practice of selling Angami and Lhota children to Kukis |
| text: |
The practice of selling Angami and Lhota boys and girls to the Kukis was very common some years ago, but has now been effectually checked. During the year, two boys and one girl sold some six years ago, were recovered, but in every instance they had become so attached to their new masters that nothing could induce them to return to their parents' houses. The Kukis do not treat them as slaves, but as ordinary members of their household. |
