A video showcasing the “civic sense” of Mizoram is going viral on social media, drawing widespread praise from netizens. Despite its simplicity, the clip has garnered over 5 million views and sparked a broader conversation online about public behaviour and road discipline in India.The video was shared on Instagram by a user identified as Arthant Khandelwal. In the clip, vehicles can be seen strictly following lane discipline, cars and bikes remain in their respective lanes, avoid overtaking recklessly or driving on the wrong side, and patiently wait in traffic. Notably, there is no honking heard in the video, a stark contrast to traffic scenes in many Indian cities. A text overlay on the clip reads, “Civic sense of Mizoram, India.”Since being
posted, the video has amassed more than 5 million views, over 3 lakh likes, and thousands of comments, quickly turning into a talking point across platforms.
The comment section is filled with mixed reactions. Many users expressed admiration, with some claiming that civic sense in Northeast India appears to be better than in several other parts of the country. However, others, including users identifying themselves as residents of Mizoram, responded with humility, acknowledging that while the state may not be perfect, they appreciated the positive recognition.One user wrote, “North East is better than all India.” Another commented, “Civic sense is illegal in all of India except India’s Northeast.” A third user, claiming to be from the state, wrote, “As a Mizo, we are not perfect, but thanks for the credit.” Another added, “We Mizos are far from perfect, but thanks for promoting the good side.”Several users also reacted humorously, suggesting that people from cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, and Pune might find the video hard to believe. One joked, “Delhi people saying this is AI,” while another wrote, “Pune and Bengaluru people think this is AI.”The viral clip has reignited discussions around civic behaviour, road discipline, and how small everyday actions can shape the overall public environment.
