MANIPUR VIOLANCE WHY

-

. According to the sources I found, the reason for the violence in Manipur is mainly due to the ethnic conflict between the Meitei and the Kuki communities over the issue of Scheduled Tribe status for the Meitei community

. The Meitei community, which is the majority in the Imphal valley, has been demanding ST status for over a decade, claiming that they had enjoyed it before the merger of Manipur with India. However, the Kuki community, which is one of the minority tribes living in the hills surrounding the valley, has opposed this demand, fearing that it would give the Meitei more influence and access to their lands

The violence escalated after a Manipur High Court order on May 3, 2023, directing the state government to recommend to the Union Tribal Affairs Ministry by May 29, an ST tag for the Meitei community

 This sparked protests and counter-protests by both sides, leading to clashes, killings, arson, looting and displacement of thousands of people. The violence has also been fuelled by fake news and rumours circulated on social media and messaging platforms.

 The situation has been worsened by the illegal migration of hundreds of Myanmar nationals into Manipur amid the political turmoil in their country.

 The state government has imposed curfew and shoot-at-sight orders in some areas to control the situation.

  There have been multiple cases of alleged rape and murder of women from the Kuki community by Meitei mobs in Manipur, amid ethnic violence that erupted in May 2023 One of the incidents was captured on video and went viral on social media, sparking outrage and condemnation from the prime minister and the chief justice of India. Another incident involved two young women who worked at a car wash facility and were allegedly abducted, gang-raped and killed by a mob on the same day The police have made some arrests but the situation remains tense and volatile in the state.

إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we...... When a believer dies 🌿seventy thousand angels participate in his funeral🍁 when he enters the grave📿 Munkir and Nakeer come to him and pose questions to him 🍁 they ask him #Who is your god? What is your religion? And who is your prophet? The believer replies: My Lord is Allah, my prophet is Muhammad, and my religion is Islam. At that moment the grave is expanded as far as the eye can see and the foods of Paradise will be brought there for him and the breeze of Paradise will welcome him.❤ It is this, which is mentioned in the Holy Quran: فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ * فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نعِيمٍ 📿 If he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah) then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss (shall be his). (56:88-89). ☝وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ👈 And burning in hell. (56:94) That is, in the hereafter, he would be consigned to Hell. .When the co...

Definition:  Monopolistic competition is a market structure which combines elements of monopoly and competitive markets. Essentially a monopolistic competitive market is one with freedom of entry and exit, but firms can differentiate their products. Therefore, they have an inelastic demand curve and so they can set prices. However, because there is freedom of entry, supernormal profits will encourage more firms to enter the market leading to normal profits in the long term.

Explain INVESTMENT ||| Indian economy.

INDIAN ECONOMY. That part of the final output which comprises of physical capital goods is called gross  investment. So, investment in a country is not measured as money put in a business or any  economic activity but it is basically that portion of the final output (GDP) which consists of  capital goods. Suppose there is only one factory (capital good) in a country, which is worth Rs. one lakhs  and is producing consumption goods worth Rs. 700 and capital goods worth Rs. 300 in a  particular year (say 2019-20) in an economy. This means that the GDP in 2019-20 will be  Rs. 1000 (which is the total production of both consumption and capital goods) and the  gross investment in the economy will be Rs. 300 or (Rs 300/Rs1000) 30%, as investment is  measured as the percentage of output which consists of capital goods. Now when the factory runs for a year then wear and tear happens in the factory which is  called depreciation...
