Abstract This study examines the perceptions of refugees from Myanmar regarding the socio-cultural systems of Mizoram, specifically in the Champhai district, which has experienced significant refugee migration. The short study explores the complex relationship between the refugee communities and the local Mizo population, focusing on aspects such as cultural affinities, governmental schemes, religious influences, and the role of local organizations like the Young Mizo Association in facilitating integration. Using both primary and secondary data, including surveys and interviews, the study assesses how refugees perceive the Mizoram cultural system based on demographic factors such as age, clan, and country of origin. The findings reveal that refugees from Myanmar exhibit more favorable views of local systems, showing the most positive responses, particularly toward denominational influences and governmental administration. The study underscores the importance of clan and origin in shaping refugee attitudes and highlights the role of kinship networks, cultural continuity, and informal community support in facilitating successful integration. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on refugee integration, offering valuable insights for policy-making and social support mechanisms in border regions like Mizoram.
