The anti-India insurgency in Manipur threw its weight behind reviving pre-Hindu cultural traditions and faith among the Meitei, excluding groups like the Kuki and Naga.
Kuki-Zo & Zomi civil society groups welcome the move, but maintain demand for separate administration, Meiteis term it ‘deliberate ploy’ to push ‘state further into turmoil’.
The sigh of relief from the Kuki--Zo-Hmar group at the declaration of President’s Rule in Manipur was almost a whoop of victory. But the Meitei community has taken a completely contrary stance.
The unit will include representatives from Manipur Police, CAPF, Assam Rifles & army. Data shows over 200, mainly from Meitei-dominated Imphal Valley, have been arrested for extortion.
The team probing murder & heinous crimes has made arrests in 3.7% cases since the onset of violence & closed 27.7%. The one probing sexual assault made only 2 arrests.

Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
