Order has been restored in Manipur following a large-scale intervention by India’s military; however, the wounds caused by the recent clashes between the mainly Hindu Meiteis ethnic majority and the mostly Christian tribal communities are deep, this according to Mgr Thomas Menamparampil, Archbishop Emeritus of Guwahati, a leading Catholic figure in north-eastern India.
“Our immediate target is protection, rescue and rehabilitation of people," the top court said, asking both the Union and state governments to give details of relief camps. The displaced “must be brought back to their homes. Religious places must also be protected," it demanded. The immediate cause for tension was the demand of the Hindu Meitei community for tribal status, which would have enabled them not only to enjoy tribal privileges, but also move into territories that are reserved for the tribals. The Meiteis being the dominant community of Manipur, if they were given tribal privileges in addition, tribal communities would have been seriously disadvantaged, losing out greatly in competition.
