over their territories. The British Indian government responded to the Kuki insurgency by launching a counter-offensive, which consisted of a series of punitive expeditions and military campaigns against the Kuki tribes. The British forces relied heavily on their superior firepower and technology, including machine guns and artillery, to overwhelm the Kuki fighters. The British also employed tactics such as scorched earth policy and forced relocation of Kuki villagers to disrupt the Kuki resistance and undermine their support base. As the conflict continued, both sides suffered significant losses, with the Kukis bearing the brunt of the casualties. The Kukis faced numerous challenges in terms of logistics, coordination, and leadership, which hampered their ability to mount a sustained and effective resistance against the British. The British, on the other hand, faced difficulties in dealing with the complex terrain and geography of the region, as well as the guerilla tactics employed by the Kukis. Despite these challenges, the conflict continued to escalate, with both sides committing atrocities and human rights abuses. The British authorities imposed martial law in many parts of the region, and conducted widespread arrests, torture, and executions of suspected Kuki fighters and sympathizers. The Kukis, in turn, resorted to acts of sabotage, assassination, and terror against the British and their collaborators.

The Accord granted limited autonomy to the Mizos, and recognized their traditional rights over their land and resources. However, the Kukis were not included in the Accord, and the conflict continued to simmer for several more years, until a final settlement was reached in 1923. Overall, the Anglo-Kuki War was a highly complex and multifaceted conflict that had profound impacts on the social, political, and economic landscape of Northeast India. The conflict highlighted the tensions and contradictions inherent in the colonial project of the British Indian government, and the resistance and resilience of the indigenous peoples who sought to defend their land and way of life. End of the war After years of fighting, the Anglo-Kuki War finally came to an end with the defeat of the Kuki tribes. By 1919, most of the Kuki strongholds had been captured by the British, and the Kukis had suffered significant casualties. The Kukis eventually sued for peace, and in June 1919, a formal
