Manipur Violence

Despite the selected targeting of the Hmar, Kuki, and Zomi tribes by the Meitei community, with the alleged support of state forces since May 2023, Manipur’s crisis has been reported in the media as ‘Meitei vs. Kuki/Kuki-Zo’ clash.  https://thewire.in/politics/manipur-how-misrepresentation-of-hmar-and-zomi-people-made-them-invisible-in-the-conflict 

In 1997, the continual imposition of Kuki identity on smaller tribes resulted in a large-scale conflict between the Kuki and Zomi, leading to death of hundreds, displacement of thousands, and impeding generational economic progress. This implies that self-identification of tribes must be seriously taken into account.

The Rashtrahit Sarvopari Sangathan (RSS) and around 50 Hindu organisations have raised "Chalo Manipur" slogan for "lakhs across the country to go to Kuki areas and rehabilitate displaced Meiteis in their original homes" .

Sohan Giri, founder National president of Rashtrahit Sarvopari Sangathan : For peace to return to Manipur, the RSS leader placed four demands, unanimously adopted by the organisations, before the Government. Sohan Giri said that the Government must update the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Manipur, allow safe return of displaced citizens to their original places, take strong and decisive action against terror activities, and secure the National Highways of Manipur which are vital lifelines for her people. On the need for NRC, Giri asserted that the unchecked and growing issue of illegal immigration has deeply disturbed the demographic structure and it poses longterm threats to the identity and rights of indigenous communities. The Government must implement the NRC in Manipur at the earliest. This is vital to safeguard the rights of the native people and ensure a just and lawful population record,
