kan saphunna sakhua nena inzawm deuh vek a ni bawk.

Zofaten kût kan hmante hi kan khawsakna leh eizawnna nena inzawm a ni tlangpui. ‘Hmanlai Mizo Nun’ (1999) tih ziaktu C.Lianthanga chuan, “Mizote hian kût chi thum kan nei a, chungte chu Chapchar kût, Mim kût leh Pawl kût te a ni a, heng zingah hian Chapchar kût hi kût ropui ber a ni” (p. 109) tiin a ziak a. James Dokhuma pawhin chutiang chiah chuan a ziak ve a (Hmanlai Mizo Kalphung, 1992 p.76) Mi dang pawh chutianga sawi chu an tam mai. Mahse, hei hi Revisionist-ho mit pua thlir nawn leh bih chian a ngai.

Entirnan, zawlbuk hmang ta ila. Mizote nunah zawlbuk a pawimawhzia leh inthununna hmun ber leh tlawmngaihna hnâr, “a tel loin Mizo nun a kim thei lo” tih hiala kan sawi thrin a ni. Mahse, chu chu a dik chiah em? Chu chu Revisionist-ho thil zawh thrin chu a ni.

Tun china kan hriat dan chuan, kum 1350 vel atrang tawh khan Chin Hills atrangin Zo hnahthlak threnkhat chu kan lo thlangtla tawh a, Tripura leh Chittagong Hill Tracts velah kan tla thla a, Kawrvai (Bengali) ten ‘Kuki’ tiin min lo ko a. Kum zathum hnuah, 1700 AD vel khan Luseiho chu Mizoram-ah an lo thlang tla ve a.

Zawlbuk chu ral laka inven nana (defence system) an duan chhuah a ni. Khawtlang inrelbawlnan leh inthunun nan hmun pawimawh tak a nih avangin, “Mizo nun ze mawi tak tlawmngaihna chhawm nungtu pawimawh a ni a, titi trangkai leh pipu chanchin inhlan chhawnna hmun a ni bawk” (B.Lalthangliana, Zoram Encyclopaedia, p.765)

Chik zawka kan histawri kan thlir chuan, Selesih atranga darh ta Luseiho leh a hnua Fanai Pawihho lalna khaw-ah deuh chauh zawlbuk a awm a, Zo hnathlak hnam dang tumahin zawlbuk  an neih ngai lo.

Hetianga thil sawi hi ‘Exclusive Approach’ a ni. A chhan chu zawlbuk neih ho chauh Mizo-ah kan chhiar a, Zo hnahthlak dang 75% vel chu pawnah kan dah tihna a ni.
