The deafening silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has grievously hurt the people of Manipur. The people of Manipur feel that Modi and his BJP government at the Centre have completely abdicated their Constitutional responsibility to address the complete breakdown of law and order, extensive human tragedy, displacement and dislocation that the violence entailed in Manipur since May 3.

Central govt not serious about resolving Manipur violence2023 •
Towards the end of May when both the Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande and Union Minister of Home Affairs Amit A Shah visited Manipur, it was widely expected that normalcy would return to Manipur. The idea and practice of 'buffer zones' which emerged from these visits was expected not only to insulate the hills from aggressive militant attacks from the valley areas but also to establish a semblance of law and order pending a political solution to the impasse. Although the buffer zones considerably helped in securing the hills from violent armed attacks, they have not succeeded in establishing peace. The opportunity for peace and normalcy was lost because the state government continues to play a partisan role in the violence. The central government also does not seem to be serious in resolving the conflict. It prevaricates on the question of effecting a change of state-level leadership or on the imposition of President's rule in the state.

A critical juncture in Manipur2023 •
As suspicion and distrust in Manipur run deep, returning to the status quo ante is now widely seen as amounting to a Hobson's choice. The demand for a separate administration and for the protection of the territorial integrity of Manipur override the differences within and across the segmented Kuki-Zo and Meitei societies. The road to a separate administration will naturally be a bumpy one. And despite the grandstanding of the Biren Singh-led BJP government and the position taken by Meitei frontal organisations on the “inviolability” of borders, effecting a change of Manipur’s border lies outside the exclusive preserve of the State.

Why Manipur Is up in Flames2023 •
The recent wave of violence between the Meitei and the Zo people in Manipur, which started on May 3, is a culmination of an aggressive majoritarian and integrationist project that the Biren Singh-led BJP government has undertaken since coming to power in March 2017 for short-term electoral gains. This project skillfully mixes a radical neo-Meitei indigenous religion (Sanamahi) and majoritarian appeal with developmentalist politics to either sidestep or dissolve extant sub-state constitutional asymmetry that the hill tribal people enjoy under Article 371C, the district councils and land rights.

In Manipur, situation is ripe to initiate a gradual downgrading of the Army deployment and let the state police take over the counter-insurgency (COIN) responsibilities.

Manipur is a state in India’s north-eastern region with deep ethnic divide between the hills and valley on the one hand, and among the three major communities—Meiteis, Nagas and Kukis—on the other. In the 1990s, the state have seen a series of bloodshed including the Kuki-Naga ethnic clash, the clash between Meiteis and Meitei-Pangals, the Thadou-Paite (Kuki-Zomi) clash, and the Kuki-Tamil clash leaving more than a thousand people death. Since then, ethnic tension continue to haunt the state’s major communities from time to time. The ethnic Kuki and Naga tribes often comes together against the state and the majority Meitei community on issues related with tribals rights but are also at loggerhead when it comes to demand for ethnic homeland. With this background, the present paper attempts to understand the ethnic divide in Manipur with evidences from recent developments in the state.
