Why Nagas left Imphal Valley

By Somi Mashangva, Senapati.
During the 2001 Anti-Ceasefire, Anti-Naga and Anti-Christian demonstration in the Meitei Valley, Imphal, many Naga families left the valley. It’s been over nine years now and the dust have settled down, or so it seems; many have returned to the Meitei Valley.
But many Naga families have decided to stay on in the Naga Hill-districts. You may ask why.
Firstly, we really do not belong to the Meitei Valley. Our Meitei brethren have strongly endorsed this fact. The Anti-ceasefire, Anti-Naga and Anti-Christian slogans of 18th June, 2001 – “Nagas go back to Nagaland”, “There are no Nagas in Manipur” and “Christianity is a foreign religion…” etc. meant exactly that.
Secondly, Nagas and Meiteis are different. Nagas are unique Christian Nation. We never belonged to India. Meiteis are very much Indian ever since the Merger Pact of 15th October 1949. Hence it almost impossible for Meiteis to break free from India. That is why, the MP Thokchom Meinya claimed “Manipur is a hindu state” in CNN-IBN debate (May 20, 2010).
Thirdly, Christianity is not a western religion. It is not a religion for that matter. It is the truth. It is a relationship between Jesus Christ and man. Christians do not worship the created beings or spirits or things. We worship the creator. Whether you like it or not the hard truth is that Jesus Christ is the only Saviour of the world and its future Judge. Majority of the Meiteis follow Sanamahi, Gouradharma and Hinduism etc.
We will therefore stay on in our Naga districts and continue to pray for the victory of the Naga Nation – Nation for Christ!

Mr. Somi, Some suggestions:-
1. There are no so called Meitei valley, you can say that, Meitei mostly live in valley. But Meiteis do not feel that our land and your land,. They live with different comonity in harmony.
2. Not all Nagas in Manipur do not feel that they sould create your so called nagalim. Only mostly Tangkhuls have that intentions.
3. Most Nagas left Imphal valley because they are affraid of their own statement, that Meiteis will rect to them..liek Nagas did with Kukis in 90s. Meitei react in very much democratic way.
4. Do not be very much proud of your word like "Nagaland" Do not narrow your thinking.Meiteis will never kill you unless you ill treated Meiteis in own your area. Your people are very much habitual with weapons. unfortunately your people use that too to kill human your own state's people.
5. Unfortunately you have mentioned that Nagas for Christ, Why are you betraying Christ in this connections. If you truely belive Christ, how come your thinking of revolt..and creating riots in small state like in Manipur. with such statement I am ashame to say I am christian from Manipur.
6. show your love for Christ…. that's it for now…
Manipuri, I think you’ve read the above article. You must have learnt how desperate your meitei people when they tried to drive out tribal from the Valley. The slogans we read here are not the words of one person or a group, they are the words of all meitei civil organizations.. Check it out again, this is a fact; you need to learn something from here. “The Anti-ceasefire, Anti-Naga and Anti-Christian slogans of 18th June, 2001 – “Nagas go back to Nagaland”, “There are no Nagas in Manipur” and “Christianity is a foreign religion…” etc.”
Mr. Reson, You need to understand:-
1. The reaction of meitei behind it.
2. When ceasefire is declare between NSCN (IM) and Ind. govt. why you people think that Ind. Govt. has declared Ukhrul, senapati so on as Nagaland..? (playcards like welcome to Nagaland at senapati….)
3. why are you so concern about Meiteis, do you afraid of them? they will not swollow you man..
4. If meitei has your kind of tendency then there could be war many years ago..
5. so better watch our language and action….
My Dear Manipuri,
Pliz refer this write up:
Meiteis are very talented, skilled artisans, beautiful people, culturally rich, very religious, educated, very quick at learning things and excellent when it comes to imitating others. But they are a pitiable lot. They have no revelation and hence no future.
Look at all the love, respect, hospitality and praise that are being showered upon them by their neighbours, namely – the minority Muslims, the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes and non-Manipuris. The Indian Government loves them very much; she has redeemed the Meiteis from the debt-ly mire many times; concentrated all the wealth and developmental projects in her lap. Yet, gratitude is a word alien to many of the Meiteis. Greed has blinded their eyes. They have bartered the future for the present. Their insatiable thirst for money and women, craze for immediate fame and opulence, etc. has led them astray.
