A person who became bawi (slave) for killing someone was named?
A)
Tukluh bawi
B)
Inpuichhung bawi
C)
Hnamchawm
D)
Chemsen bawi
In traditional Mizo society, the system of 'Bawi' (slavery/servitude) had various categories based on how a person entered that status.
1. **Tukluh bawi**: This refers to a person who became a slave as a form of punishment or restitution for committing a grave crime, specifically killing someone. Instead of being executed or exiled, the perpetrator (or their family) would enter into servitude to the victim's family as a means of atonement and compensation.
2. **Inpuichhung bawi**: This generally refers to domestic slaves or those born into servitude within a household.
3. **Hnamchawm**: This term refers to a 'social outcast' or someone who has been banished from the community/tribe, rather than a specific category of slave for homicide.
4. **Chemsen bawi**: This is not a standard historical term for a slave resulting from homicide in Mizo customary law.
Therefore, 'Tukluh bawi' is the correct term for a person who became a slave due to the act of killing someone.

A)
Seluphan
B)
Sathingzar
C)
Sahlam
D)

In traditional Mizo history and warfare, the 'Sathingzar' was a specially erected pole used to display the severed heads of enemies killed during raids or battles. This practice was a symbol of victory and bravery for the warrior and the village.
Analysis of other options:
- Seluphan: This refers to a specific type of traditional Mizo attire or cloth pattern, not a pole for heads.
- Sahlam: This is not a recognized term for a victory pole in Mizo historical context.
- Thinglu bul: This term does not correspond to the practice of displaying enemy heads; 'Thinglu' generally refers to a type of bamboo/wood, but the specific term for the head-pole is Sathingzar.
