OPEN, The Wages of Hate|18 Aug

• Kangvai Bazar is a stretch of road of about 2km that runs from Imphal Valley into the Kuki-controlled hills of Churachandpur. This former market town now serves as an unofficial border between these two regions. Moving through it today, one can see only destruction all around. Homes and shops have been flattened and torched; charred remains of vehicles are everywhere. It is like crossing the site of a natural disaster. The bazaar is entirely empty, except for the vast number of troops who now occupy this ghost town. The distance of this stretch of road might measure just a couple of kilometres, but there are at least 15 checkposts, each manned by heavily armed men. We step out again and again, to show our credentials and provide our reasons, the Army constantly checking to see if our driver, a member of the Meitei Pangal, a Muslim group that has remained neutral in this conflict, is indeed from that community. The Meitei Pangals are probably the only group in the state that can travel between these two regions today unharmed.

Kuthar, Fire and Blood|31 Jul

• There have been regular demands for improving infrastructure in the hill districts, but to no avail. The deprivation is visible to anyone who visits these regions, be it the extremely poor roads or the complete absence of streetlights in towns. It is the result of historical neglect—neither the princely state nor the colonial authorities attempted to improve the lives of people in the hills, despite extracting tribute and taxes from them. This did not improve following Independence. For instance, the entire town of Moreh, an important trade entrepôt on the Myanmar border, had only one functional ATM when I visited in early July. Saikul, the largest subdivision in Kangpokpi district, has just two health centres, each staffed by fewer than eight doctors and nurses.

OPEN, The Wages of Hate|18 Aug

• Kangvai Bazar is a stretch of road of about 2km that runs from Imphal Valley into the Kuki-controlled hills of Churachandpur. This former market town now serves as an unofficial border be­tween these two regions. Moving through it today, one can see only destruction all around. Homes and shops have been flattened and torched; charred remains of vehicles are everywhere. It is like cross­ing the site of a natural disaster. The bazaar is entirely empty, except for the vast number of troops who now occupy this ghost town. The distance of this stretch of road might measure just a couple of kilometres, but there are at least 15 checkposts, each manned by heavily armed men. We step out again and again, to show our credentials and provide our reasons, the Army constantly check­ing to see if our driver, a member of the Meitei Pangal, a Muslim group that has remained neutral in this conflict, is indeed from that community. The Meitei Pangals are probably the only group in the state that can travel between these two regions today unharmed.

Of these, 20 cases relate to the offences of rape, molestation and murder of women. One of these cases pertains to a horrific 30-second video clip of two Kuki women being stripped and paraded naked by a mob that prompted the apex court to take suo motu cognisance, and the subsequent hand over of the case to CBI by the Centre on July 28. Among the other seven cases, three are for looting weapons, two for murder, and one case each for rioting and conspiracy.

Pramot Singh, tweet|28 Apr

• Cut down the forest, dry up the rivers, finish them off, meanwhile let's build a homeland, we suffered homelessness since God's time. For the time being let's go with "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" and let's deal with them later. Lets buy their politicians, many of them are on sale. Let's subdue their population, let's bring in more people, in democracy number rules. Do not stop distorting the original history, someday they will get confused. Remember Britishers who installed in colonial India the myth of Aryan theory confuses and divides the sub continent today. Let's listen and follow the advices of our consultants from the "missionary". Constant documentation with fabrication of history is a must now while their intellectuals are silent and their people are sleeping. This is the right time to hit when all our people, young and old, men and women, mainstream politicians and non state actors, rich and poor, are in the height of hoping for a new home, this is our time. Then let's annihilate our traditional rival on the hills and live peacefully thereafter.

The woman decided that, although the Pangals were hiding her, she would be safer among her own people.
