Kuki History and Political ldentity can't be altered as one's choice or perception
The British's recognised Kukis can't be named Zos. Kuki history also can't be called Zo history and British map of Kuki country or Kukiland also can't be known as Zoland, Zalengam or Zogam
The British writers during the colonial British had recorded the North Eastern part of lndia, Chittagong Hill Tracts (Bangladesh) and the north west Burma region as Kukiland or Kuki country with its map (according to Gierson GA,1904 in his Linguistic Survey of lndia Vol Ill ,Part lll) and is kept safe in the London Museum and other important offices. The British considered all the people living inside the areas covered by the map as Kuki tribe or nation.
The colonial British during their period had separated the Kukis into Kukis living in lndia, Myanmar and Bangladesh, but left provision to claim back the whole land by approaching the UN accordingly under the recorded Kuki history to carve out Kuki country.
Nevertheless, nobody can claim the said land by any other name other than the name 'Kuki' and in any way irrelevant to the British record. If anyone tries, that's not going to work.
