The Manipur police have booked two assistant professors of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and a retired colonel for books they had edited and authored on the “Anglo-Kuki war”.
They have been charged with inciting “war against the Government of India” and promoting “enmity between different groups”.
Both FIRs were filed on a complaint given by The Federation of Haomee, which identifies itself as an organisation for indigenous people. It was alleged that the Anglo-Kuki War 1917-19, as stated in the books, never actually happened according to archival records.
