Who was the founder of the Mizo National Front?

• A. Lal Denga
• B. Laldenga
• C. Zoramthanga
• D. Pu Lalremzuala

Answer: (A)

Laldenga, a prominent Mizo leader, founded the Mizo National Front in 1961 after returning from exile. He organized the movement that sought independence for Mizoram from India, leading the Mnf’s early struggle for self-determination. The MNF later entered into the Mizoram Peace Accord with the government of India in 1986, transforming from a separatist movement into a political party that has since participated in state politics. Zoramthanga emerged as a later leader and chief minister after the accord. The other names are either misspellings or unrelated figures; Lal Denga is a misrendering of Laldenga, and Pu Lalremzuala is not known as the founder.
