At least check what the conflict is about…
While I personally don’t like the BJP and they are at fault to some extent, this conflict has nothing to do with Hindu nationalists. This is about ethnic groups, people from different religions can belong to same ethnic group.
There had been rising tension between the two communities for the past few years, which sparked into a full grown conflict when the High Court of the state ordered the state government to make a decision regarding the reservation status of the majority community.
The state government didn’t end up making a decision in the given timeframe, but both communities were up in arms about it, the majority community in favour and the minority community against it, this resulted in small skirmishes followed by a full on conflict.
The state government is BJP, he arrested a journalist for sedition for calling him a puppet of Modi.
He’s a puppet of Modi.
If you want me to say it’s not about Hinduism per se, I acknowledge that, but it’s the BJP being the BJP, and it’s definitely nationalism.
It has everything to do with Hindu nationalists.
PM is a Hindu nationalist. CM of Manipur is a Hindu nationalists. He gave support to largely Hindu Meiteis against largely Christian Kukis in the Manipur. Basically they are garnering Hindu vote to ensure future electoral victory just like in Gujarat.

It’s wilful ignorance to claim Manipur conflict is just about ethnicity. Only Hindu extremist media outlets claim it’s not about religion to mislead everyone.
