Clarion call to sons and daughters of Manipur on the danger of Kuki.
Immigrants from Bangladesh or Tripura who settled in Manipur since the first decade of 17th Century AD, called Meitei Pangal, were once not seen as a threat. However, as time passed and their population increased they are now poised to overflow the indigenous population in Manipur, particularly the valley-dwelling Meitei population. Have we not learnt a lesson from this?
Now the worse, if not the worst, is happening. KNO and some of its frontal organisations, like Kuki Inpi, KSO etc have been organising Kuki K*t celebrations every year now in Manipur and we can see many foreign tribes said to be Kuki-Manasseh coming to Manipur in significant numbers. It is believed that some of them remain in Manipur and many more will gradually sneak into Manipur in the years to come and occupy the land and all important positions in the state.
Meitei Pangal did not appear to be a threat in the early days and we were happy with them as they did not mind being named Meitei as a prefix to Pangal (as in Meitei Muslim). But now what can we do? Their ever increasing population in the valley will has naturally dispossessed us, the Meiteis, of our land and identity and existence in our land is at risk.
Moreover, they (Meitei Pangals) are entitled to a great percentage of quotas in jobs, admissions in institutions, for example in MU under OBC category, whereas Meiteis are under general and not entitled to reservation.
Likewise, the gradual influx of Kukis from around the world, especially south and south-east Asian nations and even Middle East is a cause for great concern for the future of Meitei in Manipur, our only native land.
Where would we go and live or how would we survive when we become minority in our land and are forced to make mass exodus from Manipur?
Please be aware that Meitei dominance in Manipur Legislative Assembly is not permanent. It will change to our disadvantage when there are delimitations in the future according to changed population distribution. This will forever change the demography of the state and put us at risk of extinction in our own land. The end of Meitei hegemony in Manipur is fast approaching.
Let us stop only talking about the pride or past glory of Meitei kingdom or Kangleipak, bt do something for our future in our own land Manipur.
Even ILPS will not be able to save us. Even if ILPS is implemented, there’s no chance of survival if we do not do something about Kuki as anybody can be Kuki and we will have no control over them as they are recognised a s a scheduled tribe of Manipur (read Any Kuki Tribes).
Every Meitei needs to ponder over this issue and we need to do something before it is too late. Of course, we are already late.
Long Live Manipur. Long Live Meitei!
