The term Kuki, in literature, first appeared in the writing of Rawlins when he wrote about the tribes of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. It refers to "Hillsmen" comprising numerous clans. These clans share a common past, culture, customs and tradition. They speak in dialects that have a common root language belonging to the Tibeto-Burman group[1]. Kuki have Mongoloid features and are generally short-stature with straight black hair, Dark brown eyes and brown skin. The different kuki clans are recognised as schedule tribe of India[2]. This tribe recognition is based on dialect spoken and region. They spread out in a contiguous region in Northeast India, Northwest Burma (Myanmar), and the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh. They are most prominent in Manipur, Nagaland, Assam and Mizoram. Kuki is composed of many different entities/Clans: Aimol, Anal, Baite, Biate, Bawn, Changsan, Chiru, Chongloi, Chothe, Darlawng, Doungel, Guite, Halam, Haokip, Haolai, Hangsing, Hauzel, Hmar, Hrangkhawl, Kilong, Kipgen, Koireng, Khelma / Sakachep, Kolhen, Kom, Lamkang, Lenthang, Lhanghal/Hanghal, Lhouvum, Lhungdim, Lunkim, Lupho/Mirem, Lupheng, Thangeo, Lhangum, Maring, Mate, Misao, Monsang, Moyon, Paite, Purum, Simte, Singsit, Singson, Sitlhou, Tarao, Tuboi, Tonsing, Touthang, Vaiphei, Vaulnam, Zou etc. Though the term Kuki can be thought of as been synonymous with Mizo and Chin tribes, predominantly all Zo groups other than those who are in Mizoram and Chin refer to themselves as Kukis.
