Limits of identity: On facilitating peace in Manipur<\/span><\/h2>\n

Civil society should <\/span>strive (Attempt by employing effort) <\/b>to be <\/span>non-partisan (\u200bnot supporting the ideas of one particular political party or group of people strongly)<\/b> to aid peace in Manipur<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the most <\/span>disconcerting (Causing an emotional disturbance) <\/b>features of the ongoing <\/span>ethnic (relating to a particular race of people) strife (Lack of agreement or harmony) <\/b>in Manipur remains the inability of civil society representatives to rise above their \u201cethnic\u201d affiliations and work towards peace. This is <\/span>exemplified (Clarify by giving an example of) <\/b>by the acts of the Meira Paibi, an <\/span>amorphous(Having no definite form or distinct shape) <\/b>organisation of Meitei women, who have in the past <\/span>mobilised (Make ready for action or use) <\/b>against armed forces and police excesses, alcoholism, drug addiction and sexual violence in the State. During the conflict that has <\/span>raged (Behave violently, as if in state of a great anger) <\/b>on since early May, however, the Meira Paibi has been working towards disrupting the operations of the Assam Rifles in their attempt to maintain peace, especially in the <\/span>foothills (A relatively low hill on the lower slope of a mountain)<\/b>. These areas, called \u201cbuffer zones\u201d, were created to ensure that there is no further escalation of violence between arms-wielding people of the two ethnic communities, but there have been violent attacks with the armed forces unable to act on time because of disruptions, allegedly, by the Meira Paibi among others. Clearly, the situation has been <\/span>brought to a boil (To bring to a peak of activity or emotion)<\/b> by the looting of weapons by both Kuki-Zo and Meitei groups and their use in the strife. But the inability of the State government and its police and the Union government-deployed armed forces in maintaining peace has also been due to civil society groups supporting those engaging in violence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some Meira Paibi representatives had, in a press conference in New Delhi on Wednesday, claimed that they do not recognise the buffer zones, calling them \u201cunconstitutional\u201d. The presence of armed forces in peacekeeping is not an ideal solution in most circumstances. But with the ethnicisation of law enforcement, aided by a State government that seems to have lost its legitimacy of power across ethnic divides, leading to demands for a separate administration by Kuki-Zo representatives, the armed forces\u2019 presence and the need for buffer zones to maintain a <\/span>semblance (a situation in which something seems to exist although this may not, in fact, be the case) <\/b>of peace have become essential in Manipur. Civil society groups such as the Meira Paibi can rise above their narrow ethnic identities to press for justice for women affected in the conflict and thus build <\/span>solidarity (support by one person or group of people for another because they share feelings, opinions, aims, etc.) <\/b>networks that will aid the process of reconciliation and peace-building. Sadly, that does not seem to be the case today. Civil society organisations have <\/span>whipped up (to deliberately try and make people excited or feel strongly about something)<\/b> the <\/span>frenzy (a state of great activity and strong emotion that is often violent or frightening and not under control) <\/b>of ethnic hatred, partially due to the recurring <\/span>trauma (An emotional wound or shock often having long-lasting effects) <\/b>from the violence, as much as <\/span>cynical (believing that people only do things to help themselves rather than for good or honest reasons) <\/b>political representatives have. And this has meant that the cycle of violence has endured. History suggests that a breakthrough can only be achieved through non-partisan leadership and civic dialogue among civil society and political representatives. As things stand, for that to happen there needs to be a credible alternative to the current leadership in the State.<\/span><\/p>\n
