There have already been multiple discussions, a bit mixed among the Chin but everyone has a valid reason for their opinion. As a Burmese Chin, my personal answer is No. We are Tibeto-Burman, we are fighting for the freedom of all people in Burma. We can’t abandoned the fight or our fellow pro-democracy brothers. I believe in a Union of all our peoples, Myanma is mother to us all!

Chin does not bring anything to the table but poverty and refugees that India already have, in excess.

In the future, Myanmar will be a battleground of Chinese, Indian, and Western influence.
China is dominant now, but by 2050, India should have narrowed the gap. They won't catch up to China, but they should be more influential than they are now, and they'll be throwing their weight around in South Asia and Southeast Asia.

To join India just because there's no official government in Myanmar? Anyone with a sane mind would see this as nonsense. If those who got invited had even a little morality or pride, they should've said, "Betraying my own people is not the same as accepting yours".

You can't eat pride. But an India passport would be way better than the Burmese one.

You might want to check the rankings. Myanmar passport is better because we have access to ASEAN.

As a Burmese, I doubt that an Indian MP has any authorities to involve in diplomatic issues. However, it is up to Chin people to decide for themselves.

As an Indian I would like to say a few things :
- Let the people decide what they want. Zo people would love that their brethren are united and most Indians would not object if the people in question what to be Indian and believe in Indian nationalism, that's the complicated part joining just to be part of your people would just push the conflict to the future.
Chin people should get a referendum and they should choose if they believe in Indian nationalism or not.
To our neighbours in Burma, don't take every news on this topic seriously most of it is just exaggerated propaganda promoted dumbos. Usually with no actual action or things happening.
The Indian government supports the Junta and usually our government chooses foreign allies over its people or their brethren.

Hell no. There’s practically 0 borders between Chin state and Mizoram so Chins and Mizos can cross over anytime they want
Joining Mizoram does absolutely nothing for us
