The Hmars are hard working and peace loving people who contributed their talents and man power resources through various discipline viz Civil, Police, Foreign Services and Central secretariat of India. There are innumerable numbers of the Hmars who are faithfully contributed their services in almost all the state government services of India as well as in multinational company.

Hmar Martyrs’ Day (16th May):
Inspite of the Hmar people contribution, the government of India as well as government of North Eastern states are reluctant to redress the grievances of the Hmar who are totally neglected of infrastructure development in their areas. Anyone could understand this fact if they happen to travel the Hmar areas in the north eastern region of India. After repeated appeal, prayers and democratic protest made by various civil organizations, more subjugation and suppression of their rights and dues are the only replied they got. This led to more intense agitation by way of taking local made arms to defend them self. Rather than understanding the plight of the Hmars, they are tagging as an arms group who are indulge in illegal activist against the state government especially in Mizoram, Manipur and Assam. This led to the lost of many innocent lives of the Hmars in their movement to uplift their society and dominated areas. Fortunately, due to the intervention of the Central government, Suspension of Operation (SoO) had been signed with the State government which resulted to lower rate of violence and lost of innocent lives. But neither amicable solution nor infrastructure development has been implemented especially in the Hmar areas till date. It is a hope for the Hmars that this step motherly treatment made by various state governments of the North Eastern States of India be a thing of the past at the earliest.
