Fact Check: Unverified Claims on Manipur Conflict, Kuki Invasion, and Foreign Conspiracy

Manipur, that's a whole different issue. Massive issue, massive What's the polite term? Mess up. It's a

mess up. on India's part. That's how I see it. Let me explain why. What is the problem

with Manipur? See, Manipur, there is apparently this not apparently definitely these clashes between two

ethnic groups, the cookies and the Meiteis. And there's also So, in Manipur, you have three major ethnic

groups. Uh the Nagas, the cookies, and the Meiteis.

Now, the term Nagas is a number umbrella term created by the British to designate various

hill tribes who were eventually Christianized by the British and then by the Indian government or with the help

of the Indian government in the 20th century. The cookies are another is it's another ethnic umbrella term to

designate various uh ethnic groups, tribes. And very often, these tribes don't even understand each other's

language, but they are put under a single umbrella, cookies or Nagas, okay? Now,

to understand the Manipur issue and what's happening there, you have to first ask yourself this question. We

know Manipur has a an ancient history. We have a record of kings that goes back at least 2,000 years, probably 3 and 1/2

thousand years. We know How do most people see Manipur? Manipuri dance. One of our major classical dance forms,

right? So, we have the Manipuri language, we have the Manipuri list of kings, and we have the Manipuri

classical dance. Now, ask us We have to ask ourselves one simple question. Out of these three ethnic groups,

Meiteis, cookies, Nagas, which ethnic group has provided all the kings of Manipur in

the past two 2,000 plus years? The answer is the Meiteis. Which ethnic group is the speaker of

what we call the Manipuri language? It is the Meiteis. Which ethnic group has given us Manipuri classical dance and

Manipuri uh uh Natya, you know, uh

uh the various art forms of Manipur? Once again, it is the Meiteis. So, who are the real Manipuris? It is the

Meiteis. And also the Nagas because the Nagas also have close blood relations with the Meiteis, and they've also been

around as long as the Meiteis have been around. Now, who are the cookies? If you look at the British records of

1900 around that time, census records of Manipur, how many cookies were in Manipur? Less than 1%.

Before 1850, there were zero cookies in Manipur. So, the British brought the cookies in

from neighboring Burma. That's one thing. Why did they bring the cookies in?

To punish the Meitei kings for fighting the British, for for fighting the British occupation of the region. In

1891, there was a Anglo-Manipuri War that the Meiteis lost, the Manipuris lost. And as a punishment for fighting

that war, the British did two things. Firstly, they they confined the Meitei people to about 5% roughly of the

territory of the kingdom of Manipur. Only 5%. Everybody's confined in that region, the Imphal Valley region.

Secondly, they pushed in lakhs of cookie not lakhs initially thousands, but eventually the the trickle became a

flow. So, they they settled these cookies, these foreigners in Manipur, okay?

And after 1949, when Manipur becomes part of India, the Nehru government said, "Oh my god, the British did the

right thing. We have to follow what the British did because British are superior to us." So,

it continued. Cookies continued. And in the past decade or so or 15 years, I think lakhs of cookies have come into

the Manipur region because you can see the the visible change in the satellite imagery. All these new villages cropping

up like mushrooms out of nowhere. So, this is an invasion of India. It's an invasion of Manipuris from Burma. Who

are the cookies? Now, we have to ask ourselves who are the cookies. Are they Burmese? Well, ask

ourselves this question. Do the cookies speak the Burmese language? No. Do the cookies worship Burmese gods? No.

Do the cookies follow Burmese culture? No. The cookies aren't even Burmese. They came from somewhere further east of

Burma, Yunnan or somewhere in China. And they occupied the region that is currently the you know, the bordering

regions of Manipur. They are not even Burmese. Some of the cookies claim to be Jews, and they've settled in Israel,

Bnei Menashe. Some and the rest claim to be Christians. This is the issue. This is a foreign

invasion and occupation of at least half of the state of Manipur. That is the Manipur problem. Now, how

does this tie into geopolitics? Mhm? Sheikh Hasina, I about a year before she was ousted in

this military coup, which was sponsored by the Western powers, what did she say? She said that the United States

its objective is to create an artificial Christian nation out of parts of India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar, Cookie Land for

Christ. Project K. That is the Manipur issue. Why is Burma

important? First of all, you want to have power projection everywhere. Secondly, Burma has massive resources of

rare earth minerals. If you control these regions, you control the rare earths, and those can

no longer be supplied to China. You see, there's an economic reason for things, there's a geopolitical reason for

things. And uh Yeah, so that's the situation. That is the Manipur issue.
