Manipur, easternmost border state of India, is a place of paradox where despite more than half a century of unrest marked by armed conflict of differing degree – sometimes high and sometimes of low intensities, it has continuously produces sports person of high caliber. Despite the “conflict situation” our cultural troops continue to awe people in abroad. It is a place of bandh and economic blockade. These are called by both armed and unarmed groups. Such economy blockades were done by the hill people so often.
The people of Manipur are yet to find a solution to the ever growing gap between the inhabitants of the hill and plains. Our government stands accused of being biased in its policy towards the tribal inhabitants of the state. Delhi is also heeding to play politricks of divide and rule policy in between hill and plain people.
Why has this government not put into practice with full energy for ending the conflict that has cost thousands of lives. The conflict is at its lower ebb but by no means it’s over. With the government not looking for a long term solution this flash in the pan will be a memory and the people of this state will continue to live life in a dividing line not knowing whether they are living in times of peace or war-for in Manipur. It seems the two exist together.
