¤¤ Kei ma ii theih na:,,,,:

J. Shakespear laibu: The Lushai Kuki Clans sung ah a nuai bang in na gelh mah hi. “The existing Lushei Chiefs all claim descent from a certain Thangura, who is sometimes said to have
sprung from the union of a Burman with a Paihte woman, but, according to the Paihte, the Lusheis are
descended from Boklua, an illegimate son of the Paihte Chief Ngehguka...From Thangura the pedigree
of the living chiefs is fairly accurately established. The Lusheis, in common with the Thados and other
Kuki tribes, attach importance to their genealogies; and pedigree, given at interval of many years, and
by persons living far apart, have been found to agree in a wonderful manner. From comparison of these
genealogies and from careful enquiries lasting over many years, I estimate that Thangura must have
lived early in the eighteen century. His first village is said to have been at Tlangkua, north of Falam.
From him sprang six lines of Thangur chiefs: 1. Rokhum, 2. Zadeng, 3. Thangluah, 4. Palian, 5. Rivung,
and 6. Sailo. To the north the country was occupied by the Sukte, Paihte, and Thado clans. These
appear to have been firmly established under regular chiefs.“(J. Shakespear, pp. 2-3)

Dear U Van Hmung,

All the Lusei tribes[clans] have well recorded (by songs, poems, stone inscriptions; By written these days) history or family tree. I have some of these books. Here I want to let you know the facts about Sailo clan.
1. Lusei tribes (mainly Chhakchhuak group, Hualngo,Hualhang, Lunkhua, Baichi) lived in Seipui village and its surrounding areas in(1400-1500 A.D). They captured Ralnaa (Galna, Son of Boklua of Suantak tribe[clan]) near Run river and took him back to Seipui.
2. The Lusei (Chhakchhuak) never treated Ralnaa as 'slave' but adopted him as their son. Ralnaa changed his 'religion' and worshiped what Luseis worshiped. That means he was not treated as a slave but 'adopted'. Lusei chiefs married Ralnaa to 'Lawileri', daughter of Lawitlang clan.
3. Ralnaa‘s (Galna) name was changed as 'Zahmuaka' as he was welcomed by many people when he was taken to Seipui. [“Zahmuaka“ literally means “welcomed by hundreds“ because he was welcomed by hundreds of people on his arrival at the Seipui village. tzd]
4. Ralnaa (Now Zahmuaka) and Lawileri had 6 sons, Zadenga, Thangluaha, Paliana, Rivunga, Rokhuma, Thangura.
5. Sons of Ralnaa (Zahmuaka) went to western side of Tio river (now Mizoram) before other Lusei clans went there. Lusei clans were invited by 'Hnamte' tribes to lead them but other Lusei clans denied it and sent Zahmuaka's sons. Zahmuaka's sons [therefore] became chieftains of Mizoram first.
6. Later, Zahmuaka's sons and their decendents called themself "Sailo" clan.
7. They worshiped "Muchhip Pathian" even from Mizoram. With Sailo (clan), Lusei tribe is devided into
12 clans today.

Dear Pualva,

Thanks for your explanation. I visited almost Zophei villages in Chin State and had interviewed some of the elders ten years ago. Villagers in Zophei area asked me " Can you speak Leiri ( if I am not mistaken leiri- refering to Halkha
thlantlang/Thantlan g dialect)'. Of course, I could speak and write well in Laiholh[Haka dialect]. Contrary to what you have written, It seems to me that those whom I met did not identify themselves as Lai . My friends from Zophei region communicate each other in Zophei holh.
Let me explain you how I got Zo as my ( first) name. Duhlian speaking people, especially those who worshipped Pathian, the Supreme Being who manifested at Mt. Muchhip, called themselves as " Zo fate( the sons/ descendants of Zo)". That was why my parents gave me Zo as my name. My full name is Zo Sai Kunga. The middle word " Sai" was derived from " Sailo" as I am his 12th descendant. Sailoa was my great grand father from my mother‘s side.
Like many young Chins ( clifford, victor, henry, benjamin, edward, stoney, patrick, noel, nelson...), I got my English name " Stanley" from [my] English class . I used Stanley Kunga" in [the] prodemocracy movement as there could be repurcussions from the MIS[Burma‘s most feared and hated Military Intelligence Service] by using my full name.

Thanks,

Kunga

Subject: [chinland] Mizo Vs Lusei/Lushai


Dear all,

I would make it clear that who Lusei/Lushai hnam are. Lusei has 12 clans. (I had argued that not to write Lusei as Lushai.) Those are: Hualngo, Hualhnam/Gualnam, Hual Hang, Hnamte, Chhangte, Chhawngte, Pa Chuau, Chuau Ngo, Chuau Hang, Lunkhua, Sailo/Thangur ...
Lusei is just a family name, not a political name at all. Most of the migrants to Tahan and Kale valley from Mizoram do not belong to the Lusei family. In Mizoram, they don't even proclaim as Lusei, no more. Hualngo, Hualhang become Chhakchhuak in Mizoram. ZNP president Pu Lalduhoma is Hualhang and Chhakchhuak. Let‘s say Captain Vuta (father of Rev. Zothanmawia/ English Methodist-Rgn) can proclaim himself as Lusei because he is Chhangte clan of Lusei.
Lusei itself does not belong to Duhlian dialect at the first place because Ralte, Chawngthu (I may point Lt Col Lalmuana (late) was the one), Ngente, Kawlni, Tlangkhua, Saihmun and others speak Duhlian in locality, around Rih Lake in Chin State. If someone campaigns as Lusei hnam for political or languistic gains please ask if he/she belongs to one of these 12 clans. Well!! migrants, due to drought, from Mizoram may say they are Mizos. It is fair enough.
The name Mizo started in the 1950's, three decades before Mizoram Statehood. Remember Mizoram Day, adopted by Pu Laldenga, is fallen on February 20, the day we celebrate as Chin National Day since 1948.

Pu Keivoma said "Hnam ah kan chiang tur a ni" then we can move on.
