News- Ethnic<\/strong> violence between the Meiteis and the Kukis in Manipur is taking place for some days, especially after the Manipur High Court\u2019s march order. The order asked the State to recommend Scheduled Tribe (ST) status to Meiteis.<\/p>\n

What are the concerns of Kukis that are responsible for conflict?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Manipur High Court asked the State to recommend ST status to Meiteis. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Manipur government had begun a drive to evict tribal villages from reserved forests. It was perceived to be an anti-tribal move<\/strong>. It led to discontent and suspicion<\/strong> among the Kukis and other tribals.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of Kuki tribals have been dislodged from their traditional settlement areas<\/strong> without rehabilitation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the concerns of Meiteis that are responsible for conflict?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Meiteis form 52% of the State\u2019s population<\/strong> but are restricted to 10% of the geographical area.<\/strong>\u00a0 They cannot shift and relocate<\/strong> themselves because of their non-inclusion in the ST category<\/strong> to the hill area.<\/p>\n

Meiteis are concerned that non-inclusion in STs list has deprived them of the right to occupy <\/strong>90% of the territory of the State.<\/p>\n

The land issue<\/strong> is more crucial for them. Meiteis have had a history of violence and struggles before integration with India and acquiring the Hindu tag.<\/p>\n

They formed several insurgent groups<\/strong> such as the People\u2019s Liberation Army, with bases in Bangladesh and Myanmar. They also protested the presence of Mayangs<\/strong> which included Manipur Muslims called Pangals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the way forward to calm the situation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The solution lies in military operations<\/strong>, till the intensity and the spread<\/strong> of the violence is controlled. The Indian Army, the Central Reserve Police Force, the Border Security Force and even the Indian Air Force have been deployed.<\/p>\n

The Centre\u2019s stand and the presence of the Army and central forces are restoring the confidence of the Kukis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The administrative and judicial interventions<\/strong> of the immediate past have proved to be very costly. It is necessary to take care of the sensitivities of the tribals, their susceptibilities<\/strong>. There is a need to undo the damaging steps<\/strong> that have created the trust deficit<\/strong>, which is the root cause for the turmoil now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
