曼尼普尔邦骚乱之谜：是什么引发了暴力和冲突

Manipur witnessed large-scale violence on Wednesday in multiple regions, where armed groups set fire to houses. Many homes were destroyed in several parts, including Imphal valley, inhabited mostly by the Meitei community.

周三，曼尼普尔多个地区发生大规模暴力事件，武装团体放火焚烧房屋。几个地区的多处房屋被毁，包括主要由梅泰族居住的英帕尔山谷。

On Thursday, Union home minister Amit Shah contacted the chief ministers of Manipur's neighbouring states, including Assam, Nagaland and Mizoram, urging them to provide assistance to Manipur to resolve the ongoing situation. Shah requested their help in identifying central forces deployed within their respective jurisdictions for immediate deployment in Manipur to help restore order.

周四，联邦内政部长阿米特·沙阿联系了曼尼普尔邦邻近邦的首席部长，包括阿萨姆邦、那加兰邦和米佐拉姆邦，敦促他们向曼尼普尔邦提供援助，以解决目前的局势。沙阿要求他们帮助确定部署在各自管辖范围内的中央部队，以便立即部署到曼尼普尔邦，帮助恢复秩序。

What Triggered Manipur Violence

是什么引发了曼尼普尔邦的暴力事件

Manipur is bounded by Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, and Myanmar. Most of Manipur is surrounded by hills, with a fertile, saucer-shaped valley in the middle

曼尼普尔邦与阿萨姆邦、那加兰邦、米佐拉姆邦和缅甸接壤。曼尼普尔大部分地区被群山环绕，中间是一片肥沃的碟形山谷

It has 10 hill districts inhabited by various tribes. About 40% of the state’s 28 lakh people (2011 census) live in the hills

它有10个山区，居住着不同的部落。2011年人口普查，该邦280万人口中约有40%居住在山区

Majority Meitei community lives in the densely populated valley: The state’s majority Meitei community, including the Meitei Pangal (Muslim), live in the smaller but densely populated valley, considered the power centre from a time when Meitei kings ruled the region

占多数的梅泰族生活在人口密集的山谷：该邦占多数的梅特族，包括梅泰族潘加尔(msl)，生活在较小但人口密集的山谷中，自梅泰族国王统治该地区以来，这里一直被视为权力中心

In March 2023, the flashpoint came with the HC order: There are 34 recognised Scheduled Tribes in the state, broadly under Naga and Kukichin or Kuki tribal groups, which also include Mizos Manipur had nine districts until 7 more were carved out in 2016. The tribal groups alleged that the new districts would encroach their ancestral land, but the government denied the charge

2023年3月，高等法院的命令导致冲突爆发：该邦有34个公认的表列部落（ST），主要属于纳迦和库奇金或库基部落群体，其中还包括米佐斯曼尼普尔，有9个地区，直到2016年又划分出7个地区。部落声称，新的地区会侵占他们祖先的土地，但政府否认了这一指控

The Scheduled Tribe Demand Committee of Manipur (STDCM) had been demanding inclusion of Meiteis in the ST list since 2013, a move opposed by tribal groups

自2013年以来，曼尼普尔邦预定部落需求委员会(STDCM)一直要求将梅泰人列入ST名单，这一举动遭到了部落群体的反对

The Meities say the ST status is not for reservation in jobs and education, but it is more about protecting the ancestral lands, culture and identity of the Meitei people threatened by illegal immigrants from Myanmar and non-native settlers

梅泰族人说，要求加入ST不是为了获得工作和教育方面的预留名额，而是为了保护祖传的土地、文化和梅泰族人的身份，梅泰族人受到来自缅甸的非法移民和非本地定居者的威胁

印度时报读者的评论：

Riots are done by Congress Encouraged Christian Convertees Falsely Claiming Tribal Status of Hindus for Illegal Reservations & Govt Benefits

骚乱是由国大党鼓励的基督徒引发的，为了非法预留名额和利益而夺走印度教徒的ST地位

Please don't peddle false news. It has nothing to do with religion.

请不要散布假消息。这与宗教无关。

The root problem is that there is zero non-public sector employment, so life is about getting a government job.

根本问题是，非公部门就业岗位为零，所以都是为了在政府部门找一份工作。。

Shylesha•Dombivili

Govt needs to dissolve reservation quota based on caste & tribe....sooner the better , now its manipur , " reservations" "quotas" "special status" is creating divisions and hatred among people of india .

政府应当取消基于种姓和部落的预留配额，越快越好，现在是曼尼普尔邦，“预留”、“配额”、“特殊地位”正在印度人民中制造分裂和仇恨。

Rajiv Sharma R

There is no clarity in this article, who is creating the riots.none of the papers report that.

