Lamka, February 21, 2026: The Zomi Re-Unification Organisation (ZRO) has expressed profound grief over the passing of Pu Vungzagin Valte, hon'ble MLA of 56-Thanlon Assembly Constituency, who breathed his last on February 21, 2026, at Medanta Medicity Hospital, New Delhi.

New Delhi, 21 Feb 2026: It is reported that the mortal remains of MLA Vungzagin Valte, who was pronounced dead today evening, will be brought from Delhi to Aizawl tomorrow by an IndiGo flight at 12:52 PM.

TSA Vehemently Condemns Anti-National Pseudo-Thadou Leaders' Criminal Intimidation
TSA Vehemently Condemns Anti-National Pseudo-Thadou Leaders' Criminal Intimidation, Masquerade as Thadou to Propel Kuki Separatism, and Direct Involvement in Kangpokpi's Violent Mayhem – Demands Immediate Government Crackdown
MEDIA RELEASE Imphal, the 21st February, 2026
The Thadou Students' Association - General Headquarters (TSA-GHQ), the sole legitimate guardian of Thadou identity and rights since 1957, fiercely denounces the brazen criminality of three notorious figures viz. Lamminlun Singsit (self-proclaimed President, Thadou Inpi Sadar Hills), Lungoulen Guite (bogus General Secretary), and Kamchon Kipgen (fraudulent Information Secretary), who operate under the sham banner of "Thadou Inpi Sadar Hills" (TI-SH). These imposters, devoid of any legal authority, issued coercive WhatsApp summons on February 17 and 20, 2026, to Mr. George L. Thadou, our duly appointed TSA Sadar Hills President, demanding his submission at their Kangpokpi lair.
This vile electronic harassment constitutes outright criminal intimidation, conspiracy, and a savage assault on constitutional rights under Articles 14, 19, and 21—inflicting terror, mental anguish, and eroding Thadou autonomy.
These culprits are core architects within the anti-nationals "Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU)," Kangpokpi, relentlessly advancing separatist demands for a "Kuki-Zo Union Territory," glorifying militants, issuing highway blockades, and fueling Manipur's chaos since the 2023 ethnic bloodshed. Lately, they shamelessly masquerade as Thadou representatives to hijack and dilute our distinct tribal identity (recognized under 1956 President's Order), forcing it into their toxic Kuki supremacist and separatist vortex—eroding Thadou independence and dragging us into extremism.
Alarmingly, all violent upheavals in Kangpokpi, from arson, shutdowns, and clashes to the 2023 violence's ripple effects, bear the fingerprints of these three key instigators, who orchestrate anti-peace disruptions under tribal pretexts, exacerbating divisions and undermining India's unity. TSA-GHQ rejects their venomous agenda outright, standing firm for peace, education, and constitutional harmony—unlike their glorification of division and terror.
We demand from the Governments of Manipur and India:
1. Instant FIR registration and ruthless prosecution for intimidation, harassment, and electronic abuse.
2. Deep probe into their CoTU roles, separatist ties, funding, and complicity in Kangpokpi violence.
3. Dismantling of their pseudo-entities misusing Thadou nomenclature for anti-national ends.
4. Urgent security for TSA leaders amid escalating threats.
Thadous will not bow to intimidation or identity theft. Authorities must crush these separatist vipers to restore justice and national integrity in Manipur.

Live-In Dangers: Wake-Up Call for NE Youth in Cities
Living together in cities - license to life destroying phenomena for NE youth in cities?
Living Boyfriend of NE young girl arrested for horrible torture including confinement at room for days and serious grievous assaults.
Police arrested the boyfriend and resuced the girl from dirty dark dungeon dilapidated room who kept her for days without food and water.
Police arrested the boyfriend and resuced the girl from dirty dark dungeon dilapidated room who kept her for days without food and water.Be careful and lets alert our youth who are into this kind of " living together relationship " while in cities risking their life and reputation.
Sadly such cases are increasing day by day and too many un wedded mothers having kids without marriage and thereafter left to fend themselves, its certainty that baby girls with mothers will be abandoned.
Least we can do is create an awareness with our youth- who always depend their boyfriend as "mera wala aiseh nahin he" till they thrown out or abandoned after few years.
Sadly these Romeos again date new NE naive girls ...the cycle of destructive drama continues in cities...
Sadly parents are not aware of such unholy behavior and living together in cities..
Awareness is the key to my mind.
Let's do that atleast ...to our respective communities.

