Manipur : Meitei Community
-
Demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for the majority Meitei community, has become a huge election issue in Manipur.
-
The Meiteis are dominant in two-third of 60 constituencies in Imphal Valley.
-
Demand for ST status is not because the Meitei community want jobs in Central sector.
-
But because they can’t buy land in hill areas.
-
Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms Act can be amended, but there cannot be any concern related to ST.
