UCM statement irks ZYF
IMPHAL, Nov 17: The Zeliangrong Youth Front (Assam, Manipur & Nagaland) while rubbishing the statement of the United Committee Manipur (UCM), has said that the latter’s move amounts to inciting communal clash between the Nagas and the Kukis.
Terming the UCM statement as “illogical worries”, the ZYF alleged that UCM was speculating for the recurrence of ethnic clash between the Kuki-Naga following the Kuki people raising a demand for creation of separate Kuki state.
“The expression of alleged serious concern by the UCM can be considered it as synonymous to incitement, sowing the seed of distrust with an effort for eruption of communal disharmony but the tribal people are very much aware therefore, the UCM need not propagate its worries. The most important point to be noted by the UCM regarding the Kuki people’s demand for separate State is that the Kuki people despite the fact of being nomadic tribe, migrated and scattered and sparsely settled in some areas of hill districts but coming out openly with their demand for creation of separate State have manifested their discontentment by the nature of dealing by the State government."
The Kuki people’s demand for creation of separate State is basically based on the right to freedom of expression bestowed upon every democratic citizens of the country hence, there is no potentiality or possibility for recurrence of Kuki-Naga clash, Meitei-Muslim riot or Kuki-Paite clash." "therefore, it is urged upon the UCM to be more cautious and maintain responsibility while showing concerns,” the ZYF stated.
“The Kuki people truthfully knew their actual position especially in Tamenglong district where there are hardly two-three thousand Kuki population presently settled in the deserted villages with few households existing. Materialize or immaterialize, the Kukis’ demand for a separate State is a different thing and irrelevant to elaborate but how does and would the State government reacts to it will reflect and unfold the distinction of dealing by the Govt. regarding the road blockade imposed by the Nagas and Kukis,” it added.

zyf, u r great n wise. Hope kuki bros realise the fox in ucm n manipur govt. Sooner the better. Kukis does not have any future with meeteis in the long run. Kukis n nagas r tribals by blood n christians by faith. When nagas have accepted the present reality, kukis should read the writings on the wall rather than be incited by meeteis. Have dialogue n reconcile for the long run peace n justice.
john serto
what the hell ZYF people are saying. Zeliangrongs thought that they were older than ADam . This people need to be introduced to some concepts of anthropology....meiteis, nagas, or kukis or all human race came to their present settlements at different periods of history. ZYF needs to learn some lessons on the Aryan migration, dravadians and so on. Funny people...they think as if they own the entire world.
Gaidon
Meiteis are doing nothing but destroying Manipur integrity! Meiteis never stop destroying emotional integrity among the people of Manipur. Manipur will surely be separated into hills and valley administration solely because of the double standard, haughtiness and 'divide and rule' policy of Meiteis like UCM, AMUCO, Ibobi govt and other valley based orgs. And this Meiteis' 'divide and rule' policy is materialised with the help of valley based media.

Emotional integrity of manipur is already destroyed by UCM, AMUCO and Ibobi Meitei govt. Now territorial integrity is left. Now the question is why and how would Manipur territorial integrity important for the hill people? Is it important to preserve Meitei history which knows the hill people as their slaves, servants and untouchable? To continue to bear open discrimination and insult? To be totally controlled? To continue to remain fighting at the whim of Meiteis? Do the hill people depend anything from Meitei? Why should they restrict separate administration for better governance to speed up development in the hill areas? Do they have anything to loose? GoI is willing to do good things for the hill people but Meiteis are blocking it, why?

mac grifteen kamson try to meet ur researcher, then u will knw what is behind yhe sreen, coz i have come through Indian history as wel Manipur history i never find ZALENGRONG, try to find who u r, and whre did u came from..

meiteis r trying to incite hatrate towards kukis and nagas. they had done this b4. when the kukis were demanding sadarhills they put up a proposal for other districts like jiribam... I request the nagas n the kukis to join hand and fight against these bloody people. I wont mind if the land falls with the nagas or kukis but let us fight for our land.

how the hell this little brainy ZYF dare call Nomads to anyone? Does people of zaliangrong evolved from monkeys of tamenglong? Why don't someone teach those pig headed crows. This org, is nothing less than an UG's demanding percentage from any dept. they came across.
Truth Speaking Kangleicha
Historians such as Majumdar and Bhattasali refer to the Kukis as the earliest people known to have lived in prehistory India, preceding ‘the “Dravidians” who now live in South India.’ The Aryans, who drove the Dravidians towards the south, arrived in the Indian sub-continent around BC 1500. In the Pooyas, the traditional literature of the Meitei people of Manipur, ‘two Kuki Chiefs named Kuki Ahongba and Kuki Achouba were allies to Nongba Lairen Pakhangba, the first historically recorded king of the Meithis [Meiteis], in the latter’s mobilisation for the throne in 33 AD.’ Cheitharol Kumaba (Royal Chronicles of the Meitei Kings) records that in the year 186 Sakabda (AD 264) Meidungu Taothingmang, a Kuki, became king. Kuki defence against British colonialism Kuki opposition to the British and interference in their territorybegan in 1777, during the time of Warren Hastings, Governor General of India, culminated in 1919. For the sake of reference, ‘The year 1860 saw the great Kuki invasion of Tipperah [Tripura], and the following year a large body of police marched tothe hills to punish and avenge.’ ‘In 1845, 1847-1848, 1849-1850,and 1850-1851 there were raids culminating in what is called the Great Kuki Invasion of 1860s.’ ‘Early in 1860, reports were received, at Chittagong, of the assembling of a body of 400 or 500 Kookies at the head of the River Fenny, and soon the tale of burning villages and slaughtered men gave token of the work theyhad on hand. On the 31st January, before any intimation of their purpose could reach us, theKookies, after sweeping down the course of the Fenny, burst into the plains of Tipperah at Chagulneyah, burnt or plundered 15 villages, butchered 185 Britishsubjects,and carried off about 100 captives.’ Assam was brought under British rule after the Anglo-Burmese War in 1826. Thereafter, the British set out to extend their rule throughout the Northeast. Some of the major expeditions carried out in this region by the Assam Rifles and the Assam Military Police ‘include the ‘Kuki operations of 1880-1882 and 1917-1919’. The events of 1917-1919, recorded as ‘Kuki rising’ during WW I was momentous. This event is also referred to as ‘Anglo-Kuki War, 1917-1919’.

