Unraveling Manipur's Conflict: Government Response and Accountability for Violence
TL;DR Summary
Manipur, a state in northeast India, has been engulfed in an ethnic conflict between the Meitei community and the Kuki tribe. Tensions escalated after a court ruling granted the Meitei scheduled tribal status, leading to protests and violence. The clashes have resulted in over 140 deaths and 60,000 displaced people. The government's response has been criticized for its muted reaction, but a viral video of two Kuki women being assaulted prompted Prime Minister Narendra Modi to comment on the issue. The conflict has highlighted the failures of the police and authorities to address the violence.
