Lalchukla

Lalchhuaklala, known by the British as Lalchukla^[a] was a Lushai chieftain of the Paite clan. 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 captivity with deportation. Lalchukla would surrender under the assumed condition that he wouldn't be held captive or executed. Upon deportation from his settlement, many Lushai chiefs viewed this as a breach of faith and a source of resistance to cooperating with the British. ^[1]