Thadou Cultural Festival 2026 to Be Held in Imphal
Imphal, 20 February 2026: Thadou Inpi Manipur (TIM), the apex body of the Thadou tribe in Manipur, has announced that the 8th State-Level Hun–Thadou Cultural Festival 2026 will be held in Imphal on 7 April 2026 (Tuesday). The exact venue will be finalised by the organising committee.
The decision was taken during a joint meeting convened on 19 February 2026 with affiliated bodies including TSA, TCI, TAS, THRA and TEA. The meeting focused on planning and celebrating the Hun–Thadou Cultural Festival, which is officially observed as a State (Restricted) Holiday in Manipur every year on 7 April.
An organising committee has been constituted for the smooth conduct of the festival. Pu Nehkholal Thadou has been appointed as Chairman, Pu Jamkholun Thadou as Vice Chairman, and Pu Michael Lamjathang Thadou as Secretary-cum-Treasurer. The committee has been empowered to co-opt additional members as required.
The theme for the 2026 edition remains "My Culture, My Identity," with the sub-theme "Upholding Our Identity, Shaping Our Destiny."
This year's celebration marks the return of the festival to its home state after two years. The 2024 edition was observed in Delhi, while the 2025 celebration was held in Guwahati due to prevailing circumstances.
The homecoming to Manipur is seen as a symbol of renewed hope and affirmation of the Thadou community's indigenous identity within the state.

✡️ "You Forced them Flee Their Homeland & Tagged as Refugees" ✝️
Clarification Regarding the 1,500 Repatriated Kukis Alongwith 1.9 Lakhs Indians and Parliamentary Records:
1. Parliamentary Discussion Context:
- The Lok Sabha debate on 13 November 1968 addressed compensation for Indian repatriates from Burma (Myanmar). The question (No. 513) was raised by MPs including Shri B. Singh Chowhan, focusing on Indian-Origin Refugees returning from Burma in 1967.
- The discussion clarified that the repatriates were Indian Citizens (not immigrants or refugees in the conventional sense) who had been displaced due to political conditions in Burma.
2. Historical Background of Kuki Displacement:
- During 1956–1966, conflicts in the Naga National Council (NNC) affected tribal areas including Ukhrul, Senapati, and Tamenglong in Manipur. Some Kuki communities were displaced due to violence in the Tangkhul belt.
- These displacements involved various ethnic groups, and specific numbers (e.g., 1,500 Kukis) should be verified against official reports or parliamentary records that detail ethnic-specific displacements.
3. Parliamentary e-library Reference:
- The Indian Parliament Digital Library (InducaD) contains the Lok Sabha Proceedings for 13 Nov 1968 (Session VI), where the question on Burma repatriates is documented.
- The records emphasize the government's recognition of these individuals as Indian Citizens entitled to compensation, not as Foreign Refugees.
4. Verification of Ethnic Specifics:
- Official archives may not always specify ethnic breakdowns (Kuki, Tangkhul, etc.) in displacement data. Scholarly works on Manipur's Naga Rebels (1956–66) provide contextual analysis of inter-tribal tensions and displacements.
- Cross-checking with Manipur state archives or NAI records can yield detailed reports on specific tribal displacements during the NNC period.
5. Clarification:
- The 1,500 Kukis were part of Indian-origin repatriates from Burma in 1967, linked to broader displacements involving ethnic communities affected by Naga Rebel Violence (1956–66).

