III. 2010s: Zomi Diaspora maw; Kawlgam Kitelkik Hun?
Tu laitak Kawlgam kitelna thu tawh ih buai mah mah laitak ahi hi. Gamsung kitelna ding vaitawh kisai, gampua pan ih buaipih ciat mah mah hi. Gam thumna tung khin te le tungnai lo Malay ah thaam lai tengin, Kawlgam democracy ngah takpi le ih ciah kik nawn diam? Nuntakna haksat manin India lamah ana lal to khin uh ih sanggam Zomi tampi na om a, tua te pen tulaitak Kawlgam Zomi te thu ih gen ciang, amau kihel lotawh kibang zel hi.
Tu laitak Malay le leitungbup ah Zomi te galtaina ah amau kihel lo uh hi. Nung in Carey Tuangpu in alai at na khat ah Meitei gal hong pian pen Zomi te’ thupha hi, India lam te le Kawlgam lamte kilomkhat thei nading hi ci in gelh hi.

Twenty-first century Zomi te tu ni in, leitungbup ih tun’na pen CHRISTIAN UPNA KISUKSIAT PAULAM a, atatakin gilkial, ankhamloh man ahi zaw hi.

Tu ni in Tedim khuasung khangno te pau pen nidang a Tedim pau tawh awsuah kikhai mahmah khin a, nidang ciang Tedim kam ih cih Tedim khuapi sung pau pen aw tuampi khat hong hi ta ding hi. Tua hun ciangin, leitung mun tuamtuam a om Zomi khangthak te le Zogam, Kawlgam, Vaigam a om Zomi akici te Zokam tawh akihopih thei lai diam? Tua hun ciangin Zomi te’ identity pen CHIN-CHRISTIAN mah ahilai diam?
Gamdang a, migam nuam mahmah vantunggam abang gam ah akhangkhia Zomi khat in tanglai pupa gam ahi Zogam Chin State ah ciahkik ding amangmat lai ding hiam?
