Kut popularly known as ‘Chavang Kut’ is one of the largest and most popular festivals of the Kuki-Chin-Mizo, the community who were once subjugated and divided by the British in the Anglo-Kuki War of 1917-1919 to different political divisions. Although they are one and the same by blood, by history and by custom, this people are today divided and known by different names in different countries.
They are known as Kuki in Manipur, Chin in Myanmar (Burma), Mizo in Mizoram, and Kuki or Ralong in Tripura, etc. Kut is a cultural heritage which has been enjoyed once in a year by the young and old, rich and poor forgetting all their worries. There are different kinds of Kuts - Mim Kut (job’s ear), Pawl Kut (Guava harvest) and Chang Kut (Paddy Kut) Chapchar Kut or Chapphou Kut.
