Why #ManipurOnFire?

Manipur has 3 major ethnical groups:
1. Meitei
2. Naga
3. Kuki

Meitei are mostly Hindus while
Naga & Kuki follows Christianity.

The current ongoing violence at Manipur is by Christian Naga and Kuki against Hindu Meitei.

1/5 Image
In 1949, Meitei were 64% in Manipur.

Religious Population:
Hindu ~ 50%
Christian ~ 35-40%

Since religion doesn’t matter for declaration under Scheduled Tribe,
Meitei approached High Court of Manipur seeking reservation in Scheduled Tribe category.

So why #ManipurOnFire?

2/5 Image
Manipur High Court ruled in favour of Meitei:

>Asked Govt of Manipur to make a committee & consider granting them reservation in Scheduled Tribe.

>Meitei to get rights to buy land in Hills which is dominated by Naga & Kuki.

So Meitei are attacked!
