The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

By the end of the 18th century the people of Tai-Page entreated Assam located in Northeastern India, establishing their kingdom. The word Page is derived from the Tai words 'Pa' meaning wall and 'ge' meaning ancient or old.<ref>((cite web | url=http://www.assam.org/node/2354 | title=The Tai Phake community of Assam &#124; Assam Portal ))</ref>

== Journey to Establish Own Kingdom ==
The Tai-Page people aimed to expand their kingdom in order to attain national recognition and enrich their people's daily lives. The Heads of the village conducted a series of movements and procedures across India to aid the expansion and recognition of the kingdom. To ensure some safety the oldest prince; Prince Chow allowed the army to follow him on this journey.

The eldest prince Chow Seukapha proceeded westwards, the second prince Chow Seukhanpha towards the east and Chow Seuchatpha towards the north from [[Yunnan]] along with their selected group of followers. The three princes consulted they're [[almanac]]s and embarked in three different directions. The youngest prince Chow Seuchatpha assumed leadership and established his reign in the historically rich kingdom of Yunnan.

To ensure the welfare of his people, the proliferation of his race and propagation of his supremacy, Chow Seukapha traversed the [[Patkai Hills]] and came down to '''Moung-Noon-Chun-Kham''' or the Kingdom of [[Assam]] in 1228 AD and established the [[Ahom kingdom|Tai-Ahom kingdom]] in Assam.<ref>((Cite web |title=Chaolung Sukapha ((!))

== Journey of Tai-Phakes with Chow Seukhanpha ==
The Tai-Pages joined as contingent to the group who wished to establish a large kingdom under the leadership of the second prince Chow Seukhanpha. Seukanpha had moved ahead with his soldiers and people in the northern direction from Yunnan and established his kingdom in Moung-Kwang (Mogawng) situated in present-day [[Burma (Myanmar)]]. The king ordered the Pages to settle on their own and start their livelihood in a place called [[Hukawng Valley]] in 1215 AD in consensus to the king's order.

Three rivers flowed through the heart of Hukawng valley. These three rivers were: Khe-Nan-Turung, Khe-Nan-Taram and Khe-Nan-Chalip. They flowed and united into a single body of water near a stone wall of huge magnitude forming a [[Canyon|gorge]] to a river since antiquity against which the waves of the three rivers violently bespattered. The Tai people inhabiting within the vicinity called this wall of the old mountain as ''Pha-Ke''. "Pha" means a great stone and "Ke" means old. Thus ''Pha-Ke'' means the wall of an old hill or in other words the Tai people inhabiting near the side of the old mountain.

The Hukawng valley inhabited by the Phakes was then bounded in the east by the Lang-Ta hills on the other side of which was the principality of the Tai-Khamptis. To the west were the Pungyi-Punga hills. The Patkai hills bounded the northern limits on the other side of which stretched the green crops of [[Assam]], to its south were the Jampu hills on the foothill tracts of which the Phakes resided.

== Annexation of Hukawng Valley By Burmese King ==
The Tai-Phakes resided in the Hukawng valley for more than 400 years after which the entire Hukawng valley came under the supremacy of the then king of [[Myanmar|Burma]]. The oppressive anarchical administration and tyranny of the Burmese king made the Tai-Phakes anxious. It was at about this time that the Phakes came in contact with the [[Jingpo people|Singpho people]] during the year 1247 AD. While they were residing on the foothills of the [[Jampui Hills|Jampu hills]], the cautious and wise among the Phakes and Singpho people began to salvage themselves from the oppression of the king. They decided to remain united and mutually help each other in testing times of adversity, and for that, they slaughtered a buffalo and had a special feast of its meat.

Both the Phakes and the Singphos passed their misfortune filled days. Then according to a written agreement, they resolved to establish a strong, stable and independent kingdom away from the willful rule of the Burmese king. All through the night and the dense fog that covered up the dark cloudy skies, the Phakes and the Singphos discussed and unanimously dawned on the decision to abandon their erstwhile home in Hukawng and almost immediately embarked on their quest to establish an independent kingdom of their own.((cn|date=November 2022))

== Tai-Phakes Abandon Hukawng Valley And Migrate To India ==
In 1775 AD the Tai-Phake people travelled towards the green valley of Assam, travelling the same route taken by King Seukapha.  The Singphos and the Phakes traversed Patkai and came to rest in a place bordering Assam and Burma. They called this place ''Pang-Sao''. "Pang" means place and "Sao" means rest. Thus ''Pang-Sao'' means resting place.

Learning of the Tai-Phake people's journey, the King forced them to retreat.  In response to this, the Tai-Phake people abandoned Pang-Sao and resumed their journey towards the plains of Assam. During the journey, the Tai-Phake people came to the bank of a large pond filled with [[moss]],  situated in the state of [[Arunachal Pradesh]]. They made the pond their center and called it ''Nong-Taw''. "Nong-Taw" directly translates to the moss-filled pond. Towards the end of 1775 AD the Phakes and the Singphos settled and started a stable society in this plain stretch of land where the two groups lived for a few years. During the time that they lived in Nong-Taw the Phakes also came into close contact with the [[Khamti people|Khamptis]]. When the Sadiya Khowa king heard about the settlement of the Phakes and the Singphos at Nong-Taw he dispatched a huge army to destroy them.  Resulting in a [[Coup d'état|coup]] against the Sadiya Khowa king in 1797 AD.
