Vonolel
Vanhnuailiana (; ; - 1871) was the chief of the Eastern Lushai Hills. Vanhnuailiana 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 Vanhnuailiana's father, Lalsavunga, originally migrated his settlement from Champhai to Saitual. It is estimated that Lalsavunga died in 1849 hence allowing Vanhnuailiana to inherit chieftainship. Other sources place Lalsavunga's death earlier such as 1820 and Vanhnuailiana's rule beginning in 1818. After the North-South War between his uncle Vuta and the Southern Chief Lalpuithanga, Vanhnuailiana 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 unknow ...

Lushai Expedition
The British Indian Army Lushai Expedition of 1871 to 1872 was a punitive incursion under the command of Generals Charles Henry Brownlow, Brownlow and George Bourchier (Indian Army officer), Bourchier. The objectives of the expedition were to rescue British subjects who had been captured by the Lushais in raids into Assam—including a six-year-old girl called Mary Winchester (Zoluti), Mary Winchester—and to convince the hill tribes of the region that they had nothing to gain and everything to lose by placing themselves in a hostile position towards the British Government. For the British, the expedition was a success: the prisoners were freed and the hill tribes agreed to negotiate peace terms. The border region was to remain peaceful until 1888 when large-scale raiding was resumed and another punitive expedition was organised. Prelude After turning the Burmese out of Assam during the First Anglo-Burmese War in 1824, the Bengal Presidency, Bengal Government of the East Indi ...

Lalsavunga
Lalsavunga (; -) was an early Mizo chief. He was the grandson of Chief Lallula and father of Vanhnuailiana. He helped consolidate Sailo dominance in the Lushai Hills as chief and is credited with founding the original site of what is now Aizawl. Early life Lalsavunga was born to Lalpuiliana and Khuangtiali. Since Lalpuiliana was sickly and unhealthy since a young age, Lallula arranged for a wife. A brave Pawi girl known as Khuangtiali who had a reputation for living alone was married to him. He had a sister named Vanhnuaithangi. Lalsavunga was approximately born after the Thlanrawn massacre which was circa 1750. Chieftainship Lalsavunga's grandfather, Lallula assigned him chief of Zawngtah village in 1782. Lalpuiliana had passed when Lalsavunga was very young and hence he was taken under the care of Lallula. Lalsavunga, his sister Vanhnuaithangi and his mother Khuangtiali would reside at Zawngtah upon him becoming chief. In 1790, Lalsavunga would move to Phulpui and then Kelsi ...

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. Suakpuilala 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, Suakpuilala's influence in the Lushai Hills was used by the British for mutual benefits. Chieftainship Suakpuilala began to grow his influence by annexing neighbouring chiefdoms. Another chief known as Ngura, who was a sworn enemy of Suakpuilala, passed away, and his son, Vonpilal, also passed away, leaving Ngura's widow, Impanee, to become regent to her infant son Lalhai. This weakening allowed Suakpuilala to take over their territories and grow his influence. Impanee broke her alliance with another chief, Vuta, and gave away land to Suakpuilala's son ...

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 Lianphunga. 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.

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.

History Of Mizoram
The history of Mizoram encompasses the history of Mizoram which lies in the southernmost 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, a 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
