| Resumo: | This paper explores the dynamics of Mizo Christian revival spirituality in North East India during British colonialization, examining its interactions with primal religious consciousness and its impact on social justice. It challenges the perception that Mizo revival spirituality is disembodied and otherworldly, emphasizing its deep-rooted connection to socio-cultural aspects. By considering its relationship with primal religion, the paper reveals the social implications of Mizo revival spirituality. It explores how the yearning for heaven within the revival movement relates to socio-economic liberation in present life, particularly in the context of Mizo primal eschatology. Additionally, it investigates the influence of revival spirituality on the liberation of slaves (bawi) and famine relief efforts. Furthermore, it highlights how the revival spirituality itself operated as a liberating force, freeing the Mizo community from the constraints of Western Christian cultural hegemony. This paper underscores the significance of Mizo revival spirituality in creating a third space that integrates elements of Christianity and primal religion, contributing to a transformative paradigm for social change in North East India. |
