Lalchukla was a chief of the Paite tribe. He is known for being one of the earliest chiefs to interact with the British through raiding. Lalchukla was a close associate of Hill Tipperah in following the diplomacy of his father Laroo. Lalchukla's raid of Kachu Bari saw British retaliation which led to him being caught. His trial was under English common law, and he was sentenced to life in prison.
Anglo-Lushai Relations
[edit]After the death of his father, Chief Laroo, Lalchukla, as the eldest son, succeeded him in chieftainship. Subsequently, on the night of 16 April 1844, Lalchukla established a raiding party armed with muskets and weapons. The party descended upon the settlement of Kachubari In Sylhet. The resulting raid saw many individuals captured and up to 20 heads taken.[1]
The nature of the raid prompted British authorities such as Stealy, the maigstrate of Sylhet, to conduct an investigation. The results showed that Lalchukla and his relative Botai.[1] The British authorities officially filed the incident as a ritual to procure a chieftain's funeral as Lushais did practice headhunting. The authorities based this off of eye witnesses who saw the ritual drying of Laroo's corpse in the house courtyard.[2]
Lalchukla was under the territory of the Raja of Tripura at the time. Krishna Kishor Manikya was held accountable for the misconduct of the tribes under his nominal control. Since Lushai tribes offered commodities such as elephant tusks as tributes, they were seen as tributaries to Tripura and hence responsible.[2]
