The horrendous ethnic violence
Between Meiteis and Kukis
In Manipur, a hilly northeast Indian State
Has ashamed us of its atrocities
Hundreds of people killed and wounded
Killing for no other reason, but tribe and faith
Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity
Looted, burnt, and vandalised their villages, churches, and temples
Innocent women used as pawns in this instrument of conflict and violence
Paraded naked and gang raped, the daughters of Manipur
A heinous crime that should never go unpunished severely
A memory that will never fade in the minds of the victims and public
