Official Statement
First Assam State Hun-Thadou Cultural Festival, 2025
*Guwahati, the 2nd April, 2025:* The Organizing Committee of the First Assam State Hun-Thadou Cultural Festival, 2025, is pleased to announce that preparations for this historic event are in full swing. The festival is scheduled to be held on April 4, 2025, in Guwahati, Assam, with the aim of celebrating and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Thadou tribe in Assam, particularly in Dima Hasao and Karbi Anglong.
Despite challenges posed by external elements attempting to disrupt the festival through coercion, intimidation, and misinformation, we stand resolute in our commitment to uphold and preserve the unique traditions of the Thadou community. We strongly condemn the unlawful actions of certain groups, including Kuki militant outfits and their frontal organizations like the Kuki Inpi Assam, which have attempted to undermine the significance of this event by issuing diktats, coercing Thadou leaders into signing forced declarations, and calling for a boycott of the festival.
We acknowledge and appreciate the government authorities for their timely intervention and commitment to ensuring the peaceful and successful conduct of the festival. We trust that necessary security measures will be in place to protect the rights of the Thadou people to celebrate their culture without fear or external interference.
The First Assam State Hun-Thadou Cultural Festival, 2025 is a celebration of identity, heritage, and unity, and we call upon all members of the Thadou community and well-wishers to stand together in solidarity. We urge everyone to reject divisive propaganda and come forward in support of our cultural resurgence.
With determination and collective strength, we will honor our Thadou heritage and ensure that the festival is a grand success. Let this be a significant milestone in reclaiming and preserving our cultural identity. Together, we will make the Thadou great again!
Statement: "Thadou is a distinct ethnic group of people. Thadou is not Kuki, or underneath Kuki, or part of Kuki, but a separate, independent entity from Kuki. Any organization that incorporates "Thadou" but espouses Kuki and mis-portrays Thadou as Kuki or a part of Kuki is illegitimate and does not represent Thadou people and interest" – Thadou Convention, 2024.