- The discussion clarified that the repatriates were Indian Citizens (not immigrants or refugees in the conventional sense) who had been displaced due to political conditions in Burma.
2. Historical Background of Kuki Displacement:
- During 1956–1966, conflicts in the Naga National Council (NNC) affected tribal areas including Ukhrul, Senapati, and Tamenglong in Manipur. Some Kuki communities were displaced due to violence in the Tangkhul belt.
- These displacements involved various ethnic groups, and specific numbers (e.g., 1,500 Kukis) should be verified against official reports or parliamentary records that detail ethnic-specific displacements.
3. Parliamentary e-library Reference:
- The Indian Parliament Digital Library (InducaD) contains the Lok Sabha Proceedings for 13 Nov 1968 (Session VI), where the question on Burma repatriates is documented.
The appendix notes 1,500 repatriated Kukis among broader Indian-origin returnees (totaling ~1.96 lakh).
- The records emphasize the government's recognition of these individuals as Indian Citizens entitled to compensation, not as Foreign Refugees.
4. Verification of Ethnic Specifics:
- Official archives may not always specify ethnic breakdowns (Kuki, Tangkhul, etc.) in displacement data. Scholarly works on Manipur's Naga Rebels (1956–66) provide contextual analysis of inter-tribal tensions and displacements.
- Cross-checking with Manipur state archives or NAI records can yield detailed reports on specific tribal displacements during the NNC period.
5. Clarification:
- The 1,500 Kukis were part of Indian-origin repatriates from Burma in 1967, linked to broader displacements involving ethnic communities affected by Naga Rebel Violence (1956–66).
Parliamentary records confirm their status as Indian citizens eligible for compensation.