Past experience has taught the Nagas to know them better. It’s going to take more than human effort to trust them again. Why, it is so hard for us now to trust even their fourth estate! Thanks a lot to them for the regular one-sided reports! We have tolerated them long enough and it is high time we parted ways. We would like to warn the minorities – Muslims, SC/ST and non-Manipuri friends to be careful in their friendship with the Meiteis. We would also like to caution the Indian Armed Forces to take care in their dealings with the Meiteis; for it is futile to protect the people who inevitably will turn against you sooner or later. Remember how the Meitei UGs had siphoned out large sums of the Government money meant for the development and sustenance of the SC/ST and the Minority Mulsims to establish a parallel Government with Sajik Tampak as their Head Office. That was the time when the whole state of Manipur went without salaries for months. Many Heads of Deptts. had begun to attend office there. The Meitei UGs had already started to harass the tribals in Chandel and Churachandpur districts. Had it not been for the timely intervention of the Indian Army, they would have succeeded. We are not saying that you should be enemies but we just thought it was our moral responsibility to warn you – just in case. Remember, a stitch in time saves nine.
mr.pujan do you know that not only meitai UGS collect money?NSCN (IM) n K,KUKI UGs and PULF all UGS took their share from the Govt fund indirectly and raise their mony by extortion?you are realy such an ignorant person person!!!!!
The very Autonomous District Council Act 1971 was enacted by the Indian Parliament and accordingly rules were framed in the year of 1972 to suit the needs. In the rule of procedure of Manipur Assembly the valley people or the State Government and its Assembly has nothing to do with the hill related matter. Manipur Government cannot take up any decision without the recommendation/consent of the HILL AREAS COMMITTEE which is formed by the elected members of the Hill Tribal People
7 MLAs have tendered their resignation in protest against the ADC election. But one should not lose sight that they are the same MLAs who have recommended and insisted the Government to pursue the Election process by signing in black and white earlier. The 7 MLAs should be true parliamentarian acknowledging the ethics that Assembly is not a fish market where anybody can lash out whatever comes to their cheating tongue. Now even if the 7 MLAs are against the ADC Election, 13 hills tribal are voting in favour of the ADC election in the 20 members Hill Area Committee body. Therefore, conduct of election is democratically granted.
if you know eveything then tell me why many people cast their vote except NAGAS in ADC.even in nagas areas many candidate are came out eventhough their life is in threat and thier houses are already destroy.for muivah's visit …he is still a criminal in manipur. how will you feel if Kasab roam freely in india or set free to pakistan…..thats it alll thank you
Ya right….And NSCN (IM) grows money in their coat yard… "Drug trafficking from Myanmar is reported to be a major source of income for the NSCN-IM"(refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_C…. Please do a proper research before you talk, if you don't mine. Drugs, which is the main cause for crippling the foundation of any nation is trafficked by the Christ believer NSCN IM from Myanmar to other parts of the world to generate their income. This is what Christ preached… to weaken the youths of other nations and crumple the state.
So, Mr. Manipuri is saying that Meitei have a good reason to drive out Nagas with their slogans “Nagas go back to Nagaland”, “There are no Nagas in Manipur”, and “Christianity is a foreign religion…..”etc”.
@manipuri, you said your people meaning nagas, are very much used to weapon and they use that to kill human. Now, lets see who is quite used to killing human-
1. manipuris butchered more than 500 muslims in march 1993.
2. manipuri militants butchered dozens and dozens of hindi speaking people in imphal and issued quit notice to them failing which, they will continued with their butchered.
3. Manipuri militants outrageously raped 27 Hmar gals in Tipaimuk in 2006 in broad daylight in front of their family and villagers.
4. Manipuri militants planted IED (Improvised explosive device) and landmines in kuki villages in khengjoi sub-div chandel, that killed several death and left several invalid (blind, paralysed, lame, lost of arm, etc) in 2005-06.
These are few examples to refresh your amnesiac memory w.r.t manipuris, not to mentioned of the many tribal funds diverted for the benefits of the manipuris. Now, ponder upon this and see as to who is the real killer and trouble maker of the so called manipur state.
Mr.evely i think you are a one side person!!!!all NSCN(im) are sucking blood for more than 30 yrs and kills many naga too. KNA and other militant also planted bombs at the market many time you sholud know that!!!!!!!!this is what they do actualy and we people are against this but ansam and NSF are supporting NSCN IM. i think you are pro muivah. m not in favour of any militant group and against them!!!!!!!and one more thing dont ever blam one community.try to grow up man!!!! dont live in the past, be broad minded
there is muslim also and other christan also …we lively happily together.its not like that we hate nagas. but what we hate is the intention of taking away our land.and we hate muivah for all his crime………that is all so plz dont be a narrow minded.
