Call it India’s ignored conflict: it’s been two years since violence in Manipur erupted, yet 60-thousand remain displaced by intercommunal tensions between the majority Meitei and the Kuki-Zo communities. We’ll ask why mediation efforts have stalled and what’s changed since the central government imposed President’s Rule from Delhi at the start of the year. We’ll ask why the prime minister’s remained mostly silent on Manipur, why foreign journalists have to apply for special accreditation which is rarely granted. and ask our panel to react to our exclusive report filmed by France 24’s local team. More broadly, what lessons can the rest of India draw, particularly in regards to unrest and insurgencies in other border areas like Kashmir and the mountains near China?
