This is getting so little coverage and no-one seems to care. What the fuck is happening?
It’s between India and China, some of the ethnic groups want independence either from india, or as separate indian states, and the PM is a hindu nationalist so he’s fine seeing them suffer so long as nothing changes.
China is suspected of helping by sending people over from Myanmar, one of their satellites.
If this was in a more important place it could start ww3, but right now everyone is happy to just watch people die there.
At least check what the conflict is about…
While I personally don’t like the BJP and they are at fault to some extent, this conflict has nothing to do with Hindu nationalists. This is about ethnic groups, people from different religions can belong to same ethnic group.
There had been rising tension between the two communities for the past few years, which sparked into a full grown conflict when the High Court of the state ordered the state government to make a decision regarding the reservation status of the majority community.
The state government didn’t end up making a decision in the given timeframe, but both communities were up in arms about it, the majority community in favour and the minority community against it, this resulted in small skirmishes followed by a full on conflict.
The state government is BJP, he arrested a journalist for sedition for calling him a puppet of Modi.
He’s a puppet of Modi.
If you want me to say it’s not about Hinduism per se, I acknowledge that, but it’s the BJP being the BJP, and it’s definitely nationalism.
this conflict has nothing to do with Hindu nationalists
It has everything to do with Hindu nationalists.
PM is a Hindu nationalist. CM of Manipur is a Hindu nationalists. He gave support to largely Hindu Meiteis against largely Christian Kukis in the Manipur. Basically they are garnering Hindu vote to ensure future electoral victory just like in Gujarat.

Siege on Manipur: Hindu Nationalists’ War for Ethnic Supremacy
It’s wilful ignorance to claim Manipur conflict is just about ethnicity. Only Hindu extremist media outlets claim it’s not about religion to mislead everyone.

Our world really suck.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The four men kneeling in the makeshift bunker face out over a lush green paddy field, their guns resting on a wall of cement sacks.
A sense of fear is all pervasive in Manipur since shocking violence between their community and minority Kuki groups broke out, marked by brutal killings and sexual crimes against women.
In both Meitei and Kuki areas near the de facto borders we frequently saw civilians walking freely with weapons, sometimes even in the presence of police and security forces.
The Manipur Police and Assam Rifles didn’t reply to BBC questions about whether they have sided with either community and why all armed civilians were not being apprehended and checked for licences.
One day later a video surfaced of him, kneeling on the ground, hands tied behind his back, his face bloodied, crying as he’s beaten by a group of men.
With the help of people from his community, her father Kulajit Hijam claims they found the boy’s phone was turned on a few days later with a Sim card registered in the name of a Kuki woman.