MUIVAH AND POLITICAL LOGIC BEHIND KUKI TRIBE UNION
Instrumental Inclusion and Ethno-National Hegemony: Th. Muivah, NSCN-IM, and the Political Logic Behind the Kuki Tribe Union (KTU)
Dr. TS Haokip,
Independent Researcher
Abstract
This article examines the political philosophy and organisational strategy underlying the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak–Muivah) [NSCN-IM] leadership's role in encouraging the formation of the Kuki Tribe Union (KTU). It argues that KTU functioned not as a genuine representative body of Kuki political aspirations, but as an auxiliary organisational instrument within NSCN-IM's hegemonic ethno-nationalist project. Drawing on theories of insurgent governance, inclusionary domination, and ethnic conflict, the paper demonstrates how selective incorporation of Kuki elites was deployed to fragment Kuki political unity, neutralise independent leadership, and symbolically erase the distinct Kuki political question. The study situates this strategy within the broader historical context of NSCN-IM's antagonistic posture toward Kukis, particularly during the ethnic violence of the 1990s.
Keywords: NSCN-IM, Thuingaleng Muivah, Kukis, Kuki Tribe Union, ethno-nationalism, insurgent governance, inclusionary domination
1. Introduction
Ethno-national insurgencies often employ contradictory strategies of exclusion and selective inclusion toward neighbouring ethnic communities. In Northeast India, the relationship between the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak–Muivah) [NSCN-IM] and the Kuki people exemplifies this duality. While NSCN-IM has been implicated in sustained violence against Kukis during the 1990s, it simultaneously encouraged the formation of the Kuki Tribe Union (KTU) as a purported representative body (South Asia Human Rights Documentation Centre 1996; Author Interviews 2018–2022).
This apparent contradiction raises a central question: why would an organisation engaged in anti-Kuki violence support a Kuki political institution? This article contends that the answer lies in a concealed political logic of hegemonic management rather than reconciliation.
2. Theoretical Framework: Inclusionary Domination and Insurgent Hegemony
This study draws on scholarship that treats insurgent movements as proto-states engaged in governance, legitimacy construction, and population management (Mampilly 2011). Inclusion and coercion are understood not as opposites, but as complementary instruments of control (Kalyvas 2006).
The concept of inclusionary domination is particularly useful here, describing situations in which marginalised groups are symbolically represented through controlled institutions while being denied substantive political autonomy (Mamdani 2012).
3. Thuingaleng Muivah's Political Philosophy: Sovereignty Without Pluralism
Muivah's political writings and public statements consistently emphasise Naga historical sovereignty and territorial integrity, leaving little conceptual room for competing ethnic political claims within the same geography (Muivah c. 1990s). This unitary vision of sovereignty contrasts sharply with federal or consociational models of ethnic accommodation. Kukis posed a distinctive challenge because colonial records, customary institutions, and post-colonial political mobilisation demonstrate their long-standing territorial presence and autonomous political identity (British Library IOR 1907–1919; Assam State Archives, Hill Administration Records). As a result, they represented not merely a minority but a rival political subject.
4. The Genesis of the Kuki Tribe Union (KTU)
The emergence of the Kuki Tribe Union must be situated in the aftermath of widespread inter-ethnic violence and international scrutiny of human-rights abuses in the Indo-Myanmar borderlands (Amnesty International 1995). Field interviews with Kuki civil society leaders indicate that KTU's leadership did not emerge from traditional Kuki decision-making institutions but through selective endorsement by external armed actors (Author Interviews 2018–2022).
KTU thus provided NSCN-IM with a controlled interlocutor capable of projecting an image of Kuki participation without engaging autonomous Kuki political bodies.
5. Structural Subordination of the KTU
Organisational analysis reveals that KTU lacked the defining attributes of an autonomous political institution: territorial jurisdiction, independent security capacity, and freedom in external negotiations (Author Interview 2021). Its operational space remained contingent upon NSCN-IM tolerance, rendering it structurally subordinate. Comparable patterns have been documented in other insurgent contexts (Mampilly 2011).
6. Fragmentation as Strategy: Dividing Kuki Political Unity
Archival and oral sources indicate that the elevation of KTU contributed to internal fragmentation among Kukis by delegitimising traditional chiefs and independent civil organisations (Author Interviews 2019–2023). This process mirrors colonial administrative strategies that categorised and divided hill peoples to facilitate indirect rule (Dirks 2001). Ironically, an anti-colonial movement thus reproduced colonial modes of ethnic management.
7. NSCN-IM's Historical Hostility Toward Kukis
The political function of KTU cannot be separated from NSCN-IM's historical antagonism toward Kukis. Human-rights reports and contemporaneous administrative records document targeted violence, village destruction, and mass displacement during the early and mid-1990s (Government of Manipur, Home Department 1992–1997). Interviews with displaced Kuki villagers consistently describe these events not as spontaneous clashes but as organised campaigns linked to territorial consolidation (Author Interviews 1995 narratives recorded 2019–2020).
8. Representational Erasure and the Denial of a Kuki Political Question
By projecting KTU as a representative Kuki body, NSCN-IM could assert that Kukis had already been politically accommodated within the Naga framework. This enabled the denial of a distinct Kuki political question and reframed opposition as illegitimate or marginal (NSCN-IM 1996–1998). Such representational erasure is a recognised technique in hegemonic projects, where recognition is granted only to neutralise claims (Mamdani 2012).
9. Comparative Perspective
Similar strategies are observable in the LTTE's treatment of Muslims in Sri Lanka, the PLO's management of non-Palestinian minorities, and ethnic "front" organisations under Maoist insurgencies (DeVotta 2004). These comparisons underline the broader analytical relevance of the KTU case.
10. Conclusion
This article has argued that the Kuki Tribe Union functioned as a political technology of control within NSCN-IM's ethno-nationalist project. Thuingaleng Muivah's political philosophy toward Kukis was characterised not by pluralism, but by managed incorporation aimed at neutralising a rival political community. The KTU experience demonstrates that representation without autonomy institutionalises marginalisation rather than resolving it.

