@24:52 Only 2 Assam Rifles battalion was shifted to Jammu and Kashmir because of the need for more manpower. Other Assam Rifles battalions are still stationed in Manipur. Please educate your experts.
@24:59 what's the issue with exchanging ASSAM Rifles with another Indian military force like CRPF? Does Kuki-zo have some personal relationships with Assam rifles? The end goal of the Central government is to summon neutral forces to stop the violence, so what if CRPF came in place of Assam Rifles which appears neutral to Meiteis? Kuki-zo don't have any allegations against CRPF like the Meiteis have with Assam Rifles? What are you experts talking about? Shameful experts.
If you know the ground reality why Kuki demand UT or separate administration then, for sure, you will be against their will, although it's a democratic demand. Meitei know's it, that's why they are against their will (against those poppy cultivators, smugglers, natural forest destroyer). Also, Manipur merged into the union of India under Merger Agreement on 21 Sept 1949. Don't try to bifurcate the state, instead focus on admintrative reforms and its mechanism.
What Changed after President Rule Does Methi Get wright to Buy Land on Hills....🤔🤔. Kukis (Western Culture) Started Protest against the Rights of Methis . 🤬🤬🤬🤔🤔🤔
These people Making it next level... This is what i have seen in my old college days, now it is finally appeared on the digital media.... Very much appreciated
Listening to this podcast while on the frontlines, I'm filled with a sense of longing for the war to end soon, so I can lay down my arms and rebuild my life😢.
This group of teacher who while coming together to build next generation bureaucrats are releasing this episode. They gave a clear blueprint of how to begin with the process of a solution. If they had been given the power, i believe the problem would have been long gone. Thank you so much🙏
The retired Chief Justice of Manipur High Court, Shri Siddharth Mridul, said some days back, "It is most unfair to characterise an order -- the order passed by the Manipur High Court as being responsible for all the violence in Manipur. It is not. Far from it. It is most unfair for anybody to even suggest it ... The order was simply asking the State government to respond to an earlier communication from the Central government and seeking a socio-economic report on whether Meiteis could be considered for the list of Scheduled Tribes. Nothing more nothing less. It was not a direction as was made out that the High Court directed that Meiteis be included in the category of Scheduled Tribes. There was no such direction". Before this, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, GOI, wrote a letter dated 29th May 2013 asking the Manipur government to furnish specific recommendations along with the latest socio-economic survey and ethnography report by an organisation of repute for consideration of the proposal for inclusion of Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribes list of Manipur. (The Manipur government sits on the file for more than ten years without giving any reply whatsoever). The Census of India 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1931 recorded the Meitei as a forest tribe, main tribe, Hindu tribe etc. Only from the Census in 1951 was the Meitei mistakenly delisted without assigning any reason thereof either to the State government or the general public in gazette notifications. Major-General Sir James Johnstone, KCSI, the Political Agent in Manipur (1877-1886) wrote, "The Kukis are a wandering race consisting of several tribes who have long been working up from the South. They were first heard of as Kukis, in Manipur, between 1830 and 1840". (Page 25, Manipur and The Naga Hills by Sir James Johnstone. Cultural Publishing House, 18-D, Kamla Nagar, Delhi 110007). He further added, "Their original home cannot be correctly ascertained, but there seem to be traces of them as far south as the Malay peninsula". (Page 27). There are many books written by the British administrators and researchers on Manipur and her people. Some of them, among others, are Account of the Valley of Munnipore by Major McCulloch, Political Agent in Manipur (1863-1867); Account of Manipur and the Hill Territory by R Brown, Political Agent in Manipur (1867-1875); The Lushei Kuki Clans by Lt-Col Shakespear the PA in Manipur (1905-1908) and (1909- 19014); Gazetteer of Manipur by EW Dun; The Meitheis by TC Hodson, Asst. PA and Superintendent of the State, Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute; My Three Years in Manipur by Ethel Clair Grimwood (the wife of the ill-fated Political Agent in Manipur, Mr Grimwood, who met a tragic death along with the Chief Commissioner of undivided Assam Mr James Wallace Quinton on March 24, 1891 at Kangla. On her return to England, she was honoured by the Queen with a Red Cross for serving in Manipur under the most adverse circumstances). None of the books mentioned above ever reported the Kukis as aboriginal and original inhabitants of Manipur. Moreover, the Kuki-Zo tribes claimed themselves to be one of the ten lost tribes of Israel called Bnei Menashe. Led by some elders like LS Thangjom, a retired IAS, they reached Israel and the Israeli government accepted their claims giving them citizenships. Around 5,000 of them have already immigrated, as reported by Jordyn Haime in The Times of Israel dated October 6, 2023. God bless them.
@@eimisavageofficial9196what lie?? Why dont u and your peoples read those historical books which is 100 200 years old instead of ur fake claims published by ur so called writers.
@@XMINKuki funny Burmese refugees calling indigenous Meiteis as Bangladeshi... Burmese won't know who the real manipuris are... There was, is, will be no Kukiland in Manipur whatsoever
know your place, your ancestors kuki were used as slaves by Manipuri kings and also king and tribal chief of many communities, they were brought Manipur as slaves it's not their birthplace, there's not kooland or kukiland in the past, Jaintia, Ahoms, Manipur kingdoms ruled N.E
Same thing happened with us (Bishnupriya Manipuri) originated from Bishnupur (Lumlangdong). Meitei discriminated against us and forced us to leave the valley. They call us Mayang(foreigner) and copycats just cz we don’t speak their language although we share the same traditions. Now we are separated from our motherland due to Meitei and our history has been vanished. Meanwhile kukis have been hospitable and very good to us. Meitei wants to have monopoly over Manipur. They treat non Meiteis as 3rd class citizens. The voice of Kuki and Naga people should be heard
Meiteis perception on Manipur as the state for meiteis alone (exclusively) is one of the factors instigating the violence. India and the world must know that meiteis are not only the original inhabitants of Manipur. Since time inmemorial meiteis lived in the valley and Kuki and Naga lived in the hills. And one thing that hurt my sentiment is to see meitei fellows terming all of us(Kuki) as illegal immigrants or foreigners. No matter what we will keep fighting for our ancestral land and rights till the very last drop of our blood. We fought against the British during 1917-19 unlike the meiteis in valley who were aligned with colonial government under the leadership of meiteis king Maharaja Bodhachandra. None can deny the fact that hills belonged to the tribals- Kuki and Nagas... Lastly thanks to Unacademy educators for the unbiased analysis and informative/constructive podcast on the issue of Manipur... You are taking the role of what state and centre govt. supposed to do long ago... Im Kuki, Im Indian and till our last breath we will fight for our ancestral land and freedom... Separate Union territory or a separate state for the kuki will be the only solution for peace... Thank you ❤👏
@@P.Kuki_Simplicity_Humility you've stated some points which is more inclined towards a sense of tribal unity (which is good) but in fact is virtually non existent the birth of Kuki militia from the British now the Indian government was aimed at fighting both Naga and meitei armed groups which the Kuki being in hills had better knowledge of terrain and geography. No we do not belive as manipur belongs to only meitei without pangal we would be eating grass without Maram Thangal maring we would have died long time ago as they protected us from invasions from east words. Tengnoupal being a very important point in war history of manipur. Certain parts of Manipuri from kakching district worship a Naga diety in uyok hill range. Naga and Kuki have not lived from time memorial tribes under Naga and Kuki did which is not clear now to this day you ask chothe some will say Kuki and other will say Naga. You lable us as rapist when certain section of people who were responsible were punished for their crimes by meitei. First step is to support NRC contribute in destroying poppy which cultivation as a Indian. Which I haven't seen in last 15 months. That's not your ancestral lands tribes under Kuki nomenclature has lived with us not denying that but Kuki which terminology appeared in early 1910. We didnt aligned with colonial government every community died and suffered be it Naga Muslim or meitei. A war with British with location in Naga dominated area which NPF has openly condemnd. Hill valley River ocean all belongs to Manipuri. Using terminology as hill kuki&naga Indian when your actions are facist well no wonder with ITLF AND COTU organisation with using words as indeginous tribal to gain sympathy.

