When historiography on the Northeast started during the eighteenth century, there was silence and uncooperativeness from the ‘Brahminical/Hindu elites’ leading to confusion among the British ethnographers and historians. The resultant effect saw the original settlers rot in the realm of literature. This article explores the academic world of literature in the Northeast and acknowledges binary postulants of original as well as migratory existence, per se the Northeast inhabitants. This article attempts to bring back some of the historical accounts to understand the political world of marginal tribes in present Northeast by tracing ‘Kuki’ ‘Chin’ in the Hindu mythology. It is true, the idea of ‘welfare state’, ‘development’ and ‘democracy’ after 67 years of independence is still a dream for some of the tribes, however, to negotiate that the present political turmoil in Northeast India is a fight for a morsel of development is utter disrespect of the settlers who aspire for the hitherto ‘political space’ which their forefathers had enjoyed. The situation brings an interesting study of the Kuki tribes and their country which has slipped into oblivion due to various reasons.
