I can't believe that a person outside the state of Manipur who is not belongs to any community of Manipur can understand the real facts and the history of the different tribal communities and their conflict and the struggle they are fighting for their identities along the border specially the major community the Meitei that the Kuki tribes blaming as ethnic cleansing. The Kuki don't know the brotherly treatment that has been given to them by Meitei . They should know it will bring peace and harmony for all the tribes in future. And they don't know the brutality of the lungi wearing militants from Myanmar they will eat them all if they don't give treatment timely with the Meitei. Only Meitei can learn this because we are Meitei. Thanks to you Madam for your kind interest and intervention in media about the real cause of the current situation in Manipur. Ima leibakna yaiphare. Jai hind.

Majority of Indians are with the Meities. They will also support the Kukis live a peaceful life along with Meities, Nagas etc. as long as they do not become greedy and launch an armed separatist movement.
Rami has literally nailed it, she aptly dissected the genesis of this problem like a skilled surgeon, will love to hear more from you in the future also, thanks to VAAD also for this informative discussion
बहुत ही गहराई से मणिपुर क्राइसिस को समझा और दुनिया को भी समझाया। गलत प्रचार के वजह से देश और दुनिया के सामने असहाय सा महसूस होने लगा था। हमें बहुत बहुत खुशी है कि आपने मणिपुर मैं हो रही परेशानी के जड़ को समझा और बेझिझक होकर दुनिया को बताया। आप दोनों को हमारी ओर से बहुत-बहुत साधुवाद🙏🏻

What my point is meitei are asking their demand through court which is following the rules of law and if kuki don't want meitei demands then they can also come to court and fight against it but burning house, killing enocient and demanding separate state dose not come under rules of law
Thank you so much for bringing the light and truth.

Thank you Madam Rami for being unbiased in approaching such sensitive matters so intricately people from the mainland fear to talk about and with such accuracy and precision addressing the challenges faced by the indigenous populace of the region let alone the state of Manipur. God bless you, may Panthoibi keep you safe in her loving embrace always. 🙏 You will always have a place in the hearts of the Meitei people.

You have support from lots of people from the mainland. The problem is our mainstream media is only interested in sensationalizing the situation and do not go into depth of it. And the opposition parties are only interested in discrediting the BJP government at the State and the Centre, so they take the sides of the Kukis. What Rami said as possible solution is exactly my viewpoint as well. Either include the Meities in ST list or give them the legal rights to buy land in the hills. Then stop the infiltration, destroy the narcotics business and paralyze foreign influence. Also Meities should realize that Congress is their enemy as Nehru abolished equal land ownership rights for Meities by not including them in the ST list. On the top of that he gave free pass to the Christian missionaries to convert the tribal people to Christianity.
Very well articulated. Having lived in North Nagaland for 3 years as a kid. I really feel grateful that viewers got a brief yet authentic account of the history and culture of the north eastern tribes. An exhaustive book on the subject will require many volumes. But this discussion is a sincere attempt at initiating a well informed dialogue. Much love and respect.
It is always insightful to listen to Rami ji. Thanks Arihant for getting brilliant minds, lovely souls on your podcast. Yes, their love towards humans and nation can be felt. Jai Hind

Hello . I don't have idea about karbis . But it's Dimasas who are undoubtedly fully hindu. Who have their version of khap,don't practise the inter gotra marriage are martial ( the assam rifles than assam levy was first formed when British took away the dimasa Kingdom by doctrine of lapse but still rebelled and killed a major of British army . As a result of it seeing their mental ,physical prowess they heavily recruited them in assam rifles ). If u look at records you will find almost villages of villages of Dimasas being recruited heavily( go to assam rifles records and history you will find ). I had 4 generations of family person serving and have served the Indian army .

To this day since the conflict started I haven’t seen a single Kuki coming out to talk for peace!!!☮️ All they want is separate administration, state, country And all they do is play the Victim in media and wage war in villages.
मेरा यह सुझाव है कि जो भाई बहन, इस्लाम या क्रिश्चियन धर्म अपना चुके हैं..वो अपने धर्म को पूरा पालन करें..कानून के अंतर्गत मिले अधिकार के साथ | जब इस्लाम या क्रिश्चियन धर्म मे जाति व्यवस्था है ही नहीं न ही अनुसूचित कोई है तो इन्हें अनुसूचित जाति या अनुसूचित जनजातियों को मिलने वाला लाभ बिल्कुल नहीं लेना चाहिए यह इस्लाम के मुताबिक भी सही नहीं और बाइबल के हिसाब से भी गलत हैं | अनुसूचित जाति व्यवस्था और अनुसूचित जनजातिय हिन्दुओं मे होती है..उन्हें ही इसका लाभ लेने दे.. यह न्यायसंगत नहीं कि हिन्दू धर्म तो त्याग देंगे..यह कह कि इसमे जाति व्यवस्था है लेकिन लाभ भी लेते रहेंगे दोनों बाते करना गलत है...अपने इशू और खुदा के बताये रास्ते पर चले..
