Pu Zo (the commön ancestor of all the Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi-Hmar-Laimi-Laizo-Mara- Khulmi- Komrem- Halam etc) beget Kipmang, Kipmang beget Nawphut, Nawphut beget Nawsung, Nawsung beget Songthu, Songthu beget Sungmang and Sungmang beget Pu Zahong. Zahong beget three söns Sektak, Tohin and Suantak. [1]
Our ancestral were living in CIIMNUAI and some of his descendents were migrated to CIIMTUNG in search of better cultivation and living which the historian term as Siyin or Sizang.Si means "salt" and Zang means "plane area" which indicates our ancestror who lived at the northern plane of Salt Spring. The later generations and offspring who continued to live on, in the same location, spontaneously adopted“Sizang”as their ethnic identity. Sektak is believe to be the eldest sön of Pu .Zahong and Vaiphei is the son of Suantak or Thuantak. The Siahtak , Sehtha and Siahliap are coin by neighbours which refer their proginator as "Sektak". The Suantak is proginetor of Vaiphei and other brothers. [2]
The Vaiphei left Khawvaiphei and found Khawzim where they live peacefully untill the Pawis and Sukte imposed war with them. Thereafter, they scatter in Mizoram, Manipur and other states for safety and better living. [3]
Zomi or Zo is a collective name and Sektak, Siahliap, Siahliak, Siahtak are the descendents of Pu. Zo who was living in Garden of Eden (Ciimnuai) [4]
In Suante's blog, it described more details about the descendents of Pu. Zo follows , " Pu. Zo beget two sons Kipmang and Chinhil, Kipmang beget Nawhphut and Lemang, Nawhphut beget three sons Nawhsong, Phuhsong and Suankap, Nawhsong beget Songthu and Ngaihte, Songthu beget Sungmang and Zakhai, Sungmang beget Songkip and Tohin, Songkip beget three sons Zahong, Ngawngtaw and Songza, Zahong beget three sons Neihthang, Sektak and Suantak. Neihthang beget Thango, Thango beget Daitawng, Daitawng beget Neihlut and Suankhup, Neihlut beget three sons Genzo,Baite and Neihzo, Genzo beget Khupmu , Suante and Henkhai... [5]
The statemaster encyclopedia stated that Tohin as middle son whearas Sektak is the eldest brother but Suante's blog mentioned Tohin as Sungmang son, Neihthang comes the eldest of Pu. Zahong whearas Sektak is the eldest son of Pu. Zahong.
The forefathers of Pu. Zo(Tibeto-Burman-Indo tribes) were believed to lived in near the river of Tao [6], northern Kansukhum, Lanchou believed to be present day of China around 2000 B.C. [7] But historian suggested that the forefathers of the Zo decendents were lived in the valley near Huang Ho river in China during the ruled of King Qin Shi Huang (221-206 B.C) . The History of Great Wall of China Wikipedia mention, " The walls were built of rammed earth, constructed using forced labour".. [8] According to tradition, the Chinese King Qin Shi Huang force the ZO ancestors to built great Wall of China without giving a single penny(force labour). Unable to bear those burdens, they fled China in the wee hours of Morning and hide in the Cave of thick forest. [9] Therefore, the North-East encyclopedia and various researchers concluded that the Tibeto-Burman-Indo tribes are originated from the CAVE [10] The Zomis' clan Paite [11] called the cave as "KHUK" , Kuki called "KHUL" and the Hmar called "SINLUNG that has same meaning "Cave". [12] The journeyed between Cave to Tibet then Ciimnuai is almost untraceable as there is no written Chronology and whether some migrated to Mongolia or the theory of Manmasi tribe of Israel. It is written , " They left the Cave in search of greener pasture... while another describes it as oppressive ruler. [13] Probabely after hiding in the deep jungle in fear of Chinese soldiers, they reach Tibet and took a shelter in a place called "Kham". Luaichinthang stated " A Chinese ruler forced their ancestors to build a great, big wall and unable to bear the hard labors any longer, they ran away from it in the wee hours morning." [14]
According to Rev S.T Hau Go, Zo descendents are known in various name- 'Yo' in Thado area, Laizo in Falam area, Zomi in Tedim area, Mizo in Lushai area, Zotung, Zophei, Zokhua in Hakas area, Bawm in Chittagong hill tracts, Yaw in Gangaw area, Jo or Cho in Mindat, Khomi in Paletwa, A-sho in Prome.... The Bengali term them Kuki, the Burmans called them Chin, and the Indian called them Lushai but Zomi is the most widely used National name. It is believed that the Zote [Zo/ Zomi] have descended from Mongolia to China and to Tibet and to the present day Burma. They are Zo not because they live in the highlands or the hills , but all Zo and call themselves Zo because they are the descendents of the great ancestor , "Zo" .[15]
The history of Migration from China to Cave, Cave to Tibet, Tibet to Burma is uncertainty as there were no record of historical books.But some modern historian suggested that the forefathers of the Zomi's were living in Kansukuam, Lanchou, China around 2000 B.C. [Yet to complete]
