This paper examines the ethnic political impact of Indo-Myanmar boundary of Mizoram in the North East India. Mizoram shares borders with Bangladesh, Myanmar and the Indian states of Tripura, Assam and Manipur. Brawny historical, cultural, political, traditions and ethnic connections between Chin and Mizo might suggest a strong claim to belonging. Some of the routes to India from China across Yunan and Myanmar were laid through even before the Han Dynasty of China. The Emperor Wu, who ruled China during 140-86 B.C sent and envoy Chang Chien who learned about India and seen Chinese silk in India while he was on a mission to find out and allied tribe living west.Assam, Manipur, Nagaland and Tripura in India; and the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh. Zo is one of several similar identity movements in the Northeast India, which have variously been described as “cosmopolitan identities”, “micro-nationalisms” and “adjacent identities” (S. Zou 2012).
