This book traces the emergence of Meetei nationalism through a scientific and systematic study of two movements among the Meeteis. The study makes an attempt to: grasp the feeling of discontent and dissatisfaction among the Meeteis; analyze why after 56 years of Manipur’s merger into Indian Union, some sections of people are still demanding to be separated from mainland India; examine the ongoing Meetei movement in the light of the past movements; emphasize that the seeds of “secessionalism†now in vogue in the state were sown in the pre-merger days; and contend that Meetei movement can not be and should not be reduced to a mono-causal explanation. Manipur is burning. In fact this “little paradise on earth†has been burning since the late seventies. Nobody bothers. This book explains, in no uncertain terms, not only what is happening in Manipur but, more importantly, why it is happening.
