Why the govt did not end the violence in Manipur?
The Kuki tribal community and the Meitei people have been engaged in violent conflict for the past three months in Manipur. The division of quotas and tribal economic benefits is the source of conflict between the members of the two communities. The violence has not been stopped despite all attempts.To stop the violence in Manipur, Union home minister amit shah camped for several days. The Ministry of home Affairs established a Peace Committee, headed by governor Anusuiya Uikey, to restore peace. However, significant civic organisations from the Kuki and Meitei communities cut relations with the Peace Committee for a variety of reasons. The ministry's newly formed peace committee has been a total disaster.Additionally, the government is secretly engaging with Kuki rebel groups and Meitei civil society. Talking to both sides is being attempted to stop the violence, but it appears that this will take some time to establish confidence between them. Only once the administration has earned the trust of all parties will negotiations or attempts at peacemaking be successful.Territorial integrity is something that the Meitei community and the government of Manipur will never compromise on. The Kuki community, however, asserts that the Meitei people, who comprise 40 of the assembly's 60 members, are politically dominant. The Kuki society is requesting a separate administration in such a circumstance.Meitei and Kuki share a lack of confidence in the security apparatus. The Kuki community charged bias against the Manipur police. The Meitei community continued to have mistrust towards the assam Rifles. In actuality, the central forces are unable to rule the state indefinitely. In such a scenario, the state's police force would be in charge of maintaining peace and order, while the assam Rifles would be in charge of securing the data-border with Myanmar.
