#Aritcle: This write-up is just a brief #ethnography. Even this sketchy write-up clearly shows that the #Meitei have long outgrown their #tribal social evolutionary stage long ago. Dragging back the Meitei who developed and attained a #civilization as well as a 'Nation State' centuries ago, to a tribal status is just like turning the clock back, distorting #history and disrespectful of the pride of a #people who have their own #script, language in the eight schedule of the #Constitution and have a #dance form, which is one of India’s few classical dances. #Manipur

#Manipur# To see one's home burnt to ashes and to have the Govt provide prefabricated houses all in a row is just a placebo. Nothing can substitute a home made of one's life's savings where dreams were nurtured and memories created..Why burn villages & homes?

I never feel like journalists should become part of the story. But writing for the record that I’ve faced an avalanche of online trolling since May when the conflict started in Manipur. Coming from the Kuki-Zo community, I have been profiled and singled out only for my ethnicity
All Kukis are illegal immigrant narco terrorists and Sikhs, Khalistanis. Ashamed of this herd mentality in the media and our masses.
We’ve been reduced to name calling based on our colour, caste, gender, religion, and ethnicity.
It’s stifling to live in this environment.
