The English have done their own equivalent of eating human meat and much worse. I hope when we protest such info it's not in the hope of "redeeming" ourselves and our reputation to the world because the rest of the world have done more harm to the world and to their fellow human beings than we Mizo ever did. So no shame, we don't need any redemption.Jerushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16220240614247032733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19175101.post-37261211086420084402011-02-22T08:28:31.736+05:302011-02-22T08:28:31.736+05:30Kims - hehe careful Kim.

Ya know,if sumone had taken the time to write about my people...documented how things were back then,I woulda been pleased..cuz u see...I don't know shit about mine,nobody took the initiative to write about my people...I don't even know my own language,in fact very few of my people do..ain't dat sad? Another few years and my tribe will fade away..like it didn't even exist. You see, you guys are lucky :)...and besides this is literature, poetic license..ya know ? :P So cut crazy Lewin a lill slack...relax..kick back...grab a steamin cup of coffee and read on!

And as Mizos, there are still so many things about our roots that are veiled in ambiguity. <br /><br />I'm very proud to be a Mizo. And I am willing to accept all parts of my Mizoness and my history - the good and the bad. I'm not saying I agree with all of Lewin's documentations, but I don't want to trash it just because I don't like the sound of it.<br /><br />This is what my cousin had to say about this - "lehkha bu kha,ka rilru a rawn lang hmasa ber chu Apocalypto LOL khatiang nen a in ''relate'' thei nih kha ka in ngaisang!" <br /><br />Liver ei pawh chu huaina a nih tak tak chuan, ei leh tran tawh pawh a ngai anih mai hmel LOLJerushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16220240614247032733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19175101.post-72231171617324941322011-02-21T10:04:53.720+05:302011-02-21T10:04:53.720+05:30Mes - it doesn't bother me.