My family lives in jiribam district and they support Kuki people. Meitei are the worst of Manipur and want to have monopoly over Manipur. They treat non Meiteis as 3rd class citizens. The voice of Kuki and Naga people should be heard
Lol is that why u hill ppl hv been allowed by meiteis to settle in d valley. Let me make it clear for the people. The hill people of manipur tht is d nagas n kukis have d perception tht Manipur is for all n whn it comes to land they feel entitlement to live n buy land in meiteis area all while blaming meiteis of trying to take their land. This self entitlement attitude hv been d reason for denying meiteis ryt n stealing meiteis land from d valley for ages. Talk about being greedy whn all they hv been doing is taking n not reciprocating
@@MohanKrishna-m4f historical these guys are not adequate knowledge manipur was independent kingdom/country before 1949 September 21 manipur was adopt constitutional monarchy and held election in 1948 through universal adult franchise before India (1951_52) Nagaland was separate from Assam don't compare mizoram/Nagaland and manipur. Anglo kuki rebellion created history was wrong kuki chief was used by meitei sanajaoba to revolt against his brother king of manipur than kuki chief apologise to king 🤴. Kuki want separate from India after they got UT or state . They wanted to create Christian country. Separatist idea not Indian constitutional flexibility. I asked one question why in manipur Hindu population was drastically declining whereas Christian population was increase and nevertheless meitei population was declined and kuki population was drastically increase why???????????????????
Just few points: 1. Meiteis already claim major chunk of reservation- SC (15%), OBC (27%) and EWS (10%), and now they even want the small pie of STs' (7.5%). 2. Hill towns like Lamka (Ccpur), Kanggui, Chandel and Senapati are geographically and topographically not different from Imphal valley. In fact they can be said to be a contiguous extension of Imphal Valley. Hence, they are not very challenging to develop like Imphal. Just a lack of political will: the seize of development and development funds by majority Meiteis. 3. Nagas and Kukis are forced to go to valley because they don't enjoy even a fragment of development the Imphal valley has. Every year, 75-80% of budgets are emptied and concentrated within Imphal Valley only. 4. Very imp: Kukis have never demanded for a 'separate' country- they want separate administration (be it State or UT with legislature), unlike the NSCN or Meitei terror groups. 5. No one misunderstood Manipur HC's order. When the entirety of the majoritarian (Meitei) state mechanism is favouring Meiteis, and lastly even the HC allegedly joins that bandwagon - this was perceived as Infiltration of Meitei agenda even into the judiciary (As we all know, recognition or deletion of STs is entirely the discretion/pleasure of the Prez) 6. 90% of Manipur area, which are mountainous and protected under constitutional provisions are 'sitting-ducks" for Nagas and Kukis economically. this is because, these mountainous 'plots' do not come under Patta System/Private Ownership and hence can't be used as collaterals to even claim 1 rupee loans, nor can the people start commercial exploitation of natural resources (prohibition, tribals financially poor, and cultural roots and values rooted in environmental conservation and consciousness)... etc etc... You cannot force a wife victim to domestic violence to go back to her husband after facing brutality and violence at the hands of her husband. If the wife asks for divorce, then divorcement is The solution. The Meiteis here are the aggressor husband, and the Kukis the victimised wife. The Kukis want divorce from Manipur, and their cries of justice must be heard. Justice via political Separation. #SeparateAdministration is the true and only justice. If you force them to go back, can you ensure that Meitei brutality won't be unleashed again? Will you take responsibility and accountability for any future deaths or violence arising after cramping them back together via 'forced normalcy'? But all in all, albeit delayed 19 months, you decide to address this burning topic. So at least that's KUDOS!!...the NE, esp Manipur right now deserves more discourses and attention from across all section of the populace.
Don't manipulate data n blamed the other community. All laws in Manipur are made by GoI, all MKAs from kukis, nagas, meiteis, pangal. Whatever your kuki MLAs misappropriate your developmental funds cannot be blamed to the meiteis.
...what are u trying to convey/say/,... this is not something history...without historians'...come up with positive mindset...ultimately things will come to normalcy(but out of love...)
Kuki National Assembly (KNA) a Kuki political party submitted to Pt Nehru, the 1st PM of India demanding Separate Kuki State in 1963. The demands continue now, in the form of UT with Legislature.
Thanks for accentuating Manipur issues. There are misconceptions that Meitei can't buy lands in tribal areas.If they can't buy land they would not be settled in kuki dominated hill areas such as Churachandpur,Chandel and Moreh (as pointed out by Chetan Sir). There is Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (MLR & LR) Act 1960 through which meitei can buy land in tribal areas.This act is partly introduced in tribal areas mainly in Kuki areas but it couldn't be implemented in Naga areas because Naga opposed it.That is why,there is no meitei villages in Naga areas. For further reading,there is a book called Tribal Land System of Manipur published by the Centre for Manipur Studies and written by meitei P Devi.
who said there is no meitei village in nagas area and remember there is a meitei village in churachandpur but they dont own the land And remember who saved kuki from naga in 1993 ... even dogs are loyal to their owner ...
@@AstromuonKuki Can Meiteis buy land in the hills now? No. It was only a colonial act which introduced this hill-valley concept, or rather divide. All these Meitei settlements existed much before these arrangements. But ethnic pogrom of a certain community to establish their hegemony by clearing these settlements started some decades ago only. Once Naga dominated districts are now, settled by your community. This allows the "We are already divided physically, so separate administration is only solution" narrative.
Crazy??? Those Meetei who settled in the hills either predate the arrival of Kukis and the introduction of the MLR Act. This land is patta land. Now, Meetei categorized as General, SC, or OBC cannot buy land in more than 90% of the area. The so-called Imphal valley, less than 8% of the total area, is home to Kuki, Naga, Muslim, Nepali, Bengali, Punjabi, and others. Is this land distribution fair?
How much does meitei has in ccpur .....hardly 1500patas may be after that they stop selling to meitei....but how many patas of kuki are there in mainland imphal do you know......shame on the kuki refugee
This is just a word, that Meitei can Buy land in Churachandpur. Olden days yes (1970s to 1980s) even this was done with difficulty. But now, Can you even tell one Meitei buying land in Churachandpur.( Not owned by the Meitei). Your tribal Under ground and those officers working in the revenue department make sure that it can't be bought by any meitei. Leave buying of Land. Just trying to register an Association by the name 'Khumujamba Pattadar association' just coz there is a word 'Pattadar' in the association Name it was opposed by the Tribal Chief association in Churachandpur. ( You guys are rotten inside, there is a saying if you can sit you can also laydown and sleep, this is the nature of Kuki):
I'm from Manipur and I want to add some points###Its not about meitei and kuki ### FACT## 1. Manipur Merger Agreement, 1949 Agreement made this twenty first day of September, 1949 between the Governor General of India and his Highness, the Maharajah of Manipur. Whereas in the best interests of the State of Manipur as well as of the Dominion of India it is desirable to provide for the administration of the said State by or under the authority of the Dominion Government. Were we manipuri under the India goverment to devide our land ?... And I wanna say ... Its enough to devide our land ..{ Kabaw valley was exchanged with Andaman and Nicobar island by the prime minister of India then Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru for the security reason. The agreement of the kabaw valley was one of the most betrayal to the manipuris by the Nehru and Government of India. Do we really need another betrayal from India? 2. according to your discussion ' India is a democratic country so if any particular group of people want a separate administration and if the crisis goining on would be solve by giving those demand '...will you guys divide India into two part? if they ask to divide India? its same goes to Manipur 3. the reality of the manipur is that the illegal immigrants{ this is the main reason} come from another place are not JUST coming to survived ......they are coming Manipur to SMUGGLING , to plant POPPY , DEFORESTATION etc ....Its not about ST status ...they are bringing these topic just to divert the topic of SMUGGLING and to plant POPPY.... The CM of Manipur just banned their activity I mean Poppy plantation and other things because of this they want free movement ,,, imagine if the smuggler rule the new state or UT .. what will happened.. do you think our Indian forces will solve? If you think so , please discuss one more about Manipur.. now in our state manipur above 20 thousands Arm forces are in Manipur and some of them are guarding local MLAs ..there many army officers who have been doing right things .. we are very happy to with them and staying with us to protect the integrity of our land.
@@cowboy1991ifi why don't you say KUKI'S are poppy planters, REFUGEES that came on 1840s and needs to pay taxes to stay in Naga areas as per document's just to stay?
@@PriyoKshetrimayum-o8e your na**y mindset stick only on poppy which is very unfortunate for ur Limited knowledge. Its all about the greediness of some lunatic like you who never venture large aspect when things surface. Dig more, gain knowledge and shut your greedy sense.
@@cowboy1991ifi The area is well recorded, as 22,327 sq. Km or 8621 sq. Miles in the original merger agreement and many other original documents. Only Illegal Kuki refugees and ignorant fools will believe in some social media propaganda of 700 sq. Miles written in a book by a Kuki militant leader.
Out of 112 freedom fighter in Manipur morethan 80 names were KUKI who fought for our motherland.but then Meiteis were jealous trying to annihilate the KUKI people as well as our historical records they burnt down everything in Imphal.
They are not freedom fighter. They are daicot who looted Naga village and killed Naga people. History are discovered not invented. Meitei and Naga will accept there are freedom fighter of kuki because as per British record, India record, Manipur record unable to trace any kuki freedom fighter.
@@Sam-kuki Make up your mind first. What does your motherland signify? If it is those Kuki inhabited areas, then any fight for that land can't be part of a freedom struggle in Indian context. If it is the monarchial rule of the Meitei king then, it goes beyond doubt that despite regional autonomy, the village chiefs were under the king. Please don't shift the goal post, that your people often do.
@@hprabinkumarsingh6279if u are true indian u might already now.. it's INA indian national army under the leadership of our great leader Subash Chandra Bose ji ... Where the first Indian national flag was hoisted in MOIRANG .
I can see that some meitei are commenting on the discussion without listening properly, they think that they can manipulate things in every platform like they did in Imphal valley. Shame on you
Thank you so much. I am from Manipur and i have been listening to almost all discussions about our issue all over youtube and this has been easily one of the best discussion because it was not rhetorical or Unbiased or just narrative based and beautifully argued for both sides. Sad to say that even many UPSC youtube channels used rhetorics and WhatsApp rumours as a discussion. Let President's rule be put now and UT for 3 communities with a goal for better economic growth for now and maybe in the future unite again as a state. I would say more than religion, ethnic issues are the main problem in the North-eastern part of India. Thank you again.
@@billh5086 Stop with your separatism agenda. You are not getting any UT or whatever. Manipur will remain Manipur no matter how much you try. You may well migrate to Myanmar or Mizoram if you do not like Manipur.
@@billh5086 No communal demand should be entertained in this country.If you have an iota of rationality, you might have also considered the key recommendations of several State Reorganisation Commissions like the Fazl Ali Commission.

