‘Cry for secession root cause of insurgency in Manipur’
Times of India | TNN | Jun 5, 2015, 06.30 AM IST
* What's the root cause of militancy in Manipur that has cost hundreds of lives over the past four decades?
A section of Meiteis (that's how Manipuris address themselves) want their state's independence from India. They reject Manipur's merger with the Indian Union on October 15, 1949, as an agreement signed under duress from New Delhi.
* What are the major Meitei insurgent outfits?
Anti-merger sections have set up six underground outfits: People's Liberation Army, United National Liberation Front, People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak, People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (Progressive), Kangleipak Communist Party and Kanglei Yawol Kane Lup (Organisation to Save Kanglei Revolutionaries). Kangleipak is Manipur's old name. These groups, which are active mostly in the Meitei-dominated Imphal Valley, have formed a coordination committee popularly known as CorCom.
