Sibuta
Sibuta (-) was a Lushai chief. He is known for declaring independence from the sovereignty of Hill Tipperah and his cruelty as a chief. Early life Sibuta was the adopted son of a chief. Some accounts argue him to be an illegitimate son of Purburha while another argues him to be a captive of Chief Darpida. The chief recorded as his adoptive father is disputed. Reasons for why he was adopted has varied according to different sources. However, most agree that Sibuta was the brother of the chief's daughter Darlalpuii. Darlalpuii would incessantly bully and torture Sibuta. Resisting lashing out against her, Sibuta warned her that one day if he becomes chief she will regret her treatment of him. Sibuta around the age of eight soon begot a brother under the chief who would claim legitimacy as the next chief. Accounts record that Sibuta learnt how to handle poison and mix it into his father's zu. As for his brother, Sibuta took him to the fields and killed him. He would claim that his ...

Mizo Religion
Sakhua (lit. "deity divine force"), also known as Mizo religion, Lushai animism or ''Khua'' worship, is a traditional polytheistic ethnic faith practiced by the Mizo people prior to the widespread adoption of Christianity during the British annexation of Mizoram. As of the 2001 census, 1,367 people in Mizoram continued to practice this indigenous faith.Table ST-14a, Indian Census 2001 Definitions Vanlaltlani defines ''Sakhua'' as the worship of a benevolent unseen God, ''Pathian'', who resides in heaven and acts as the creator, protector, and benefactor of all creation. She also considers that animism was just one element of the ''Sakhua'' belief system. In contrast, Saiaithanga states that ''Sakhua'' does not involve the worship of ''Pathian'' or the ''Ramhuai'' (spirits dwelling in forests and lands). Instead, it focuses on ''Khuavang'', regarded as the spirit that provides protection and blessings. Rev. Liangkhaia explains ''Sakhua'' as rooted in spirit appeasement, involv ...

Hill Tipperah
Tripura State, also known as Hill Tipperah, was a princely state in India during the period of the British Raj and for some two years after the departure of the British. Its rulers belonged to the Manikya dynasty and until August 1947 the state was in a subsidiary alliance, from which it was released by the Indian Independence Act 1947. The state acceded to the newly independent Indian Union on 13 August 1947, and subsequently merged into the Indian Union in October 1949. The princely state was located in the present-day Indian state of Tripura. The state included one town, Agartala, as well as a total of 1,463 villages. It had an area of 10,660 km2 and a population of 513,000 inhabitants in 1941. History The predecessor state of Tripura was founded about 100 AD. According to legend, the Manikya dynasty derived its name from a jewel ('Mani' in Sanskrit) that had been obtained from a frog. The first king who ruled the state under the royal title of Mani ...

Zu (beverage)
''Zu'' is an alcohol beverage produced as a rice beer originating from Mizoram. Zu has been known as the favoured drink among the Mizos from the chiefdom era to the modern day. Production ''Zu'' would typically be prepared by elderly women with supervision from expert brewers in the community. ''Zu'' prepared for important ceremonies such as Chapchar Kut would be tasted by the brewing experts through a special bamboo straw. All variations of ''zu'' rely on a starter known as ''dawidim'' or ''chawl''. It is a traditionally prepared dried starter made from the bark of a climber called ''zangzu'', ''nilengthlum'' or ''hawhmathlum''. Rice is soaked in water overnight and dried for 15 minutes to remove excess water. It is then pounded into a power and made into a paste by adding a small amount of water. The paste is made into small circular cakes about 2 inches in diameter. The powdered ''zangzu'' is sprinkled evenly on the surface of the rice cake which is kept in a container wi ...

Gayal
The gayal (''Bos frontalis''), also known as mithun and drung ox, is a large domestic cattle distributed in Northeast India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and in Yunnan, China.Simoons, F. J. (1984). ''Gayal or mithan''. In: Mason, I. L. (ed.) ''Evolution of Domesticated Animals''. Longman, London. Pages 34–38. Taxonomy In his first description of 1804, Aylmer Bourke Lambert applied the binomial ''Bos frontalis'' to a domestic specimen probably from Chittagong. In 2003, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature fixed the first available specific name based on a wild population that the name for this wild species is valid by virtue of its being antedated by a name based on a domestic form. Most authors have adopted the binomial ''Bos frontalis'' for the domestic species as valid for the taxon. Phylogenetic analysis corroborates the taxonomic assessment that the gayal is an independent ''Bos'' species originating matrilineally from gaur, zebu and cattle. Characteristi ...

Lalchukla
Lalsuthlaha, known by the British as ''Lalchukla'' was a Lushai-Palian chieftain, ruler of the group recorded as the Paitoo clan. The Paitu or Poitoo kings were once a formidable force, under whose rule many Darlongs, Zadengs, Dapzars and other Tripura clans were said to have found shelter. It is likely that the name of a tribe recorded as Paite in Manipur have adopted or derived the name of their tribe from this ancient Paitoo/Pytoo, under whose rules a section of the Dapzar people are said to have flourish. Lalsuthlaha or Lalchhuthlaha is known for being one of the earliest chiefs to interact with the British through raiding. Lalchukla was a close associate of Hill Tipperah in following the diplomacy of his father Laroo. Lalchukla's raid of Kachu Bari saw British retaliation which led to him being caught. His trial was under English common law, and he was sentenced to life in captivity with deportation. Lalchukla would surrender under the assumed condition that he wouldn't be ...

Mizo People
The Mizo people, historically called the Lushais, are a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group primarily from Mizoram in northeastern India. They speak Mizo, one of the state's official languages and its lingua franca. Beyond Mizoram, sizable Mizo communities live in neighboring northeast Indian states like Manipur, Assam, Meghalaya, and Tripura, with minority populations also found in Myanmar and the United States. Mizoram is the most literate state in India, and the first to reach 100%. The Chin people of Myanmar and the Kuki people of India and Bangladesh are the kindred tribes of Mizos and many of the Mizo migrants in Myanmar have accepted the Chin identity. The Chin, Kuki, Mizo, and southern Naga peoples are collectively known as Zo people ( Mizo: ''Zohnahthlak''; lit. "descendants of Zo") which all speak the Mizo language Definition and subgroups The term "Mizo" is a collective name for the people inhabiting the State of Mizoram who have close affinity in dialect, origin ...
