Zale'n-gam or Zalengam (Thadou-Kuki) dialect for 'land of freedom'), is a proposed state by Kuki people, with the intention of uniting all the Kuki tribes under a single government. The proposed state's main proponents are the Kuki National Organisation and its armed wing, the Kuki National Army.

Territory and people

The territorial claims of Zale'n-gam encompass a historical region consisting of the territories traditionally inhabited by the Kukis, but which never have had their own state, including:

• In India: Parts of Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and the Karbi Anglong District of Assam.
• In Burma: The Kabaw Valley and parts of Sagaing Division and Chin State.
• In Bangladesh: The Chittagong Hill Tracts

There is also a proposal to create two subdivisions of the proposed state: 'Eastern Zalengam' and 'Western Zalengam', the former within Burma and the latter in India.
