Causes of Manipur Violence
The immediate provocation for the ethnic unrest appears to have been the demand for the Meitei community, which accounts for 53% of #Manipur's population and primarily inhabits the Manipur Valley, to be included in the ST list.

But that is only a proximate cause. The underlying anger, simmering for a long time, has other reasons.
These are linked not just to the Govt's clampdown on reserved and protected forests in the State's hill areas but also to the Kukis' feeling of being persecuted.

Despite Haokip’s and other tribal people’s protests, Biren Singh remained unfazed, and has stridently pushed back against the tribal people’s protests against expanding reserved forests.
If you have more reasons, you can add them..

After our thread about how immigrant Kuki fueling #ManipurViolence numerous Kuki bots are countering without a proper game plan. This is a very amature attempt to safeguard Kuki militants. But it is time to debunk the entire #Fake Kuki bot account ecosystem. (1/7)

A Thread-
All accounts are new, created in May 2023, have a very low tweet count and no other interactions on the timeline, and maximum accounts have 0 or few followers. All of these bot accounts spreading fake propaganda to defend #Kuki militants. (2/7)
Similar fake bot acc, doing WhatsApp group forward retweets, each such fake video or news tweet gets the same set of retweets within 10 minutes. Those propaganda videos or news don't have any other engagements from an organic audience. (3/7)

A Thread -
A propaganda website alt News which describes itself as an alternative News and Views in the Post-Truth World selected a particular video from our thread and published a fact-check about the video. They did so without proper research that Bnei Menashe are Kuki immigrants. (2/13)
As per them, we have mistakenly shared a video of Bnei Menashe soldiers of Israel as immigrant Kuki militants, does the fact checker knows who the Bnei Menashe community actually are? The Bnei Menashe community are nothing but part of the Kuki tribal umbrella. (3/13)

An exclusive thread-
Manipur is home to the Meiteis, who form 53% of the state’s population (including #Meitei Pangals, or Muslims) and are concentrated in the Imphal Valley which forms just 10% of the state’s total geographical area. (2/15)
The Kukis belong to the Kuki-Chin-Zo ethnic group that inhabits some of the hill districts of Manipur and adjoining Mizoram as well as the Sagaing and Chin provinces of Myanmar. #Kuki form about 30% of the state’s population. (3/15)
Why #ManipurOnFire?
Manipur has 3 major ethnical groups:
1. Meitei
2. Naga
3. Kuki
Meitei are mostly Hindus while
Naga & Kuki follows Christianity.
The current ongoing violence at Manipur is by Christian Naga and Kuki against Hindu Meitei.

In 1949, Meitei were 64% in Manipur.
Religious Population:
Hindu ~ 50%
Christian ~ 35-40%
Since religion doesn’t matter for declaration under Scheduled Tribe,
Meitei approached High Court of Manipur seeking reservation in Scheduled Tribe category.
So why #ManipurOnFire?

Manipur High Court ruled in favour of Meitei:

>Meitei to get rights to buy land in Hills which is dominated by Naga & Kuki.
So Meitei are attacked!

A. Why do you oppose Meitei demand for ST status?
1. If the meitei dominant community is granted a ST recognition, the Constitutional provision of Article 371 C that safeguards the interest of the present scheduled tribes can be rendered null and void.
