India’s northeastern state of Manipur has cut off its 3.5 million people from mobile Internet services for over a month as ethnic clashes over a dispute involving access to affirmative action benefits continue to erupt.
The fighting has left more than 100 people dead and over 37,000 in refugee camps as mobs set fire to homes, vehicles and places of worship.
India’s northeastern states lag behind most of the country in terms of development and government jobs are the main source of employment. The Meiteis, Kukis and Nagas have diverse cultures and traditions and compete for the same land, natural resources and political power. A rush of refugees from Myanmar following the 2021 military coup has added another layer of complexity to the ethnic divide. The refugees share ethnic ties with the Kukis of Manipur, leading to fears among the Nagas and the Meiteis that the influx will boost the population of the Kukis.Manipur has experienced armed conflicts since it was created soon after India’s independence. A Naga separatist movement and other smaller insurgencies simmered for decades.
