Asking whether the Kukis have any originality or land of their own and whether they have been subjected to be rule by other Nations to rebel for their independence, she said that there, however, was no Kuki war of independence (1917-1919) according to the book of Late RK Rajendra "Manipur after the coming of Kukis" .
