Forest adm. was fairly advanced in Manipur as d' hills were brought under Manipur darbar. Hills as a state escaping Zomia was no more relevant. D' Hills were absorbed into the state system. Nomads or head hunters around the world have a history of such amalgamation with states.

Integrity of Manipur be upheld. Art. 1 terms India a 'Union of states'. Thus, Art. 3 can alter state boundary as d' states didn't sign treaties&became part of India thru d' Consti. Assembly. Bt Manipur signed treaties, making it a distinct case, saves it from d purview of Art. 3

Generic ethnicities have a tendency to undermine diversities. 'Minority' claims in the format of a politics speaks d' language of majoritarianism and class. It violently disallows micro cultures&intersectionalities, to sustain an ethno lebensruam. Manipur conundrum is an apt case

Peace first or Solution can't be a chicken & egg debate.Surrendering of arms is a hope. D'writ of law in Imphal is felt.COTU's denial of right to move &terming those going against its call as'traitors' is demonising d'public sphere. Weaponising ethnicity could prove very fatal.

CDBA's communalisation of d' Supreme Court team visiting Manipur is an alarming disrespect to d' 'conscience keeper' of d' Constitution. Ethnicisation of the S.C team is insidious&contemptuous of judiciary's neutrality. Save Art. 14, 19, 32 from the captivity of dis ethno elites.

Wanton breach of Fundamental Rights in Manipur that too by disbanding a community from accessing the highways for 2 years. These ethnic elites' mainstay is d' weaponisation&control of highway illicit revenues. Their impunity is surprisingly still undeterred by the law of the land