这篇文章没有明确指出是谁在制造骚乱，没有一家报纸报道这一点。

Jigyasu•Delhi

When JatsMarathas Patels can demand andget reservations everybodyelse should.

贾特人、马拉地人、帕特尔等种姓可以要求并获得预留名额，那其他人都应该可以。

FEAR PANIC ABOUTMY FAMILYBACK ATHOME Amid extreme violence, centre para military deployed, meitei goons are walking free openly targeted tribals in the valley dominated areas and set fire to colonies, kiling tribals (Kukis), houses and religious institutions are area spared. Where are the government legislatures, CM & Home minister of the state to take situation stock?

在极端的暴力中，担心我的家人。部署了中央准军事部队，梅泰暴徒在山谷控制地区公开攻击其他部落，并纵火焚烧居住区，杀害其他部落的人(库基人)，房屋和宗教机构也不能幸免。政府立法机构、邦首席部长和内政部长在哪里评估形势?

Azad N

We are slowly getting to a phase where Power will decide matters and not law. Some are asking for reservations and others don't want them to have it. Who ever survives will triumph. Govt will makesure that they provide all the required support to those who are their vote banks. Where is the question of de ocracy here

我们正在慢慢进入权力决定一切而不是法律决定一切的阶段。一些人要求预留名额，而另一些人则不希望他们拥有。谁能活下来，谁就会胜利。政府将确保他们为他们的票仓提供所有必要的支持。民 主何在？

Manu

SC reservation is for Hindus not Muslims...get educated,Most of tribals converted to Christianity because of haressment of Hindus upper caste.... tribals are always oppressed by Hindus

SC预留是给印度教徒的，因为印度上层种姓的骚扰，大多数部落改信基督教。其他部落总是被印度教徒压迫

Satish Vantair

Christian tribals looting Hindu Meitie's with the active involvement of church.

基督教部落在教会的积极参与下抢劫印度教梅泰部落。

Mayank Singh

All benefits and quota are for dalits, minorities, muslims and tribals. God Forbid if a Tribal Hindu demands same benefits then Manipur burn.

享有福利和配额都是达利特人、少 数民族、和部落的。一个印度教部落要求享受同样的福利，然后曼尼普尔邦就发生这事。

Ashok Arora•New Delhi

As China is trying to be friendly to Russia and it now knows it cannot be openly offensive to India so it is in subvert way like Pakistan is trying to harm India. China hates Modi and loves Rahul Gandhi and they will try their best to push Congress in power. The anti India or Anti Modi people feel that it will be their success if India goes down, but remember when India goes down then all of us will go down be it Hindu , Muslim , Christian

由于中国努力与俄罗斯保持友好，知道现在不能公开攻击印度，所以采取了颠覆性的方式，就像巴基斯坦伤害印度一样。

中国讨厌莫迪，喜欢拉胡尔，他们会尽最大努力推动国大党掌权。反印度或反莫迪的人认为，如果印度衰落，那将是他们的成功，但请记住，当印度衰落时，我们所有人都会完蛋，无论是印度教徒、还是基督徒

There is no guarantee that BJP will remain in power after 2024 General elections......but India will remain intact till doomsday.....Jai Hind

不能保证人民党在2024年大选后继续执政，不能保证人民党在2024年大选后继续执政。但印度将保持完整，直到世界末日，印度必胜！

Ashok Arora•New Delhi

These Riots are all a situation funded and orchestrated by CHINA. The riots are done by outsiders from Myanmar Illegal people in Manipur. The Anti India Handlers have been activated and will remain activated till 24 Elections to defame BJP

这些骚乱或许是由中国资助和策划的。暴乱是由来自缅甸的外来者在曼尼普尔挑起的。反印度分子已经被激活，并将一直活跃到2024选举，为的就是诋毁人民党

Robie Shoby

Under the watch of Amit Shah,the Home Minister,innumerable riots have taken place in our country-Delhi/UP/Meghalaya/Karnataka to name just a few.

在内政部长阿米特·沙阿的监督下，我们国家发生了无数骚乱——德里、北方邦、梅加拉亚邦、卡纳塔克邦等等。

Request all concerned to maintain peace and harmony, violence with our people only spreads hatred and cause misery.   It is important that the concerns of all the parties have to be addressed in the best possible manner but that is possible only by way of dialogue and talks or thru the legal recourse

要求所有有关方面维护和平与和谐，对人民的暴力只会传播仇恨，造成痛苦。重要的是，必须以尽可能好的方式解决各方的关切，但这只能通过对话和谈判或通过法律途径来实现
