The 2014-2015 Conflict: A Case Study
From 1993 to 2015, Manipur experienced significant conflicts, many initiated by the Indian National Congress. The Naga-Kuki conflict of 1993-1997 led to 750 deaths, while sporadic incidents persisted for ten years. The Meitei-Pangal conflict in 1997-98 resulted in over 100 deaths. However, the opposition never visited during these periods, exacerbating Manipur’s wounds.
The Indian National Congress’ focus on ethnic and regional divisions led to ongoing tensions that some view as promoting division rather than peaceful transition.
