The world’s biggest family is in Mizoram where 162 people live together in one house. In the Baktawng village, the largest family in the wrold has the head f the family and leader of the Chana sect, Ziona, 66, living with 38 wives and 94 children with some of his sons having married and having children of their own living together in a building named Chhuan That Run or the House of the New Generation.
The largest family cooks 30 kg pork and 50 kg rice every day.One of Ziona’s wives said that though their sons lived in different rooms in the building they all share the kitchen where they cook for the entire family. “We prepare 30 to 35 kilo of pork when we want to eat meat and require around 50 kilo of rice for dinner,” she said.
The members of the sect numbering almost 3,000 live in around 350 houses. A majority of the sect members reside in Baktawng village and have a separate locality called Baktawng Tlangnuam while many also lived in Aizawl and other places.
They all contribute one tenth of their monthly earnings for the sect, which is used for the development of the community which practises a blend of democracy and communism.
Earlier known as Khuangtuaha Pawl, the sect was formed on June 12, 1942 after the followers of Khuangtuaha were evicted from Hmawngkawn by the village chief for propagating ‘wrong and dangerous’ theology.
