History of Mizoram
History often varies from legends. But the story of the Mizos getting out into open from the neither world through a rock opening is now part of the Mizo fable. Chhinlung, however, is taken by some as the Chinese city of Sinlung or Chinlingsang situated close to the Sino-Burmese border. The Mizos have songs and stories about the glory of the ancient Chhinlung civilization handed down from one generation to another.
It is hard to tell how far the story is true. It is nevertheless possible that the Mizos came from Sinlung or Chinlungsan located on the banks of the river Yalung in China.
All cities, towns and villages are located on top of mountains.This is because in earlier times, Mizo tribes used to fight with each other and to make attacking enemy's job more difficult, it was considered safer to create habitats atop a mountain. About 400 years back, similar strategy was used by Chhtrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Maharshtra when he built/acquired over 300 hill forts to fight successfully against Mughals and other tyrant powers in the region.
