VAIPHEI

The Vaiphei, which falls under Mongoloid stock, is one of the many Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi-Hmar tribes living in the North-East India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. The belief common among the Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi-Hmar tribes, that their ancestors emerged out of Khul/Khur/Sinlung/Chhinlung (cave) exists among the Vaipheis. The origin of the name 'Vaiphei' is still debated but the general understanding is that the name derived from a village called Khawvaiphei (in erstwhile Burma) where the Vaipheis developed a distinct identity all their own and in which each member took immense pride. As time went by, the Vaipheis had a sharp disagreement with the Suktes and the Pawis. Due to this, they left Khawvaiphei and founded Khawzim where they lived in peace and prospered until the Pawis made war on them and scattered them, levelling Khawzim to the ground. The Vaipheis have founded many settlements in the Chin Hills and Mizoram. According to some legends when the Thibom dynasty of Mandalay became powerful and began to subjugate smaller communities, the Vaipheis left their settlement site in fear. They fled to a place called Kalemyo and then to Saizang. Moving on from Saizang they came to Ciimnuai and then Khawsak where they were divided into Sizang and Vaiphei. According to a noted Zo historian, the Vaiphei group went towards the Chin Hills and from there began to enter Manipur from its hilly south eastern regions around 1491 A.D. Leaving a group in Manipur, many Vaipheis spread out further to the north and west and settled down in what is today Mizoram, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Bangladesh. [Legend has it that the Chief of Ciimnuai was Pu Zahong, the ancestor of the Vaiphei, who was also sometimes referred to as Nuaimangpa which literally means Chief of Nuai/Ciimnuai].
