Mudi ji waiting for his US trip?

Violence seems to be slowly fizzling out though? Or is it too early to conclude anything? Not many pieces of news on counter insurgency strikes or large scale violence causing deaths over the last few days; at least not on national media (apart from opinion pieces and political mud slinging of course) ....

A remember reading articles detailing joint operations on suspected Kuki terrorists a few weeks ago.

Going in that direction only.

This may spread to other tribal states in NE.

What would be the talking points in those states? Can't say. Reservation issue was in Manipur.

This is purely an act of terrorism. They have started using VBED this is such a heinous thing to do.
At least one minor and two teenagers sustained grievous injuries as a high intensity IED fitted in a Mahindra Scorpio blew up next to a bridge connecting Kwakta and Phougakchao Ikhai along Tiddim Road in Bishnupur today at around 7.30 pm.

Ages ago I was in Manipur.In those days it was a constant conflict between Nagas and Kukis
and then there was PLA,UNLF and PREPAK that used to carry out regular attacks on Indian military and Assam Rifles but never did i witness a civil war-type situation that we see today.

It's a national embarrassment to see a state in the country has been pushed to a civil war for nearly two months and the government is unable to control it.

The term "civil war" is such a BIG WORD, and I assure you that Manipur will not experience such an event. It is highly unlikely that Meitei and Naga militants would declare war. In the worst-case scenario, there may be isolated clashes between Meitei and Kuki militants on a small scale. The Indian military may face challenges in managing sporadic violence, but it is highly improbable that it would escalate into widespread conflict. Sadly maintaining peace in Manipur is a precarious situation as it is "forced peace", no permanent and you can't please all three major communities without disappointing others.

there has been a pattern of violence ahead of important diplomatic meetings/visits, let's see if by this time next week whether suddenly temperatures cool down in Manipur on it's own.

May be going towards bifurcation of the State

Not sure that will work though.

Conflicts will be created over border demarcation and it will fester on for decades.

Someone needs to wield the stick and beat both sides into submission.

The Nagas have been quiet fence sitters so far.. what if they throw their hat in and demand their share of the bifurcation?

Exactly... Also bifurucate a state to give free for all poppy seeding and gun running for cookies? Is Indian state really going for optics for all- Use mob and violence and Indian Govt shall aquiciese?

I doubt Govt shall agree for bifurcation of state in this manner. There is a reason why creation of new Punjab state was last mistake done on ethnic lines. Thats why Gurkhaland is just getting lip service.

Govt is going to do this, what will happen is both Metei and Kuki will then turn their anger towards Indian govt.

The better option is to back the Meiteis to push the Cookies back into Burma, they can enjoy with the Tatmadaw there.

Remember this whole conflict started because of imported Cookie civilians and insurgents from Myannmar, aided and abeted by fellow Cookie tribesmen in Manipur and fellow Zomi tribesmen that are the whole state of Mizoram.

If you trifurcate the state, large portions of land area will go to Naga and Kuki, Meiteis will have Imphal valley only.
Western Manipur that has Nagas will want to join Nagaland, and the unga bungas there will demand GreAtEr NaGaLiM once again.
