Manipur is on the boil again. This time after a video of two Kuki women being assaulted and paraded Naked in full public view went viral. The alleged mastermind behind the incident has been arrested today after huge furore and outcry. The ethnic clashes that started since May 3 has perhaps reached its most abhorrent point. In this video, we bring to you a recap of the most crucial flashpoint in this conflict between Kuki and Meitei tribes in the state. The ethnic clashes between the majority Meitei community and the tribal Kukis have a long history. On April 28, the tribal groups in Manipur had called for a 12-hour total shutdown in protest against the state government's survey on reserved forests/protected forests and eviction from villages on the day of Chief Minister Biren Singh's visit to Churachandpur. The recent tension escalated after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was held in the state's hill districts on May 3 to protest against the Meitei's demand for Scheduled Tribe status Very soon, the situation aggravated, and large-scale violence were reported almost all across the state. Violence first erupted during a rally in the Torbung area of Churachandpur.
