Author(s): T Khaikhogin Chongthu
Abstract: Historians have taken up the study of various types of resistance movements and rebellions against the British Raj, since this new tendency in historical inquiry has added a new dimension to understanding the nature of interaction between the British administration and its people. This paper discusses the anti-Imperialist struggle led by the Kuki tribes of Northeast India. The term ‘Kuki’ is a generic term covering a large number of tribes whose unique identity is based on their common culture, customs and traditions, linguistic affinity and method of cultivation. The conflict with the British had its origins in the clash between traditional and contemporary governmental mechanisms, as well as the colonial encounter with the self-governing Kuki tribes. It examined the different circumstances that led to the fight against British control, as well as the socio-political impact the conflict had on the Kuki Tribes during and after colonialism.
