Understand the cause of Manipur violence in 4 points… The population of Manipur is about 38 lakhs. There are three main communities here – Maitei, Naga and Kuki. The Matais are mostly Hindus. The Nga-Kuki follow Christianity. falls under ST category. They constitute about 50% of the population. The Meitei community dominates the Imphal Valley, which covers about 10% of the state. Naga-Kuki constitute about 34 percent of the population. These people live in almost 90% of the state.

How the controversy started: The Meitei community is demanding that they too be given tribal status. The community filed a petition in the Manipur High Court for this. The community's contention was that Manipur had merged with India in 1949. Before that they got only tribal status. Following this, the High Court recommended to the state government that Meetei be included in the Scheduled Tribe (ST).

What is Maitei's argument: The Maitei tribe believes that years ago their kings called the Kukis from Myanmar to fight a war. After that he became a permanent resident. These people cut forests for employment and started opium cultivation. Due to which Manipur has become a triangle of drug smuggling. All this is happening openly. He formed an armed group to fight the Naga people.

Why Naga-Kuki is against: The other two castes are against giving reservation to the Meitei community. They say 40 of the state's 60 assembly seats are already in the Meitei-dominated Imphal Valley. In such a situation, if METOs get reservation in ST category, their rights will be divided.

What are political equations: Out of 60 MLAs in Manipur, 40 MLAs belong to Meetei and 20 MLAs belong to Naga-Kuki tribe. So far, only two of the 12 CMs have come from the tribe.
