Preface

Manipur-the Switzerland of the East shines in the northeastern most corner of India. She shares her international border with Myanmar on the east and south east. The state can be divided into two geographical regions-the hills and the valley. The hill ranges are known for its natural scenic and it is the home of different indigenous tribes. They belong either to Naga or Chin-Kuki-Mizo groups. There are 36 recognized tribes and sub tribes in Manipur. They are Aimol, Anal, Angami, Any Kuki Tribe, Chiru, Chothe, Gangte, Hmar, Kabui, Kacha Naga, Kharam, Kom, Kairao, Koireng, Lamkang, Mao, Maram, Maring, Any Mizo (lushai), Monsang, Moyon, Paite, Pourai Naga, Purum, Ralte, Sema, Simte, Suhte, Tangkhul, Tarao, Thadou, Vaiphei, Zou, Mate and Puimei. Each of these Schedule tribe communities has their own dialects, culture and tradition which are unique in their own way. Every ethnic community also wanted to protect, preserve and promote their distinct culture and tradition. The valley of Manipur is the home of different communities like Meitei, Meitei Pangal (Manipuri Muslim), Mayang (Bihari, Bengali, Assamese, Nepali, Marwari, etc.) and different communities from the hills. It means that different ethnic groups live together in Manipur. They are Manipuri even if they belong to different ethnic group or community.

Different communities live together peacefully in Manipur since time immemorial. However, there is a trust deficit among different community living inside the state, recently. There is a division between and among the Manipuri on ethnic lines. There is a clear division between the hill people and the people living in the valley of Manipur. At the same time, there is no cordial relationship between various ethnic groups inhabited in the hills of Manipur. For example, Naga leaders have lost their hope and faith to live peacefully with other community in Manipur. That is why leader of United Naga Council (UNC) have been demanding for 'Alternative Arrangement for the Naga living in Manipur Simultaneously, Kuki also lost their faith to live peacefully with the Naga.