Thank you so much to the panelists for their insightful, unbiased and resourceful discussion on the issue of Manipur. I hope this discussion will bring permanent peace , which is a Separate Administration for the Kukis under central government.
The kukis have a long history of clashes with the nagas, karbis, and many other tribes. No wonder who is responsible for this conflict (A tribe adding one more clash to its history).
Just say meitei r jealous of kuki success n so wants ST. Meitei r scared n so playing silly lie tactics with 14% population n meitei who r 63% population r scared of kuki.
According to the International Law of UN Vienna Convention, the territory of the merged Nation when two sovereign nation merged should be kept unchanged which applied to Manipur.
You can't Apply ARTICLE 3 to Manipur by International Law. Mizoram, Nagaland,Meghalaya were districts of Assam . When Manipur joined INDIA in 1949 , Manipur joined as a Sovereign Nation with a popular legislation and constitution as Constitutional Monarchy. According to the International Law of UN Vienna Convention, the territory of the merged Nation when two sovereign nation merged should be kept unchanged which applied to Manipur. You can't Apply ARTICLE 3 to Manipur by International Law.
What international law? Parliament can change the boundary of any state for administrative purpose. Kashmir which has been an international issue for decades just got modified recently.
Chetan sir is an expert in IR&IS but his understanding of Manipur conflict is very poor and ill informed. Regarding the number of MLAs the meitei 40 seats which you said is unreserved and anybody from the state can contest whereas the 19 seats of the tribals are ST reserved. Regarding granting UT,Manipur was a sovereign nation and joined India through a treaty and hence Art 3 cant be applied and is very different from the granting of Nagaland statehood. And also about FMR,Manipur does not have a porous border it is an open border and hence external agents are pumping guns and narco money to keep the conflict going on. Regarding AR being replaced by CRPF it is because of the ground realities of biasness and injustice it is not Assam rifles anymore it is more like kuki rifles.
Great. Exactly shows you have read whatsapp University files. 1. Everyone knows what "unreserved" seats means. People aren't that dumb. That's why there is concept called procedural and substantive. 2. Article 3 is applied to all of India. You need to read up more on it on real constitution and not whatsapp. 3. Everyone knows about the insurgencies and their camps in the other side of the border. No one is saying to let them in. It's talking about the administration issue and people ties. It's not only Meiteis living in NE of India. Stop trying force your agendas on others. 4. Allegations can be made from anyone. Doesn't mean you simply dismiss the battalions. Acting along the Allegations without substantive proof is not a way to run an effective/unbiased administration. Stop reading propaganda from WhatsApp and start looking up things on your own. That's best i can say
@@billh5086 its funny seeing you bark and blabber without understanding anything about the ground reality! Read about 'Uti possidetis iuris' and you will understand about the art 3 and its application to Manipur. Regarding AR it has been proven black and white 'n' times about its biasness and its misuse of AFSPA in the valley. The army chief had said there was no drone bombing and use of sophisticated weapons only to be proven flatly wrong by the NIA. And of you still don't understand the reality i suggest you watch the interview of the former chief justice of The High court of Manipur and it will open you ignorant eyes and ears wide! ✌️
So in favour of Meiteis, the central government deployed CRPF to replace Assam Rifles. And in shortly the combination of CRPF and Meitei Forces killed our 10 village defence force, falsely accused them attacking their camp... It's clear that central government support Meiteis on this ethnic cleansing on Kukis. So sad, even the national medias also has no facts to see about the ground reality, 90% fed by lies of Meitei, is the most painful part😢
Yea with zero knowledge they are acting like experts...these are the various ill informed delusions that the tribals are saying among themselves......like saying 50%unreserved category is for meitei only ....🤣🤣
Manipur kingdom was only 650 sqkm. Not include Hill areas. That's why there's 2 MP in Manipur, Inner Manipur MP (valley )and Outer Manipur MP (Hill Areas).
Before 1947 Manipur was independent kingdom under British. But mizoram nagaland Arunachal Pradesh was part of Assam before 1947. Manipur which annexed to India 1949 become part c state ruled under commissioner from delhi. The country which was independent are kept as part c state. Nagaland which was part of Assam got statehood in 1962 but Manipur got statehood in 1972 after blood shed. Most importantly why insurgency in Manipur started in 1964 after 17 years of India independence please analyse in deep way.
I appreciate the concern you have to bring peace in my state. The knowledge you have about the manipur hist. Politics and it's people are highly commendable. When it comes to giving a UT to Kukis the Nagas will also be separated and accomodate with smt. Be it UT/merged with Nagaland state. And I personally think that's not gonna happen easily.
The kukis were originally called "Khongjai Or Khongchai" by the Meiteis they aren't indigenous.The ST demand is not the origin of the crisis the kukis demanded separate administration since 1950's we have the proof as they gave memorandum to PM Nehru. So don't blame ST status as a reason.
@@LIKMABAMVICTORKHUMAN Very true. Kukis are not the indigenous people of Manipur because Manipur land is just 700 sq miles.

A very intellectual and insightful discussion on Manipur Issue by a well known IAS coaching institution nationally. A very comprehensive, historical, logical and political discussion about Manipur issue.
Sirji, please study Manipur history properly. Manipur was not never curved out of India, Manipur was an independent country with distict boundary .It merged into the Indian union through a merger agreement between two independent countries I.e between India and Manipur in 1949.
Thanks for bringing out… No favour talk show!❤️❤️ @UnacademyIASEnglish. I hope this would lighten all the Citizens…of India and viewers! But here, I would like to put some truth about the Conflicts between Our future Neighbours Manipur state n Our KukiLand state of India. I’ll not certain my own favour or wish but from the conscience of everyone! And the reason why we r demanding Separate Administration! Firstly, Being a kuki community, mostly we always use to have awareness to spread false propaganda or wrong narrative from our side, like wise we don’t want or like The Citizens of India Every people should just favour and support us by means of relatives, Religion matters, Tribal matter, or any form of One own Favour! Instead we want by seeking or knowing the fact n truth inside what we faced! By humanity..by justice. Before the conflict started on 3rd May 2023! We the Kuki Community never imagine or thought n dream about that we will demand SA which call UT! As we are a peaceful community.. We don’t even complain or having sense of favouring our community.. we r always think that Manipur is for all of community, For India.. So, if something is injustice happen to Everyone/from every Community.. we just condemn only! And even from our Community.. if someone did unlawful activities..and if the govt/other community take action.. we don’t sided! But here.. I saw something.. wrong! If other communities did wrong… they protect themselves.. that so on happened many years! On the others way how we kind to others with very Fool, we just accept..as we r citizens of India n state of Manipur. Unfortunately… Likewise Manipur Govt meitei community took advantage from our kind as we r foolish community broad minded! They prepared secret plan to wide out from Manipur.. or killed of us all. When The war started.. as they r majority n state holders! They acted as Victims… played Hindu Victim card, as well as they show our Family, brothers n sisters dead bodies to Media, to Citizens of India that they are victims. They always lied to media.. just organise rally every time without any evidence to prove or show! They r very unity to in media for exposed. Though there is many things to say, just let me end up here. For the last.. like our community faced such incidents.. if happened to other community, more than we demand.. they will demand higher! I have much confidence n feel sad n it’s pain alot ❤️😥.. what we have been gone through in this conflict! Thankyou Everyone…
@@LenHangshingrtsandLifestyles Yes absolutely right.. I'm seconded with the kuki community..I have been many years in Imphal till the conflict started.. I came to know how meitei mobs r very cruel to kuki community.. They don't spare anyone
The Kukis have been involved in several conflicts with other ethnic groups in Manipur, India, including: Kuki-Paite Conflict This conflict began in 1997 when KNF militants shot and killed nine villagers in Saikul. The conflict involved smaller ethnic groups and resulted in the destruction of more than 50 villages and the displacement of around 13,000 people. The conflict ended in 1998 with a peace agreement that required both the Kuki and Zomi communities to respect each other's nomenclature. Kuki-Naga Clashes In 1990, the Kukis began attacking Naga settlements in the hills of Manipur, attempting to claim the land as their own. The Nagas retaliated in 1992, and over the next three years, more than 230 people were killed and tens of thousands of Kukis were displaced. Kuki Rebellion of 1917-1919 This rebellion was a response to the British colonial intrusion into Kuki livelihoods, including the forced recruitment of Kukis for World War I. The British suppressed the rebellion after two years of fighting. Now with Meitei & their demand is Kukiland /Zalengam which is included 5 Districts in Assam.

