Routledge Against the Empire: Routledge Anglo-Kuki War History Book

Explore the history of the Kuki uprising against the British Empire during the First World War. This academic work examines the conflict that took place between 1917 and 1919 across the northeast frontier of India, specifically the Assam-Burma frontier. Spanning over 6,000 square miles, this three-year war provides necessary context for understanding the modern landscape of Northeast India. As a companion to the seminal work "The Anglo-Kuki War, 1917-1919," this volume offers a deep look into the social and political changes caused by the conflict. Readers will find detailed analysis regarding the impact on the indigenous Kuki population, focusing on how the war shaped their economy, politics, and identity. It also covers the significant effects on indigenous culture and belief systems during this period of colonial resistance.
