Manipur On Knife’s Edge After 4 Weeks Of Riots, Murder & Ethnic Cleansing, Years Of Progress At Risk

With more than 80 dead and about 35,000 fleeing home, recent violence in multi-ethnic Manipur, one of India’s most diverse states, has shattered years of tenuous coexistence and fractured bonds between majority Metei and tribal communities.

New Delhi’s apathy means there will be more Manipurs

'Things serious even here. Gun shots of varying calibres. Bells calling people to action. Shoot at sight orders. Not clear what’s happening'.
