Manipur Proposed To Remove 'Any Kuki Tribes' From ST List. Tribal Affairs Ministry Says...

In 1956, parliament removed 'Any Kuki Tribes' from Manipur's list; in 2002, it returned to ST list after the state's request to the Centre; in 2018, new state cabinet approved deletion of 'Any Kuki Tribes'; for this, it sent a request to Centre in February 2023

Manipur Proposed To Remove 'Any Kuki Tribes' From ST List. Tribal Affairs Ministry Says... The inclusion or exclusion of communities in the Scheduled Tribes (ST) list in Manipur "may be kept on hold" due to the "sensitive nature of the prevailing situation" in the state, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs said in response to RTI queries.

CONDEMNATION
28th September, 2025

The Thadou Students’ Association (TSA) strongly condemns the malicious post on "UNITED KUKILAND of INDIA" WhatsApp channel targeting the Thadou community, our Hun Festival, and even the Thadou Baptist Association, Keithelmanbi Youth Department’s community service of cleaning the Kangpokpi District Hospital campus.

This is yet another attempt by Kuki supremacist and extremist groups, backed by militants, to suppress and erase the Thadou identity.

URL Link: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VazxaGbA89MZG4BvED13/2640

Let it be loud and clear: Thadou are NOT Kuki, and Kuki has NO control over Thadou. Both Thadou Inpi Manipur (TIM) and TSA have consistently rejected this false narrative and will continue to defend our distinct identity and cultural rights.
We urge and to take immediate cognizance of this divisive propaganda and hold those responsible accountable before it escalates tensions further.
We will celebrate our Hun Festival, serve our community, and protect our heritage, without fear, without apology.

Our message: Live and let live. Stop targeting the Thadou people, your hate only makes us stronger.

Thadou will never be subdued.

TSA Condemns Attack on Farmer and Killing of Mrs. Hoikholhing Haokip; Demands Immediate Judicial Probe

MEDIA RELEASE
Friday, the 20th June, 2025

The Thadou Students’ Association (TSA) strongly condemns the recent act of violence at Phubala, Bishnupur District, which left a local farmer Ningthoujam Biren Singh of Phubala Awang Maning Leikai, Bishnupur district was shot injured in the paddy field and resulted in the tragic killing of Mrs. Hoikholhing Haokip, a civilian and the wife of the village chief of Langchingmanbi, Kangvai Sub-Division, Churachandpur district during the retaliatory operation by security forces. Mrs. Hoikholhing was allegedly shot point-blank, an act that, if proven true, constitutes a grave violation of human rights and may amount to a fake encounter.

TSA expresses deep sorrow and solidarity with the family of the deceased and the injured. We also raise serious concern over the continued militarization of civilian zones, which endangers innocent lives even after the imposition of President’s Rule in Manipur since February 2025. This situation not only undermines the sovereignty of the Indian state, but also calls into question the integrity of the security forces and the effectiveness of the President’s Rule under the Hon’ble Governor of Manipur, who is presently overseeing the state government. The softness of state response has shaken public confidence and contributed to a growing loss of hope in the government’s ability to safeguard its own citizens.

In response to these grave concerns, the Thadou Students’ Association (TSA) appeals to the State Government to:
1. Constitute a time-bound judicial inquiry into the twin incidents; and if necessary, hand over the case to a neutral central agency such as the NIA or CBI for an impartial, independent and transparent investigation;
2. Ensure accountability of the security personnel involved, with suspension pending investigation and conduct an immediate security review to ensure the protection of farmers and civilians, especially in conflict-prone zones; and
3. Provide fair compensation and medical care to the victims and their families.

TSA also appeals to all communities to maintain peace and unity. We also caution the public and the media against circulating unverified information that could incite further unrest.

We reiterate our firm commitment to justice, peace, and the protection of human rights for all communities in Manipur.