@Manipuri, I'm sorry to state these facts:–
1. Your militants PLA, UNLF, MPA, etc are imposing Meitei lon to innocent villagers in Churachandpur remote areas. This is fact. I was told to speak in Meitei and if i don't know meitei when i return to manipur next time, they were going to punish me. They beat the Bengolis like they are no human beings for no other reasons, just because they don't/can't speak meitei language.
2. Meitei terrorists/militants are raping tribals at gunpoint. I hope u know this aas well. but u people are not ready to accept that we tribals have our land and ways of living which must be protected. But ur govt won't allow us. They pass such derogatory Tribal council act without the people's consent. Naga MLAs had no choise other than simply submit to Ibobi's militias warnings.
3. Kukis, Nagas, Hmars, Paites, Koms realise their Mongoloid outlook, but Meiteis bent on Hindu/Aryan supremacy. If you really want to be peace, give us back our land and order will follow
3.
i think you are a muivah's follower thats why you speak like that ….nscn (im) and all militant commit crime thats why they are in the criminal list we all are against them.we all hate militant groups who oppose to our development and freedom.so we should stand up together against them.NSCN IM also rape hundreds of kukis during ethnic cleansing operation. so why dont we fight against all this odd for brighter future instead of falling ,as a puppet of politician and fighting against each other which is a meaningless ………
Where were you when innocent Hmar women were raped by Meitei militants. You people, not a single one was there in New Delhi, when we joined our Hmar brother to protest such cruel acts. At that time the Hmars were not in war with you or your militants.
War time and peace time is separate. I am understanding cruel acts are committed during conflicts like war…but your militants are doing all cruel acts to tribals in peace time also. You, as a civilian never come to support us in our fight against such cruelty.
Hmar, Kuki, Nagas in delhi are always together when there is cruelty. Only now some people in Meitei community realising the need to support such events…which we sincere doubt because their suport now looks opportunistic.
then where were you when NSCN IM kills Kishan DC of Ukhul when he try to stop the wrong utilisation of fund for public.killing innocent people of no reason is not a war.its for voice that hav to make so that all public come to know about the fact …..for example the protest of killing LUNGNILA ELIZABETH was supported by all community..but the NSCM IM give a save haven to those criminal…..
We already realised by that time that it was not going to mak any difference support you. You never really cared. Take for example the xase where some 20 Hmar innocent woment at Lungthulen were raped by UNLF terrorists. we call Meira paibis, Meitei ngos, nobody come out to protest .we were invited too by hmar students and we joined not because we were againt you but against your militants
my fren evergreen cool down ,polluted nagas n kukis cant blame our mother land they r ass hole ,my fren they r stupid guys,we hav a strong relationship wit reals nagas n kukis c we hav a great relaqtionsip wit nscn(k) n KNA(they r srong group n militant),i support ur view n ur comment,i will give one example of NSCN(im)c they caught the killer who u \kill d innocent elizabeth,but dey didnt give even A single punishment to dat guy who kill elizabeth why coz nscn (im )is corrupted.HA HA kikavi don think about unlf n all das militants,we meteis,we respect ur community,never try speak non sense about one community,wake up buddy,we don want u to go in wrong way,kukis n meteis r so related to each other.we stand for india
let me ask kikavi – who has proven the alleged sexual assault as rape….how can 10 men have sex wit 23 women at the same time and place? have common sense….how do a you communicate to an old woman of other tribe? for obvious reason,english is not the answer….anyone can rightly guess the right answer…..
@chalamba, I am dumbstruck by your outright denial!! Do people enjoy being raped or their morality tainted for being a raped victim to accused someone of raped if they are not?? Remember, raped brings in a bad moral reputation and morality is held in high dignity among tribal groups. Your denial is nothing but cheap talks only to defend your cheap manipuri militants.
Also, the inquiry on the raped victims was carried out and confirmed as raped. The manipuri militants were weight, measured and found guilty of mass raping 27 hmar gals. So, disgusting of you to deny this fact.
Rape is an easy allegation to be made but difficult to be proved…the allegation was a cheap propaganda of a few hmar millitants including you…i wud like to know which court of India proved it to be a case of rape and when and the FIR no…well i don't support any millitant but i am against anyone who try to create communal enmity.
mr. kikavi….
dont be so narrow minded…..
live happy… and make other to live happly….
@all…. a taste of Meitei militants cruelty……………they kill pigs and beat owner infront of kids

m proud of UNLF
Mr Athouba, this only shows you are supporting a terrorist organisation. UNLF are imposing Meitei lon on the tribals in villages and raping the girls at gun point. Who do you know..u know nothing.
