The Wire travelled to Manipur to understand what has changed on the ground—if anything at all.
Two years have passed since violence erupted in Manipur, and despite having two governments of the same party in power – one at the centre and one in the state – peace remains elusive. Over this time, thousands have been displaced, hundreds have died, and countless families continue to suffer loss and uncertainty. Homes and villages lie in ruins, and the pain of losing loved ones still haunts many.
The Wire travelled to Manipur to understand what has changed on the ground – if anything at all. In this report, journalist Yaqut Ali brings you voices from both sides of the conflict and a firsthand look at a region still grappling with fire, silence, and an uncertain future.
