The Bru–Mizo Conflict
This rejoinder to Shyamal Bikash Chakma and Suraj Gogoi’s article “The Bru–Mizo Conflict in Mizoram” (EPW, 3 November 2018) questions their treatment of the question over historical depth, as well as the inaccurate and incomplete representation of facts and silencing of the “victim” voice.
The author gratefully acknowledges the anonymous reviewer for their suggestions.
Shyamal Bikash Chakma and Suraj Gogoi’s response titled “The Bru–Mizo Conflict in Mizoram” (EPW, 3 November 2018) to my article “The Bru Conundrum in North East India” (EPW, 28 April 2018) contains various accusations and assertions that merit further discussion. I shall deal with two major issues in this rejoinder, first, the issue of identity and history, and second, the “victim” voice.
