Manipur blockade: 100 days and counting...
Zee News | Rd. Alexander | November 16, 2011
As the economic blockade in Manipur completed 100 days on the 8th of November, there are a few questions that need to be answered. One amongst them is: “For how long will the blockade continue?” It’s completed 100 days and is counting...
In reality, there is no easy or one way solution to the problem of the state. For a state where the Meiteis are the majority of the ethnic group in a population of 2.7 million, (they form about 60 percent of the total population) they would never ever give in to the demands of the Nagas (they occupy about 60-70 percent of the total land area but form just about 20-30 percent of the population) for a ‘Greater Nagaland’ or ‘Nagalim’ as it would mean a major chunk of their homeland attached to Nagaland.
Hence, one does not see a possible or easy solution to the problems of the Nagas and the Kukis in the state. Perhaps, one of the solutions could be for the government to intervene and bring about an understanding between the different groups, and make them live in peace. But only if that was as easy as saying it.
