Cycle of violence: On Manipur, the persistence of hostilities
The Hindu·3h ago·Fear
What Happened
Manipur remains trapped in ethnic violence following an April bombing in Bishnupur district killing two children. Allegations against Kuki groups, denied by them, triggered valley protests and renewed violence. Disinformation compounds the crisis as hardened stances persist among communities despite Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh's moderate approach toward peace and normalisation.