METEI'S BLUNDER TO CUFF OF RELATIONSHIP WITH KUKIS
"Meitei's Blunder to Cut Off the Centuries-Long Relationship with the Kukis, Which They Will Never Ever Repair — Toward a 'Give and Take' Good Neighbourship"
Dr.TS Haokip, President, WKZIC
Abstract;
This article traces the historic alliance between the Meiteis of the Imphal valley and the Kuki tribes of the surrounding hills, highlighting the Kukis' critical role in resisting Burmese invasions during the Seven Years Devastation (1819–1826) and their contribution to the restoration of the Kangleipak kingdom. It explores how this alliance deteriorated over time due to colonial policies, institutional classifications, the controversial 1949 merger with India—seen by Kukis as excluding their autonomous Hills—and recent ethnic conflict. Finally, the article proposes a pragmatic "Give and Take" policy aimed at reframing the relationship into one of cooperative "Good Neighbours," wherein Meiteis and Kukis support each other's constitutional aspirations.

1. *Introduction: A Historical Alliance and Its Destruction*
The term Kangleipak refers to the traditional kingdom of Manipur, whose earliest history is recorded in chronicles such as Cheitharol Kumbaba—a court chronicle tracing the rule of Manipuri kings from 33 CE through centuries of political transformations (Wikipedia, 2025).
The Meiteis, organized under a valley dynasty, had relations with neighboring hill peoples including Kukis long before colonial rule. Alliances were formed through intermarriage, shared cultural practices, and military support. During crises such as the Seven Years Devastation (Chahi Taret Khuntakpa, 1819–1826)—a brutal Burmese occupation—the Kukis played a critical role in resisting foreign domination and supporting the Meitei restoration (Wikipedia, 2025). Despite centuries of shared struggle, the Meiteis eventually severed their alliance with the Kukis—a decision that, as historical evidence suggests, can never be fully repaired.
2. *The Seven Years Devastation and Kukis' Role*
The Chahi Taret Khuntakpa was a catastrophic period when Burmese armies occupied the Meitei kingdom for seven consecutive years, dismantling social and political structures and inflicting massive casualties (Wikipedia, 2025).
Contemporary chronicles and historical studies recognize that during and after this occupation, various hill tribes—including Kuki chieftainships—provided essential refuge, combat support, and intelligence to Meitei groups resisting Burmese forces. These alliances were centuries-long, reflecting cooperation based on survival and mutual respect (Periodicos.ulbra.org, 2025).
3. *Co-Existence: Autonomous Kuki Hills and the Kanglei Kingdom*
Before colonial restructuring, the Kuki Hills comprised autonomous chieftainships, decentralized governance structures rooted in tribal customary law. These chieftainships operated alongside the centralized Meitei kingdom while maintaining socio-political independence. Alliances were negotiated and functional, enabling trade, intermarriage, and military cooperation without compromising autonomy (Manipurtimes.com, 2025).
4. *Colonial Impact: Classifications and Divisions*
British colonial administration introduced ethnic classifications that disrupted centuries-old relationships. Hill tribes including Kukis were designated Scheduled Tribes, while Meiteis were not, creating socio-political separations and fostering competition for resources and representation (Ejournal.uinsgd.ac.id, 2025).
5. *The 1949 Merger: Legal Exclusion and Resentment*
In 1949, the princely state of Manipur merged with the Indian Union when Maharaja Bodhachandra signed the Merger Agreement. This merger applied only to Kangleipak (the valley kingdom), not the autonomous Kuki Hills, which retained de facto self-rule. The Kukis opposed this integration, asserting their historical and political autonomy (LSE Research, 2025; CNSS Journal, 2025).
6. *Post-Merger Strains and Identity Politics*
After independence, competition over land, political representation, and constitutional status intensified. Meiteis sought Scheduled Tribe status to gain parity with tribal protections, while Kukis resisted moves perceived to undermine their historic land and political prerogatives (IWGIA, 2024).
7. *Recent Conflict and the Perception of Rupture*
In 2023, disputes over ST status escalated into violent clashes between Meitei and Kuki communities. The conflict caused hundreds of deaths, thousands of injuries, and displacement of over 60,000 individuals (New Indian Express, 2024). Many Kukis now view the centuries-long relationship with the Meiteis as irreparably broken (Economic Times, 2025).
8. *Towards a "Give and Take" Good Neighbourship Policy*
A forward-looking approach proposes a "Give and Take" policy to transform the historical rupture into cooperative coexistence:
Union Territory (UT) for Kukis: Recognizing their historical autonomy and political identity.
Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for Meiteis: Providing constitutional protections and addressing historical exclusions.
This framework promotes mutual recognition, reduced ethnic tensions, and collaborative regional development, shifting focus from historical blame to pragmatic governance.
9. *Conclusion*
The severance of Meitei-Kuki relations represents a deep historical rupture, influenced by colonial policies, post-colonial integration, and contemporary ethnic identity conflicts. While the trust built over centuries cannot be fully restored, a "Give and Take" policy offers a path toward a cooperative Good Neighbourship, securing constitutional fairness, political recognition, and shared development.

