This book explores the Kuki uprising against the British Empire
during the First World War in Northeast frontier of India (then
Assam-Burma frontier). It underlines how of the three-year war
(1917-1919), spanning over 6,000 square miles, is crucial to
understanding present-day Northeast India. The essays in the volume
examine several aspects of the war, which had far-reaching
consequences for the indigenous population as well as for British
attitudes and policy towards the region - including military
strategy and tactics, violence, politics, identity, institutions,
gender, culture, and the frontier dimensions of the First World War
itself. The volume also looks at how the conflict affected the
larger dynamics of the region within Asia, and its relevance in
world politics beyond the Great War. Drawing on archival sources,
extensive fieldwork and oral histories, the volume will be a
significant contribution to comprehending the complex geopolitics
of the region. It will be of great interest to scholars and
researchers of South and Southeast Asian Studies, area studies,
modern history, military and strategic studies, insurgency and
counterinsurgency studies, tribal warfare and politics.
