evidence: It’s been nearly a year since Manipur State in northeastern India was rocked by violence. The clashes, mostly between the Christian-majority Kuki tribe and the mostly Hindu Meitei people group, left hundreds dead and thousands displaced. Christians were particularly targeted—believers were killed or forced to flee, and churches and homes were burned. Even Meitei Christians, who are mostly converts from Hinduism, were targeted by extremist Hindus in the attack. [...] "So far, more than 200 Christians have been killed from both the Kuki tribe and Meitei community," Sharma says. "More than 1,000 villages were burned down, and more than 700 churches belonging to Meitei and Kuki Christians were destroyed and burned down. Around 10,000 houses were looted and burned, and more than 70,000 families from both communities were displaced and live in relief camps, or with relatives in neighboring states." [...] Minthang* a Kuki pastor, was displaced from his village and saw his church and house burning. "I had never imagined that I would witness such a cruel situation in my state," he says. "We were happily living and having fellowship with each other and with the Meitei brothers and sisters. But now the situation has turned; both communities are facing each other and clashing with each other.
