OFFICE OF THE KUKI NATIONAL ASSEMBLY NORTH EAST INDIA*
GRACE COTTAGE, PAITE VENG-IMPHAL
PRESS RELEASE
Imphal the 24th April 1991
The joint public leaders of Kuki communities of Manipur condemned the resolution taken by the State Government for recommendation of "ANY KUKI TRIBE" in the Scheduled Tribe list of Manipur.
Kuki leaders of various tribes such as Thadou, Kom, Zou, Vaiphei, Paite, Gangte, and Simte came to know that the State Government has already approved for recommendation of "ANY KUKI TRIBE" in The Scheduled Tribe list of Manipur, and viewed it as a wrong decision taken by the Government without giving any chance of consultation to the communities are going to be involved. It is viewed as a move to bring disintegration and disorder among the non-Naga communities of Manipur tribals.
Since 'KUKI' is a generic term applied to the various non-Naga tribes of Manipur no tribe can exclusively exist as the Kuki tribe. The Kuki as such has no distinctive culture, language, social tradition etc. It is not at all a living tribe and cannot be recognised as a tribe. It can be retained as the common name for Kuki communities just like the Nagas do accept NAGA as their common nomenclature.
We therefore demand immediate review of the State Government's decision for recommendation of "ANY KUKI TRIBE" in The Scheduled Tribe list of Manipur in public interest and for the end of justice.
