TL;DR Summary

New allegations of violence against women are emerging in the Indian state of Manipur, as a viral video showing two women being paraded naked by a mob encourages others to speak out. The video has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, leading to the arrest of six men. The conflict between the Meitei and Kuki communities in Manipur has caused over 130 deaths and has deepened faultlines between the two communities. The video has united Meitei women in protest, and the Meira Peibis, a group of women activists, have taken action against the attackers. However, unconfirmed reports of sexual assaults by Kuki men against Meitei women have fueled the violence. The government's response to the conflict has been criticized, and survivors are calling for justice and fair treatment for both communities.
