The 18-year-old is the youngest player in the women’s hockey team which also clinched a silver at the 2018 Asian Games after scripting history by reaching the final for the first time in 20 years.

Chants of Remsiami echoed, while another section of the crowd sang in unison as Lalremsiami passed them sitting in a bamboo made open palanquin. It is considered to be the highest honour in Mizo traditions.

Lalremsiami comes home grand welcome“Back in 2014, we gave a grand welcome to Mizo Idol (a singing competition in the state) winner Grace Lalchhanhimi, and now four years later, we have gathered here again today. She is the daughter of Kolasib,” Lalnunmawia Sailo, a resident of that area, present at the gathering was quoted as saying by The Indian Express.

“Everyone has left their political differences and for once, the conversation is not about politics but Remsiami,” said another referring to the upcoming elections on November 28, reports the daily.

Me in an open palanquin, paraded the town of Kolasib — this is beyond a dream. If this is the kind of love I get from them, I’ll give my life to achieve more.”