To the learned teachers of Unacademy , the tribal kuki population has grown by 300% in the last couple of decades. Whereas , the Naga and Meitei population has grown by less than 20%. Do you think it is possible by natural growth rate? Also, the number of kuki villages in the 1970's was less than 200 and now it has grown up to 1500+ whereas the number of Naga villages have remained stagnant; in some parts negative. Do you think there's no illegal influx ? What about drug trades ? Do you know the fact that annual turn over of the poppy plantations , which is predominantly done by kukis , is 70,000+ crores that is twice the state budget? Ask yourself this question and you will find the amswer.
The conclusion is Kukis want separate administration so that they can plant poppy, engage in illiegal trade without interference from govt. Their opposition to Meitei demanding ST is just a mere encuse or else why would other ST tribes also didnt opposed in the first place. The data shows once Churachandpur where kukis dominate was the hub of drugs and poppy centre of India.
Most interesting discussion I found after Manipur wideout of the Kukis after conflict, God bless discuss team and give more strengthen the team in the days to come ! Highly appreciate Unacademy IAS English !👌🌷💐🙏👍👏👏👏
Before the coming of the British, the British era, and till today, Meitei never ruled over the KukiZo. During the Meitei kingdom, their kings ruled over to their land, that is the valley.
You gadha before British came there was no kuki. Meitei King have war with Burma even Meitei King have relation or communication with ahom kingdom and Chinese. I feel pity about you. Being refugees you are not able to digest. Your agenda is different We know history are discovered not invented like kuki refugees
It is also wrong to say Kukis are labelled as immigrants. Nobody said that. CM didn't say that. Only that for Illegal immigrants (any community) and narcotic drug trades
Stereotype, an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about all people or things with a particular characteristic. When the media and the CM pushes a stereotype towards a certain community, you cannot say that it is wrong. Even a small meitei kid is taught to call the kukis poppy/immigrant/militant with all the adults and media labelling the kukis as such.
If you are claiming 40 seats are unreserved/open.... Make it reserved seats. Where as 20 seats are reserved.... Make it open/unreserve. Kukis will not become MLAs in meitei dominated constituency and meitei will not become MLA in tribal dominated areas. Look in to the voters in valley constituency and in the hills. One constituency voters in the hills are larger than two valleys constituency voters.
Support NRC and let's find out the real citizens. In 1963 Kuki refugees write letters to the Union of India to grant citizenships, now they are calling indigenous. Now, people who had never been to NE, are discussing the Manipur issued after reading some articles from Newspaper and wikipedia😂
Firstly, Thanks to unacademy for bringing up the topic without biased and shared opinion. 2ndly As a neutral mediator here in Manipur. The innocent lives are at stake every day. I will like to share my opinion too. Some steps that Central Govt can take up to neutralize this issues immediately is: First Apologize to Northeast state for so many negligence occurs currently and in the past years. 2nd Impose President Rules(The urgent need of the hour like it or not) 3rd Removed illegal immigrants if there is any Whoever it is with proper examination. (FMR can be discussed later.) 4th Banned all these rising Armies Either from meiteis or Kukis. (Which create miss trust between each other communities ) 5th Political Dialogue with representatives from Three communities. ( Why three communities because We all know the roots of these conflict is of land based conflict turn into communal conflict Later, which can even escalate to religious conflict.) So lastly what i want conclude is Silence is not a solution Afspa is also not a solution it will only create havoc. And also delaying is also not a solution. So if not act now Worse is yet to come. So takeaction immediately or separate northeast state from India. Enough is Enough.!!!!!
FYI MEITEIS MAY BE MAJORITY IN MANIPUR BUT THERE IS NO LAND EXCLUSIVELY FOR MEITEI WHILE OTHER PPLE LIKE KUKIS AND NAGAS HAVE THER EXCLUSIVE LAND AND THEY EVEN LIVE IN MEITEI DOMINATED AREA AND THIS SHOWS MEITEI ARE BIG HEART AND OTHERS ARE SELFISH
Please look into the Census Report of 2011 of Manipur. Meitei has 45℅ population (45℅ + 9℅ meitei pangal/muslim comes around 54℅), tribals both nagas and kukis have 41℅ population. Now the problem lies here-- meitei having only 45℅ of population enjoys 37 state assembly seats whereas tribals inspite of having 41℅ population are now reduced to only 19 seats in state assembly. Now imagine one tribal MLA's looking after 55000 population Vs one meitei MLA looking after only 35000 population. The state assembly as well as state funding all goes to Meiteis. Now meiteis enjoy SC, OBC, Gen in job reservation whereas tribals were given only 30℅ in state govt and only 7℅ in central recognised Institute in the state. All developments are concentrated only in imphal valleys whereas only 5℅ of state budget are given for tribal areas as per report shown by ex MLA Kangam Arthur in manipur state assembly in 2021. Now TD department which is a toothless department controlled by meitei CM is always deprived of funds. The TD department has become a scapegoat for the meiteis to blame for all the ill development of tribal areas. Even today tribal students are deprived of their scholarship for the last two years How far do you think you can deprive a person of his basic needs by bullying him. One day the victims will rise and say enough is enough.... ... Now the funny part is that Kukis.. I mean new kukis were brought by the Britishers during Col McCullough and Raja Gambhir Singh rule in early 1840s. Meitei kings gave land to the new refugee kukis and made them settle down along the hillock of manipur to act as a buffer against the intractable nagas. Sometimes Meitei kings used New kukis to punish the Nagas by supporting them with arms. The new refugee kukis killed majority of the nagas during the kuki rebellion of 1917-1919. Even during the kuki naga conflict of 1993, all moral support and help were provided to the kukis by the meiteis. The Nagas have been suffering both in the hands of new kukis and meiteis. If truth be told, new kukis were the slave dog of meiteis to punish the nagas. Later the dog bite its own master.
Interesting conversation. What you missed is the 40 MLA from valley is unreserved, anyone can contest. The 40 MLAs are not only Meiteis but also includes Pangles as well Bangalies etc. No Meiteis can contests in that 20 reserved MLA sheets. If you increase the reserved sheets, what will be the situation of Meiteis. For the lasts several decades, Meiteis have been excluded from all reserved benefits, be in jobs, in education, scholarships, and on top of it Meiteis are forced to live only in the valley and many more. Now almost all the Beurocrates are non Meiteis. This injustice treatment to Meiteis had forced Meiteis to become poorer and poorer day by day and all their benefits have been allowed to be looted by the current illegal laws. Now most of the rich people in valley are not Meiteis, but rather kukis, and other tribes. Your statistics of Meiteis economy should be checked and correct the false. And not only that, find out the 1500 illegal unregistered unrecognized villages in the hills.
Basic principles of indian Constitution can't be changed as you know, the very fact of historical n political dimension of Manipur can't be compromised. Manipur was not carved from India or then assam, it was a princely state having two thousand years old written history having it's own language, written script, . . . . even Constitution but was merged with india in 1949. Respected sir pliz respect the history of Manipur. And Manipur is the 19th state of india n will ever remain as an integral part of india. Never bring an illusion of division of Manipur in any form
@@surazkang5347 they literally mentioned it and admits there is a history and evidence of this happening but that this happens with northeast being very closely to the golden triangle. even after this issue has been a problem in manipur, the sale of arms and drugs have shifted to mizoram and other parts of northeast and it will continue to do so. it is not simply a kuki zo issue.
good initiative by this team literally awesome , all have good knowledge .. appreciated .. Abhisek sir history knowledge is my favorite part as well as chetan sir
I don't know if I am late, but I would like to thank the UNACADEMY team for a beautiful and logical talk on the Manipur conflict. I would like to submit a few points here:- 1. All govt offices, hospitals, schools, colleges, university, engineering and medical colleges are located in imphal alone. Had they been distributed to the hills too, many tribals won't be coming to the valley and hence the valley won't be this populated and the meiteis won't have feared losing their land to the tribals. Development activities are all concentrated in the valley only and merely less than 5% of the fund are being spent in the hills. 2. Cultivation of Poppy and Drug Smuggling is not new in Manipur and saying that only one community is involved in absurd. The drug lords are those with money and power, and in Manipur money and power are mainly concentrated with the meiteis. The Kuki people, whosoever were involved were only transporters who were lured for easy and quick money. Targeting only a community will not solve the issue of drugs as the idea of easy money is lucrative to all and more so with those in power and money. 3. Propaganda and fake news have played a major role in escalation of the conflict and in adding fuel to the fire. The Kukis along with Manipur nagas had together held rallies against the meiteis demand for ST status. The Kukis were targeted specifically and fake messages were circulated to justify their attacks and rapes on Kukis.
Dear friends, I respect you. Let me be a part of you. The unity and integrity of India is founded on regionalism, of the north, south, east, west and the central regions. Some states of Indian north east carved out from Assam but not Manipur. Manipur was merged on Oct. 15 1949 as a part of India.
The issues which pertains to the north eastern part of India has least TRP for media due which there is a lack of comprehensive coverage of any issues in these regions. For instance, I made a video on root causes of manipur conflict but people just swiped away. But, on other videos, they watched! That is the mentality of viewers because they mostly overlook the issues in north east. Take an example of Gorkhaland in Darjeeling region, in 1986, more than 10000 people died and in past few decades few more died in the demand for Gorkhaland. But how many of the Indians know about it??
It’s really interesting listening to such an insight discussion. Talks of intellectuals are always fascinating and interesting. Thank you very much for bringing up Manipur issues. ❤
unbiased conversation i like it... it is high time to solve the cinflict.. I'm so benefit to listened your conversation. Thanks all. if our politicians have a mind like this. I dont think the conflict should not take such a long time❤
As an aspirant and a manipuri I would like to invite the panelists to manipur please feel free to contact me or anyone else but please dont announced the arrival just get in contact with trusted colleagues or correspondent... I would like to show the ground reality to my respective subject experts that's present in here in this very discussion lets see if any new perspective arises! I know people will judge me for my comment since I am a Meitei but believe me I will not distort any facts nor add any masala.. I will just bring the expert to the respective hotspots, show visuals and provide valuable insights!
For Representation : In valley, it is about 20,000 voters for one seat but for the hills it is about 40,000 voters. So, valley has 40 seats and hills have 20

