	Chin Human Rights Organization - CHRO - THE ORIGIN OF THE CHIN
		The designation of Kuki is never used by the tribes themselves, though many of them answer to it when addressed, knowing it to be the Bengali term for their people (Soppit 1893: 2).
		Their main thesis is that the hill people and plain’s people are now defined by their mutual relationships in present sites, because, for anthropologists, ethnicity was constructed within the realm of social interaction between neighbouring reference groups.
		Especially for the people who live in communities transformed by powerful outside forces, the common perception of a threat to their existence as well as the narrative accounts of socio-religio-cultural contact with the outside world had created identity through the idiom of shared history.

		Any Kuki priest coming to "selah" in a chant was required to repeat the preceding section, and to do so again and again for as long as "selah" kept occurring, up to seven times.
