About Mary Winchester
Mary Winchester, or Zolûti to Mizos later Mary Innes Howie, (1865–1950) was a British girl who was captured and held hostage by the Mizo tribes of Mizoram, India, in 1871, and rescued by the British expedition in 1872. This historic event marked the beginning of British rule in Mizoram that lasted until Indian independence in 1947. Indirectly, it also paved the way for Christian missionaries to introduce Christianity among the Mizos.
