Violence in Manipur has been caused by the expansion of Hindutva to north-eastern India, says social activist

The Hindu  

Terming the violence and atrocities on Kukis by Meiteis in Manipur as State- He was addressing a seminar on the tragic tale of Manipur organised by Karnataka State Dalit Sangharsh Samithi at S.M. Comparing the Manipur violence with the Gujarat violence of 2002, Mr. Shivasundar said that the Gujarat carnage and the Manipur violence have one thing in common, which, according to him, is: the active support of the ruling government. Holding that any State government which fails to protect the lives, honour and the assets of its own people has no right to be in power, Mr. Shivasundar said that the Union government should immediately dislodge the Biren Singh government in Manipur and impose the President Rule. Putting the Manipur case in a historical context, Mr. Shivasundar said that what is happening in Manipur is a counter to the revolution of Dr. B.R. Now, Brahminism is, in a counter revolution, defeating the Constitution that upholds equality and freedom of human beings,” Mr. Shivasundar said.
