What is happening and how to overcome the crisis:
What is happening in Manipur :
In Manipur there are two tribes Kuki and Meitei which are facing problems due
to land dispute, Kuki are Christian and have status of ST thus they can buy and
sell land anywhere in Manipur, but Meitei cant because they have OBC and SC
status. In Manipur conflicts occurred when High court made an appeal to give
them the status of ST, on 3rd May then Tribal Soliditary March occurred where
these people clashed.
Three main reasons are:
1. When High Court appealed the government on 3 May to grant
the status Tribal Soliditary March occurred where these tribes
collapsed.
2. Government removed all the illegal people from jungles to
overcome drug trade thus this issue happened.
3. We have to understand the Golden Triangle which consists of
Thailand, Burma and Laos and there drug trade is done in
maximum amount which started coming in churchandapur
state of Manipur and and we even have to know that Burma
formely called Myanmar is Asias next failed state as it has no
political instability
Solution to the problem : The solution of the Manipur crisis can be only to call
the meeting of some eminent persons of both the community that is Meitei
and Kuki and sit face to face and put their problems then the people from
government or any x.y.z organisation should give some formula which should
not be biased and should finish the turmoil, moreover they should convince to
both the community that both will be losers in fighting and both will be
winners by compromising on some conflict points.
If court decides some dispute than one will be winner and the other will be
looser. This dispute is between two communities. The problem will remain
same as the looser community will again go for agitation
If some eminent persons of both the community persuade some wise people
of both the community to sit together and the eminent persons after listening
both the community decides some formula which is acceptable to both.
It is quite possible that it can take some time as it can be decided in two to
three sitting.
But the problem will be overcome and the purpose will be achieved
by bringing peace.
