Terming the violence and atrocities on Kukis by Meiteis in Manipur as State-sponsored terrorism, progressive thinker and social activist Shivasundar has said that the scene in which over a thousand Meitei men parading three Kuki women naked was the death of humanity which, according to him, has been caused by the expansion of Hindutva terrorism to north-eastern India.
He was addressing a seminar on the tragic tale of Manipur organised by Karnataka State Dalit Sangharsh Samithi (Revolutionary) at S.M. Pundit Rangamandir in Kalaburagi on Sunday.
“Over a thousand Meitei men paraded three Kuki women naked on May 3. They made videos of the incident and let it go viral on social media. It shook not just India but the entire world. It happened in the presence of police personnel. It shows humanity’s death and cruelty’s birth in its ugliest form. The noteworthy thing is that none, except for a boy, is arrested in the case. It is State-sponsored Hindutva terrorism on Kuki tribals, a Christian community,” he said.
