The Mizo Peace Accord, signed on June 30, 1986, between the Indian government and the Mizo National Front (MNF), is a model of conflict resolution and exemplifies the spirit of accommodation in post-colonial India. The accord brought peace to the Mizoram region after two decades of insurgency. Mizoram celebrates this day as 'Remna Ni' or Peace Day, but the rest of India is not aware of it. The author suggests that June 30 should be observed as Reconciliation Day to highlight the strength of accommodation and reconciliation in the Indian federal system. The author also mentions the significance of December 16, 1971, as Victory Day, which marks the victory of the Indian armed forces and Bengali guerrillas over Pakistan's army, leading to the creation of Bangladesh. The author emphasizes the importance of reconciliation in resolving the Naga problem, the longest ethnic insurgency in India, and suggests that the Indian government should learn from the Mizo peace process to address the issue.