Mind it. The hills belongs to the tribals not so called meiteis. if there is suppose to be peace in manipur everyone must have control over their own land. meitei people in valley and tribal people in the hills. the hills were never part of manipur. So, don't say it's your land.
who even made this video… if you think this is real stay in your hills and villages you guys dont deserve to come outside in the real world, you guys dont even have the brains to realize what is fake…
Isit Meitei militants are specially trained to rape? And some brainless meitei are praising the cruelty of the so called revolutionar army. When lions from the jungle roars the dogs at imphal valley kept their mouth tightly shut.
that's a fake video to make enmity among communities.Plz delete this video.
looks like a staged drama..
Well Well…. please have a look at the video closely….. do watch it with someone who knows a bit about film making….. the way this video's been shot…. its scripted…. don't fool around, there are people in the world who knows things better then you do.
hey the clip is really nice…why the millitant is not kicking hard the owner?is it because he is a relative of the millitant…and yes the camera man,nice job good angles….standing unharmed wit the camera!!!! Thangboi…for a clip to be really good a rehearsal must be done…..so you cooked the pig???
THIS IS A DRAMATISED VIDEO CLIP CAUSE:
1. THE CAMERA ANGLE IS PLACED TO SHOW THE EVENTS MINUTELY.
2. THE SHOTS ARE NOT TAKEN HIDEN.
3. THE SHOTS TAKEN WHEN OWNERS ARE SEEN RUNNING DOWN IS PERFECT
THEREFORE, THIS CANNOT BE REAL LIFE PICTURE
You're correct..they are meitei militants from UNLF. They paid rs 500 for a pig worth well over rs 5000 !!!!! bloody blood suckers
Wht bout Dr Kishan that was Brutally kill by NSCN(IM)
thangboi u don knw wht is going on in manipur,u better shut ur mouth,u knw who is Dr.kishan ha,he d one who trys to brings meteis n tribals together ,ur comment wlii make poison to those who love n try to bring the integrity
Atouba he deserved 2 die. Manipur must get rid off such currupt official, who is messing around
@ J. sema
I don't think you really know the matter.. Who is corrupt? Why was he killed by the NSCN (IM) people? It is known to all. Ask your own so called "non-communal Naga people" about it, they will not be able to even raise their heads in shame. Who is the corrupt one, you will better know it from them. Try it son!! I hope you do believe Naga People.
@ sema , tell me why he deserved to die….. please!!! i m really counting own your reasonings…… tell me in precise who is he ?? what he did ?? and why he deserved to die…? and we will take it from there….. Let me see how much your pea size brain knows bout thinks you talk…..
@sema .. haha … the whole world is so small for you right , that you can post such kind of shameless totally false comments and feel you can dupe people … well sorry to inform you … u are the only one who's making joke of yourself …. try to come out of your incessant support slogans for NSCN IM ( which happens to be only supported by sema in nagaland ), try to educate yourself with the things happening around instead of climbing atop a tree on some hill and being an asshole … Dr. Kishan's story is wide open and even the nscn knowing the gravity of the matter had handed over the culprit …. now you made a big mistake by posting your comment. now you ll be hunted down …. as you have sparked this issue again … and btw Kishan did not secure his IAS status through quota like you under privileged under developed …. under educated morons. lol … i have no other words for you …. but you have surely proved to be a stigma for numerous other Nagas who would condemn the kiling of Dr. Kishan. Look b4 you leap ..
yes u rite very rite, nscn im eliminats those people like kisan, u better go back to the early 20's, who kill hundreds of innocent kukis ha? o o o o my god jesus they must also b same like Dr KISHAN, and what what nscn im for christ, this is totally bulshit, U knw wat the heavenly father and his begotten son lord Jesus christ burns those people who kills people, u people kill innocent kuki children even inside the church, and for that even today kukis observe the black day where ur said heroes nscn im murders hundreds of them in it road.
i think the time has come for the kukis brothers to take precaution and stay alert bkoz nscn im thinks all of them as Dr KISHAN and can hunt them down again
you seem to be more concern about a pig than for a human life….are you a decendant of the pig family? i hope you are a homo sapien….
thangboi hmmm sounds like u belong from the EIMI tribe, dont be so childish little boy com out of ur cocoon world n act like a mature man even if u r not, ask to anyone its an edited film, and thanks those so kol militants still paid 500 rs they sud not hav paid a peny or a pai, koz they are going to have it together at last,
WHO IS THE REAL KILLER OF MANIPUR ??

WHO IS THE REAL KILLER OF MANIPUR ??
Check out this webpage and you will find the truth who is the one – Nagas or Kukis or Meiteis or others. http://www.e-pao.net/epPageExtractor.asp?src=rela….
