[@christopherpaul4698]

Hard Hit . Heard It ? Anglofy eyes Anglo Party INC and Anglo Nostromo Pakenstein . Expl : Anglofy - Anglo 5 Anglofy eyes - all seeing Intelligence ( MI5, MI6 being the mother of all ) of Anglo UK , USA , Canada , Australia and New Zealand . Anglo Party INC - UK Scotsman Allan Octavio Hume was deputed by the British to form the Indian National Congress INC , formed in 1885 during British rule in India . Tbe British firmly believed that India and Indians were utterly incapable of managing themselves let alone forming a political party or running a government and nation . Thanks to systematic destruction of India and Indians by the British after what Lord Macualay said about India . Nostromo - Italian - means Our Man , like Man Friday of Robinson Crusoe novel . Pakenstein is a monster called Pakistan created by British by criminally Partitioning India . Portmanteau of Pakistan + Frankenstein = Pakenstein . Frankenstein novel by Mary Shelly. ( Btw , in the novel , Frankenstein murders his inventor's wife . In real life Pakenstein mudered UK's wife USA on 911 ) Anglos are world famous for Divide and Rule which they did during it's Colonial years . Anglophile Italian Rahul of INC follows his masters in Divide and Rule of India to this date .

[@Thangneo-1976]

What to do. We lived together for 1000s of years. But the recent hate speech against the Kuki community by the majoritarian community that leads to the present crisis. Their CM didn't stop the violence right from the beginning. He didn't use forces. He let the killings to continue. Meira paibis shouted to annihilate the Kukis. Now don't blame the Kukis. All hate politics

[@christopherpaul4698]

Main culprit is Pakistan/ISI and Cross Border Kuki terrorists under their control who set fire to Meitei Houses on 3/5 2023 when ATSUM protest reached Churachandpur a Kuki Majority District.

[@SanatombaIrungbam-v4v]

[@ginneochkuki]

Nobody is going to break Manipur but Rather We Kuki want to live seperately not with Meiteis Rapists Anymore in Manipur. Got my Point.

[@digiplus5393]

But meiteis have already driven out kukis from the valleys & now they are already divided

[@gabriel-bx3qy]

@@digiplus5393 it was a retaliation to what the kukis did in kuki dominated districts....all in all....wounds will heal divide will fall....those who don't want to stand in the line will be made to do so because the state of Manipur is not formed by the Indian govt like mizoram and nagaland...an independent kingdom Manipur joined India with the merger agreement with several conditions....

[@kumamdhiren8981]

I salute our sister Binalaskhmi Nepram❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@chan_khudai]

I feel her pain. Nonetheless, she's a Meitei. There is always a thin line favouring Meitei which is quite understandable. Meitei and Kuki community have tried so hard from the time we became aware of history to write history for their own benefit with lies. How can they trust each other? Now, including the Delhi, we are confused whose story do we take? This is the first and one of the main reason why this conflict will never end. Secondly, both community's greed for land is beyond human understanding. Both want lands that don't belong to them. Kuki is unfortunately recorded as refugees in the Manipur known history. While Meitei has only 700 sq kms of land. It's a fact. So, Meitei will never give Churachandpur which Kuki claim as theirs. This is another reason that will not allow this conflict to end anytime soon, not in our lifetime. Because vast majority of the so called Manipur state landmass in terms of the Hills belong to the Nagas. Meitei's interest; they want to expand their inhabitants across the so called Manipur state territory by becoming a Schedule Tribe, since the current social status of General Category does not allow them to buy land and settle in the Tribal land of the Hills. By any means, Meitei will try to befriend Nagas and live together although their greed for political power and economic selfishness will never allow them to. They use the common term 'Manipur Integrity', to gain general public (Delhi's) favour to achieve this, as if Nagas are fools. So, these few 2-3 reasons are the core issues that this conflict will never end. I better keep myself shut but then, everyone knows this. The general Indian public and media will simply play around and entertain a lot of interviews and opinions from the wannabe experts, they will never touch the core issues. Sadly, this has caused enumerous pain in both the community and irreparable damage. The best is to live separately. Kuki will have to spread across the cities of India apart from Churachandpur and Meitei have to settle in the 700 sq kms since you don't want equal political and economic development with the Hills.

Kukis don't want sovereign Country but a state of their own within India. It is the Meetei who are fighting for sovereign country named 'Kangleipak'. Do you even know Hindi Movies are banned in theatre since decades in Manipur by Meetei organisation? Please learn the truth before commenting.

[@weskinnongsiej2650]

Fantastic Journalist,Bina 👍 you are great. As per my observation, conflicts in Manipur are beyond human resolving tasks, but only when both community/all people in Manipur will humble themselves and pray, seeking God's direction/God's will/God's face and turn from their sinful nature/wicked ways what they had done, then God through the Holy Ghost, in the Name of Jesus Christ who is the Almighty omnipresent, omnipotent and benevolent. Then God will hear from Heaven & He will forgive their wicked ways and heal this beautiful State. ❤ From Meghalaya India 🙏🙏🙏

Political turmoil in Manipur to end up immediately and restore peace

[@KamSiam-nr7iv]

Dear Binalakhsmi, We should stop blaming the centre govt. The problems start from those people in power in Imphal is now evidently clear. Let us not expect PM of India to come and solve the problems Manipur is in. The person in power and his followers are the ones creating this problem. I am pretty sure the Jiribam incidents were pre-planned from those people in power from Imphal, the killings of those helpless meitei women will also lead to Imphal and your community only.
