Talk:Kuki-Paite clash

Manipur media called this ethnic clash as the "Kuki-Paite Clash" when in fact it should actually have been "Kuki-Zomi Clash." Thadous and Paites are two different tribes in Northeast India who want Kuki and Zomi respectively to be the nomenclatures for all the non-Naga tribes in Manipur. The Thadou tribe wants Kuki and the Paite wants Zomi. This is the key bone of contention between the two tribes which led to the outbreak of this ethnic war. During the clash, the Thadou and Gangte tribes fought in the name of Kuki and on the other hand, the Paite, Vaiphei, Tedim Chin and Simte tribes fought in the name of Zomi. So, calling this ethnic clash ah "Kuki-Paite Clash" is fundamentally completely wrong. 122.160.105.10 (talk) 04:40, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