@24:52 Only 2 Assam Rifles battalion was shifted to Jammu and Kashmir because of the need for more manpower. Other Assam Rifles battalions are still stationed in Manipur. Please educate your experts.
@24:59 what's the issue with exchanging ASSAM Rifles with another Indian military force like CRPF? Does Kuki-zo have some personal relationships with Assam rifles? The end goal of the Central government is to summon neutral forces to stop the violence, so what if CRPF came in place of Assam Rifles which appears neutral to Meiteis? Kuki-zo don't have any allegations against CRPF like the Meiteis have with Assam Rifles? What are you experts talking about? Shameful experts.
If you know the ground reality why Kuki demand UT or separate administration then, for sure, you will be against their will, although it's a democratic demand. Meitei know's it, that's why they are against their will (against those poppy cultivators, smugglers, natural forest destroyer). Also, Manipur merged into the union of India under Merger Agreement on 21 Sept 1949. Don't try to bifurcate the state, instead focus on admintrative reforms and its mechanism.

The retired Chief Justice of Manipur High Court, Shri Siddharth Mridul, said some days back, "It is most unfair to characterise an order -- the order passed by the Manipur High Court as being responsible for all the violence in Manipur. It is not. Far from it. It is most unfair for anybody to even suggest it ... The order was simply asking the State government to respond to an earlier communication from the Central government and seeking a socio-economic report on whether Meiteis could be considered for the list of Scheduled Tribes. Nothing more nothing less. It was not a direction as was made out that the High Court directed that Meiteis be included in the category of Scheduled Tribes. There was no such direction".
Before this, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, GOI, wrote a letter dated 29th May 2013 asking the Manipur government to furnish specific recommendations along with the latest socio-economic survey and ethnography report by an organisation of repute for consideration of the proposal for inclusion of Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribes list of Manipur. (The Manipur government sits on the file for more than ten years without giving any reply whatsoever).
The Census of India 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1931 recorded the Meitei as a forest tribe, main tribe, Hindu tribe etc. Only from the Census in 1951 was the Meitei mistakenly delisted without assigning any reason thereof either to the State government or the general public in gazette notifications.
Major-General Sir James Johnstone, KCSI, the Political Agent in Manipur (1877-1886) wrote, "The Kukis are a wandering race consisting of several tribes who have long been working up from the South. They were first heard of as Kukis, in Manipur, between 1830 and 1840". (Page 25, Manipur and The Naga Hills by Sir James Johnstone. Cultural Publishing House, 18-D, Kamla Nagar, Delhi 110007). He further added, "Their original home cannot be correctly ascertained, but there seem to be traces of them as far south as the Malay peninsula". (Page 27).
There are many books written by the British administrators and researchers on Manipur and her people. Some of them, among others, are Account of the Valley of Munnipore by Major McCulloch, Political Agent in Manipur (1863-1867); Account of Manipur and the Hill Territory by R Brown, Political Agent in Manipur (1867-1875); The Lushei Kuki Clans by Lt-Col Shakespear the PA in Manipur (1905-1908) and (1909- 19014); Gazetteer of Manipur by EW Dun; The Meitheis by TC Hodson, Asst. PA and Superintendent of the State, Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute; My Three Years in Manipur by Ethel Clair Grimwood (the wife of the ill-fated Political Agent in Manipur, Mr Grimwood, who met a tragic death along with the Chief Commissioner of undivided Assam Mr James Wallace Quinton on March 24, 1891 at Kangla. On her return to England, she was honoured by the Queen with a Red Cross for serving in Manipur under the most adverse circumstances). None of the books mentioned above ever reported the Kukis as aboriginal and original inhabitants of Manipur.
Moreover, the Kuki-Zo tribes claimed themselves to be one of the ten lost tribes of Israel called Bnei Menashe. Led by some elders like LS Thangjom, a retired IAS, they reached Israel and the Israeli government accepted their claims giving them citizenships. Around 5,000 of them have already immigrated, as reported by Jordyn Haime in The Times of Israel dated October 6, 2023. God bless them.

Same thing happened with us (Bishnupriya Manipuri) originated from Bishnupur (Lumlangdong). Meitei discriminated against us and forced us to leave the valley. They call us Mayang(foreigner) and copycats just cz we don’t speak their language although we share the same traditions. Now we are separated from our motherland due to Meitei and our history has been vanished. Meanwhile kukis have been hospitable and very good to us. Meitei wants to have monopoly over Manipur. They treat non Meiteis as 3rd class citizens. The voice of Kuki and Naga people should be heard
Meiteis perception on Manipur as the state for meiteis alone (exclusively) is one of the factors instigating the violence. India and the world must know that meiteis are not only the original inhabitants of Manipur. Since time inmemorial meiteis lived in the valley and Kuki and Naga lived in the hills. And one thing that hurt my sentiment is to see meitei fellows terming all of us(Kuki) as illegal immigrants or foreigners.
No matter what we will keep fighting for our ancestral land and rights till the very last drop of our blood. We fought against the British during 1917-19 unlike the meiteis in valley who were aligned with colonial government under the leadership of meiteis king Maharaja Bodhachandra.
None can deny the fact that hills belonged to the tribals- Kuki and Nagas...
Lastly thanks to Unacademy educators for the unbiased analysis and informative/constructive podcast on the issue of Manipur... You are taking the role of what state and centre govt. supposed to do long ago...

@@P.Kuki_Simplicity_Humility you've stated some points which is more inclined towards a sense of tribal unity (which is good) but in fact is virtually non existent the birth of Kuki militia from the British now the Indian government was aimed at fighting both Naga and meitei armed groups which the Kuki being in hills had better knowledge of terrain and geography.
No we do not belive as manipur belongs to only meitei without pangal we would be eating grass without Maram Thangal maring we would have died long time ago as they protected us from invasions from east words. Tengnoupal being a very important point in war history of manipur. Certain parts of Manipuri from kakching district worship a Naga diety in uyok hill range.
Naga and Kuki have not lived from time memorial tribes under Naga and Kuki did which is not clear now to this day you ask chothe some will say Kuki and other will say Naga.
You lable us as rapist when certain section of people who were responsible were punished for their crimes by meitei.
First step is to support NRC contribute in destroying poppy which cultivation as a Indian. Which I haven't seen in last 15 months.
That's not your ancestral lands tribes under Kuki nomenclature has lived with us not denying that but Kuki which terminology appeared in early 1910.
We didnt aligned with colonial government every community died and suffered be it Naga Muslim or meitei. A war with British with location in Naga dominated area which NPF has openly condemnd.
Hill valley River ocean all belongs to Manipuri. Using terminology as hill kuki&naga Indian when your actions are facist well no wonder with ITLF AND COTU organisation with using words as indeginous tribal to gain sympathy.