REAL SUKERS OF MANIPUR IS NCSN(IM)
hey Mr Pujan did u rem ur IM candres raping an innocent girl inside the bus coming from Assam …
Large amount of tax they r taking in the national highway….
Dr Kishan that was brutally kill beyond recognition ….
R u insulting us by saying that 4th point
Its ur IM candre that bribe ur people to creat scene in MAO…
we dont support any of the meities terrorist.. luk at urself
If we think like u people,"forming greater nagaland that in-habitat naga people",
i say every part of the world will be for meities if we form greater manipur haha…
enough is enough
manipuris are going nuts with their greediness, even upto the extent of blaspheming the naga protestors as being bribe by nscn. FY1, I or any educated nagas who knows naga political history doesnot need the nscn bribe but we all are in heart, soul and mind into nagalim.
And pls be inform that, nagas are claiming only their ancestral land that is thousands of yrs old. But you can be assured that nagas are not claiming any of the purchased or gifted lands in other parts of the world. Only a dumbo would dare to claim purchased or gifted lands.
yes,i know the land of nagas belong to the nagas but we can live together without carving a separate state unnecessarily…infact the blue-blooded nagas do not like the idea of nagalim in their hearts…they are crying for peace,for an order because their future is at stake in the hands of nscn-im and their headless believers…
your calling meiteis greedy… thats the biggest joke coming from a naga.
you and your people live on quotas, any aspect in your life you people need them may it be colleges, jobs… come outside of those quotas and do some hard work, i still remember your so called students union calling for blockades because they wanted to decrease the minimum passing marks for the medical entrance exams for ST quotas, you people cant clear the the exam and you wanna be doctors, you people want everything easy do some hard work before you point your fingers…
Somi Mashangva says: “Whether you like it or not the hard truth is that Jesus Christ is the only Saviour of the world and its future Judge.”
I would like to ask Somi – who told you that? Why do you think the Islamic prophet Muhammad is not the only Savior? Do you know who controls the Church organizations (both Catholic and Protestants)?
if christianity is not a religion and if jesus whom u worship isthe Creator and The only saviour mthen WHO CREATED DINOSAURS WHICH LICED MUCH BEFORE JESUS CHRIST.This isthe thinking of the nagas without knowing ht truth and facts( the fact manipur doesnot belong to the nagas they are already there before the *nagas * was even created by politicians.But what manipuris worship is iust our GODFATHERS froom our history ND OUR RELIGION never tells that they have created mankind or world or blah blah blah…
Sur you are right that Nagas or rather tribals have this kind of thinking. But what kind of thinking do you have when you say about Dinosaurs and Christ. Better read something about the subject before you give a comment. Don't make a fool of yourself. Respect others and yourself and you will gain prestige. Get understanding and pray for a discerning mind and heart. There is Wisdom in it
he he he nice saying, u are grown up, u believe in fact rather then myth, u knw the great scientist from UK STEPHEN HAWKINGS the of today's modern physics, he is a catholic but says the universe is not created by god but by the laws of physics, and what would we say about the truth fact that the earth revolve round the sun,but catholic church denied and even executed Copernicus, if u argue about religion than all of u are dump teetotaler, so believe in what u believe, if christian says this the only religion than they must also say the sun revolve round the earth like the church said, m a christin too so dont try to bring bad things regarding religion and this for everyone
it's a shame that these kind of retards are given a public platform to instigate religious hatred and separatism.. these people are no different than KKK and Talibans..ban these fellows .. Jai Hind!
Dear all,
I’m a Naga, born and brought up in Imphal. Even though I stayed far from my native place, I always have a deep connection with my people. I love my people and I’m happy to say I’m proud to be a Naga. I still live in Imphal. I also have a close connection with some of the people of other communities as I’m brought up in that kind of atmosphere where different communities lives together including the non-manipuris.
During my school life, I have classmates from different communities, but most of them belong to Meitei community. It is said that one learn the most during his/her childhood life or school life, and I believe I learned a lot about the culture,traditions,believes etc.of most of the communities in Manipur.
Today, Im 24 and as far as I know I find no fault in their believes,cultures and others that could possibility stand as a threat to other communities, instead I find it all good and beautiful.
There has been many ethnic wars and conflicts between the communities of Manipur in the past years. I believe that now all Manipur people are suffering from post-ethnic war trauma, where there is a constant fear in everyone’s mind that any time there could be an eruption of conflict between the communities. I tried to find the reason behind the arise of these past conflict and while still in the process of learning, I found that these conflicts and killings are erupted due to mislead by the leader or (group of leaders) of their respective community, group or organisation. These leaders are selfish and greedy, looking for their own benifits. They pollute and exploit the mind of the public and led them in the wrong way. There is always a democratic and peaceful way of solving the problem apart from killing each other. Why do people fear the politicians(corrupted politicians), insurgent, militants and scared to raise our voice against them even though their number are much smaller then any of the community? Its is because those few people are united. Yes,these people are united and thats why they are strong and we are feared of them.
