Summary: The village of Zawlnghak consisted of about 1,000 houses, including 150 houses of the Ranctz clan, an offshoot of the Hmars. One night, Thangvuka, a brave young man in the village had a dream about Keitawna, who was believed to be a sorcerer. Disturbed by the dream, Thangvuka decided Keitawna must die. He eventually killed Keitawna with an axe, leading to superstitions and beliefs in the village associated with death and calamity. The society had a high moral standard driven by fear of the supernatural, but it eventually deteriorated due to the influence of government protection and missionary teachings. The people followed spiritual values, rituals, and customs, including sacrifices to appease spirits and ancestral beliefs, which shaped their community and behavior. The chapter also touches upon various stories and traditions in Lushai culture that emphasize the importance of societal norms, communal support, and the impact of animism on their daily lives.