@@MohanKrishna-m4f historical these guys are not adequate knowledge manipur was independent kingdom/country before 1949 September 21 manipur was adopt constitutional monarchy and held election in 1948 through universal adult franchise before India (1951_52) Nagaland was separate from Assam don't compare mizoram/Nagaland and manipur. Anglo kuki rebellion created history was wrong kuki chief was used by meitei sanajaoba to revolt against his brother king of manipur than kuki chief apologise to king 🤴. Kuki want separate from India after they got UT or state . They wanted to create Christian country. Separatist idea not Indian constitutional flexibility. I asked one question why in manipur Hindu population was drastically declining whereas Christian population was increase and nevertheless meitei population was declined and kuki population was drastically increase why???????????????????
Just few points:
1. Meiteis already claim major chunk of reservation- SC (15%), OBC (27%) and EWS (10%), and now they even want the small pie of STs' (7.5%).
2. Hill towns like Lamka (Ccpur), Kanggui, Chandel and Senapati are geographically and topographically not different from Imphal valley. In fact they can be said to be a contiguous extension of Imphal Valley. Hence, they are not very challenging to develop like Imphal.
Just a lack of political will: the seize of development and development funds by majority Meiteis.
3. Nagas and Kukis are forced to go to valley because they don't enjoy even a fragment of development the Imphal valley has. Every year, 75-80% of budgets are emptied and concentrated within Imphal Valley only.
4. Very imp: Kukis have never demanded for a 'separate' country- they want separate administration (be it State or UT with legislature), unlike the NSCN or Meitei terror groups.
5. No one misunderstood Manipur HC's order. When the entirety of the majoritarian (Meitei) state mechanism is favouring Meiteis, and lastly even the HC allegedly joins that bandwagon - this was perceived as Infiltration of Meitei agenda even into the judiciary (As we all know, recognition or deletion of STs is entirely the discretion/pleasure of the Prez)
6. 90% of Manipur area, which are mountainous and protected under constitutional provisions are 'sitting-ducks" for Nagas and Kukis economically. this is because, these mountainous 'plots' do not come under Patta System/Private Ownership and hence can't be used as collaterals to even claim 1 rupee loans, nor can the people start commercial exploitation of natural resources (prohibition, tribals financially poor, and cultural roots and values rooted in environmental conservation and consciousness)... etc etc...
You cannot force a wife victim to domestic violence to go back to her husband after facing brutality and violence at the hands of her husband. If the wife asks for divorce, then divorcement is The solution. The Meiteis here are the aggressor husband, and the Kukis the victimised wife.
The Kukis want divorce from Manipur, and their cries of justice must be heard. Justice via political Separation. #SeparateAdministration is the true and only justice. If you force them to go back, can you ensure that Meitei brutality won't be unleashed again? Will you take responsibility and accountability for any future deaths or violence arising after cramping them back together via 'forced normalcy'?
But all in all, albeit delayed 19 months, you decide to address this burning topic. So at least that's KUDOS!!...the NE, esp Manipur right now deserves more discourses and attention from across all section of the populace.
When did all this happen?
Refugees agenda are not valid in India.
😂😂😂 we don't care st, but we don't wnt to give st to the refugee
Don't manipulate data n blamed the other community. All laws in Manipur are made by GoI, all MKAs from kukis, nagas, meiteis, pangal. Whatever your kuki MLAs misappropriate your developmental funds cannot be blamed to the meiteis.
...what are u trying to convey/say/,... this is not something history...without historians'...come up with positive mindset...ultimately things will come to normalcy(but out of love...)

Thanks for accentuating Manipur issues.
There are misconceptions that Meitei can't buy lands in tribal areas.If they can't buy land they would not be settled in kuki dominated hill areas such as Churachandpur,Chandel and Moreh (as pointed out by Chetan Sir).
There is Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (MLR & LR) Act 1960 through which meitei can buy land in tribal areas.This act is partly introduced in tribal areas mainly in Kuki areas but it couldn't be implemented in Naga areas because Naga opposed it.That is why,there is no meitei villages in Naga areas.
For further reading,there is a book called Tribal Land System of Manipur published by the Centre for Manipur Studies and written by meitei P Devi.
who said there is no meitei village in nagas area and remember there is a meitei village in churachandpur but they dont own the land And remember who saved kuki from naga in 1993 ...
even dogs are loyal to their owner ...
@@AstromuonKuki Can Meiteis buy land in the hills now? No.
It was only a colonial act which introduced this hill-valley concept, or rather divide.
All these Meitei settlements existed much before these arrangements. But ethnic pogrom of a certain community to establish their hegemony by clearing these settlements started some decades ago only.
Once Naga dominated districts are now, settled by your community. This allows the "We are already divided physically, so separate administration is only solution" narrative.
Crazy??? Those Meetei who settled in the hills either predate the arrival of Kukis and the introduction of the MLR Act. This land is patta land. Now, Meetei categorized as General, SC, or OBC cannot buy land in more than 90% of the area. The so-called Imphal valley, less than 8% of the total area, is home to Kuki, Naga, Muslim, Nepali, Bengali, Punjabi, and others. Is this land distribution fair?
How much does meitei has in ccpur .....hardly 1500patas may be after that they stop selling to meitei....but how many patas of kuki are there in mainland imphal do you know......shame on the kuki refugee
This is just a word, that Meitei can Buy land in Churachandpur. Olden days yes (1970s to 1980s) even this was done with difficulty. But now, Can you even tell one Meitei buying land in Churachandpur.( Not owned by the Meitei).
Your tribal Under ground and those officers working in the revenue department make sure that it can't be bought by any meitei.
Leave buying of Land. Just trying to register an Association by the name 'Khumujamba Pattadar association' just coz there is a word 'Pattadar' in the association Name it was opposed by the Tribal Chief association in Churachandpur. ( You guys are rotten inside, there is a saying if you can sit you can also laydown and sleep, this is the nature of Kuki):

Whereas in the best interests of the State of Manipur as well as of the Dominion of India it is desirable to provide for the administration of the said State by or under the authority of the Dominion Government.
Were we manipuri under the India goverment to devide our land ?... And I wanna say ... Its enough to devide our land ..{ Kabaw valley was exchanged with Andaman and Nicobar island by the prime minister of India then Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru for the security reason.
The agreement of the kabaw valley was one of the most betrayal to the manipuris by the Nehru and Government of India.
Do we really need another betrayal from India?
2. according to your discussion ' India is a democratic country so if any particular group of people want a separate administration and if the crisis goining on would be solve by giving those demand '...will you guys divide India into two part? if they ask to divide India? its same goes to Manipur
3. the reality of the manipur is that the illegal immigrants{ this is the main reason} come from another place are not JUST coming to survived ......they are coming Manipur to SMUGGLING , to plant POPPY , DEFORESTATION etc ....Its not about ST status ...they are bringing these topic just to divert the topic of SMUGGLING and to plant POPPY....
The CM of Manipur just banned their activity I mean Poppy plantation and other things because of this they want free movement ,,, imagine if the smuggler rule the new state or UT .. what will happened.. do you think our Indian forces will solve?
If you think so , please discuss one more about Manipur.. now in our state manipur above 20 thousands Arm forces are in Manipur and some of them are guarding local MLAs ..there many army officers who have been doing right things .. we are very happy to with them and staying with us to protect the integrity of our land.

Out of 112 freedom fighter in Manipur morethan 80 names were KUKI who fought for our motherland.but then Meiteis were jealous trying to annihilate the KUKI people as well as our historical records they burnt down everything in Imphal.
They are not freedom fighter. They are daicot who looted Naga village and killed Naga people. History are discovered not invented. Meitei and Naga will accept there are freedom fighter of kuki because as per British record, India record, Manipur record unable to trace any kuki freedom fighter.
which freedom fights you are talking about and when?
@@Sam-kuki Make up your mind first. What does your motherland signify?
If it is those Kuki inhabited areas, then any fight for that land can't be part of a freedom struggle in Indian context.
If it is the monarchial rule of the Meitei king then, it goes beyond doubt that despite regional autonomy, the village chiefs were under the king.

Thank you for the coverage Unacademy team.
one of the greatest discussion with truth and in favour of peace.. salute
Thank you so much. I am from Manipur and i have been listening to almost all discussions about our issue all over youtube and this has been easily one of the best discussion because it was not rhetorical or Unbiased or just narrative based and beautifully argued for both sides. Sad to say that even many UPSC youtube channels used rhetorics and WhatsApp rumours as a discussion.
Let President's rule be put now and UT for 3 communities with a goal for better economic growth for now and maybe in the future unite again as a state.
I would say more than religion, ethnic issues are the main problem in the North-eastern part of India.
Thank you again.

The kukis have a long history of clashes with the nagas, karbis, and many other tribes. No wonder who is responsible for this conflict (A tribe adding one more clash to its history).