Now the damage is so large that even if we killed all the bad leaders, its not going to solve the problem. The only way we can solve this is to start working at the grassroot level. We have to start from the ground level. Try to understand each other by listening to each other. We have so much to say that we don’t have time to listen to what others have to say. Most of the problems between people are solved just by listening to each other. We can see the effect of listening from the psychiatrist who treat their patient just by listening. Start with your friend,colleague,neighbour etc. Then learn to adjust with each other. There is “no two person” on this earth who have exactly similar character that they like the same thing and want to do the same thing. They have to adjust each other in order to live together. We should always remember that a random act of kindness is a step towards building a culture of peace.
Thats all I want to say. If I have hurt someone sentiment with what I have said then i’m very sorry for it. This is just my opinion.
Thanks
i realy appreciate your point !!!! m also an anti militant! i hate every militant in our state because of them we are not able to grow and develop properly! we sholud rise our voice together against this anti social group!!!!
@Pujan, what our mothers and sisters did was the bravest think a woman can do in order to protect their dignity. The whole world respects them for what they did in order to keep their pride n i m proud of them…. Please open your eyes wide and look at what your sisters are doing in other parts of the world…. at times we are so ashamed of them that we don't want to tell other people that we are neighbors… the cheapest of all order…and this is a fact from which you can't run away.
Instead of telling us what we are, I think you should put your time and energy on giving your sisters some moral values.
you are saying bribing !!!!shame on you this is what our mother do to protect their children!! by the way go to any city bangalore or delhi you will see who is striping in front of people …i dont want to say it by myself and sometime i feel sorry for them and also shy to say that they are from NE…….be carefull before uttering a word!!!!!thank you
Oh, perverse generation! calling good a evil, evil a good….
u are calling the truth a terrorist nd terrorist calling a hero in Imphal, u people. But who know the truth, they will understand who is really behind that. And by nature, behaviour & character we understand who really he is…. instead of covering ur crimes plz submissive to it and ask for forgive then, you will be blessed……
Dear Meitei brothers don bark like mad dogs,
HERE IS THE WITNESS & TRUTH: CHECK OUT!
Constitutional Crisis in Manipur by Nandita Haksar, a human rights lawyer and writer. http://www.mainstreamweekly.net/article2149.html
Dear Brother Lungsha
I am meitei and in my opinoin i think you must be naga. The only solution is all the Naga districts should intregated nagaland, then there will be mutual between the two communites. Meitei should be declared as SC/ST so that we can enjoy the reservation like you guys , because if you guys are tribal then we should also be declared ST.
Hi dudes, please know and learn that violence or disturbing society or others does not bring peace and growth. Focus on what you can do around you and I hope neither state or central govt has restricted you from becoming a man of your choice and helping other, lead by an example and dont choose the easy means to fame, it will soon bring you down. Plz know that its not easy task to disintegrate as well as integrate, first you be a successful man then think how intelligently contribute to the cause of your choice, dont waste your time here because no one benefits from this internet wall where any tom,dick, harry can write anything. Hope I made some sense to you.
Please read my fellow nagas http://www.kukination.net/humanitarian.php
Thousand times meiteis speaks about manipur unity but their heart nd action are all about disunity. And also a threat to everyone. The only community in d world living without integrity. If they really wanna live with others like Nagas, Kukis, etc. they sud recongnised nd understand d other rights. Meiteis, be our gud neighbour rather than a threat.
Mr. Somi, what is so wrong about the fact that there are no Nagas in Manipur? The fact is that there are Tangkhuls, Maos, Marams, Kabuis but there are no Nagas in Manipur. The only Nagas that are there are some students from Nagaland pursuing MBBS degree in RIMS, Imphal. The Nagas have been our neighbours since time immemorial and that is a fact. We had no hard feelings against them till the infamous blockade started. We now have to realign our thinking to the new reality because the Nagas allowed the Tangkhuls to use the Naga soil to create a lot of hardships for the people of Manipur. We are also appalled by the fact that the Nagas allowed the Tangkhuls to misuse the name of Nagas to create problems for Manipur. What is so unique about "the unique history of the Nagas"? That Mr. Muivah woke up one fine morning and started imagining that the Tangkhuls of Manipur are Nagas? That he started believing in his illusions that there are Nagas scattered in Manipur? The unique history of Nagas will be that their so-called history started with Mr. Muivah and, hopefully, will end with his end. Then and only will peace return to Manipur.
