The term Kukis are numerous tribes inhabiting most of the North Eastern parts of India’s such as states of Assam (Karbi Anglong, Dima Hasao and Karim Ganj) Mizoram Tripura, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.
There may be some one amongst them who are working for unhistorical but they are known as Kuki as per as the British recorded.
Citing an example of the the Kukis blood sacrificed ‘when the British in India Burma (Myanmar) and east Pakistan (Bangladesh) the Anglo-Kuki war of 1917-1919 broke out to drive out the colonial British ruled for more than three years
Did the any tribe in India resisted the colonial British for more than 3 years to attain complete Independence as the Kukis deed in India from the British where most of the Indian rulers were under Subsidiary Alliance, Zamindari and Ryotwari systems etc?
Then the question arises why the Kukis are being ignored by India’s Government inspite of their blood sacrificed towards India’s attainment for Purna Swaraj, the Kukis -their political unrest for them will not be satisfactory under Suspension of Operation (SoO)signed between Manipur Govt, Govt of India and Kuki National Organisation (KNO), United People’s Front (UPF) currently underway.
Special economic provision and separate department for(Game and Sport)will be the out comes of SoO political talks Solution without any delay.
The SoO tripartite political talk must cover where the Kukis are settlement in the North Eastern parts of India.
