Kuki students held a sit-in protest in Delhi on May 3, marking the second anniversary of the ethnic violence that broke out in Manipur in 2023. Referring to the day as "Separation Day," the protesters demanded a separate administration for Kuki communities in the state. The protest comes amid continued tensions between Meitei and Kuki-Zo groups, which have left over 250 dead and thousands displaced. Protesters say the situation on the ground has already created a de facto separation—and are calling on the Government of India to formally acknowledge it. This video looks at what the protesters are demanding, the background to the conflict, and the current political status of Manipur, which is under President’s Rule following the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh. Thank you for watching our video! You can subscribe to our channel here: https://bit.ly/3c8Adi6 Visit https://www.thehindu.com/ for the latest updates, analysis, opinions, and more.
