I post news on these atrocities here as Modi government only pays attention to internationa pressure.

Why would a woman’s group hand her over to the men?

[-] xuxebiko@kbin.social 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That is a question for the Meira Paibis to answer. Meira Paibis are composed of Meitei women. Meitei are an ethnic group and mostly Hindu. Kukis are an ethnic tribe and almost all Christian.

Since the start of this ethnic & communal violence, Meira Paibis have been encouraging Meitei youth to rape & kill Kuki girls & women.

India, where rape isn’t just a crime, it is a cultural fuck up.

[-] xuxebiko@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

rape is a crime, so is gangrape. But rapists get bail and the political power currently in power, the BJP, will publicly honour them if the victims are non-Hindu. and their leader gets welcomed and honored by world leaders as leader of world's largest democracy.

I said it is a crime. But it is not just a crime it is also a cultural fuck up.

A fuck up of unseen proportions. Near biggest population on earth, all brought up on regressive, sex-negative, sex-repressive environments that tend to blame victims and just close their eyes to any policy level actions that might ameliorate the situation.

What a powerhouse the country was in ancient times; how far it has fallen. Really sad to think about.

Meira Paibis (women torchbearers), call themselves ‘Mothers of Manipur’ and 'Arambai Tengol’ are a gang of violent Meitei men.

Awful everything

The news coming out of Manipur (by drips as the internet is still shutdown) is shocking. 2 days back a popular Meitei singer released a new song calling for a Kuki genocide with lyrics like "once the army relaxes their grip, the Kukis will be eliminated" and "We will never have peace till every Kuki is killed". the state police & govt haven't taken any action against him.

Today is the 82nd day of violence and the central govt led by Prime Minister Modi has neither addressed the ethnic & communal genocide nor has he asked the state govt led by Biren Singh (both belong to the same Hindu supremacist political party, the BJP) to step down.
They want the violence to continue.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only

- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
