The correct answer is: a) Government neglect during a famine.
The Mizo National Famine Front (MNFF) was formed in 1966 in response to the Mizo famine of 1965-66. The famine was caused by a combination of factors, including drought, crop failure, and government neglect. The MNFF demanded that the government take action to alleviate the suffering of the Mizo people, and eventually led a rebellion against the Indian government. The rebellion was unsuccessful, but the MNFF’s demands were eventually met, and the Mizoram state was created in 1987.
Option b) is incorrect because the Mizo National Famine Front was not formed in response to the suppression of Mizo identity. The Mizo people have a long history of resisting outside rule, and the MNFF was formed in response to a specific event, the Mizo famine of 1965-66.
Option c) is incorrect because the Mizo National Famine Front was not formed in response to the influx of refugees from Bangladesh. The influx of refugees from Bangladesh did not begin until the 1970s, after the MNFF had already been formed.
Option d) is incorrect because the Mizo National Famine Front was not formed in response to border disputes with Myanmar. The border dispute between India and Myanmar is a long-standing issue, but it did not play a role in the formation of the MNFF.