Somi, How can Nagas leave the Imphal valley when there are no Nagas in Manipur? The MBBS students from Nagaland might have left the valley but it might be because they had vacations in between their semesters. Or it might be because these students did not want to be left stranded in Manipur in the event of any blockade of the Highways by the blockade experts like the Tangkhuls.
On second thoughts, I think Somi is a wise Tangkhul. He says the Nagas will stay on in their Naga districts and continue to pray for the victory of the Naga Nation. Why, the Meiteis never thought it wrong for a Naga to stay in their own districts. Why should the Meiteis interfere in matters of the Nagas? Meiteis have no business to interfere in the internal affairs of Nagaland. Nagas can stay wherever they choose…Kohima, Mokokchung, Mon, Phek, Wokha, Peren..wherever in Nagaland.
I'm from Mizoram. But i would like to know wheather the Tangkhuls were happy during the time of Manipur Chief Minister Risang Keising (whatever the speling). It look from outside that The Meiteis were not very communal and not look down upon the Tribals as they could accept the Tribal as their Chief Minister for a long time. Peace. Do not fight. your fight is all because of politics.. your guys do not have good political leaders thats why.
Miss Somi,
One cannot say Nagas left Imphal valley when only a handful of tangkhuls left Imphal valley in the aftermath of June 2001. Not a single Kabui or Non-tangkhul ever left Imphal valley during that time. As things have come to normal, more tangkhuls have purchased acres of land at Imphal, more and more of them are settling at valley. It is ironic that these tangkhuls are the ones who are trying to disintegrate Manipur for their Greater Nagalim demand.
One glaring example is the most recent snub of NSCN-IM by nagas, particularly tangkhuls living at Imphal valley who did not respond to NSCN-IM call to leave valley and come to the hills.
Nagas have repeatedly failed to see that they are not the only inhabitants of the Hills of Manipur. They continue to voice naga rights as tribal rights, naga human rights as naga rights, everything is naga in their context to utter disregard of other non-naga tribes. Their demand for nagalim includes kuki areas and expects them to live peacefully in nagalim for christ in contrast to Zalengam demand by Kukis.
u know racist hates racist.im a meitei n our family's best fren is a naga.not all nagas r like muivah follower n all meiteis do not hate naga.muivah is a rotten apple .anyone who supports him is a rotten bastard.

Manipur is burning because of Nagas and Meiteis. But ironically, they are still blaming each other and find the way to accuse other of spilling bloodshed and enmity. The truth is both of them are the same lucifer trying to ignite engulf the whole of Manipur by greed and narrow-mindedness.
The Kukis are still the victims to their greed and bloody thirsty and no one knows what would be in store for us once the Kukis follow suit. I hope Nagas and Meiteis time will be wiped off soon and the time will come for the Kukis. Everything has a season. Don't f*****g blame each other and try to justify ur wrong deeds u F*****g Meiteis and Nagas. Have shame at least.
Thou Meitei things they are broad minded, but from my point of view they are narrow minded people. ( especially parents ) coz they dont bliv in love. They never agree to get marry their child to diff caste. den where is humanity……………. i luv meitei girl she too luv me but c cant tell her parents bout our relationshp n now she is going to get marry with one meitei boy whom c dont knw ????????????????????????
Only when Naga and Meitei stop playing dirty politics in Manipur, there will be peace and harmony. I wonder, how blood-thirsty Naga dare to mention, Christ for Nagaland..The most hypocrite people i've even seen is Naga and Meitei. Both are communal and greedy. Naga politics is the most dirty politics in the world and unless they stop encroaching other lands, more bloody war is awaiting….
Meitei are not broad minded,they play dirty politics they tried to divide the tribal they tried to snatch away churachandpur see how they claim kangvai as a parts of Bisnupur,Kangvai never belong to Bisnupur
let's keep on fighting.
and let the nepalis and chakma refugees secretly creep into our territory and snatch our land from us.
do u know why there are so many nepali and chakma refugees in the indian army posted in our region?
i understand the sentiments of this writer regarding the religion part.