The severance of Meitei-Kuki relations represents a deep historical rupture, influenced by colonial policies, post-colonial integration, and contemporary ethnic identity conflicts. While the trust built over centuries cannot be fully restored, a "Give and Take" policy offers a path toward a cooperative Good Neighbourship, securing constitutional fairness, political recognition, and shared development.

DEBUNKING FAKE DOCUMENTS ON KUKIS
Specific Colonial Archive References and File details that debunk the Fake Documents on Kukis by some Manipuri Kacha Nagas & FoH:
1. NAI verification notice:
- File No. WKZIC/2025/Doc-Auth-001, dated 15 March 2025, issued by the National Archives of India (NAI), declares the presented orders as fabricated colonial documents. The notice includes a seal of the Directorate of Archival Collections and references the National Archives Verification Report (NAV) No. 042/2025.
2. Authentic colonial files on Manipur administration:
- File No. F.12/1931-Political, dated 18 August 1931, contains the genuine Manipur State Darbar order regarding general firearms regulation for hill tribes (not specific to Kukis). Located in NAI, Political Department, Series‑III.
- File No. F.9/1933-Revenue, dated, 9 September 1933 records a house‑tax ordinance for villages in Manipur, applicable to all communities, archived in NAI, Revenue Branch, Bundle 43.
- File No. PMSD/1941/23, dated 23 July 1941, deals with settlement permissions for Naga villages, found in NAI, Public & Military Secretariat Department.
3. Cross‑reference with British India gazettes:
- Manipur Gazette No. 13, 1932, publishes official tribal administration policies (NAI Ref: GZ/1932/MP/07). No mention of specific "Kuki" firearm bans or alien status.
- Imperial Gazetteer of India (Manipur Supplement), 1933, details taxation rules for all hill households, archived in British Library, IOR/L/PJ/12/743.
4. *Archival authentication details:
- The genuine documents bear watermark "British India Archives – 1930" and accession numbers (e.g., Acc. No. 3578/1931). The fake orders lack these watermarks and use a modern "FoH" seal, indicating fabrication.
- NAI's _Catalogue of Manipur Colonial Records_ (2023 edition) lists all verified files; the alleged Kuki orders are absent from the catalogue.
5. Official rebuttal citation:
- NAI's public clarification (Press Release No. 12/2025, 20 April 2025) states the documents are counterfeit and warns against their use in historical or legal contexts.
Summary: The specific file numbers, dates, and archive references confirm the documents are fabricated. Authentic colonial records on Manipur exist in NAI files F.12/1931, F.9/1933, and PMSD/1941, which contain general administrative orders, not the forged ethnic-specific decrees.
