A Chinside come one of a big ethnic minority groups in Burma. The Chin population come Tibeto-Burman groups & it probably come to Burma, especially a Chindwin vale in the late 9-10 century A.D. Virtually all Chin population moved westwards & it probably settled in the present Chin State in The.Five hundred 1300-1400 The.D. A original meaning of "Chin" is clearly unreadable, potentially though numbers of scholars proposed several different theories.

There are numerous tribes among a Chin humans like Lai, Zomi, Asho & Cho. Lai ethnic, decendants of Tibeto-Burman class action, is one of a biggest among a Chin Nationality. Lai humans as well call for themselves Laimi, which literally means "Central people." It never call for themselves 'Chin", which is a Burmese term for Lai people and other people in Chin State. Lai generally and basically means "exchange," and "mi" means people. So, Laimi generally means "a Central population." The Lai people thought that they are in the Middle of this universe,according to their tradition. The Lai tribe can be seen largely in Haka, Falam, Thantlang, Matupi and Kale valleys. Most Lai people perhaps 95%-98% are Christians. There are ten of thousands of Lai people in Mizoram State, India, mainly in Lai District, formerly part of Chhimtuipui District. Bawn tribe in Southern Mizoram State and Bangladesh are descendants of Lai tribe. This Lai people scattered into three countries-Burma, Bangladesh, and India.

Traditionally, the Chin were animists. However, during the European colonial age, many converted to Christianity.
