"Nowhere else in India in its history have mortars been fired by civilian groups and pitched battles, with bunkers, created by two ethnic groups," Sushant Singh, a senior fellow at the New Delhi-based Centre for Policy Research and two-decade Indian Army veteran, tellsAn armed man claiming to be a volunteer demonstrates the working of a weapon at a makeshift camp on a hilltop at Churachandpur district, a stronghold of the Kuki tribe, in the northeastern state of Manipur, on July 24.
But Baruah argued that"it is not just that the Modi government has been unable to stabilize the situation; it has been reluctant to use the standard policy tools available for this purpose." These include the"President's rule" emergency edict employed in Kashmir to give the central government sweeping authorities in a state whose local government has been deemed dysfunctional.
Sitlhou explained how the Manipur leader had initially presented himself as a proponent of reconciliation between the largely valley-based Meitei and hillside-residing Kuki-Zo, a position that put him at odds with both the BJP and Manipur's Meitei majority.
