Chin
The Chin are one of the largest ethnic minority groups in Myanmar. They are thought to be Tibeto-Burman groups and came to Burma in late 9-10 century AD to Chindwin valley, most of Chin people moved westward . Chin people are scattered into three countries: Myanmar, Bangladesh, and India. Majority of Chin people settle down in Chin state of Myanmar. There are many tribes among Chin people, three major tribes of the Chin are Tedim, Falam and the Hakas.
Traditionally, the Chin were animists. However, during the era of European imperialism, many converted to Christianity. It would also be noteworthy that because of the current situation in Myanmar hundreds of Chins are scattered in Europe, the United States, and Southeast Asia.
