They belong to the Tibeto-Burman group of the [replace with] Cino-Tibetan community and speak the Kuki-Chin dialect. They live in the [replace with] hilly regions of rangamati and bandarban districts. According to the 1981 [replace with] census, the number of Lusheis was 1,098, but the 1991 census showed the [replace with] number as 662 and the number of Lushei households as 124. The number may [replace with] have gone down due to their exodus to neighbouring Mizoram State where their [replace with] ancestors still live. In 1961, the Lushei population in Mizoram was [replace with] 2,11,807. [replace with] [replace with] Historical Background: [replace with] Many Lushei people also went [replace with] to Myanmar, not so much to settle there but to do hunting. Some people [replace with] regard Lushei and Lushai as synonymous but in fact Lushei is the name of an [replace with] ethnic community, while Lushai means a group of ethnic communities living in [replace with] Mizoram. Once upon a time, the Lusheis hunted for human skulls. This is why [replace with] they were dreaded by others. [replace with] At present, they are [replace with] Christians and are no longer known to be head hunters. In the 19th century, [replace with] hordes of Lusheis used to plunder villages in Kachar, sylhet, noakhali, [replace with] chittagong and Chittagong Hill Tracts and kidnap other people and force them [replace with] to work in their farm, and to do other work. In 1871, two British generals [replace with] led an expedition against Lusheis. This is known in history as the Lushei [replace with] Expedition. [replace with] [replace with] Social System: [replace with] [replace with] Family Structure:  Lusheis [replace with] have a patriarchal society. In the past, Lusheis did not have a king of [replace with] their own. Every village used to have a chief and he was known as Lal.
