Chin leh Paite minam aom diam? ~ Thawn Tuang

Kawlgam lam aom Zomi ten bang hangin India lam aom Zomite Paite mi ki ci hiam cih thu ka za ngei hi. Tua ban-ah India lam aom Zomi ten Kawlgam lam aom te Chin mi kici uh hiam cih thuzong ka za ngei hi. Hih thute ka om muan panin ka lungngai tawntung aa, bang phawk khia ka hiam cihleh Zomi te sungah teenna gam ki batloh manin ih minam ahi keeilo khat peuh tawh namdang ten hong sam ahihna ka mu khia hi. Zomi ciatciat Chin mi in hong sam om, Paite mi in hong sam om ahih manin Chin leh Paite cih pen Minam min taktak hi hetlo cih pen mu khia ing.

Zomi te India lam ah Chin mi cih ki zangh ngeilo uh aa, Kawlgam lam ah zong Paite mi cih ki zangh ngeilo sawnsawn ahih manin Chin leh Paite cih pen namdang te hong piak ahih zia a nuai aom munte ah ki mu thei hi.

Paite mi:: Mikangte leh a pualam mi nam dangte in Chin leh Chin Hills ci-in ciamteh uh hi. Tedim gam pan a peem khia/a lal te Aizawl gam leh Manipur gam a tung mi pawl khatte i kilawh i kisapna khat in Paite kici pen Zogam gen loh Tedim gamsung mahmah ah zong a kizat loh pen mi tampi-in lamdang sa in a hang kithei nuam ciat kha ding hi. Tua tawh kisai-in Census of India 1931, Vol. XI, Part 1, laimai 184 sungah: gamsung minam ciaptehna sungah Paite cih pen kiphiat hi.

Bang hang hiam cih leh Zogam Mangpi (Deputy Commissioner of Chin Hills) in a genna ah Paite cih min pen Falam gam mite in Zogam sak lam (Northern Chin Hills) a teeng Zomite pen Thahdo hitaleh Zote hitaleh, Sukte hitaleh mi namte a cihna uh kampau hi a, amau minam min, amau kilawhna min hi lo hi ci hi. A mau ki lawhna min taktak Zomi na ci uh hi. Zomi lo adang min pen mi nam dangte hong sapna hilel ahih manin Paite cih pen minam min taktak ahih loh zia ki tel hi.

Chin mi :: Zomite in ‘Zosuante’ i cih, Mizo ten ‘Zo hnahthlak’ a cih teng pen British kumpi in hong uk ma in amau hong ciaptehna-ah ‘wild hill tribes’ ci-in, ih gam pen ‘un-administered area’, ci uh hi. Chin pen tua hunin British kumpi in Zomi namte tenna teng uk nadinga 1896 kuma a bawl thukhun zong ‘Chin Hills Regulation Act’ vawh ziau uh hi. Hih thukhun pen Chin hills ban-ah Lusei te, Kuki te leh Naga te teenna teng huamsak in kizang ahihi.

Mikangte in Chin, Kuki, Lusei ci-a hong ciapteh uh hangin amau mahmah in, “Amau pen Chin hiam, Kuki hiam kici het lo mah uh hi ven,” hong ci kik veve uh hi. J.G Scott in a laibu, ‘Burma’ cihna ah, “The names Kuki and Chin are not national, and like others, the people do not accept the name given to them by the Burmese and ourselves; they do not call themselves Chins and they equally flout the name of Kuki which their Assamese and Bengali neighbours use.

They call themselves Zhou or Shu, and in other parts Yo (Zo) or Lai” ci-in, Dr. G.A. Grierson leh midangte muhna mah tawh kituakin na gelh hi. Bertram S. Carey leh H.N. Tuck ten zong Zote, Thadote leh Guite thu a gelhkhopna-ah “These Zos, Thados and Guites are called by the Manipuri’s Kuki or Khongjais, who only made their acquaintance after they had migrated north, but the people call themselves by the name of Zo (Yo)” ci-in na ciamteh uh hi.

Guite Innpipa Pu Go Khaw Thang zong, “Go Khaw Thang, who, as already related, was seized by the Manipuris in the course of the Lushai expedition of 1871-72, was the Zo Chief of Mualpi,” ci-in Zo hausa mah na ci uh hi. Mikangte in Chin, Kuki in hong ciapteh uh hangin amau mahin ei le ei pen Chin peuh, Kuki peuh i kicih loh lam hong tel mahmah uh hi.

Mikangte in Chin-Lushai- Kuki hong cih hang, amau mahin ei-le-ei pen ‘Zomi’ kici uh hong cih mah bangin, tua panin hih sungah ‘Zomi Nam’ ci-in ih zangh denta hi. Pu Vum Son’ muhna-ah i minam min ‘Zo’ cih pen ‘Zo’ kici mi khat’ suante i hih man hi, ci hi. Ama mimal muhna hi aa hithei hilo thei hi.

Kawlzang panin Zomi namte pen AD 1000 kum pawl panin nitumna lam khamtung gamah tai kipan ta dingin kituat hi. Khamtung gama a tai, pawlkhatte in Ciimnuai khua sat uh a, tuate pen tulai tak thawntuangah ‘Zomi’ a kici Tedim gam, Tonzang gam, Manipur gam leh Mizoram donga teeng, Ciimnuai-a piang a kici teng hi. Ciimnuai khua mun pen tulai tak a Saizang khua khang ahi hi.

Chin ahi zongin Paite ahi zongin minam dangten hong ciapteh uh hangin amau mahmah in Chin cihte Paite cihte amau sungah kuamah in thei khalo uh aa, zangh hetlo uh ahih manin amau leh amau Zomi ki ci uh ahih manin ei sapna Chin cihte Paite cihte amau minam min taktak hilo hi ci ngiat uhhi. Hong ciamteh ten amau thuthu in hong ciamteh uh hangin amau hong ciamtehna pen nidangin ih pu ih pi ten na thei khalo in na awlmawh beklo uh hi.

Hong ciamteh ten hong dong kha hileh minam min ZOMI na ci ciatciat ding uh ahih lam ki langh semsem hi. Mi nam dangten ih minam ” Zomi ” pen Chin peuh, Paite peuh in amau ut thutawh hong ciamteh ziau uh pen ih pu ih pa te leh lai theilo ten na thei kha banlo uh ahih manin nam dangte hong samna khem peuh tu hunteh thuman penpen thutang penpen tawh minam min ZOMI mah tawh a kal suantoto ihih manin ih maban te namtuito semsem in limcii semsem hi. Minam itna leh veina tawh a kaikawm… Thawn Tuang
