He also reflected on historical conflicts, such as the Second World War, where enemies were clearly identified. However, he pointed out that the current crisis, sparked by sudden attacks from the Kuki Zo, presents a different challenge, characterizing it as the “second seven-year devastation” driven by external forces aiming to capture Manipur. Sharma emphasized the nomadic nature of the Kuki Zo and their lack of territorial claims, suggesting their motives are conquest-driven. Additionally, he stressed the importance of protecting the valley, stating that village volunteers must take action, and legal measures should be considered against those failing to safeguard it. He concluded by highlighting the necessity of Taragi Cheishu’s continued activities, emphasizing the importance of engaging with diverse communities to effectively address regional challenges.
