MEMORANDUM

17th June, 2025.

To,

Shri. Narendra Modiji, Hon'ble Prime Minister of India.

&

Shri. Amit Shahji, Hon'ble Union Minister of Home Affairs, Government of India.

Subject: Earnest Appeal to Expediate KNO-UPF Talks with GoI and Prompt Declaration of Kuki-Zo UT with Legislature under Article 239 of the Indian Constitution.

Hon'ble Sir(s),

The undersigned, on behalf of the Thadou-Kuki speaking community, accounting to 55% of the total Kuki-Zo populations in the state with 24 Kuki-Chin recognised tribes of outer Manipur, have the honour to request you to announce Kukiland UT, the long cherished dream of the Kuki tribes, at the earliest which was demanded since 1947 during the Prime Ministership of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in the name of Kuki National Assembly (KNA)._

It is to state that more than 200 Thadou-Kuki tribesmen and other Kuki tribes participated in the Indian Freedom Movement in the Indian National Army (INA) under Netaji Subhash Chandra Boseduring 1942-1945. Government of India must know that the colonial British Imperial authorities have divided and fragmented the Kukis into Kuki-Chin-Mizo to suppress them during 1917-1919. The GoI further fragmented we the Kukis who were under ANY KUKI till 1951, now into 24 recognised tribes under 1956 SC/ST Modifications Act.

Rendering us into minority among minorities, for the greed of the land of the Kukis, various larger and stronger communities, time to time, launched aggressions upon the Kukis where 80-90 % of the victims belonged to the Thadou-Kuki speaking tribes in all these aggressions upon the Kukis. Government of India must look back into the History of India and Indian Independence Movement, where 3000 Naga Labours Corps, 2100 Lushai Labour Corps, 500 each Khasi & Garo Labour Corps etc went to France at the order of the colonial British authorities, who all were granted states by the Government of India in the independent era as Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya respectively, and neglecting the Kukis who defended India and confronted the colonial British forces for three (3) consecutive years (17th Oct. 1917- 8th Dec. 1919), resulting to the burning down of 126 Thadou-Kuki villages by the British Army alongwith various assets and livestocks during 1917-1919.

With regards,

Sd/- (Y.T HAOKIP)

 President, 

 Thadou Tribe Council (TTC)-GHQ.
