Government neglect during a famine
Suppression of Mizo identity
Influx of refugees from Bangladesh
Border disputes with Myanmar
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
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 1965-1966. 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 address the famine and improve the lives of the Mizo people.
The other options are incorrect because:
- 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 strong sense of identity, and the MNFF did not see the suppression of their identity as a major problem.
- 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 have a significant impact on the Mizo people.
- Option d) is incorrect because the Mizo National Famine Front was not formed in response to border disputes with Myanmar. The Mizo people have a long history of conflict with the Burmese government, but this conflict did not play a role in the formation of the MNFF.
