Chin State

Context

The situation in Myanmar's Chin State is directly impacting India's northeastern region, particularly Manipur and Mizoram. The conflict in Chin State has led to an influx of refugees into these states, straining resources and escalating ethnic tensions.

About

Chin State shares a 398-kilometer border with India's northeastern states, including Manipur and Mizoram.
It is located in western Myanmar.
Ethnically, the Chins are closely related to the Kukis of Manipur and the Mizos of Mizoram, forming part of the larger Zo ethnic group.
The region has been embroiled in conflict since the military coup in Myanmar, with various ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) resisting the junta's rule.
The Chin National Front (CNF) and its armed wing, the Chin National Army (CNA), have been at the forefront of this resistance.?

Fact Box: Manipur Conflict

Manipur has been experiencing significant ethnic conflict primarily between the Meitei community, which is predominantly Hindu and resides in the valley regions, and the Kuki-Zo tribes, mainly Christian, who inhabit the surrounding hills.
This tension has historical roots, with past conflicts between the Kuki and Naga communities also playing a role.
Key Factors Contributing to the Conflict:
- Ethnic Demographics and Historical Tensions: Manipur's population comprises three main ethnic groups:
  - Meiteis (53%): Primarily Hindu, living in the Imphal Valley.
  - Nagais (24%) and Kuki-Zo (16%): Both groups are predominantly Christian and reside in the hill districts surrounding the valley.
  - Historical conflicts, such as the Kuki-Naga clashes, have left deep-seated mistrust and territorial disputes among these communities. ?
- Recent Triggers: Increased ethnic violence erupted when the Meitei community sought "Scheduled Tribe" status, aiming to gain affirmative action benefits.
- Impact of the Myanmar Conflict: Manipur shares a nearly 400 km border with Myanmar. The political instability and military actions in Myanmar have led to an influx of refugees into Manipur, many of whom are from the Kuki and Chin communities.
