A sea of opium poppy flowers spreads across the hills of Manipur. Some people can be seen taking selfies. The narrator appears to be passing by the poppy fields, expressing concern and shock at the sight of endless blooms. This too is Manipur. @rashtrapatibhvn @AmitShah

Every year, devotees visit Marjing Hill and pay homage to God Marjing. During the Lai Haraoba festival, a maibi (priestess) performs a ritual in the form of a mime. She holds a mallet in her hand and enacts the game of polo. The Indigenous Meiteis have a deep connection with the Forest, the Hills, and the valleys where the rivers meet. This connection is rooted in our cultural, spiritual & traditional practices. This is the way of life, this is our identity #ThisIsManipur ๐Ÿ™

We express our grief over the loss of Salam Jotin (38 yo) and Laibujam Inao(26 yo). Our deepest condolences to the families and the entire community ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’” Salam Jotin was shot dead by Kuki Militants while tending his paddy fields in Bishnupur District. Laibujam Inao was killed while protecting the villagers from a heavy firing toward the Meitei villages of Naranseina & surrounding areas from Khoirentak hill range. #SaveMeiteiFarmers #IAmWithFarmers This tragedy, alongside the recent massacre of an entire family of 3 in Kwakta, brings to light the limitations of the armed forces in safeguarding the well-being of the Meiteis. We demand accountability and action on the armed groups to prevent further tragedies and protect our farmers. Read more : thesangaiexpress.com/Encyc/2โ€ฆ thehindu.com/news/national/tโ€ฆ

A perfect example on #WomenEqualityDay. The Motherโ€™s Market portrays the strength and willpower of Manipur Women. It is unique, different & inspiring. We should learn a thing or two from the shop owners of the market to stand together and fight against the ones who want to take our land and lives. #ManipuriWomenUnite #WomenEqualityDay

Mt. Koubru has a deep rooted historical, cultural and religious connection with the indigenous people of Manipur. Our temple has been destroyed but not our faith. "Help rebuild 200 year old Shiva Temple destroyed by Kuki militants". #SaveMeitei #SaveHindu #SaveManipur #SaveIndia

Rh Raising of NSCN (I-M) asserted that claiming citizenship of a country with forged documents from โ€œfraudstersโ€ is a crime against the state. โ€œPlanting foreign populations in an occupied territory of a native people for marginalizing the native people is equally an act of colonialismโ€, he adds. #savemeitei #kukiterrorists #kukimilitants #illegalimmigrants #ManipurUnderAttack #ManipurViolence #kukilies #ChinKukiTerrorist @iHardikB @sdeo76 @trunicle @ManipurTalks @UN @ramindesai @RajatSethi86 @VeteranLNSingh @VLDMIRADITYNATH @KRahulDevSharma @CNN @rashtrapatibhvn @BabaKPS86 @Sitharther

Here, Thapar's career is under threat. Hardly anyone, the prime minister, national media tries to bring peace in this Manipur civil war. Instead, all of them, including Thapar, fuel the flame of violence. #Manipur #Kuki #Meitei @AmitShah @DrLamtinthangHk @mtfdelhi @MeiteiAMA
You, ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰ #Karan, have been fueling the flame of the current violence in Manipur. Don't ever try to manipulate a #Meitei #pathou. Now, you face the reactions. @DrLamtinthangHk @th_robert @ManipurTalks
