Two of the most intense movements for political secession from
India had been staged in the two « tribal states of Northeast
India, namely Nagaland and Mizoram. Because the two states record
the country's highest percentage of Christian populations,
Christian missions in the Northeast have been suspected and accused
of having played clandestine roles. This book challenges this
pre-sumptuous allegation, and proposes that the root of the
ethno-political movements must be sought in the identity-formation
process of the people. The Northeast tribals' resentment to the
depressing political identity imposed on them and their resistance
to the threat of domination are identified as the immediate factors
for the ethnopolitical revolutions. The development of Christianity
in Mizoram is selected as the focus of the study. The Study
discloses that the Mizo Christian experience of ecstatic revivals
uniquely interlaced Christianity with the people's cultural
identity, engendering the spirit of Mizo ethnonationalism. The
emergent people's strong sense of identity resisted the threat of
cultural domination and political assimilation by the Indic India.
