Back in May, I met two young people—Dinesh and Lamjahat— in separate relief camps in Manipur, just 17 km apart. They’re among 57,000 still displaced. Divided by a conflict, they lead almost parallel lives, working to stitch together a better future.

More than two years after violence erupted, members of the feuding Meitei and Kuki-Zo groups in India’s Manipur state remain divided by more than their respective relief camps.

What happened in Assam has evidently served as a blueprint. First Bihar, now West Bengal; the Central govt pushes to further disenfranchise people across the country.
Confirmed: Voters in West Bengal are the next up for the controversial revision of the electoral roll, ECI has told state officials. The overhaul could start by the end of July. @ayushikar1998 & @nit_set report. Read by clicking the image below. 1/3.
