=Hsawnghsup =
(Burmese, Thaiingduf). — Shan State within the limits
of the Upper Chindwin District, Upper Burma, over which the Deputy-
Commissioner of that District exercises a certain control. It lies almost
wholly to the west of the Irrawaddy, between 24° 5' and 24° 56'' N. and
94° 22' and 94° 43' E. On the north it is bounded by the Homalin
township ; on the west by jNIanipur ; and on the east and south by the
townships of Paungbyin and Tamu. The main hill system of the Upper
Chindwin District commences in the extreme north of the State, and
covers the greater portion of it ; between this range and Manipur is the
upper end of the Kabaw valley, in which the old capital of Thaungdut
is situated. A few hamlets lie in this valley, but otherwise the popula-
tion of the State is confined almost entirely to the villages on the
Chindwin, one of which is the cajiital, Thaungdut (population, 868).

The rest of the country is dense forest. Previous to annexation
Hsawnghsup had been a vassal State of Burma, and the Savvbwa ruling
in 1886 was friendly to the British, and remained loyal throughout the
A\'untho rebellion, although related to the A\\mtho Sawbwa. The area
of the State is about 579 square miles, and the population (estimated at
6,200 in 1897) was found to be 7,471 in 1901. Of this total, 57 per cent.
are Shans, 35 per cent. Burmans, and the remainder Chins, the whole
being distributed in 84 villages. Under the Sawbwa are niyo-oks in
charge of townships, who are responsible for the revenue, civil, and
criminal administration of their charges. Regular taxes were first
imposed in 1890, and under the present Sawbwa thathameda is levied
at Rs. 10 per household. There are no other taxes. The revenue
amounts to about Rs. 8,000, Rs. 400 being payable as tribute to the
British Government. Order is kept by a force of about 30 police, armed
with guns and das. There is a small export of paddy.
