PS Haokip: From Mongolia, the Manasseh people headed eastwards, the direction from which the sun rises and went on to North Korea, South Korea and to Japan. As it was difficult to cross the Pacific Ocean, many advanced and settled towards the east coast of China, Taiwan, The Philippines, Yunnan Province in China, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Burma, North East India, and Bhutan. From Siberia, a section of the population settled in Western China, Ladakh in Jammu & Kashmir, and Sikkim.
Our forefathers who settled in Northeast India, Burma and Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh were known by the names of two brothers, namely, Songthu and Songja.
