Book Description

About the Book "The Lushei Kuki Clans" is an important work that explores the history, social structure, and culture of the Lushei (or Kuki) clans in Northeast India. It provides detailed accounts of their clan organization, traditions, and interactions with neighboring communities. The study sheds light on the rich heritage and complex societal dynamics of the Lushei Kuki people, contributing to a deeper understanding of the indigenous cultures in the region and their historical evolution over time.

About the Author Lt. Colonel J. Shakespear (1861-1942) was a British colonial officer and historian renowned for his extensive studies on the history and ethnography of the Kuki and Mizo peoples in Northeast India. His research provided valuable insights into the customs, social structures, and history of these indigenous communities.

Introduction THIS monograph was originally intended to deal only with the inhabitants of the Lushai Hills, but on my transfer to Manipur, I found so many clans living in the hill tracts of that curious little state that I suggested that the scope of the monograph might be enlarged to include all clans of the Kuki race as well. This term Kuki, like Naga, Chin, Shendu, and many others, is not recognised by the people to whom we apply it, and I will not attempt to give its derivation, but it has come to have a fairly definite meaning, and we now understand by it certain closely allied clans, with well marked characteristics, belonging to the Tibeto-Burman stock. On the Chittagong border the term is loosely applied to most of the inhabitants of the interior hills beyond the Chittagong Hill tracts; in Cachar it generally means some family of the Thado or Khawtlang clan, locally distinguished as New and Old Kukis. In the Lushai Hills nowadays the term is hardly ever employed, having been superseded by Lushai. In the Chin Hills and generally on the Burma border all these clans are called Chins. The term Lushai, as we now understand it, covers a great many clans; it is the result of incorrect transliteration of the word Lushei, which is the name of the clan, which, under various chiefs of the Thangur family, came into prominence in the eighteenth century and was responsible for the eruption into Cachar of Old Kukis at the end of that century and of the New Kukis half a century later.
