"The Tashons (Falam/Taisun) as usual proceeded with deliberation: they collected the Yahows (Zahau), the Whenohs (Hualngo), and all the Shunklas (Sunthla), and crossing the river, overran and utterly laid waste the whole rebel tract. Only those who fled into Burma evaded death or slavery."

"The result of the rebellion was very disastrous to the Torrs (Zanniat) and their allies. They are now slaves of Falam, and have to carry from the plains of Burma all the salt and rice which may be required by that village, not only for its own consumption, but also for sale to the Yahows and the outlying villages. The Tashons do their utmost to discourage free trade with the plains, as they wish to keep the salt trade in their own hands. The trade is very profitable as the Tashons get the salt brought up from the plains without cost and sell it at a fabulous price to the more distant and ignorant villages. The following are the villages which have to carry salt free of cooly hire from Burma to Falam :— Tawyan (four villages)."

HISTORICAL HEGEMONY, TRIBAL LINEAGE, AND MODERN DISUNITY IN CHINLAND

By Salai Thangte Laizozanniat
REPORT: HISTORICAL HEGEMONY, TRIBAL LINEAGE, AND MODERN DISUNITY IN CHINLAND - by Salai Tluang Kip Thang Topographic view of Falam Township of Chin hils on Google Map, May 11, 2026. I. Historical Expansion and the Rise of the Tlaisun Hegemony (18th–19th Centuries) The roots of today’s geopolitical and tribal tensions in Chinland can be traced to the expansion of the Tlaisun (Tashon) chiefdoms during the 18th and 19th centuries. Centered in present-day Falam, the Tlaisun established one of the most influential powers in the Chin Hills through aggressive military expansion, tribute systems, and slave-raiding economies. At the height of their influence, Tlaisun authority extended beyond modern Falam into the Lushai Hills (present-day Mizoram), parts of Manipur, and the Chindwin River lowlands, including areas such as Minkin and Mawlaik. This expansion transformed Falam into the dominant regional power long before British colonial intervention. The old Fahlam dynasty, prior to the British ...

DAWNGPUI (New Year)

By Salai Thangte Laizozanniat
Since ancient times, long before the existence of mainstream calendars like the Gregorian Calendar, a distinct tribe called the Zanniat has celebrated a tradition known as Dawngpui . This annual festival, passed down through generations, marks the beginning of a new year. Among the Chin ethnic groups, many tribes celebrate a harvest festival every year. Most tribes, however, do not have a specific date for their celebrations. For the Zanniat tribe, the first day of the new year has been consistently marked by the full moon in October, according to the Gregorian Calendar. In 2024, October 17th is especially significant as the Hunter's Supermoon—the largest full moon of the year—rises, making this year's Dawngpui celebration even more meaningful. One particular tribe claims that their harvest festival should be recognized as the Chin New Year. However, their ancestral tradition lacks a specific day that marks the beginning of the year. Given the precision ...
