The state lies between latitude 23°50’ and 25°30 North longitude 93°10’ and 94°30’ East and Contain about 8,000 square miles of which 7,000 square miles are hill territory as opposed to the vallely territory and are inhabited by Naga and Kuki tribes, hill people, who number slightly more than 100,000, while accepting with due reserve the familiar distinction between Nagas and Kukis, it may be pointed out that the tribes commonly classed together as Naga and Kuki occupy definite areas in these hills.
