Structural Roots of Kuki–Zo and Meitei Violence (1972–2026): An Academic Analysis with District-Level Illustrations from Manipur

Abstract: This paper traces the structural causes of sustained inter-ethnic violence between Meitei (valley) and Kuki-Zo (hill) communities in Manipur from statehood (1972) through 2026. It argues that colonial-era administrative divisions, constitutional asymmetries (land and Scheduled Tribe protections), competing territorial imaginaries, long-term militarisation, and governance deficits created a layered grievance architecture that crystallised into episodic and large-scale violence. The analysis is localised through district-level examples (Imphal East/West, Bishnupur, Churachandpur, Senapati, Tamenglong, Chandel and Kangpokpi) and is accompanied by a timeline (1972–2026) of major political, legal and violent episodes. Policy implications for trust-building, legal clarity, and devolved governance are offered.

Monetisation Steps of Facebook Posts (Clear & Practical Guide)

Earn while enjoying socialising on Facebook by simply being yourself and sharing what matters to you. Every post becomes a conversation, every interaction builds a community, and over time, those connections turn into opportunities. When your stories, ideas, and creativity start generating income, Facebook feels less like a platform and more like a place where connection and earning grow together naturally.

The joy of monetising Facebook posts lies in turning your voice into value. What begins as sharing ideas, stories, or community updates slowly transforms into recognition, reach, and reward. Each like, comment, and share becomes more than engagement - it becomes encouragement that your content matters. When earnings follow impact, monetisation feels less like money-making and more like purpose-finding sustainability.

Step-by-step guide to publish a new article on Blogspot

Blogging is the quiet joy of turning thoughts into words and sharing them with the world. It gives our ideas a home, our voices a space, and our stories a life beyond ourselves. Through blogging, we connect, reflect, and grow - one post at a time. 

In recent times, several friends who aspire to preserve and showcase their writings have approached me seeking guidance on how to create their own blogs. Earlier, on October 29, 2007, I had shared a detailed post outlining the steps for creating a blog. Building on that, the following is a clear, step-by-step guide to publishing a new article on Blogspot (Blogger), designed especially for beginners and first-time users.

Lamka Urgently Needs a Placement-Oriented Training Institute

Lamka (Churachandpur), the cultural and educational heart of southern Manipur, stands at a critical crossroads. Despite having a vibrant youth population, strong social institutions, and a long tradition of adaptability and service, the town continues to suffer from one glaring gap: the absence of a professional, placement-oriented training institute capable of connecting local youth to well-established institutions and reputed hotels in India’s metro cities.

Looking Back at 2025: A Year That Tested Manipur

The year 2025 will be remembered in Manipur not for its calm, but for its courage. It was a year that continued to test the soul of the land - its people, its relationships, and its future - yet it also revealed a quiet, enduring resilience that refuses to be erased.

For Manipur, 2025 unfolded in the long shadow of unrest that began in May 2023. The wounds—physical, emotional, and communal—did not heal easily. Displacement remained a painful reality for thousands. Trust between communities stayed fragile, often strained by fear, misinformation, and memories of loss. Normal life—schools, markets, movement—resumed only in fragments, reminding everyone that peace is more than the absence of violence; it is the presence of dignity and security.

World War III Concerns and Global Tensions

In an era defined by rapid geopolitical shifts and resurgent great-power competition, public fears about a potential World War III are hard to ignore.

Why Cement Roads Make Sense in Manipur’s Hills - Explained!

Manipur’s road crisis is not merely about poor connectivity - it is about choosing the right engineering solutions for a difficult terrain. A frequent question raised by citizens, especially in hill districts like Lamka (Churachandpur), is why cement concrete roads are being built instead of bitumen roads.

The answer lies in geography and climate.

Manipur’s hill districts receive intense monsoon rainfall, often accompanied by landslides and soil erosion. Bitumen roads, which are flexible by design, deteriorate rapidly when water penetrates the surface layers. Potholes, cracks, and surface peeling become inevitable within a few monsoon cycles.
