Till 1962, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram were the districts of one State i.c. Assam. The State of Nagaland was born in 1963, Meghalaya in 1972 and Mizoram was separated from Assam and became an Union Territory on 21st January, 1972 and-on 20th February, 1987 it became a State. Arunachal Pradesh, which was known as North East Frontier Agency (NEFA) was made an Union Territory and named Arunachal Pradesh on 21st January, 1972 and got its Statehood on 20th February, 1987. Manipur and Tripura, formerly Princely-States, were Union Territories until when they got full flaged status of States on 21st January, 1972.
The Mizos live in Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and some parts of Assam and Meghalaya. Some kith and kins of them are inhabited in Burma (Chin Hills and Bangladesh (Chittagong Hill Tracts). Some main tribes of Burma are: The Karen, Palaung. Yang. Taungthu, Kachin, Lushai Chin, Lisu etc. In Bangladesh: The Chakma, Garo, Kuki, Riang, Mag, Halam. Lushai, Noatia etc. The separation of Burma from India in 1935 and the partition of India in 1947 had badly effected a significant change in Geographical boundary which caused an economical, political and social changes among the life and culture of the Mizos. Since 1954, the term Lushai has been superseded by the generic term MIZO to identify all the tribes, sub-tribes of the Lushais those who are of the same origin and having same social and cultural affinities.
