Chin Day Celebration

Chin-Mizo and other hyphenated people group expats in SoCal met to celebrate the 61st anniversary of the Chin Day.


I'm sure the organizers had their best intentions to line up a talk on "Chin Migrants in India." A very gracious Dr. Hrangkhuma tactfully deflected the title's problematic implications to suggest the underlying commonalities that should/could be better celebrated. All in all, a great evening of fun food and reconnecting with like folk in the area.

I'm glad everything went well. The photos look nice. Cheers.

By the way, kudos to the Chin leaders in Mizoram who lashed out at those Chin refugees who tarnished Mizoram's name. They even apologized on their behalf.

Sandman: I read that news item. Kudos to you guys for initiating conversation across the table without trivializing the plight of the Chin folk. Keep up the good work!
