NAGA KUKI ETCHNIC WAR

In the mid 19th century,the state of Chin Hills in Burma was mostly inhibited by several tribes consisting of the Paites, Suhte,Simte, Gangte,Zou,Buon,Matu,Poit,Haokip,Lusong,Vaiphei,Hmarand others. In the year 1850 when Pumzamang was the king of Chin Hills,Haokips waged a war against the Paites and defeated them.Then after a while, they waged another war against the Suhtes,but in that war the Paites and the Suhtes formed an alliance and defeated the Haokips. The two tribes relentlessly pursued and drove the Haokips beyond the Burma border into the state of Manipur. This was how the Kukis reached the land of the Zeliangrong in 1855.On their arrival they requested the Zeliangrong people to permit them to dwell in the Zeliangrong territory for which they promised to pay land tax to the village.They were granted permission and in gratitude they slaughtered cattle and pigs and treated the landlords.Thus the Kukis began to find foothold in the Zeliangrong land. But soon afterwards,the Kukis turned to fight the British;they sought help from the Zeliangrong people especially to transport their luggage.The Zeliangrong declined and refused to help them.So instead of fighting the British they turned out against the zeliangrong people,taking them completely unware. And that was how the Kukis began to wage war against the Zeliangrong people in the year 1917.The war was called the Tingtong rih or Haokip rih (Tingtong –the name of Kuki king).The number of Zeliangrong people slaughtered was 999(as in official record) but the number of death in unofficial record is 1081. Sadly the notoriety of the Kukis will remain etched in the memory of the Zeliangrongs for ages to come,not just for massacre of the innocent people but even more for the inhumane and odious crimes committed that were utterly depraved and savage.After killing the people,the heads were taken,intestines and the women’s private parts-vagina and breast were cut,and carried from Makoi to Namtiram. And in Namtiram,the hunted heads of all the men,women,boys and girls were lined up in separate rows where they performed their victory dance over the death Nagas. After that the intestines were stretched and strung like ropes along the pathway from Namtiram to Phelong,the female private parts-vagina and breasts were posted on poles along the footpath. This Infamous journey of the Kukis started from Makoi to Namtiram, Phelong,Ningjam, Chongchin and to Zoupi and it was in Zoupi where their final celebration for their victory was celebrated. The Kukis and the Nagas have been living in conflict over the years.During the Kuki-Naga conflict in the 1990s both side had witnessed a great loss of lives and hardship.
