Gangte People
Gangte is one of the Kuki tribes of Northeast India with a population of 15,100 (as of 2001), primarily in Manipur's southern district (Churachandpur) and neighbouring States of Meghalaya, and Assam. Though nationally "Indian," this tribe displays East Asian-type features. They are considered part of the Chin-Kuki-Mizo community. Other clans or ethnic people in this group are the Thadou (Kuki), Hmar, Lushai (Mizo), Paite, Simte, Vaiphei, and Zou.
Gangte is also the name of the language spoken by the Gangte people of northeast India, one of the northern Kukish languages of the Tibeto-Burman family.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then imposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius—a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
