Manipur continues to reel from the scars of over two years of violent conflict, which has claimed more than 260 lives and displaced thousands. Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit on September 13, local communities, including Kuki and Zo groups, oppose cultural celebrations, insisting that justice and lasting solutions are needed instead of music and dance. Victims and displaced committees say their mourning is far from over, and question the delayed attention from the government, seeing the visit as too little, too late.
