Districts of East MizoramDistricts of East Mizoram include Champhai district and Serchhip District. In these districts, one can find the tribal population. The Mizos are the original habitant here. The origin of the Mizos, like those of many other tribes in the North Eastern India is shrouded in mystery. They are generally accepted as part of a great Mongoloid wave of migration from China and later moved out to India to their present habitat. It is possible that the Mizos came from Shinlung or Chhinlungsan located on the banks of the river Yalung in China. They first settled in the Shan State and moved on to Kabaw Valley to Khampat now converted into a district and then to the Chin Hills in the middle of the 16th century. In 1959, Mizo Hills was devastated by a great famine known in Mizo history as `Mautam Famine". The cause of the famine was attributed to flowering of bamboos which consequently resulted in rat population boom in large numbers. After eating up bamboos seeds, the rats turned towards crops, infested the huts and houses, and became a plaque to the villages.
