Manipur

Is communalism raising its ugly head in Manipur? Yes ! And in the vehement denial is the hidden fear, the realisation of the danger that will continue to threaten the people of the state, much more than any other divisive force that the state is suffering through. It is a sensitive issue, an emotive one too. But the deadly confrontations between the tribals (Nagas)and the plain-dwellers (Meiteis)in the recent past and the degree of distrust expressed on all agendas that otherwise were essentially Manipuris, are loud and clear for all to see and notice.
