1. If "Kuki" is an umbrella term, which specific tribes are included under that umbrella? Can a definitive list be provided?
2. If Kuki is an umbrella identity, why are major bodies such as Zomi Council, Hmar Inpui, Thadou Inpi, and Mizo People's Convention not part of Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM)? Are all these groups automatically considered Kuki regardless of their own stated identities?
3. Can KIM legitimately claim to represent all non-Naga tribes of Manipur? If not, what common platform, if any, includes and represents Zomi, Hmar, Thadou, Mizo, and Kuki populations together?
These questions are important for understanding whether "Kuki" is an umbrella or a political ideology and how different communities within Manipur view Kuki.
Understanding how different communities within Manipur define, accept, reject, or relate to the term "Kuki" is essential before attempting to formulate policies, address grievances, or discuss long-term solutions to the present Manipur violence.
I repeat: in Manipur, the problem is Kuki.
Try to do some research and understand exactly what Kuki is. Once you understand what Kuki is, you will be able to focus on the solution to the violence in Manipur.
I repeat: the problem in Manipur is Kuki.
