The Malaise in Manipur: Regardless of Who Wins, the Fires Will be Far from being Doused

News 18  

On January 21, 2022, Manipur marked the fiftieth anniversary of becoming a “fully-fledged” state of India. “It is our wish,” Indira Gandhi announced somewhat imperiously at the formal inauguration, “that Manipur may shine like a gem and impart beauty to the whole of India.” Indira had been pushed to make even that concession because by that time Manipuri nationalist resistance—the forerunner of the many subsequent rebel groups—had flamed on. The Police had a tough time in controlling the activities of Meitei State Committee and R.G.M., in addition to handling the agitation for statehood by different political parties and students …” Administrative heavy-handedness followed even after 1972, and continued even after Indira’s electoral ouster in 1977 during the Janata coalition years, and picked up upon her electoral return to helm India in 1980. Manipur’s myriad rebel groups have naturally leveraged this—and in this they were also helped along by hard-line elements in Bangladesh’s security establishment particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. Manipur’s incumbent chief minister, Nongthombam Biren Singh of the BJP—a former Ibobi protégé who switched sides in late-2016—inherited and in several ways perpetuated this collective malaise.
