Sipping tea at Empire Café House at Patel Chest near the Delhi University campus, a DU student from the Meitei community pauses abruptly in the middle of a conversation on the Manipur unrest.
The reason for the pause? Suspicion about a passerby. “The girl in the pink top, who just passed by, is my junior,” said the second-year student of DU’s Shri Ram College of Commerce.
