Which one of the following was considered bad spirit in early mizo days?
A)
Si-hai
B)
Khawhring
C)
Khuavang
D)
Maimi
In early Mizo traditional beliefs (pre-Christianity), the spiritual world was populated by various spirits.
1. **Khawhring**: These were considered malevolent or 'bad' spirits. They were believed to cause diseases, misfortune, and death. People often performed rituals or sought protection to ward off the influence of Khawhring.
2. **Si-hai**: These are generally regarded as the spirits of the dead or ghosts. While they could be feared, they are categorized differently from the inherently malevolent 'Khawhring'.
3. **Khuavang**: These are considered benevolent or 'good' spirits. They were believed to bring luck, prosperity, and blessings to the household.
4. **Maimi**: This term generally refers to a spirit or ghost associated with a specific person or entity, but it does not represent the general category of 'bad spirits' in the way Khawhring does.
Therefore, among the given options, Khawhring is the correct answer as it specifically denotes the bad/malevolent spirits of early Mizo folklore.

2. **Hringlang tlang**: The soul then ascends the 'Mountain of the Living' (Hringlang tlang) to separate from the earthly realm.
3. **Lunglohtui**: The soul must cross the 'Water of Discontent' (Lunglohtui), a difficult crossing that tests the soul.
4. **Hawilopar**: The soul passes through the 'Hawilopar' (a transitional stage/gate).
5. **Mitthi khua**: The soul reaches the 'Village of the Dead' (Mitthi khua), where most souls reside.
