Across India, experiments to forge the 'Hindu national community' are predicated on the breakage of minoritised Muslims and Christians, and Adivasis and Dalits. What's happening in Manipur is part of a plan operationalised by the Hindu Right decades ago.

    This genocide bullshit going on in India has been happening for years and I assert one of the biggest reasons is climate change, particularly fighting over water sources.

    China, India, Pakistan and other countries have been squabbling over access to the glaciers that feed the Indus and Brahmaputra rivers for years. It’s partly why Modi and his posse of punk -ass bitches took over Manipur and other areas in the northeast. Where the glaciers are. Literally right by the Brahmaputra. Because they want the water to themselves.

    I think the water issue is digging up old wounds and exacerbating the petty ethnic issues which are being used as an excuse by India to take it over and to secure water.

        Here they are talking about it in 2021:

        Alarmed with unsustainable development processes in Manipur amidst India’s neoliberal development targeting peoples’ land, forest, water and resources. Mega dams, mining, oil exploration, roads, railways, transmission lines pursued as part of India’s Act East Policy worsened land loss and climate change.

        Express concern that large dams such as 66 MW Loktak Downstream Project, 190 MW Pabram Dam, 70 MW Nungleiband dam etc will destroy forest, agriculture land and threaten indigenous peoples livelihood, culture and identity while deepening climate crisis and impacts on indigenous peoples’ rights.

        Concerned with increased land grabbing in mega infrastructure projects, Trans Asian Railway and Asian Highway projects, Imphal Town Ring Road etc

        Hereby Resolved that

        1. The Government of India, corporations and international financial institutions should protect and promote indigenous peoples self-determined rights over their land and resources and should take their free, prior and informed consent before targeting their land and resources.

        They put out a resolution during Cop 26 demanding protection from climate-related exploitation from India… It’s real and does play a huge part in this no one is accounting for because all they care about are the racial tensions.
