I still remember a couple of instances when I was doing some project or the other, and I suddenly need a couple of data regarding Mizoram, like the population, density etc... First of all it was embarrassing because I didn't know it myself since it was my Home State. Secondly, it was frustrating because most of the results I got on Google™ were vague or outdated.
Hence, from the recently published "Statistical Handbook of Mizoram 2006" I am just refurnishing some of the data printed there, so as to help others who might be looking for such data on Google™ (my blog sometimes shows on up the first page of Google search result
)
For further inquiry, feel free to contact me at silv_kim[at]yahoo[dot]com if you cannot find the official site/figures that you require. I would be obliged to help you out (In Mizo, we call this "tlawmngaihna"
)

Percentage of Christians (2001 census): 86.97%
=>the other 13%??? Thought Mizoram & Nagaland are the only states in the Northeast with 100% Chrstianity!!!!
Probably some of the non-Mizos settling/working here in Mizoram... Anyway, Mizoram and Nagaland are a Christian majority State, so 90% or 100%, how does that matter? :-)
I think Mizoram population is a little more than 9 lakhs according to the latest census. ..
http://desmizo.nic.in/mizorampop.html
Mizoram Population as on March 2003 : 9,21,970
On Churches:
Evangelical Church of Maraland(India) with population over 45,000(and over 200 missionaries) should have been included in the Church list. Presbyterian Church, Baptist and ECM(I) are the only three Churches founded by English Missionaries a 100 years ago.
Secondly, Mount Mawma with 6370 feet(1941.57 metres) height is the 5th Highest mountain in Mizoram which we used to learn in Mizoram schools.
Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Mawma
To mnowluck:
A part from Non-Mizos settling/working in Mizoram, there are Chakmas who are mostly Buddists and are non-Christians. They number almost 60,000 by now. In less than a million population, theirs can really reduce Mizoram Christian%.
Anyways, its just what Kim could collect from here and there. An Authentic Statistics of Mizoram must be available somewhere.
achhhaa...this is great..
BTW, i never heard of most of the mountains :D

@ anonymous: Thanx for your information dude. Its really appreciated. As I have pointed out, all I am doing is re-publishing what was printed at the "Mizoram Statistical Handbook 2006" Ofcourse I can try getting more recent data later, but I really appreciate you taking the time to comment on my blog about the following data.

If Mizoram population is a little more than 9 lakhs according to one of the comments, any idea how much is the 'total' population of north east states (Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Assam)? atleast in an approx.?
