The future of Manipur:
The future of Manipur is uncertain. The violence has been ongoing for months, and there is no sign of it ending soon. The video of the two women being paraded naked has added to the sense of shock and outrage, and it is unclear how the government will be able to restore peace to the state.
The violence in Manipur is a reminder of the deep-seated divisions that exist in the state. The Kuki and Zomi communities have been fighting over land and resources for decades, and the violence is a reflection of this conflict.
The government will need to take steps to address the underlying causes of the violence if it wants to bring peace to Manipur. This will require addressing the issue of land rights, as well as the lack of development in the state.
The violence in Manipur is a tragedy, and it is a reminder of the importance of peace and tolerance. The government must take action to bring peace to the state, and it must do so in a way that addresses the underlying causes of the violence.
