Khalkam
Khalkam was a Lushai chief of the 19th century. He is known for being the son of Sukpilal and for being an enemy of the British, which led to the Lushai Rising. Khalkam was deported to Hazaribagh jail after British capture, where he committed suicide with his brother Lengpunga. Chieftainship Khalkam inherited villages under his father Sukpilal to rule with relative autonomy and independence. He was situated on the border of Cachar. His capital settlement was southwest of Changsil on Sentlung Hill. First East-West War In his youth Khalkam fell in love with the Eastern Lushai maiden named Tuali. However, Tuali was prepared to be betrothed to Lenkhama, son of Vonolel. Khalkam convinced his parents Sukpilal and Pibuk, to wage war on Lemkhama after the marriage of Tuali. The war continued from 1864-1867 and weakened Sukpilal into entering diplomacy with British authorities. The end result of the war was unsuccessful as Khalkam failed to take Tuali.

Lushai Rising
The Lushai Rising was the conflict between the British and the Lushai chiefs in 1890-1895, which began following the annexation of the Lushai Hills after the Chin-Lushai Expedition. It concerned the Western chiefs, the Eastern chief and Southern chiefs separately at different intervals. By 1895, the Lushai resistance and rising was considered over. Background The annexation of the Lushai Hills saw punitive expeditions with a new goal to annex the Lushai Hills and establish a garrison to control the raiding of the Lushai tribes. However, after the expedition ended in April 1890, not all Lushai chiefs supported the annexation and influential chiefs formed organized resistances as a result. Two offices of political officers were created in the North and South Lushai Hills. The tasks were to pacify the tribes and establish outposts. Western Lushai Rising Murder of H.R Browne Captain H.R Browne was appointed as political officer of the North Lushai Hills on 1 April 1890. On 13 Ju ...

Sukpilal
Suakpuilala, known by the British as Sukpilal, was a Lushai chieftain from the Sailo clan who held considerable influence over the western Lushai Hills. Sukpilal conducted a series of raids in British tea plantations and entered a diplomatic relationship with the British soon after. He was also a patron of bazaars and riverines established in the Lushai Hills as the first official trade channels. A defender of his sovereignty, Sukpilal's influence in the Lushai Hills was used by the British for mutual benefits. Chieftainship Sukpilal began to grow his influence by annexing neighbouring chiefdoms. Another chief known as Mora, who was a sworn enemy of Sukpilal, passed away and his son, Vonpilal also passed away, leaving Mora's widow, Impanee to become regent to her infant son Lalhai. This weakening allowed Sukpilal to take over their territories and grow his influence. Impanee broke her alliance with another chief, Vuta, and gave away land to Sukpilal's son, Khalkam, who successfu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vonolel
Vanhnuailiana (; ; - 1871) was the chief of the Eastern Lushai Hills. Vonolel expanded his influence over the Sukte and Poi tribes in the east and attempted incursions into Naga territories in Manipur. He was considered the most powerful chief in the Eastern Lushai Hills until his death in 1871. He presided over several conflicts during his period of chieftainship. Chieftainship Vonolel's father, Lalsavunga, originally migrated his settlement from Champhai to Saitual. It is estimated that Lalsavunga died in 1849 hence allowing Vonolel to inherit chieftainship. Other sources place Lalsavunga's death earlier such as 1820 and Vonolel's rule beginning in 1818. After the North-South War between his uncle Vuta and the Southern Chief Lalpuithanga, Vonolel left Saitual to Tualte. Old Tualte Tualte was one of the largest settlements in pre-colonial Mizo history. The earliest confirmation of its existence was in 1861 despite existing before from an unknown date. The settlement was estim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mizo People
The Mizo people (Mizo: ''Mizo hnam'') are an ethnic group native to the Indian state of Mizoram and neighbouring regions of Northeast India. The term covers several related ethnic groups or clans inside the Mizo group. All Mizo tribes and clans claim in their folk legends that Sinlung (alternatively called "Chhinlung" or "Khul") was the cradle of the Mizos. Sinlung can either refer to "enclosed with a rock" in the Mizo languages or to a main ancestor named "Chin-Laung" from whom Mizo, Chin and other clans descended. The present Indian state of Mizoram (literally "Mizoland") was historically called the Lushai Hills or Lushai District. The Lushai Hills area was defined as an excluded area during the British Raj, and as a district of Assam in independent India. The Mizo are divided into several clans, including The RALTE, PAITE, LAI, HMAR, LUSEI, MARA, THADOU/KUKI. Other Mizo people reside in other states in the immediate vicinity of Mizoram, such as Tripura, Assam, Manipur, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mizoram
Mizoram () is a state in Northeast India, with Aizawl as its seat of government and capital city. The name of the state is derived from "Mizo", the self-described name of the native inhabitants, and "Ram", which in the Mizo language means "land." Thus "Mizo-ram" means "land of the Mizos". Within India's northeast region, it is the southernmost landlocked state, sharing borders with three of the Seven Sister States, namely Tripura, Assam and Manipur. The state also shares a border with the neighbouring countries of Bangladesh and Myanmar. Like several other northeastern states of India, Mizoram was previously part of Assam until 1972, when it was carved out as a Union Territory. In 1986 the Indian Parliament adopted the 53rd amendment of the Indian Constitution, which allowed for the creation of the State of Mizoram on 20 February 1987, as India's 23rd state. According to a 2011 census, in that year Mizoram's population was 1,091,014. It is the 2nd least populous state in t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
History Of Mizoram
The history of Mizoram encompasses the history of Mizoram which lies in the remotest part of northeast India. It is a conglomerate history of several ethnic groups of Chin people who migrated from Chin State of Burma. But information of their patterns of westward migration are based on oral history and archaeological inferences, hence nothing definite can be said. The recorded history started relatively recently around the mid-19th century when the adjoining regions were occupied by the British monarchy. Following religious, political and cultural revolutions in the mid-20th century majority of the people agglomerated into a super tribe, Mizo. Hence the officially recognised settlement of the Mizos became Mizoram. The earliest documented records of Mizoram were from the British military officers in the 1850s, when they encountered a series of raids in their official jurisdiction in Chittagong Hill Tracts from the neighbouring natives. By then they referred the land to as Lus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
