Where to get help
If you need help editing or submitting your draft, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors. These venues are only for help with editing and the submission process, not to get reviews.
If you need feedback on your draft, or if the review is taking a lot of time, you can try asking for help on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject. Some WikiProjects are more active than others so a speedy reply is not guaranteed.
To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest.

The Hmar clans (known as Pahnam or Laibung) are the main patrilineal social groups of the Hmar people, an indigenous ethnic group of Northeast India found in Manipur, Mizoram and Assam. Hmar society is organised into a number of clans and sub-clans. Members of each clan traditionally claim descent from a common male ancestor.[1][2]
The Hmar follow a strict patrilineal clan system. A person belongs to the clan of their father and clan membership passes from father to children. Clans are exogamous, meaning a Hmar must marry outside his or her own clan. In the past, breaking this rule was considered a serious social offence. Clans are further divided into sub‑clans and lineages (phung or sungkuo). Clan names often refer to a real or mythical ancestor, a place, or a historical event.[3][4]
Hmar clans regulate several aspects of daily life:
Marriage: A Hmar cannot marry a person from the same clan. Any breach of clan exogamy was traditionally punished by social boycott.[8]
Inheritance: Property and family name are passed through the male line. The youngest son often inherits the family house.
Rituals: In pre‑Christian times, each clan had its own ancestral worship (Sakhuo) and specific sacrifices. Today, most Hmars are Christian, but clan identity remains strong in church and community gatherings.[3]
Oral traditions say all Hmar clans descend from a common ancestor named Hmar. The clans then split as families grew and migrated. Some clans, like the Thiek and Lungtau, are believed to be the older ruling clans because most clans belongs to them. The clan system preserved the history and genealogy of the Hmar people before written was introduced.[3]
