PHYSICAL FEATURES
Mizoram is a mountainous region with steep hills separated by rivers that create deep gorges between them. Phawngpui or the Blue Mountain is the highest peak (2210m). The Tropic of Cancer runs through the state.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 
Like many other northeast Indian tribes, the origin of the Mizos is shrouded in mystery. They are generally accepted as part of a great Mongoloid wave of migration from China. After being annexed by the British in 1891, for the first few years, Lushai Hills in the north remained under Assam while the southern half remained under Bengal. Both these parts were amalgamated in 1898 into one district called Lushai Hills District under the Chief Commissioner of Assam.
