North–South War of the Lushai Hills
From Warlike
The Chhim leh Hmar Indo, or the War of the North and South, was a civil war in the Lushai chiefdoms, taking place between 1856 and 1859 and widely considered one of the bloodiest conflicts among the Mizo people. The conflict arose due to a division in the Sailo family between the northern descendants of Lallula and the southern descendants of Rolûra. Several battles, including famous pasalṭha such as Chawngbawla, took place. The Khawnglung Massacre granted advantage to the northern faction before the mautam famine ended the conflict.
