Etymology
[edit]The name Boro Muolkoi is a blend of words from Bangla and Hmar:
Thus, the name can be interpreted as "Big Zigzag Hills".
History
[edit]Boro Muolkoi traces its origin to Phunchawngzawl (Muolkoi), a settlement established in 1917 by Alien Bapui and Rohauvung Parate. Phunchawngzawl (Muolkoi) became an early centre of Christianity in the region, where the first local Christian conversions were recorded in 1921 who were Roneilien Parate and Sumhauhrawng Parate. Following an influenza epidemic, the residents relocated and permanently settled at Muolkoi (Zopui) in 1923 under the leadership of Rochawnghlun Parate. After further relocations, Boro Muolkoi was established in 1927. Leadership later passed to Roneikhup Parate after Rochawnghlun Parate became ill. In 1958, a nearby Khasi (Pnar) settlement became known as Chhoto Muolkoi, and the two villages have since maintained close social and traditional ties.[7]

Administration
[edit]Boro Muolkoi is governed by a traditional headman system led by a Gaon Bura which means Lal (Chief) and supported by a Village Cabinet. It falls under the North Cachar Hills Autonomous Council (NCHAC).
