International Seminar on ‘Chin People’ to be held in India’s Mizoram State
An international seminar on ‘exploring the history, culture and identity of the Chin groups’ is to be held for the very first time at Mizoram University in Aizawl, India next week from 13 to 15 October.
The three-day seminar which aims at raising awareness about the loss of identity and generating consciousness to restore the ethnic and cultural identities by the Chin community across the globe is organised by Department of History and Ethnography, Mizoram University, Aizawl and sponsored by Brussels-based The Euro-Burma Office.
“It would be the first time ever in Mizoram University. There will be quite a lot of experts participating, as many as 30 from abroad and the same number from within India. We are expecting more than 150 people to attend with many special guests including Professor F.K. Lehman and Professor George Bedell,” Coordinator of the seminar, Dr. K. Robin from Department of History and Ethnography told Chinland Guardian.
