The public sentiment regarding the Manipur ethnic conflict is overwhelmingly negative, reflecting deep pain, frustration, and disappointment towards the government's response, particularly the Prime Minister's perceived neglect and delayed intervention. There is widespread anger over ongoing violence and a strong desire for peace, justice, and genuine action rather than superficial political gestures. Many commenters emphasize the complexity of the conflict and call for community-led resolutions, expressing a longing for unity amidst division.

Indian Government

Prime Minister Modi

From your experiences and many other's I get a clear indication that this radicalisation is a recent thing.
There will always be some degree of divide but few fill that divide and few deepen it for their own gains.
Fortunately or unfortunately humans have weak memory. They forget things and events with time unless they are made to remember it. 
I hope people of Manipur some day forget about all this which has happened. The youth of the state has to open their eyes and see what their predecessors have done for their future. They all have been sold a war which nobody has asked for. People in grassroots level are concerned about their own life , career and well being untill and unless someone starts to control their fear. 

2024 Olympics are near and I miss the Manipur of Mary Kom ,Meera Bai chanu,Dinko Singh and Bembem Devi.

i grew up in a similar environment with many different communities. there were instances where there were stereotyping and micro-aggressions in speech and behaviour but never the outright hatred that has spread in the last few years. we all got along well. but those same people are now polarised beyond recognition that they don't look like the people i grew up with. it is sad state of affairs all around and i hate it so much.

I have family members, close and extended from the kom, tangkhul, koireng and kuki communities that are quite close knit. Growing up, it exposed me to other cultures, and helped me move away from viewing entire communities through a singular lens.
But the most important thing I learned is how our identities can be a barrier to understanding each other.
My mother was never accepted by my gaudiya meitei grandmother, and was quite mistreated, and I also witnessed how my tribal family members felt about meiteis, especially during this time.
One of my kuki relatives recently posted a horrifically gory video on whatsapp saying ''This is what is coming for meiteis'', while some of my meitei family and friends keep blaming kukis for the violence.
This polarization is extremely sad to witness.

The only Manipuri who I knew throughout my whole childhood was my mother's Kuki colleague, met meiteis and other tribals in 11th grade and tbh you do end up developing a bias through your company. I mean as a sc, we do seem to favour other disadvantaged groups. No matter how much I read into it but I still end up feeling that the tribals are the ones being oppressed even though I don't know what's happening there, if that specific colleague who have turned out to be rude instead of nice maybe my stance would have changed.

All in all it's human nature to favour your own community or those ones that you feel familiar or connected with.

What a lovely post! Wish we could go back to those times when everyone got along and we all cared for each other.

It’s interesting how so many people on this subreddit fantasize about war

The funniest part is that mainland Indians who know nothing about Northeast India are talking about fencing the border. Yeah, good luck buddy. I'm sure that will go over well with the Mizo and Naga people who share family across the border. The whole fence-the-border thing is happening only because of Manipura. It has nothing to do with Mizoram and Nagaland. But the mainland Indians are blindly following it because the Kathes happen to be Hindu majority.

Hear me out......invade them

We should do it only, after we've dealt with our own business and only after we've redeveloped our own military and economy, and only after we got democracy, ofcourse.

Nation without states. I am fking sure , foreign players are present , outside of our knowledge. They are fighting for their freedom , kinda like Kurds. Really wonder , what is the solution for all of these things.

I doubt the majority of Nepali settlers there in any sub-division of Manipur.
And can this map explain anything on Kuki-Meithei conflict hoing in right now.

srmndeep

So where are the reserved forests mainly that the Meiteis have allegedly encroached upon?

idareet60

Kuki territory in kangpokpi is too small and is larger
Southeastern manipur has a huge thadou population 
Anal, chiru,chothe, Kom, lamkang, moyon and monsang are politically Naga but speak kuki chin languages.

Ok. I guess, now as an ex fan of Modi, I suppose he is as bad as pappu. So all these people have advisors and speech writers behind them. I guess the good ones left both.

It is an ethnic conflict between Kukis and Meiteis. Kukis are Christians while majority of meiteis are Hindus. Meiteis are a majority in Manipur and dominant in the capital Imphal whereas Kukis and Nagas are dominant in the hill districts. It is a complex issue dealing with drugs, free movement regime, radicalisation of youths and some civil society groups and state partisanship. There have always been skirmishes between Kukis-Nagas, Meitei-Nagas and now Kukis-Meiteis. Past skirmishes have either been brought under control or at least the state government wasn’t accused of being partisan so there were no governance and administrative paralysis due to it. The current conflict is different, Kukis accuse the Manipur govt of being partisan while Meiteis accuse Kukis of working with insurgent groups. All the three groups have insurgent groups fighting for their self preservation and some being secessionist as well. TBH, Manipur is one of the most politically unstable state in India and since Indian govt doesn’t really care about the NE region, it will remain unstable unfortunately.

Cold-Negotiation9966

If nagas and meiteis hate kukis, doesn't that mean something? If there's so many conflicts in manipur and a particular community is always constant, doesn't that say a lot?

Due-Pressure-4850

Stop thinking it’s religious and u will get ur answer

Long story short.

There is nothing Christian or Hindu, or ethnic angle to it.

Kukis comprised of many tribes, and their main motive is to engulf all under the kuki umbrella. The issue is Kuki supremacists who are calling the shots, all hailing from Myanmar wants a complete state under their control, where their main business of poppy productions can thrive well without any intervention.

Now, the GOI has geopolitical interest. They have extensively signed and used the Kukis for counter insurgency operations particularly against the meiteis and nagas. Then there is the kaladan project, which passes through Myanmar. And it seems GOI doesn't want to disappoint the Kukis.

Whereas meiteis don't have any particular demand of breaking up Manipur. Manipur was annexed into Indian union under a merger agreement 1949, hence it's complicated breaking up the state.

In short, this is cross border terrorism whereby indigenous people (meiteis) are cleansed off under some  shady political advantage.

As the truth cannot be swept underneath, the Kukis ain't getting their separate Kukiland even after 2 years.

This is the main thing.
Kukis want to break up the state. Total autonomy and massive Myanmarese immigrants permanent settlement.

Meiteis - no demand. Just don't break the state. They are indigenous.

aquari84

It is very simple. To be honest, Kuki is not a single ethnic group—it lacks a distinct cultural identity. Rather, it is a nomenclature, meaning anyone can join under the label. This conflict, like others, is linked to their desire to form a separate country, possibly called Zoland or Zogam (they haven't decided yet). This proposed country would include parts of Manipur, Assam, Tripura, Mizoram, and Chittagong in Bangladesh, as well as Chin, Kachin, and western Sagaing in Myanmar.For some reason I don't understand, they’ve even included Arakan. When you list all the conflicts they've been involved in with other communities in India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh, a pattern emerges that aligns with their territorial claims.

The overall conclusion is the ECONOMY:

 Limited resources- those who have Don't want to share it. Those who don't have also don't want to share it with their poor members but dream only to share among themselves, the elites. They fooled the poor to fight for that resource. They use religion to validate the fight.

Drug: in resources, drug is also the primary source, so they want to control it also.

Land: NE people are quite serious about land, coz it's the only source of their livelihood and also shows the dominance of the particular community.

My take - neither land or drug could save them. It's only knowledge that could bring power. Can really uplift a community. Take example of isreal, only true knowledge can make a community f##king deadly never to mess with . Food and items can come without you have land or local resources. 
Poor die, rich become more rich.
