it was the resolute n brilliant action of Indian Army that restored order. The day was saved by the brilliant leadership and tactical acumen of then Eastern Army Commander, the man who would be the Hero of 1971 War - Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. 2/n
Mizo leadership was weakened by one dare-devil IB Officer who caused most of the Mizo leaders to defect. Shekhar Gupta recalls Mizo CM T Sailo saying that things would have been so much better had there been more officers like him. That Officer is our present NSA - Ajit Doval 3/n
The other strong personality was a politician who withstood the pressure tactics of Mizo insurgency and refused to give into their ambitious demands and helped in weakening the insurgency. This convinced the Mizo groups to consider peaceful resolution. Name? Indira Gandhi 4/n
Or the Indian hero is Mr Swaraj who defended Lal Denga in court n was the advisor to MNF during negotiations with Govt of India. He was subsequently made ASG to the Govt of Mizoram and also the Governor of Mizoram.
