What happened in Manipur?

• In May, in the state of Manipur, fierce clashes began between different ethnic groups after a court decision that the government is obliged to consider the issue of providing special benefits to the representatives of the Maith nations, which make up the majority of the population.

• The representative of other ethnic groups expressed fears that they will lose control of the lands of their ancestors if Matei receive the status of the tribe.

• Matees live in a more developed valley area of ​​Manipur, while the Cook and Naga tribes are in the poorly developed mountain units of the state.

• The status of the tribe allows you to smooth out structural inequality and discrimination of ethnic minorities: quotas for some state and elected positions and places in colleges are allocated for them.

• Violence broke out on May 3 after the march of the solidarity of tribes, organized by the all -tribal student union of Manipur.

• From the beginning of the clashes, at least 125 people were killed , more than 40 thousand forced to leave their homes.

• The Indian state Manipur borders with Myanmar. Three million people live in the state, and in all in India - 1.4 billion.
