The Hmars are divided into several clans and sub-clans though there is no discrimination on the basis of such division in their society now. However, in earlier times there used to be clan wars with each clans occupying a separate village. It is for this reason that there are some Hmar villages which still retained their clan-village names. Eg. are: Khawzawl, Zote, Biete, Khawbung and Sungte villages.

the first comment for correction was posted on June 30, 2009 5:36 AM and the most recent on February 24, 2011 2:04 AM, still I see that nothing has been done to correct the mistakes. please note that these information might be used or referred to by someone as such, I believe you understand as an administrator of a popular blog, the gravity of a wrong information or a slight mistake made in a published material. i hope you will correct the mistakes eventually.
the story remains the same......................
FAIHRIEM le VANGCHHIA hai te ti unau an lo ni zing an naw maw?
Wikipedia....says
Vangchhia is the name of a town in the state of Mizoram, India.
Vangchhia or Vangsie is also the name of one of the numerous clans of the Mizo tribal groups. Genealogically, they along with related clans like the Khawlhring, Pautu, Faihriem , etc. trace their descend from Chunthang, the son of Berhva. According to the Vaiphei tribe, Berhva / Chunthang is regarded as descended from Khauza (Buite). Khauza is said to have two elder brother viz. Khaute/ Khauva (progenitor of the Khaute, Ralte, Duhlian, Keivom, Neitham, Neihsial etc.) and Khaupho ( Hoinge, etc). And they are all said to be descended from Vaiphei, who was also regarded as the progenitor of the Suantak, Sizang, Thangkhal, Sailo, Thangluah, Rivung, Baite, Suante, Ngawn etc.
