Conclusion

Boina ito hou chomcha in ihinsei taovin, tutu a angaicha chu ahile eihon tribe min iti ikijih diu ham tihi ahi. India hi chamlhatna gam ahitoh lhonin mihing jat (population) tam le lhom athupi dan hi ihesohkei uve. Population politics hi tukhang’a ethnicity le ethnic consciousness ahat toh lhonin eihon jong hiche hi i hetsoh kei uva chule i manchah diu hi thilpha ahi. Hijeh a chu eihon jong lunggil in ngaito utin, lunggelthem nale khonung ding gelsao puma pan ilahdiu hi deisah ahi.

I bol diuva deium chu ahile tribe min khat a kilah ding hi ahi. Hijeh chun tu ahunglhung ding kum som sung din ‘Thadou’/’Thadou-Kuki’ in kilahphot ute tihi kei deisah ahi.
Thadou hi ho le Thadou pom hon ‘Thadou’ hi amaho tum’a gel louva, chule ‘Thadou’ pomlou hon jong 2011 census sung’a ‘Thadou’ tribe kijih man na nemna le Thadou noija kaum tai tia kilah louva, malam’a machalna ding’a kal khat song in kigel ute.
