Based on the reliable sources, some of them has
been reported on this blog earlier., the ancient Pyu, Thet(Sak) and Tritsu came from their original abode of
northwestern India. There are four major tribes of people
followed him with his army to Iravati and Sarasvati (Chindwin) valley, modern Burma.
These are as described follow not in order
(a) Pyu
or Pru or Puru
(b) Thet
or Sak or Sakas, Sakyan
(c) Tritsu
(d) Yadava
or Yadu
It is evident that the Pyu or Pru came earlier with Sakyan Prince Abhiraj. Again the Arab Historian mentioned the
people he found living near Sri Ksettra were calling themselves as Tritsu ( Mr.
Blagran first mention the name as one of the language of the Rosseta stone
(Mra-say-ti or Myazeidi) inscriptions; which can be found in the following website; was that of
the Tritsu (Tircul). But we have to check again and consider the facts that the
great historians might not be meeting and communicating to each one of the
peoples. There might as well be some other tribes or clans such as Pyu or Pru
or Puru and Thet or Sek or Sak.
Please visit the following link to view Myazeidi stone inscriptions.
Refer our champion pioneer Burmese historian of 20th Century, Taw Sein Ko who mentioned that the Chin peoples rather than Sak (Thet) followed Pyu and Kanran tribes to found Pagan in first century AD. In fact, in our opinion and evidences available, some of the Chins themselves are Pyu or Pru or Puru or Pu people.

The Thet or Sak of Burmese history, who, with the
Pyu and Kanyan tribes, migrated from Prome to Pagan in the first century A.D.,
were a Chin tribe. According to the last Census,
Thet
was spoken by only sixty-seven persons in the Akyab district.
The
Chins are found from northern Arakan to Bassein and from Cape Negrais to the
Chindwin valley, with off-shoots in the Henzada, Tharrawaddy, Prome and Thayetmyo
districts. {P/22;Taw
Sein Ko}
He also reported that
the Pyu and Pu of the Pagan are the same, as
The Pali name for Pagan, the third capital of Burma,
is * Pugama,'—the village of the Pu or Pyu tribe. During the 8th century
B.C., under the Chou dynasty, Chinese history mentions a barbarian tribe called
the ' Puh '. In the 7th century A.D., under the T'ang dynasty, a tribe called
the P'iao, Fiu, or Pyu, is also mentioned. As evidenced by the derivation of
the name
*
Pagan*, the two tribes appear to be identical. {P/22:para-4
;Taw Sein Ko}
At this juncture we need some explanation how the word Pugama has been derived. From Saskrit and Indian administrative customs the village is called gama or Kye-ywar or ywa-nge in Burmese,and the bigger village or Ywar-gyi as janapad or zanapode in Burmese. Then Pu came from Puru or Pru of the Indian tribe. We would note as:-
Pu stands for Pru or Puru and gama stands for village or Ywar-nge.
We learned from history that the people of ancient Burma are struggling and regrouping. Perhaps Samuda-Raja or Thamudarij has founded a small quarter for the people at the very beginning.

These people must be Pru or Puru of the ancient
tribe of India gradually moving from Sindu Valley (Punjab) to modern Burma.
There are living evidence that proved that some of the
Chin tribal people are of the Puru or Pru stock as they still bear the family name
as Pu. There is a number of Chin national bearing “Pu” as their Sir
name or family name. To avoid some criticism we would not mention their full
names. But the readers may find them by
visiting the following websites.
Some of the picture to view if they, the Chin are indeed
same or similar to Burman people.

Their tradition and customs are also very similar to
Burman or Bamar as they are the descendants of the same tribal origin. One of
the same tradition Taw Sein Ko highlighted as
Thabye ' (Eugenia)
The sacred tree among the Chins
is ' Subri,' called' Sabre ' or ' Thabye ' (Eugenia) by the Burmese, who hold it
equally sacred and make use of its leaves in all domestic, State and religious
ceremonies.

The most striking resemblance as embodied
in the Dhammathats, (Burmese law-book,) is the pecuniary compensation exacted
for all sorts of crime. Even for man- slaughter, no life must be taken, the
penalty of not paying a fine being slavery. (Taw Sein Ko:1913:pp;22)
Origin
According
to most of the historians the Puru were also living in the Sindu Valley,
Punjab, North-western India. Out of numerous texts available we would include
that of Buddha Prakesh.
Purushini River
or Iravati River or River
Ravi {Native country of Puru or Pru or Pyu}
The former names of Ravi river are Purushni and Iravati (In northwestern India)
One scholar, Buddha Prakash,
Professor of History and of Ancient Indian History, Culture and Archaeology,
Director of the Institute of Indic Studies (1964); in his book Political and
Social Movement in Ancient Punjab states: mentioned that
The Purus settled between the Asikni and the Parusni, whence they launched their onslaught on the Bharatas, and after the initial rebuff in the Dasarajna War, soon regrouped and resumed their march on the Yamuna and the Sarasvati and subsequently merged with the Bharatas, Some of their off-shoots lingered on in the Punjab and one of their scions played a notable part in the events of the time at Alexander's invitation. They probably survived in the Punjab under the name of Puri, which is a sub-caste of the Kshatriyas.[6] {Ksettria or warrior clan }”
