Zale'n-gam or Zalengam, meaning 'Land of Freedom' in the Kuki language, is the name chosen by Kuki nationalists in reference to a proposed state that would gather all the Kuki tribes under a single government in the future. The main organizations supporting the establishment of Zalengam are the Kuki National Organisation and its armed wing, the Kuki National Army.〔(Kuki National Army, Manipur - South Asia Terrorism Portal )〕 Zalengam should not be confused with Kukiland, a proposed Indian state to be carved from the hilly area of the southern part of Manipur.〔(The Kukis And The SoO: The Road Ahead )〕 ==Territory and people== The territorial claims of Zale'n-gam encompass a historical region consisting in all the territories traditionally inhabited by Kukis, but which never has had its own state,〔(The Kuki Zale'n-gam )〕 including: *In India: Parts of Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and the Karbi Anglong District of Assam. *In Burma: The Kabaw Valley and parts of Sagaing Division and Chin State. *In Bangladesh: The Chittagong Hill Tracts There is a provision for creating two subdivisions of the state: 'Eastern Zalengam' and 'Western Zalengam', the former within Burma and the latter in India. The Kuki tribes that would be part of this state include the following: Anal, Bom, Biate, Gangte, Halam, Haokip, Hmar, Kharam, Koireng, Kom, Lai, Mara, Purum, Saihriem, and the Thadou, among others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zale'n-gam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
