SynopsisThe discussions in this book arrives us to the understanding that the Nexus of Patriarchy in its desire to create an Ideal Zo Christian State in Mizoram plays the self-proclaimed role of cleansers and sanitizers of the Zo society and thus monitor the Zo community into a faith (Zo Christian) abiding, culture conscious, 'peoplehood' (mihringna). The book shows how the humorous popular aphorism: 'Mizoram-ah chuan Sawrkar a lalber a, Kohhran a thuber' ('In Mizoram the Government is the highest authority, and the Church has the final say') becomes a 'lived experience'. Religion, Politics and 'being Secular' thus converge into a complicated web to conjure a strange concoction of what I call: 'being Zo Christian in an Ideal Zo Christian State in a Secular India'. It is this 'problematic of entanglements, accommodations and circumvents' of Religion and Politics that this book attempts to elaborate.
