Manipur, a north-eastern Indian state is involved in an ethnic conflict between the Majority Meitei community and the minority Kuki tribe since May.

As there seems to be no end to the ethnic violence, it has already claimed more than 140 lives. In this episode we will be discussing the reasons behind the ethnic turmoil and the Indian governments handling of the crisis.
