Thadou Leader Advocates Peace, Identity Amidst Manipur Conflict

Thadou Leader Advocates Peace, Identity Amidst Manipur Conflict

Imagine different groups of people, like different teams playing a game.

In Manipur, there are groups called Meitei, Kuki, and Thadou.

Sometimes, these groups have disagreements.

A leader named Michael from the Thadou group wants everyone to get along.

He's been living in a city called Imphal, where the Meitei people are dominant, to show that it’s safe for him, even though there's been conflict.

He wants people to know that his group, the Thadou, is separate from the Kuki group.

Unfortunately, some people are trying to cause trouble and spread hate.

Michael wants to bring people together by celebrating festivals and showing that everyone can live together peacefully.

Sadly, there has also been violence, as a Thadou leader was murdered recently, showing that there are people who do not want peace.
