Why is India’s Manipur burning for three years?

What Happened

Violence has reignited in India's northeastern Manipur state after a bomb blast killed two children on April 7, intensifying the three-year ethnic conflict between Hindu Meitei and Christian Kuki-Zo communities. At least seven people have died since violence resumed. Despite federal intervention and leadership changes, the Modi government has failed to resolve deep communal divisions that have segregated the valley-hill populations.
