Northeastern View | Manipur and Nagaland: Two conflicts in Northeast India that the new NDA government should prioritise

Hindustan Times  

The new National Democratic Alliance government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, took charge for the third consecutive time on June 9. The diverse region has many problems, but the new NDA government in New Delhi must use its fresh mandate to prioritise two: the raging ethnic conflict in Manipur and the Naga peace talks. The new NDA government must accept its mistakes, return to the drawing board and initiate a fresh attempt to foster genuine reconciliation between the two sides. Importantly, the NDA government needs to acknowledge that the vexed Naga question is closely linked with the Kuki-Zo issue in Manipur, wherein two different imaginations of territorial autonomy could clash. Acting as a neutral mediator, New Delhi must work towards factoring Kuki-Zo aspirations in the Naga talk process and Naga aspirations in its existing dialogue mechanism with the Kuki-Zo groups.