@@prathamsaxena9503 dude are you even understanding the comment
What international law? Parliament can change the boundary of any state for administrative purpose. Kashmir which has been an international issue for decades just got modified recently.
But the territory of kuki was not inform... and the agreement made by Maharaja was just about 650sq km..
.
Chetan sir is an expert in IR&IS but his understanding of Manipur conflict is very poor and ill informed. Regarding the number of MLAs the meitei 40 seats which you said is unreserved and anybody from the state can contest whereas the 19 seats of the tribals are ST reserved. Regarding granting UT,Manipur was a sovereign nation and joined India through a treaty and hence Art 3 cant be applied and is very different from the granting of Nagaland statehood.
And also about FMR,Manipur does not have a porous border it is an open border and hence external agents are pumping guns and narco money to keep the conflict going on.
Regarding AR being replaced by CRPF it is because of the ground realities of biasness and injustice it is not Assam rifles anymore it is more like kuki rifles.
Great. Exactly shows you have read whatsapp University files.
1. Everyone knows what "unreserved" seats means. People aren't that dumb. That's why there is concept called procedural and substantive.
2. Article 3 is applied to all of India. You need to read up more on it on real constitution and not whatsapp.
3. Everyone knows about the insurgencies and their camps in the other side of the border. No one is saying to let them in. It's talking about the administration issue and people ties. It's not only Meiteis living in NE of India. Stop trying force your agendas on others.
4. Allegations can be made from anyone. Doesn't mean you simply dismiss the battalions. Acting along the Allegations without substantive proof is not a way to run an effective/unbiased administration.
Stop reading propaganda from WhatsApp and start looking up things on your own. That's best i can say
Truth Hurts
@@billh5086 its funny seeing you bark and blabber without understanding anything about the ground reality!
Read about 'Uti possidetis iuris' and you will understand about the art 3 and its application to Manipur. Regarding AR it has been proven black and white 'n' times about its biasness and its misuse of AFSPA in the valley.
The army chief had said there was no drone bombing and use of sophisticated weapons only to be proven flatly wrong by the NIA. And of you still don't understand the reality i suggest you watch the interview of the former chief justice of The High court of Manipur and it will open you ignorant eyes and ears wide! ✌️
So in favour of Meiteis, the central government deployed CRPF to replace Assam Rifles. And in shortly the combination of CRPF and Meitei Forces killed our 10 village defence force, falsely accused them attacking their camp... It's clear that central government support Meiteis on this ethnic cleansing on Kukis. So sad, even the national medias also has no facts to see about the ground reality, 90% fed by lies of Meitei, is the most painful part😢
Yea with zero knowledge they are acting like experts...these are the various ill informed delusions that the tribals are saying among themselves......like saying 50%unreserved category is for meitei only ....🤣🤣

When it comes to giving a UT to Kukis the Nagas will also be separated and accomodate with smt. Be it UT/merged with Nagaland state. And I personally think that's not gonna happen easily.
The kukis were originally called "Khongjai Or Khongchai" by the Meiteis they aren't indigenous.The ST demand is not the origin of the crisis the kukis demanded separate administration since 1950's we have the proof as they gave memorandum to PM Nehru. So don't blame ST status as a reason.

Thanks for bringing out… No favour talk show!❤️❤️ @UnacademyIASEnglish. I hope this would lighten all the Citizens…of India and viewers!
But here, I would like to put some truth about the Conflicts between Our future Neighbours Manipur state n Our KukiLand state of India. I’ll not certain my own favour or wish but from the conscience of everyone!
And the reason why we r demanding Separate Administration!
Firstly, Being a kuki community, mostly we always use to have awareness to spread false propaganda or wrong narrative from our side, like wise we don’t want or like The Citizens of India Every people should just favour and support us by means of relatives, Religion matters, Tribal matter, or any form of One own Favour! Instead we want by seeking or knowing the fact n truth inside what we faced! By humanity..by justice.
Before the conflict started on 3rd May 2023! We the Kuki Community never imagine or thought n dream about that we will demand SA which call UT! As we are a peaceful community.. We don’t even complain or having sense of favouring our community.. we r always think that Manipur is for all of community, For India.. So, if something is injustice happen to Everyone/from every Community.. we just condemn only! And even from our Community.. if someone did unlawful activities..and if the govt/other community take action.. we don’t sided! But here.. I saw something.. wrong! If other communities did wrong… they protect themselves.. that so on happened many years! On the others way how we kind to others with very Fool, we just accept..as we r citizens of India n state of Manipur.
Unfortunately… Likewise Manipur Govt meitei community took advantage from our kind as we r foolish community broad minded! They prepared secret plan to wide out from Manipur.. or killed of us all.
When The war started.. as they r majority n state holders! They acted as Victims… played Hindu Victim card, as well as they show our Family, brothers n sisters dead bodies to Media, to Citizens of India that they are victims. They always lied to media.. just organise rally every time without any evidence to prove or show! They r very unity to in media for exposed.
Though there is many things to say, just let me end up here.
For the last.. like our community faced such incidents.. if happened to other community, more than we demand.. they will demand higher!
I have much confidence n feel sad n it’s pain alot ❤️😥.. what we have been gone through in this conflict!
Thankyou Everyone…
@@LenHangshingrtsandLifestyles Yes absolutely right.. I'm seconded with the kuki community..I have been many years in Imphal till the conflict started.. I came to know how meitei mobs r very cruel to kuki community.. They don't spare anyone
So explain to us why the war started? And what do you think about the eradication of poppy plantations by GOM in the hills?
One of the most sensible discussion ive heard since the conflict.
Extraordinary explanation with amazing editing. Hats off to the whole team 👏 🙌
Enlightening discussion ❤
What without any knowledge why are you discussing about manipur meitei is the real minority in India only 15 lakh whereas kuki zo has 30 lakh in India
30lakhs? Wah wah!
U need to update your Knowledge 😂😂😂😂
First u update @@Notification-45
The Kukis have been involved in several conflicts with other ethnic groups in Manipur, India, including:
Kuki-Paite Conflict
This conflict began in 1997 when KNF militants shot and killed nine villagers in Saikul. The conflict involved smaller ethnic groups and resulted in the destruction of more than 50 villages and the displacement of around 13,000 people. The conflict ended in 1998 with a peace agreement that required both the Kuki and Zomi communities to respect each other's nomenclature.
Kuki-Naga Clashes
In 1990, the Kukis began attacking Naga settlements in the hills of Manipur, attempting to claim the land as their own. The Nagas retaliated in 1992, and over the next three years, more than 230 people were killed and tens of thousands of Kukis were displaced.
Kuki Rebellion of 1917-1919
This rebellion was a response to the British colonial intrusion into Kuki livelihoods, including the forced recruitment of Kukis for World War I. The British suppressed the rebellion after two years of fighting.
Now with Meitei & their demand is Kukiland /Zalengam which is included 5 Districts in Assam.

