[edit] This article should not be merged with "Kuki"
Chins in Chin State, Kuki, Mizo, Zomi are one people who share the same ethnicity, cultures and language similarities. The creation of Mizoram and Chin State left the peoples scattered in Burma, India and Bangladesh. Though the respective names for their identifications are respected among them, only 'Chin' and 'Mizo' terms adhere to geographically defined boundaries -- that are Chin State and Mizoram. With respect to 'Kuki', they live mainly Churachandpur district, Manipur state, India. The term Kuki in Manipur may include the Thado-Kuki peoples and Zomi peoples akin to the peoples living in the northern Chin State. 'Chin' can be traced back to ancient Burma in ancient inscriptions and records. The book called "The Burmese empire a hundred year ago", in paragraph 40, 41, 44 in Chapter IV mentioned about Chin peoples and their partially independent land. It was written as 'Chien' not as Chin. Therefore, 'Chien' is the first etymology ever written in modern western literature. The Kuki and Chins are ethnically correlated as they are one people, however how the two identities emerged in history is important to be mentioned and studied disconnectedly, especially on the matter of literature. --Ralliantu (talk) 06:28, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
