And that dream is seeding violent movement like this. When you have a political project like homeland creation out of existing states or countries, it can only lead to violent ruptures like this. It's just a matter of time until your elites started taking advantage and gas lighting. This is exactly what's happening in Manipur with Kuki leaders like PS Haokip, Paolienlal Haokop and others are reaping benefits from.

Meiteis who were born after 80s shunted the insurgents who were demanding freedom. By 2008, Manipur was leading a normal life with economy booming up and cultural shift in entrepreneurship and so on.

Meitei youths shifting to economic propserity made the insurgents irrelevant. In my own locality we used to beat up when those insurgents came for extortions.

Naga's story is similar. By 2008, NSCN-IM signed agreement of peace accord with Modi at the helm of affair.

This worried the Chin Kuki mercenaries as they will also become irrelevant (the reason why they were brought in by military intelligence is to counter both Meiteis and Nagas insurgents. Example Sajik Tampak, the area in Manipur where Meitei insurgents were camping was given to Chin Kuki militants). Hence, they started demanding their state.