Tribal people hates Meitei is clear from the above comments... FINE.. So, the so call NAGAS, PLEASE GO AND JOIN your brethrens in NAGALAND (The land of NAGAS, created under IndianConstitution)), not in MANIPUR. This place is not for chicken-hearted people like YOU.... (The same with KUKIS, ARE U LISTENING??????). We the MEIETEIS also knows how to retaliate, we will and shall protect the TERRITORIAL BOUNDERIES till our last breath (by washing-out all the dirt minded peoples)... SO, if you (Both NAGAS and KUKIS) want to live in MANIPUR, NEVER EVER talk for separate land. MANIPUR is for ALL, not for a single community. We Meiteis never neglected the TRIBALS, it is your own PEOPLE who are the REPRESNTATIVES of you, has played the ROLES and EATEN your shares... Please ask the Veteran Politician Shri Keishing, longest CM served in Manipur, WHAT HAD HE DONE FOR YOU? Ask your respective MLAs, where are the development money provided for Hill people? YAMNA SHATHINA SHOKKANI...HOURAKANU... PIT-PA, PIT-PA LAMBI BLOCKADE TOUBAGI THABAK TOKSHI....

A fake John serto, has failed to realised that serto is not kuki but kom tribe or whatever in any case. People in Manipur without realising the grudge and pain of NAGA'S and kuki's demand for a separate state has rather make a mockery of the situation. A simple logic, when does a person become infuriated, what makes him angry?, why meitei UGs fight against Indian Govt, why NSCN against Indian govt, why India struggle against British for more than 200years, why Indian wants Britishers to quit thier land?. Discontentment. Why discontentment? because they were deprived of their rights,were usurped of their small square of meals, they were cheated openly ,looted openly, they were subdued,they were consider inferior, they called us "YOU BLOODY INDIANS", like the Indians called North East people "YOU CHINKY", like the way meitei called tribals"YOU CHINGMI,HAO, LAWAI". Nothingmore. Why shouldn't the highlander fight for their rights, for their home, shelter, food, job, electricity, water, road, shopping complex, stadium, TD office in their respective dist rather than meaningless valley. why shouldn't they get top post according to their knowledge and seniority, why should they be side stepped by an illeterate old man just keep his incompatible his right man in top,why should tribals be shooed away in TD office, why can't we enquire about ST scholarship, WHY?. Nothing to distrub the feelings of any community with this statement. Its only an expression of a long carried pangs and pain of heart that needed to be expressed at the right time and condition. Above all a simple intillegent person with right presence of mind will surely ponder why there is no peace in IMA MANIPUR.

UCM has make joke of century
@gaidonkey
The ideology and action of NSCN IM is no different from AL QUEDA except they do and speak under da guise of christianity making it a dirty religion.for so many decades,they have been sucking da blood of manipur more so of da hill people and the tribals in particular...some tangkhuls who served as CMs also worked under the dictate of NSCN IM..GAIDON,just imagine,how much money is being spend by ur leaders to buy houses in amsterdame,to buy girls in thailand and to buy weapons for extortion?? ALL FUNDS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF HILLS GOES DIRECTLY TO COMMANDER OR KILONSER OF NSCN IM VIA DC OFFICES...so now da GoI knows wat to do wit These bastards...if they start shooting these pigs,they will force da innocent tribals to hold rallies n shout for them..may be use them as shields...ONE AMAZING FACT THOSE VILLAGES WHO CUD NT SPONSOR ATLEAST 20 VILLAGERS FOR ALT. ARRNGMNT RALLY,THE VILLAGE HEADMAN SUD PAY A FINE OF 5000 RUPEES OR FACE DA WRATH OF TH MUIVAH..SO DA PEOPLE OF DA HILLS R STILL LIVING IN DARK SURROUNDED BY FEAR...IT"S TIME TO DESTROY TH MUIVAH AND SENT HIM TO HELL.AMEN

@kuki: whoever u r it is not my concerned to know u. But let me tell u something which wil make a wakeup kick!! We never opposed when kukis were demanding for separate district called sadar hill district. It seems like u dont know the ground reality of that matter. Do u remember when kuki's heads approached manipur's king few months back for asking help in regard of sadar district issue, we thought that kukis have sense to approach the right people at right time and we were even supporting for ur demands and we still do supports but those brothers of urz by faith who thinks themselves as a king of tribals and lord of nagas were opposing it. GoM had almost decided to give your demand but those snakes were resisting it and put blockade to make us suffered. And about the jiribam, they r also same like u people who wants ful flegded district but still those snakes again bite it. You should know where is ur origin! There's a lines in meitei" phamba chaladi hipasu chalani". It means if we allow some1 to take a space, that some1 will asks for more space. Instead of acting like those snakes, Why dont u people become as one of us and together shoo away this snakes for which they had bitten ur fathes, mothers, bros and sistrs with there poison.
