Today marks the 107th anniversary of the #AngloKukiWar, a powerful testament to the courage and resilience of the Kuki people who fought fiercely for their land and freedom against colonial rule (1917-1919). We honor the legacy of our ancestors and their enduring spirit of resistance.
Here are some quotes from British officers and officials who were directly involved in the Anglo-Kuki War (1917–1919):
1. Sir Robert Reid (Governor of Assam)
“The Kukis displayed a remarkable degree of organization and unity in their resistance. It was a far more difficult and prolonged conflict than we had anticipated, and it forced us to deploy significant resources in what was a remote region of the Empire.” (Source: Robert Reid, History of the Frontier Areas Bordering on Assam (1942))
“The rising of the Kuki tribes was a grave concern, and it required not only the deployment of military force but also changes in our administrative approach towards the hill tribes.” (Source: Robert Reid, The Lushai Hills: A British Frontier Policy in Eastern Bengal (1943))
2. C. Gimson (Political Agent in Manipur)
“The Kukis, whom we had hitherto considered a quiet and backward tribe, rose against us with a fierceness that was unexpected. Their determination to resist British authority, especially in the face of our military superiority, was astounding.” (Source: C. Gimson, The Kuki Rebellion of 1917-1919 (1919))
“It became apparent that the Kukis were unwilling to submit to our authority, particularly with the demands we placed upon them for labor. This defiance was deeply rooted in their traditional independence.” (Source: C. Gimson, Report on the Hill Tribes of Manipur (1920))
3. Major-General G.M. Waterfield (Commanding Officer, Assam Rifles)
“The Kukis were no ordinary tribesmen; they fought with an extraordinary tenacity and skill. Their use of guerilla tactics in the rugged terrain made it exceedingly difficult to subdue them.” (Source: G.M. Waterfield, The Anglo-Kuki Operations: A Military Account (1921))
“It was a war of attrition, where the Kukis used their intimate knowledge of the terrain to harass our forces constantly. Despite our technological superiority, we found it challenging to completely stamp out their resistance.” (Source: Major-General Waterfield, Official Report on Kuki Operations (1920))
4. T.C. Hodson (Commissioner of Assam)
“The Kuki rebellion posed a unique challenge in the northeast frontier. Their refusal to provide labor for the war effort was not merely a question of disobedience; it was a deeply held principle of independence, which they were willing to defend with their lives.” (Source: T.C. Hodson, The Naga Hills and the Kuki Rebellion (1920))
“Our failure to anticipate the depth of resentment among the Kuki tribes was a costly oversight. Their rebellion was an expression of a broader dissatisfaction with our policies in the region.” (Source: T.C. Hodson, Memoirs on the Kuki Tribes of Assam (1920))
5. Lt. Colonel L. W. Shakespear (Officer in Charge of the Military Operations)
“The Kukis had a strong tradition of self-governance under their chiefs, and our attempts to interfere with this structure by imposing labor demands were bound to be met with resistance. The scale of that resistance, however, took us by surprise.” (Source: L.W. Shakespear, The Lushai-Kuki Operations and the Rebellion (1919))
“We encountered in the Kukis a fierce and independent people. They fought with a tenacity borne of their fierce attachment to their land and their desire to maintain their autonomy.” (Source: Lt. Colonel L.W. Shakespear, Official Military Dispatch on Kuki Rebellion (1919))
6. Sir Nicholas Dodd Beatson-Bell (Chief Commissioner of Assam)
“The rising of the Kuki tribes was not merely an insurrection but a well-coordinated defiance of British authority in the hills. The military operations against them were prolonged due to their intimate knowledge of the terrain and their guerilla warfare tactics.” (Source: Nicholas Dodd Beatson-Bell, Military Report on the Kuki Insurgency (1920))
“The punitive measures we enacted were severe, but necessary, to bring an end to the rebellion. However, in hindsight, the rebellion was as much a reaction to our excessive demands as it was to any inherent rebelliousness among the Kuki people.” (Source: Beatson-Bell, Report on the Northeast Frontier Uprisings (1920)) @ANI@PTI_News
SC panel to prioritise pellet guns usage and harassment of female protestors during July 20 Jantar Mantar march to Parliament called by the CJP.
The Hindu was the first to report on July 21 that at least one-protestor was hit by a pellet gun, part of the anti-riot gear of the Rapid Action Force (RAF) during July 20 march to Parliament called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which turned violent. Later, three more victims said they had been hit by pellets, usually fired from pump action guns.
Subsequently on July 28, The Hindu reported that though Delhi Police denied the usage of pellet guns, a general diary entry filed at Parliament Street police station revealed that the RAF fired two rounds from an anti-riot gun on the directions of a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) rank officer of the police. The demands for answer as to who ordered use of pellet guns by the Opposition parties, in which at least 80 protestors were injured and women were allegedly sexually assaulted by police personnel, led to the disruption of the monsoon session of Parliament.

Manipur: Isn’t this video shocking? Recorded at Chassad PS by a Tangkhul personnel, he says he asked DJM to remove a person with a crooked hand. Who’s this personnel? He tipped off NSCN(M), leading to electricity workers being shot. @manipur_police must clarify. @YKhemchandSingh
In 2020 when conflicf between Nagas and Kukis broke out Meitei CSO COCOMI extended all help for reconciliation and it worked. This time, no never again.
