The Anglo-Kuki War of 1917-19 is one of the glorious chapters of history of North-East India in which an unknown tribe challenged the might of the British Army and fought a war that lasted for over two years. Though the Kukis lost the war they fought gallantly to uphold their pride and dignity. It was truly a victory in defeat in a real sense.
