Let’s pray for Manipur, India, where clashes between the Meiteis community (mostly Hindus) and the tribal people (mostly Christians) caused the death of 12 inhabitants. The violence started after the state’s top court asked the Central Government to recommend to the Federal administration to allow the demand of the Meitei community to list them among Scheduled Tribes. This means having a special status to enjoy rights to farm on forest land, low-cost bank loans and government jobs.
