  • Kuki Churches Unification Movements
    Journal of North East India Studies Vol. 2(1), Jul.-Dec. 2012, pp. 33-48. Kuki Churches Unification Movements Thongkholal Haokip The coming of Christianity among the Kukis is now more than a century. Centenary of the gospel among the Baptists was celebrated in March 1996 with a theme “Christ the Hope of the Ages” and the Evangelical Presbyterians in 2010 with “Power of the Gospel” as a theme respectively. Within the twentieth century almost the entire population had been swept by Christianity and now Christians constitute more than 90 percent of the total population. This essay discusses the advent of Christianity among the Kukis and analyse the attempts made by church leaders to unify Kuki churches. It also made an enquiry into the reasons for the failure of such attempts to church unification and its implication on Kuki society. Keywords: Kuki Church, Church Unification, Ecumenical Movement, Church division Advent of Christianity Christianity was brought among the Kukis by two main Christian missions, the Baptist and the Presbyterian. The first Kuki convert to Christianity in the then Naga Hills was Ngulhao Thomsong, who was baptised by William Pettigrew on January 20, 1908. In the Mikir Hills (Karbi Anglong) of Assam, Baptist missions first came and the churches were known as Kuki Baptist churches. Similarly, in Tripura and Burma, Christianity among the Kukis was brought in by the Baptist missions. In North Cachar Hills and Lushai Hills of Assam, Presbyterian missions first set in their foot and the churches in the Kuki areas were known as Ngalsong Presbytery. The Kuki Christians in Naga Hills formed the Kuki Christian Association in 1926.

  • Chapter 3: Review of Literature
    Chapter 3: Review of Literature This Chapter is subdivided into two sections. The 1st section explores key terms used for this study. Besides this, the researcher has analyzed multiple conceptual approaches to the study of identity whereby highlighting the imperative understanding of identity as a social construct in the process of debunking the notion that formation of identity is based on cognitive self construction thereby subsequently opening up a new forum of consciousness on the dialectics between ‘self’ and ‘others’. From Freud’s psychoanalysis (1921) to Saussure’s language representation (1949) to Goffman’s dramaturgical representation (1959) of identity as social construct, this section attempts to delve closely with useful conceptual framework as well as to trace the development of identity scholarship from available literatures. The study has also identified different locations where identities are being exercised such as culture, literature, gender, religion, sports, economy, politics, emotions, outward and inward remittance and language. These different locations have become important ‘social markers’ for the study of identity reconstruction especially in a globalizing world in general and India in particular. Literatures available on these ‘social markers’ will be reviewed. In other words, identity reconstruction will be looked at in relations to different intervening variables; how these variables contribute in determining the sustainability of tribal migrants and their identity. We will also uncover various academic texts, journals, web pages and reports of political and non-governmental agencies on the dialectics between ‘indigenous’ and ‘tribe’, who is ‘indigenous’ or ‘tribe’ or who is an ‘indigenous tribe’?. In order to unravel the conceptual definition of ‘indigenous tribe’, this study analyzed the writings of scholars such as Béteille (1981), Xaxa (1999), Risley and Gait, G.S.

  • Origin Al a Rticle
    International Journal of History and Research (IJHR) ISSN (P): 2249-6963; ISSN (E): 2249–8079 Vol. 11, Issue 1, Jun 2021, 1–10 © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd. EDUCATION AND LITERATURE IN THE HILL AREAS OF MANIPUR DURING THE BRITISH RULE DR SHEIKHOHAO KIPGEN* Associate Professor in the Department of History, Manipur College ABSTRACT The arrival of William Pettigrew is synonymous with the arrival of modern education among the tribal people of Manipur. The British administration served as a facilitator in this process. It is an open secret that neither the Manipur Maharajas nor the tribal chieftains who had practiced a system of governance in the hills of Manipur could affect the changes that have occurred within a span of a century that is ever since the British colonialist and its missionaries set foot on the soil of Manipur. If the tribal people have reached a semblance of development, a sizeable portion of credit should go to the untiring works of the western, native and the western missionaries who have slogged in their own measure to take the tribal people to the heights of progress and advancement. The expansion of British colonial administration brought changes of unprecedented nature among the hill people. Historically, the tribal people were never within an integrated political structure or a unified administrative Original Article Original network of the kings of Manipur. It was only when the British consolidated their foothold in the valley and consequently incorporated the administration of the hill areas under them; tribal people were introduced to western education. The establishment of churches and educational institutions initiated the process of epoch making changes among the tribal society.

  • The Faith of Canaanite Woman]
    Message delivered at Kuki Worship Service, Pune, June 29, 2014 Message: Rev Dr J Lamboi Haokip Text: Matthew 15:21-28 [the faith of Canaanite woman] When I first arrived in the UK in the year 2006 and attended a church worship service there, I was asked to sit on the front row before the pulpit. Soon I discovered that the names of those who fought during the World Wars were written on the pulpit, and that disturbed me. I asked myself, “Why remember those people EVEN IN THE CHURCH?” The reason being that it was the colonial administration which suppressed my people during the so-called ‘1917-1919 Kuki Punitive Measures’ for refusing to fight for them in France. To a great extent, the present identity crisis of the people has to do with that episode. Secondly, and for me a more disturbing reason, was the fact that those soldiers were accepted and remembered in the church as part of her service for the Lord. In other words, what the colonial administration did was indirectly or unknowingly approved by the church. I understand that those reading the story through the lenses of Just War Theory may find no problem with it but I, as both a victim of the colonial brutality and a Christian convert, struggled to find a place in such a situation. I felt excluded. May be I was wrong but that was how I felt on that day. I suppose my problem was not the issue of Just War Theory as such but rather, the brutality committed to the people and its lasting and painful impact that the voiceless people have to suffer in the name of Just War Theory was what made me feel in that way.

  • A Brief Sketch of Evangelical Baptist Convention, Manipur, India
    Baptist World Alliance – Heritage and Identity Commission General Council Meeting, July 2004, Seoul, South Korea A Brief Sketch of Evangelical Baptist Convention, Manipur, India © by REV DR LUAI CHIN THANG Dr Luai Chin Thang is General Secretary, of the Evangelical Baptist Convention, based at New Lamka, Manipur, India. This paper was delivered at the BWA Heritage and Identity Commission meeting in Seoul Korea, July 2004. For more information about the EBC, go to http://dorcashall.tripod.com and email Dr Thang at [email protected] Pre-Christian Era The Evangelical Baptist Convention consists mainly of the Paite tribe scattered all over Mizoram, Manipur and Assam. Their background, culture and religion are not too different with those of the Mizos, Hmars, Kukis etc. that live in the same area. The gospel arrived here less than a hundred years ago. Before the coming of Christianity, the Paites were animistic in their religion and belief. They spent all their treasure to placate the evil spirits who continually troubled them. They believed in a benevolent God, but did not bother to placate Him because, He did not give any trouble like the evil spirits. One way to earn direct entrance to heaven was to kill at least a person and bring home the head of the person killed. Inter-village, inter-clan, and inter-tribal wars were very frequent. The people were extremely poor and ignorant, and they lived extremely miserable lives. They were known for head hunting. One English daily from Kolkata called them “irreclaimably savage”. Before leaving them, a missionary termed them as a creature between human being and the monkey - and even closer to the monkey than to humans.
