The Mizo movement in the 1960s witnessed a remarkable show of solidarity from your brethren, the Kukis in Manipur, with over 300 brave men and women joining the MNF movement. Tragically, over 80 Kukis sacrificed their lives for the state of Mizoram. In addition, more than 10 Kuki villages were burnt to ashes during the movement.
More than 30 years have passed since Mizoram was granted statehood, yet the Mizoram government has regrettably forgotten the freedom fighters who joined the movement, the martyrs, and the homes reduced to ashes - specially their brethren Kukis from Manipur.
The very foundation of Mizoram was also built upon the blood of your brethen Kuki from Manipur. So today, my Mizo brothers, should not try to put the Kuki people under the term 'Zo', a derivative of 'Mizo'. This dirty political maneuver threatens to erase our ancestral legacy, the British map of Kuki Country.
As the colonial British recognized the tribals in northeast India, western Myanmar, and the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh as Kukis in 1720s, the United Nations also acknowledged the Kuki nation and the British map of Kuki country since 1904.
We are brothers in blood and in Christ. Let us not fight for supremacy between brothers, but love each other and unite under the banner of Kuki. Together, we can reclaim and restore our rightful heritage - the highly anticipated Kuki country.
Yours in sisterhood
