"Theory of Burmese Origin"

1.The "Tangkhuls" belive that their last

migration was from Samsok in Burma. 2.Tangkhul folk songs concur:

Oh whence cometh thou originally?

Oh we originate from Samsok in Burma.

We call and gather all our kindred at Shakvao.

We make fire at Maichailung.

We distributed at Rungatak.

(Shimray, 1995, p. 6; Shimray, 1985, p. 30) 3.Elders of the "Kashung" clan of Kabomi (Tangkhul Hundung Village, Manipur) narrate that their ancestors settled in Hakwang valley (the present habitat of the Kachin) of Burma but were forced to migrate because of

war and strife.

4.Folksongs support this theory.

5.Modern Naga historians propounded a migration theory based on storytelling:

One of the Naga groups moved out during the building of the Great Wall of China. The short tempered character of the Emperor who

demanded forced labour, heavy taxation from his subjects, led to discontentment among the population. Many people died of starvation and exhaustion and political unrest forced the people to depart from this habitat. For reasons of survival, they made a mass exodus during this period. People escaped through the hilly terrain, valleys and meadows and slowly moved into the vast plains of Assam, experiencing the heat, rain and flood,

and moved into the deep jungles of the present Assam.

5.Those who survived moved towards the foothills of the mountain ranges following the course of rivers and streams.

6.The present two stones in Makhel-Makhrufu

Village known as Chunghi Rikru and Chunghi Ridzu, symbolizing the sun hen and sun cock were brought all the way from Assam.
