Clarification Regarding the 1,500 Repatriated Kukis Alongwith 1.9 Lakhs Indians and Parliamentary Records:
1. Parliamentary Discussion Context:
- The Lok Sabha debate on 13 November 1968 addressed compensation for Indian repatriates from Burma (Myanmar). The question (No. 513) was raised by MPs including Shri B. Singh Chowhan, focusing on Indian-Origin Refugees returning from Burma in 1967.
- The discussion clarified that the repatriates were Indian Citizens (not immigrants or refugees in the conventional sense) who had been displaced due to political conditions in Burma.
2. Historical Background of Kuki Displacement:
- During 1956–1966, conflicts in the Naga National Council (NNC) affected tribal areas including Ukhrul, Senapati, and Tamenglong in Manipur. Some Kuki communities were displaced due to violence in the Tangkhul belt.
- These displacements involved various ethnic groups, and specific numbers (e.g., 1,500 Kukis) should be verified against official reports or parliamentary records that detail ethnic-specific displacements.
3. Parliamentary e-library Reference:
- The Indian Parliament Digital Library (InducaD) contains the Lok Sabha Proceedings for 13 Nov 1968 (Session VI), where the question on Burma repatriates is documented.
- The records emphasize the government's recognition of these individuals as Indian Citizens entitled to compensation, not as Foreign Refugees.
4. Verification of Ethnic Specifics:
- Official archives may not always specify ethnic breakdowns (Kuki, Tangkhul, etc.) in displacement data. Scholarly works on Manipur's Naga Rebels (1956–66) provide contextual analysis of inter-tribal tensions and displacements.
- Cross-checking with Manipur state archives or NAI records can yield detailed reports on specific tribal displacements during the NNC period.
5. Clarification:
- The 1,500 Kukis were part of Indian-origin repatriates from Burma in 1967, linked to broader displacements involving ethnic communities affected by Naga Rebel Violence (1956–66).
