Abstract
As this dispatch is reported, the nation trembles with shock, disgust and fear. On 19 July, a video was circulated widely at night, sharing a vile situation online where two women belonging to a Kuki-Zomi community (hill tribes belonging to the northeastern part of the Indian state of Manipur) were paraded naked and allegedly gang-raped. Manipur has been engrossed in violent ethnic clashes since May 3 this year. There have been inter-community conflicts in the state between the minority ‘Kuki’ people, who live in the hills of Manipur and the majority tribal community ‘Meitei’ people who live in the more well-developed Imphal valley. The violence has already claimed the lives of almost 160 individuals.
