Manipur an ethnic conflict with elements of religious intolerance: Archbishop of Imphal

​@@chatcricket1405 Ever since Modi came to power, religious intolerance has been on the rise. One simply cannot deny this. The Democracy of India, is once again threatened by a hint of Fascism, that is creeping into it's Secular Fabric, created by it's founding fathers. The Modi government rests, not on it's popularity of it's economic performance, not on any other indicator of it's performance, but in the ability to mobilize the population around a devisive communal Hindutva Agenda now, is very prominent in our political conversations today. Take for example, 10 years ago, the defining point of conversation, political conversation, in our country, was Secularism. Even the BIP use to say, look, we are Secular. But genuine Secular Congress, is Secular. But it is Psedose, all other parties are psedocyclic. We are genuinely, genuinely Secular. The point is this, you see, the BJP, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, did not jettison the term Secularism, it was still fighting shy to say that, they were hindu waters. That has been jettisoned by Modi, completely, completely. In fact Hindutva plays upon our base instincts. It plays upon our insecurities. It appeals to the dark side of us. Hindutva is the political creed of the Modi Government. It thrives on skillful manipulation of the base instincts of it's Social and Cultural insecurities, that lie badly concealed beneath the political top soil. India was created on Secularism, it cannot be otherwise. India is a melting pot of religions, with Christianity getting entrenched in 52 AD, Islam, in the 7th Century, Parsis, in the 10th Century, Sikhism, in the 15th Century, Buddhism, in 500 BC, Jainism in 300 BC. Hinduism is a philosophy, not a religion, but we are all Indians first and foremost. India's development, comprised of every indian's effort, irrelevant of his Caste, Creed, Language or Beliefs. Besides, European and Western countries will stop investing into India and what ever outside business there is in India, will be pulled out. Another point is, if Modi's followers go on a killing rampage of Christians and Muslims, you think, there will not be backlashes of Hindus in other countries! Modi's Hindutva is pitting Indian against Indian. Hindus Liberals who believe in India's founding of Secularism, will fight back and we can see this happening now. It will divide India into 3 more pieces, repeating history once again. In his quest for Hindutva, Modi has failed miserably in his Internal Policies, where every Indian, as a citizen of India, is effected as he is creating divisions. It will be a total disaster, if he comes back. The back lash will come from the outside.

@@chatcricket1405 if you speak to any Manipuri today they will tell you all is definitely not well as Modi will have the whole country and world believe. I have watched enough Godi as well as non Godi media channels to get both sides of the story. There were always coverups, ignorance or plain avoidance of the situation in Manipur. When someone doesn't want to tell the truth or wants to cunningly lie all one has to do is watch their body language as they give speeches after speeches that too with a teleprompter. Who or what has prevented Modi from giving a press conference and answering direct questions from non Godi media journalists. If he has nothing to hide shouldn't he be out there answering truthfully instead of giving the whole of India bhashans and only that! We no longer want to listen to his Mann ki baat, it is time for Manipur ki baat! But where was he? Always touring for political mileage and talking about Sabka Saath Saabka Vikas when in reality he doesnt really want the minorities to progress. So dont you dare talk to me about blind criticism. For a change you can start listening to some non Godi media channels and hear what intellectuals and educated people have to say. Do some research of your own and stop playing into the hands of the ruling party, they need people like you to spread their divisive agenda( much like Hitler and the Nazis did).

In Manipur, Meitei people consider their forest sacred..their dieties are in the forest and hills which they have been worshipping since time immemorial. When they are denied entry into the sacred places, its definitely an angle of religion. Clearing their forest is akin to burning places of worship.

[@habibi.Lhouvum]

Stop spreading false propaganda, no one denied y'll to worship in ur sacred places, every year MEITEI goes to KOUBRU for worshipping it's just that y'll started claiming KOUBRU as yours so the KUKIs are against that.. And clearing forest/ cutting down trees doesn't necessarily means they cultivate poppy. The Tribal be it NAGA, KUKI or other tribes they practice Jhum cultivation in which they planted their crops or veggies in the mountains which the valley people get fresh organic vegetable.. If y'll are so concerned about cutting trees or whatever first closed down ur Bricks factory and other factory coz as they used too much woods, and start planting more tress in the valley and please start cleaning up ur smelly Imphal😊

By far, North East was a peaceful region. There were no serious enmities between communities. But a few decades back, hordes of Disruptive elements of Sangh Pariwar associates reportedly sponsored by Nagpur descended on North East. Rather than inculcate human values, they set out to poison the minds of the simple people with religious hatred. As per reports, in the garb of vanavasi kalyaan, endless resources were available to them since 2014. Preaching and propagating one's religion is everyone's right and all are welcome to it. But, spreading hatred to polarize, is bound to create turmoil. So, the present scenario.

There is no kuki conflict in Tripura, There is revolution of Jamatia, Reang revolution during king time. They fought the king both this community loses the conflict. Listen there is no a particular meitei, kuki zo n Naga land. What is mean by instrument of access signing with Indian union, forefathers given whom? Hills areas belongs to hill tribes but right belong to State, Ghar chokti tax is given by hill tribes n general areas belongs the whole population of state. Hills people they had been given tax through state functionaries only land belong to them right is taken by state. That's why most of the government fund can enjoyed by valley people n share to the hill tribes less gorvernmen fund. The hills people have been giving tax through Ghar chokti tax since signing of instrument of acces not by any meitei king or meitei population. Meitei can not claim what ever you want most of meitei residing in general areas the state income tax is enjoy by them only. Both kuki zo n Naga also they don't have rights to claim in hill for a particular community property both this tow community belong to them right belong to State. Right doesn't belong to meitei, kuki, Naga. Both kuki zo n Naga have rights to demand the tax that they have given through Ghar chokti tax it's their constitutional rights.without given tax for hill areas by meitei to state how can they say to someone community illigal migrants. Even in valley illigally both kuki zo n Naga can not build house they have to buy land ligally. Earlier kuki demand is very much their constitutional rights ADC under 6 schedule. Naga demand also their constitutional rights but by having only 10 MLA how will they pass resolution in the state assembly to achieve written constitution solution in a democracy way. By 10 MLA if they can brought both congress n BJP made them failed then union government will surely agree Naga to join nagalim. Meitei alone have 40 seats where no kuki n Naga can pass MLA seats even if they contest in those seats. Naga demand will not be easy they need to have if meitei have 40 seats Naga need atleast 20 MLA seats to trouble both BJP and Congress.
