Side note: Some media have incorrectly described #Manipur violence as a religious conflict. As @CrisisGroup report explains, "the violence has occurred over ethnic rather than religious divides." https://www.crisisgroup.org/asia/south-asia/india/ethnic-clashes-roiling-manipur-pose-test-indias-modi
This matches our own impression - one member of PolGeoNow was, coincidentally, personally present in Manipur, just outside the conflict area, when the violence was starting.
