Causes of Manipur Violence
The immediate provocation for the ethnic unrest appears to have been the demand for the Meitei community, which accounts for 53% of #Manipur's population and primarily inhabits the Manipur Valley, to be included in the ST list.

But that is only a proximate cause. The underlying anger, simmering for a long time, has other reasons.
These are linked not just to the Govt's clampdown on reserved and protected forests in the State's hill areas but also to the Kukis' feeling of being persecuted.