we, meitei, ve trying to educate tribal people for so long by giving quotas and all the opportunities available, hoping, someday, they ll be educated. But, we come to know now that they cant be educated
Mr. Kangleicha, had there been no meitei ego, manipur would have been ruled since long before by tribals (the one u looked down )…anyway we don't belongs to the so-called manipur or kangleipak (only valley)…Don't look down the tribals, just because all the facilities n beneficiaries for the tribals were diverted off to valley area, and just becayuse of ur corrupted babus, ur what ur nw..even now in many field, tribal excel the so-called backward meiteis….u people (f***king meitei) afraid that tribal could dominate the meiteis in all d field, ur not granting our tribal rights properly….wake up and shed ur inferiority complex…u f***kng meitei…
Mr. Kangleicha shed ur ego first and let there be a healthy competition..Had ur corrupted govt. grant all the tribal's rightd in the hill reas and if all d beneficiaries and facilities meant for the hill areas were implemented properly, tribal would have excelled meiteis in all fields…Ur people fear of tribal for being dominating manipur and that's d reason why ur people afraid of granting tribal's rights properly…Though u and ur communal babus tried best to dominate the tribal, u can't because in many field tribal dominated the state…First, if u dare to compete us, shed ur communal tinge and ur corruption culture…Had ur people were competitive enough, imphal would have been like other metros cos all the funds and facilities meant for the tribal's lands were siphoned off to decorate imphal…sorry to say, ur pervasive corruption has prevalent so wide that you (the most backward general) will always be meitei macha (better known them as half-human & half animal). I can imagine what kangleipak would look like after we divided with Kukiland/nagaland/kangleipak. FYI: tribal don't afraid to compete u in many field…
stop dis communial debate….mayangs thnk we are all d same…..u go out of NE,n d rest of d india feels we r d dumbest pple on earth…fighting against each oda wen d world’s developing faster den ever b4…
There is a question, Who is a Hindu? The term Hindu didn't exist before invading Persians didn't use them. Hindu came from the word Sindhu, which was further used to as Indus by the Greeks. Indus became India by the British. Hindus were basically the Pagans which lived in the area beyond river Indus.Hindus never called then Hindus before invading armies called them so.The word Hindu never comes in any of the older religious texts. In Paganism, Gods are universal in manifestation or rather cosmic, hence in all other Pagan religion like the real religious beliefs of Naga, have a pantheon of Gods. Compare this to Abrahamic religion, where people pray to the God as a singularity as revealed by a prophet, reveled God as compared to Universal or cosmic manifestation of God. Then perhaps the Nagas original religion, which were also mentioned in the religious stories of Hindu, can also be considered Hindu Paganism. At-least if comparative studies are done then we might find many similarities, The same similarities are also found in other pagan religions of other tribes and Hindu paganism in general.
The so called semitic religion was actually a reference to the Pagan religion of the Pre-Muhomaddan Arabs rather then the revealed religion as is commonly thought to be. Nagas were never a united force until the Government of India united them under the state of Nagaland. I am not asking Nagas to renounce their new religion to go back to their own religion but all I am saying is that Nagas should come out of the influence of narrow minded rebel leaders thriving on the foreign and drug money. All the while people of Manipur and Nagaland suffer due to lack of development and the rebel leaders enjoy lavish lifestyles in other countries.
People start living in the present!! @ writter of this article (somi) : I think you are very immature. Firstly, you need to find out the facts before including them in your article.
I won't go into details since I think you need to put in efforts to understanding facts (including the roots) and not jump into conclusions without clarifying. Improve your thoughts in case you consider yourself to be a child of Christ. This goes out to all the people posting hate comments. Judge for yourself after knowing the facts and not judge blindly just because some people from your ethnic group posted it. The time has come to understand each other, forgive each other and share love with each other. if you can't even try this then you can't call yourself a 'Unique Christians'
to the best of my knowledge,meiteis have neither said the above slogans nor acted against any communities.meiteis always want to live with the nagas otherwise they would have given the demand of nscn(im)
one thing that one must know is that there are lots of meiteis who are christians.most of the meiteis follow meiteism and not hinduism.they don't worship hindu gods at all.meiteis have their own history right from 10,000 BC and they have their own script(one of the oldest in the world),and… everything.therefore they have all the criterias to get free from INDIA.meiteis don't demand a separate country for only meiteis,they are demanding a separate country which would include all the communities existing in the state.
one thing,more than half of the population of nagaland are demanding a separate state from nagaland itself which they name "frontier nagaland/eastern nagaland"….whatever.so,the reason behind the creation of nagalim is not because of the meiteis' behavior/treatment …..whatever to the nagas.there are no meiteis in nagaland but still there is a demand for creating a new state from nagaland itself by the nagas themseves.
DONT MAKE SUFFERRINGS OF THE PEOPLE LOOK DIRTY
WE ARE OF THE SAME RACE
TRY TO RESPECT OTHERS THAN YOU WILL GET THE SAME
