A 'War of Independence' that India Forgot: Kukis Rose Up Against The British in 1917
The 1917-’19 Anglo-Kuki war was the one of the biggest uprisings by the tribe against the colonial power.

The British Empire 🇬🇧 was huge in 1917, with huge power and resources. Yet the British could not contain a small hill tribe community in North East Indian. This is why the Kuki Rising 1917-19 has massive historical significance. The present GOI should learn from history.
This is the objectification and racial profiling Kuki Zo women are dealing with!
Where the Meitei community mock our women and the India Army. (Assam Rifles)
Happy 75 year Republic day India 🇮🇳
We witnessed something very special.
A collective cathartic experience delayed for several months.
Our human spirit triumphed over evil.
Our loved ones returned to their ancestral home.
The fear of death banished by witnessing the perfect ascent to heaven.
The eternal light.🕯️
This guy thinks his people are ‘tribal’ because they behead kuki’s. Now this!
You will never be a tribal.
Tribals have honour and dignity.
Meitei intellectual Goon= Meitei Goon = Meitei rapist.
Every Kuki_Zo heart is aching today.
Eyes are glazed, teeth are clenched in anger.
We knew it happened, we knew this day would come.
The world will condemn and move on.
We will not forget because that was our sister, mother, girlfriend, niece, cousin.
The Meitei’s are scared to get rid of Biren, because they know they have been duped by his failed project. The house of cards is crumbling. They went for expansion, motivated by greed, but ended up with something smaller and damaged. 700 sq km and a rainbow flag.
My kuki kids say the Lord’s Prayer every night before they go to sleep. 🙏🏼
These people have lost their morality and soul. I pity their shallow existence in this life.
The video of a Meitei mob parading two kuki girls naked, ready to rape in a field is abhorrent. I actually feel sick to the core. Meitei society and government is finished.
A few Meitei’s who don’t like a ‘Brit’ commenting on their campaign of terror inflicted on the Kuki’s should take a day off twitter and visit Imphal War Cemetery to see the young Brits who gave their lives for Imphal in 1944. They could be speaking Japanese now. 🇬🇧
Khuraijam Athouba had his mic turned off at the UN Human rights meet for lies.
Licypriya Kangujam has been kicked out of COP23 for an unscheduled protest.
Meitei embarrassing themselves on the world stage.
Entitlement is not universally accepted outside 700 km sq.
This is what happens when Modi media hits rock bottom, and you have an 11 year olds as your only mouthpiece.
The BJP paid media moguls are trying so hard it’s embarrassing.

So Biren is boasting about arresting a 9 and 11 year old? Something is seriously wrong with Manipur’s judicial system! Meitei killers roam free in Imphal. Known terrorists are allowed to to spread vile hatred and propaganda in public rallies!
The question is how will a 9years old and 11 years old be involved in the murder of two meitei lovebird who run away from their tution center? CBI can arrest 6 kuki-zo without any prior information but they cannot arrest 40+ meitei who are involve in raping our sisters.

Women from North East Support Network and many others in individual capacities took to the streets in London marching in silence symbolising the silent suffering of the two Kuki women in Manipur.

Despite using these, I never noticed a house fire on all my visits to Imphal. However the Imphal press report a lot of ‘electrical short circuits’ as a cause of fires at Kuki Zo properties these days?
I am sure there is an innocent explanation?

A young tribal kid i photographed in one of the villages in 2016.
I wonder what has become of her in this conflict ?
She would only be about 9 or 10 now I expect?
The displacement of women and children is the biggest tragedy of the Manipur crisis.

The man who gave patronage to these rapists and militant Meitei radicals. “I felt so bad, it’s a crime against humanity” on your watch, and in your name Biren. This guy has no shame. 🤬

The suspension of Head Constable Siamlalpaul is an outrageous act of discrimination against the Kukis. The rampant misuse of state mechanism by the Manipur state government is against any constitutional provision and must be duly addressed. The Manipur State that has
The whole world has condemned the Manipur viral video rape.
Women’s groups have come out in global solidarity.
Even the Kuki_Zo victims have shared their story.
The perpetrators continue to lie and manipulate. They have no shame.
In death we will be separated.Heaven and Hell
Dissolved organisation wants clarification they were not involved in violence, when their leaders publicly rant they want to ‘kill all Kuki Zo people’. Makes sense 🫣🤔
I expect Biren or his intelligence service saw ‘that video’ months ago. Hence the internet ban in the state of Manipur. Today we witnessed a seminal moment where the truth triumphed over tyranny. The final united CM of Manipur has been anointed. Goodbye. Good riddance.
CM of Mizoram waiting humbly in a queue with others, (note the lack of ‘Z’ level security assigned to Biren Singh CM in his neighbouring ‘police state’ of Manipur).
To defend your sisters honour in the face of an 800-1000 Meitei armed mob, to face certain death.
He made that decision.
That is Kuki_Zo blood.
I honour you. 🙏🏼
The Kuki Zo people have lost so much, homes, villages, churches,lives livelihoods, education, possessions everything.
But gained so much more. A United identity, a collective tribal ethnicity, a spirit.
The warrior spirit has been awakened.
Thank you Biren Singh.
I can sit in the UK and see Kuki social media activists in Delhi highlight culprits in rape crimes in Manipur on twitter, whilst the Manipur police, (paid apparatchiks of Biren) struggle to find the culprits. Something is wrong there. Crimes occurred May 4 th 2023.
To burn alive your own, due to fervent hate racist ideology is a lesson to us all.
To withhold the deceased body for several months was pure evil.
To find a dignified resting place, is God’s Will.
RIP ✝️🙏🏼
Why does Pramot Singh never share his real forefathers stories? Kuki’s giving refuge to the Prince of Manipur 1819-1826. I thought he said Kuki’s only appeared in the last few years ? 🤔
During the Seven Years Devastation (1819-1826), the Kukis gave refuge to the prince of Manipur, who "started guerilla war against the Burmese occupation force" (Source: Gangmumei Kabui, History of Manipur: Pre-colonial Period. Delhi: Akansha, reprint 2019, p. 339).

Takes more than a licence for a gun

Thanks for all the recent retweets & Likes. 1700 Followers. Let’s continue to hold the Manipur and National Government of India to account for the ‘ethnic cleansing’ of the Kuki_Zo people.
Unity is strength ✊🏽🙏🏼
I always said the Meitei massacre at Khamenlok was a turning point of this conflict. Why do you think their was revenge beheadings of David Thiek, and Imphal street executions of two old ladies? Let’s see what happens when Meitei mothers start asking where their sons are!
That’s a body blow for Biren. Surely that’s the end of him. A vote of no confidence that he is not the CM to solve the sectarian divide. His characteristic are exposed, as deceitful.
Biren was still picking grass out of his arse on a football pitch in 1985.
Tribal Kuki Zo society has a long rich history in Manipur, long before Biren’s fascist BJP came into politics.
It will have a long rich history after he leaves politics. 🙏🏼✝️
My half British / Kuki Zo daughters 9 th Birthday today. A day of celebration for our family, but also a day of deep reflection and sadness for me, for our lost sisters who will never celebrate another Birthday. 🙏🏼
