The headlines this evening from the Indian Express.

On the 3rd of May, violent clashes broke out in Manipur between the Meitei and the Kuki community, shortly after a ‘tribal solidarity march’ was organised in the state. These clashes have claimed over 70 lives, have displaced thousands of families, and have further deepened the faultline between these two ethnic communities.

In today’s episode, we speak to Indian Express’ Sukrita Baruah and Tora Agarwala about what transpired on the ground, the factors that triggered these clashes, and what the ruling BJP-government in the state should have kept in mind.
