The impact of the west on Mizo society has resulted in a ridiculous craze for Westernized names, fashion and lifestyle in general. This is so because the once unadulterated Mizo culture that existed in the pre-colonial era has been tampered by the introduction of Western mannerism as well as Christianity. Today, there are as many Mizos bearing anglicized names as there are those having pure, unaltered traditional names in the local vernacular. This paper will attempt to explore the politics of anglicized names and its subsequent impact on the formation of Mizo cultural identity. 2015-12-04T00:00:00Z http://pucir.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/881 Title: Traditional versus colonial mentality Authors: Lalmawizuala, Henry 2016-10-01T00:00:00Z http://pucir.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/880 Title: The Orphan hero in Mizo Folklore Authors: Lalmawizuala, Henry 2014-06-01T00:00:00Z http://pucir.inflibnet.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/879 Title: Ready or not here i come Authors: Lalmawizuala, Henry 2015-10-01T00:00:00Z
