Certain communities in the state of Manipur started inventing the term "Refugee" upon ethnic Kukis since early 1990s, and spreaded it to the majority Meiteis, who also began to tag Kukis as refugees, resulting in the "Meitei -Kuki Conflict" on the 3rd May 2023, rendering 225 innocent Kukis killed, 200 Kuki villages burnt down into ashes, 259 Kuki-Zo Churches out of 365 vandalised and burnt, with about 50,000 Kukis displaced in designated Relief Camps and another about 59,000 displaced in various metro cities and neighbouring States.
