Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Today is the 90th consecutive day of ethnic and communal genocide in Manipur. The state has experienced 89 consecutive days & nights of violence & terror. The nature of the violence has changed, but the violence has not stopped. Every moment is lived with fear of the other side attacking. Manipur is a war zone where no one is safe.
Since civilians have fled their homes and taken shelter in relief camps, the genocide has become a David v/s Goliath civil war that is being fought with guns, high-powered automated rifles, bombs, mortars which have been smuggled from neighbouring Myanmar or "stolen" aka taken with tacit support of police, from police armouries. Meiteis are backed by Chief Minister Biren Singh's govt, admin, and police/ commandos, while Kukis are supported by civilian support from neigbouring states. The Asssam Rifles has acknowledged the unequal nature of the situation.
Manipur state is effectively split into 2 ethnic zones. each zone exclusive to either Meitei or Kuki ethnicity. The Meitei zone is Imphal valley, the heart and capital of Manipur, while the Kukis have taken shelter in the hills. Each zone is exclusive to the ethnicity & religion, where people of other
ethnicity & religion are neither welcome nor safe. This violent otherization a direct result of Chief Minister Biren Singh's polarizing politics.
India's elected Prime Minister refuses to address Parliament for fear of being questioned, refuses to addressed the nation on Manipur refuses to take steps to end the violence, refuses to appeal for peace. He's too busy giving speeches against the opposition in state election campaigns. So he and his Hindutva agenda can return to power to create & spread violence, while passing laws that imperil people & profit businesses.
The opposition si trying to force the unwilling Prime Minister to discuss Manipur in Parliament and one fallout is the a severe clampdown on news coming out of Manipur to hide/ minimize the increasingly grim genocide-turned-civil war ,that too in a sensitive border state.
Biren Singh continues to be Chief Minister, of Manipur (only he acts like he is Chief Mnister of Meiteis), Amit Shah continues to be India's Home Minister, and Narendra Modi continues to be India's Prime Minister. If not for the Assam Rifles & BSF, the situation would be much worse.
Meitei groups continue to openly call for violence against and genocide of Kukis. The Nagas (a ethnic tribe), Assam Rifles & BSF continue to be the only neutral parties and are the only ones preventing a more devastating escalation. The state govt continues to be a govt of, for, and by Meiteis.
The Manipur segregation issue is a sad thing to hear. I hope they find peace soon.
