With 1,200 Members Eligible To Vote, This Family in Assam Grabs Election Spotlight

News 18  

We’ve all heard about the ‘world’s largest family’ residing in Mizoram, headed by the late Ziona Chana, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 76, leaving behind 38 wives, 89 children, and 36 grandchildren. The Nepali Paam village, where the family resides, garners attention, especially during elections, as all 300 families in the village belong to the same lineage, descendants of Ron Bahadur Thapa. Currently, except for two, all married daughters of Ron Bahadur Thapa live in Nepali Paam.

Therefore, every candidate is striving to maintain good relations with the village elders, particularly Til Bahadur Thapa, the eldest son of Ron Bahadur Thapa and the village head.
