Ethnic violence in Manipur has killed more than 100 people so far.
Caste violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities in the northeastern state has claimed over 100 lives so far.

The Meites constitute about 53 percent of Manipur's population and live mostly in the Imphal Valley. The tribal Nagas and Kukis constitute 40 percent of the population and live in the hilly districts.