Kuki-Naga clash (again) in 2020, in Chassad village in Manipur.
Saphaba,every one know meitei are very intilignt of making fake narrative.what you coment is 2% right and 8%wrong
To the learned teachers of Unacademy , the tribal kuki population has grown by 300% in the last couple of decades. Whereas , the Naga and Meitei population has grown by less than 20%. Do you think it is possible by natural growth rate? Also, the number of kuki villages in the 1970's was less than 200 and now it has grown up to 1500+ whereas the number of Naga villages have remained stagnant; in some parts negative. Do you think there's no illegal influx ? What about drug trades ? Do you know the fact that annual turn over of the poppy plantations , which is predominantly done by kukis , is 70,000+ crores that is twice the state budget? Ask yourself this question and you will find the amswer.
Knowledgeable discussion.. 🤝
The conclusion is Kukis want separate administration so that they can plant poppy, engage in illiegal trade without interference from govt. Their opposition to Meitei demanding ST is just a mere encuse or else why would other ST tribes also didnt opposed in the first place. The data shows once Churachandpur where kukis dominate was the hub of drugs and poppy centre of India.
Meithei are owner or investor
Thank you Unacademy for the insights❤
Most interesting discussion I found after Manipur wideout of the Kukis after conflict, God bless discuss team and give more strengthen the team in the days to come ! Highly appreciate Unacademy IAS English !👌🌷💐🙏👍👏👏👏
Good narrative but half empty. Learn more about Manipur and it's people first.
Great. Initiative by Unacademy to discuss important issues with intellect and non - biases to put right picture in front of society 🎉❤ Hats offf❤️❤️❤️
Before the coming of the British, the British era, and till today, Meitei never ruled over the KukiZo. During the Meitei kingdom, their kings ruled over to their land, that is the valley.
You gadha before British came there was no kuki. Meitei King have war with Burma even Meitei King have relation or communication with ahom kingdom and Chinese. I feel pity about you. Being refugees you are not able to digest. Your agenda is different We know history are discovered not invented like kuki refugees
As per India constitution when your community got st status don't tell lies in social media . I have another question for you
Before the coming of the British there is no kuki terminology n no kuki are there in manipur. After british kuki terminology was born
And 5 mins later you all will complain aboit how meiteis have always subjugated you all since pre british era.
then why king of Manipur map includes both hills and valley?
It is also wrong to say Kukis are labelled as immigrants. Nobody said that. CM didn't say that. Only that for Illegal immigrants (any community) and narcotic drug trades
Stereotype, an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about all people or things with a particular characteristic.
When the media and the CM pushes a stereotype towards a certain community, you cannot say that it is wrong. Even a small meitei kid is taught to call the kukis poppy/immigrant/militant with all the adults and media labelling the kukis as such.
If you are claiming 40 seats are unreserved/open.... Make it reserved seats. Where as 20 seats are reserved.... Make it open/unreserve. Kukis will not become MLAs in meitei dominated constituency and meitei will not become MLA in tribal dominated areas.
Look in to the voters in valley constituency and in the hills. One constituency voters in the hills are larger than two valleys constituency voters.
Support NRC and let's find out the real citizens. In 1963 Kuki refugees write letters to the Union of India to grant citizenships, now they are calling indigenous.
Now, people who had never been to NE, are discussing the Manipur issued after reading some articles from Newspaper and wikipedia😂
Maybe meiteis SC either OBC status were Refugee Same commmunity with different ststus 😂 Bangladeshi😅
Discussion like this is the need of the hour. Unbiased and educational purely based on literature! Thanks Unacademy.
kuki rebellion was lead by a meitei ...named Sanajaoba
True
Firstly, Thanks to unacademy for bringing up the topic without biased and shared opinion.
2ndly As a neutral mediator here in Manipur. The innocent lives are at stake every day.
I will like to share my opinion too.
Some steps that Central Govt can take up to neutralize this issues immediately is:
First Apologize to Northeast state for so many negligence occurs currently and in the past years.
2nd Impose President Rules(The urgent need of the hour like it or not)
3rd Removed illegal immigrants if there is any Whoever it is with proper examination. (FMR can be discussed later.)
4th Banned all these rising Armies Either from meiteis or Kukis. (Which create miss trust between each other communities )
5th Political Dialogue with representatives from Three communities. ( Why three communities because We all know the roots of these conflict is of land based conflict turn into communal conflict Later, which can even escalate to religious conflict.)
So lastly what i want conclude is Silence is not a solution Afspa is also not a solution it will only create havoc. And also delaying is also not a solution. So if not act now Worse is yet to come. So takeaction immediately or separate northeast state from India. Enough is Enough.!!!!!
To bring peace in manipur only one way separate Administration for kuki .
Such discussion should be encouraged for better understanding of the conflict and the subsequent solution 👌
FYI MEITEIS MAY BE MAJORITY IN MANIPUR BUT THERE IS NO LAND EXCLUSIVELY FOR MEITEI WHILE OTHER PPLE LIKE KUKIS AND NAGAS HAVE THER EXCLUSIVE LAND AND THEY EVEN LIVE IN MEITEI DOMINATED AREA AND THIS SHOWS MEITEI ARE BIG HEART AND OTHERS ARE SELFISH
@@Jenli-w1f 😂😂😂
Thank-you all
Fact but true 200+ kuki died and 200+ meiteis it means more 400+ lives lose in manipur conflict
Please look into the Census Report of 2011 of Manipur. Meitei has 45℅ population (45℅ + 9℅ meitei pangal/muslim comes around 54℅), tribals both nagas and kukis have 41℅ population. Now the problem lies here-- meitei having only 45℅ of population enjoys 37 state assembly seats whereas tribals inspite of having 41℅ population are now reduced to only 19 seats in state assembly. Now imagine one tribal MLA's looking after 55000 population Vs one meitei MLA looking after only 35000 population. The state assembly as well as state funding all goes to Meiteis.
Now meiteis enjoy SC, OBC, Gen in job reservation whereas tribals were given only 30℅ in state govt and only 7℅ in central recognised Institute in the state. All developments are concentrated only in imphal valleys whereas only 5℅ of state budget are given for tribal areas as per report shown by ex MLA Kangam Arthur in manipur state assembly in 2021. Now TD department which is a toothless department controlled by meitei CM is always deprived of funds. The TD department has become a scapegoat for the meiteis to blame for all the ill development of tribal areas. Even today tribal students are deprived of their scholarship for the last two years How far do you think you can deprive a person of his basic needs by bullying him. One day the victims will rise and say enough is enough.... ...
Now the funny part is that Kukis.. I mean new kukis were brought by the Britishers during Col McCullough and Raja Gambhir Singh rule in early 1840s. Meitei kings gave land to the new refugee kukis and made them settle down along the hillock of manipur to act as a buffer against the intractable nagas. Sometimes Meitei kings used New kukis to punish the Nagas by supporting them with arms. The new refugee kukis killed majority of the nagas during the kuki rebellion of 1917-1919. Even during the kuki naga conflict of 1993, all moral support and help were provided to the kukis by the meiteis. The Nagas have been suffering both in the hands of new kukis and meiteis. If truth be told, new kukis were the slave dog of meiteis to punish the nagas. Later the dog bite its own master.
Wonderful discussion
A very insightful and informative discussion as always. Thank You Very much🙏
EXCELLENT CONVERSATION
Dynamite discussion 🔥
Interesting conversation. What you missed is the 40 MLA from valley is unreserved, anyone can contest. The 40 MLAs are not only Meiteis but also includes Pangles as well Bangalies etc. No Meiteis can contests in that 20 reserved MLA sheets. If you increase the reserved sheets, what will be the situation of Meiteis. For the lasts several decades, Meiteis have been excluded from all reserved benefits, be in jobs, in education, scholarships, and on top of it Meiteis are forced to live only in the valley and many more. Now almost all the Beurocrates are non Meiteis. This injustice treatment to Meiteis had forced Meiteis to become poorer and poorer day by day and all their benefits have been allowed to be looted by the current illegal laws. Now most of the rich people in valley are not Meiteis, but rather kukis, and other tribes. Your statistics of Meiteis economy should be checked and correct the false. And not only that, find out the 1500 illegal unregistered unrecognized villages in the hills.
Kukis for the first time brought to Manipur in 1940
Did your bald head CM taught you that?
We kuki zo stay hare more than 400 yrs
I really appreciate this initiative and the valuable insights you shared with us.
You all are just amazing.
Great discussion. God bless you all.
Basic principles of indian Constitution can't be changed as you know, the very fact of historical n political dimension of Manipur can't be compromised. Manipur was not carved from India or then assam, it was a princely state having two thousand years old written history having it's own language, written script, . . . . even Constitution but was merged with india in 1949.
Respected sir pliz respect the history of Manipur. And Manipur is the 19th state of india n will ever remain as an integral part of india. Never bring an illusion of division of Manipur in any form
Before after 1947 manipur meaning kangleipak or meithei valley .now Imphal valley
As per the logic of the esteemed members, free movement regime should be allowed in Indo-China, Indo-Pakistan and Indo- Bangladesh borders.
Happy Birthday 🎂 Sarmad Sir 🎉🎉 Quite informative session!

@@surazkang5347 they literally mentioned it and admits there is a history and evidence of this happening but that this happens with northeast being very closely to the golden triangle. even after this issue has been a problem in manipur, the sale of arms and drugs have shifted to mizoram and other parts of northeast and it will continue to do so. it is not simply a kuki zo issue.
good initiative by this team literally awesome , all have good knowledge .. appreciated .. Abhisek sir history knowledge is my favorite part as well as chetan sir
Discussion worth listening. The Speakers are all factuals and unbiased.
I don't know if I am late, but I would like to thank the UNACADEMY team for a beautiful and logical talk on the Manipur conflict. I would like to submit a few points here:-
1. All govt offices, hospitals, schools, colleges, university, engineering and medical colleges are located in imphal alone. Had they been distributed to the hills too, many tribals won't be coming to the valley and hence the valley won't be this populated and the meiteis won't have feared losing their land to the tribals. Development activities are all concentrated in the valley only and merely less than 5% of the fund are being spent in the hills.
2. Cultivation of Poppy and Drug Smuggling is not new in Manipur and saying that only one community is involved in absurd. The drug lords are those with money and power, and in Manipur money and power are mainly concentrated with the meiteis. The Kuki people, whosoever were involved were only transporters who were lured for easy and quick money. Targeting only a community will not solve the issue of drugs as the idea of easy money is lucrative to all and more so with those in power and money.
3. Propaganda and fake news have played a major role in escalation of the conflict and in adding fuel to the fire. The Kukis along with Manipur nagas had together held rallies against the meiteis demand for ST status. The Kukis were targeted specifically and fake messages were circulated to justify their attacks and rapes on Kukis.
Dear friends, I respect you. Let me be a part of you. The unity and integrity of India is founded on regionalism, of the north, south, east, west and the central regions.
Some states of Indian north east carved out from Assam but not Manipur. Manipur was merged on Oct. 15 1949 as a part of India.
The issues which pertains to the north eastern part of India has least TRP for media due which there is a lack of comprehensive coverage of any issues in these regions. For instance, I made a video on root causes of manipur conflict but people just swiped away. But, on other videos, they watched! That is the mentality of viewers because they mostly overlook the issues in north east. Take an example of Gorkhaland in Darjeeling region, in 1986, more than 10000 people died and in past few decades few more died in the demand for Gorkhaland. But how many of the Indians know about it??
I just love it❤❤❤
We Kukis ourselves donot own land ,it's the chef's who owns the land,forget about Meiteis 😂
Looking forward to more such debates sir

As an aspirant and a manipuri
I would like to invite the panelists to manipur please feel free to contact me or anyone else but please dont announced the arrival just get in contact with trusted colleagues or correspondent... I would like to show the ground reality to my respective subject experts that's present in here in this very discussion lets see if any new perspective arises! I know people will judge me for my comment since I am a Meitei but believe me I will not distort any facts nor add any masala.. I will just bring the expert to the respective hotspots, show visuals and provide valuable insights!
With no politics wow.... 👏👏👏
Kukis are not indigenous people of Manipur. They are immigrants.
