India: How is the ethnic conflict in Manipur affecting ordinary citizens?

Ugh, this whole situation in Manipur is just a mess . It's like, can't these people just get along? The government's trying to step in and help, but it's hard to trust when everyone's accusing each other of stuff. And the international community is all over it like vultures, just waiting for India to mess up so they can swoop in and "help" too .

I mean, 260 lives lost? 60,000 displaced? That's crazy . And for what? Over land rights and identity? It feels like nobody cares about the regular folks who are stuck in the middle of all this chaos . Local businesses are struggling, families are torn apart... it's just heartbreaking.

And don't even get me started on the Kuki-Zo community feeling disenfranchised . Like, I get it, they feel ignored and whatnot, but is it really worth fueling more violence? I'm not saying there's an easy solution or anything, but can't we just have a calm, rational conversation about this stuff for once?

Meh, another conflict in India that's just gonna get swept under the rug... 260 lives lost and 60k displaced? That's a whole lotta people, fam. It's like, can't we all just get along? I mean, I'm not saying it's easy to fix this mess, but come on, Indian government, step up your game. Military control might've brought some order for now, but it's not gonna solve anything in the long run.

I feel bad for those Kuki-Zo people who are just trying to make a living and be heard. It's like, you can't even talk about your rights without getting shot at? And what about all the businesses that got destroyed? Like, what's next? Just gonna leave them in the dust? I don't know how Manipur is gonna bounce back from this.

And honestly, it's kinda sad that the international community can't even get a peace agreement going. I mean, you'd think with all those diplomats flying around, they'd be able to figure something out by now... Guess not. Anyway, here's to hoping that someday, Manipur will be able to put this mess behind them and start fresh.
