Claim: Kuki tribes living in Manipur came from the Burma  as refugees and were later granted ST  quota in India in 1968.
Fact-check: Viral letter does not mention all Kukis in Manipur as refugees from Myanmar - FACTLY
Verdict: the letter does not mention the entire kukis in manipur as refugees. previous letters related to the viral letter indicate that the district commissioner of manipur was implementing the humanitarian aid provided by the indian government to the kukis of myanmar, who were forced to flee to manipur in 1967 during the khadawmi operation in myanmar. moreover, the kuki tribes were granted the st status in india as early as 1950 and and they have existed in the manipur kingdom for many centuries. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
