Mizoram Peace Accord of 1986: A Political Analysis of Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding

Author(s) Ms. PC Lalmuanpuii, Dr. Sejal Yadav
Country India
Abstract After two decades of insurgency in the area, the Mizoram Peace Accord of 1986 is considered by many to be one of the most successful attempts at conflict resolution in Indian history. The June 30, 1986, agreement between the Government of India and the Mizo National Front (MNF) marked a crucial turning point in Mizoram's political landscape. Political and economic problems, especially the Government of India's poor response to the Mautam famine in 1959, were the root cause of the struggle, which started in 1966 and gave rise to the MNF under Laldenga. Violent clashes occurred during the insurgency, such as the 1966 Aizawl bombing, which was the first time the Indian Air Force was employed against its own people. An agreement that guaranteed constitutional protections for Mizo identity, given Mizoram full statehood, and made it easier for the MNF to reintegrate politically was the result of protracted peace talks, especially under Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. The success of the pact was attributed to a number of factors, including the proactive role played by civil society, particularly the Church, in fostering reconciliation. The Mizoram Accord resulted in a permanent settlement, making the state one of the country's most tranquil and politically stable areas. The accord is examined in this paper as a conflict resolution paradigm, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in peacebuilding, developmental programs, and political negotiation. Mizoram experience provides important lessons for dealing with insurgencies in other conflict-prone areas by highlighting the significance of economic development, governance changes, and mutual trust in post-conflict reconstruction.
