Hmar People's Convention


The Hmar People's Convention was established as a political party in 1986. The group advocates for the rights of members of the Hmar people, one of the smaller tribes of northeastern India.
The group was formed following the conclusion of peace between Indian central government and the Mizo National Front on 30 June 1986, which did not take into account the Hmar wish for autonomy. Their main demand is to create an autonomous region in the north and northeast of Mizoram.
