    The Thadou are a Kuki people located chiefly in the hill country adjacent to the Imphal Valley in the northeastern Indian state of Manipur. There are approximately 252,000 Kuki living in the Indian states of Manipur, Nagaland and Assam. The impact of Christian missionary activity was felt early in the 20th century. Though the church is widespread among this tribal people, there is a great need for Bibles and for sound theological training.

    The Republic of India, consists of 25 union states and 7 unionterritories,andthenationdominatesSouthAsiaandthe Indian Ocean. Nearly 16% of the world's population is Indian, livingon2.4%oftheworld'slandsurface. The great racial, ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity makes a simple subdivision of the population difficult. India is the world's largest functioning democracy, since becoming independent from Britain in 1947. Internal tensions have steadily increased because of caste, religious and regional loyalties.
