Suangdoh
human settlement in India
Suangdoh is a mid-sized village and the headquarters of Suangdoh Sub-Division/TD Block, Churachandpur district, Manipur, Northeast India. It is located along Guite Road/NH-102B within what is known as the Guite Kual. Most of the villages in this area are headed by a Chief of the Guite clan.
Political History
Suangdoh has always been under Guite rule. Among the Guites, the Suangdoh Chiefs are descendants of Thangpau, the third son of Innpipa Pu Vummang, the 17th direct descendant of Pu Guite. From his capital in present-day Teddim, Pu Vummang ruled over many villages who paid him taxes and owe him allegiance.
Location
The village was originally situated on a hilltop approximately 5 km north of its current location. It bordered Sialbu to the north and Lungchin to the south, with the Tuivel and Tuilak rivers marking its eastern and western boundaries.
Today, Tuiveljang, Tuilakjang, Doupau and Chiangpi were curved out of Suangdoh land, and its lands had been considerably reduced.
To the east, it borders Tuimanjang, Mualjin and Maukot villages while to the north lies C. Tuiveljang, Mongken, Doupau, Chiangpi and Sialbu villages.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Suangdoh” as human settlement in India. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as human settlement in India. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7630479. Authority coordinates are 24.087, 93.484. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
