The formation of the Mizo National Front (MNF) was driven by a demand for:

Greater autonomy and self-determination
Establishment of a communist state
Land reforms and redistribution
Abolition of chieftainship

The correct answer is: a) Greater autonomy and self-determination.

The Mizo National Front (MNF) was formed in 1966 by Laldenga, a Mizo nationalist leader. The MNF’s goal was to achieve greater autonomy and self-determination for the Mizos, who were then a part of India. The MNF launched an armed struggle against the Indian government in 1967. The conflict lasted for 20 years and ended in 1986 with the signing of the Mizoram Accord. The Accord granted the Mizos greater autonomy and self-determination, and Mizoram became a state of India in 1987.

Option b) is incorrect because the MNF was not a communist organization. The MNF was a nationalist organization that sought greater autonomy and self-determination for the Mizos.

Option c) is incorrect because the MNF did not advocate for land reforms and redistribution. The MNF’s focus was on achieving greater autonomy and self-determination for the Mizos.

Option d) is incorrect because the MNF did not advocate for the abolition of chieftainship. The Mizos have a traditional system of chieftainship, and the MNF did not seek to abolish this system.
