The reason why Manipur is divided and the gap between the hills and valley exists in the first place is BECAUSE of Hinduism.
Meitei “Hindus” blame Christianity for the division. But Christianity came way later. So how was Hinduism doing with almost a 2 century start? Let’s find out with a few examples.
When the hills were still animistic, which religion rendered them untouchable?
Which high caste (starts with B) also rendered yellow Meiteis as lower people as opposed to aryanized Meiteis?
Which religion taught even yellow Meiteis to treat non-Hindus as unclean?
Which religion has tried hundreds of times to erase indigenous rituals, Gods, and even language to replace them with foreign ones?
The Meitei psyche is 3 centuries of Hindu conditioning by Bengali Brahmins to hate our actual lineage.
You see that in the way how a lot Meiteis think East Asian looks are “homo.” You see that in the way how Meitei men think having a beard or being hairy is “manly”
This almost succeeded when these people tried to re write our history too. Every true blooded Meitei knows about all the attempts they’ve made to absorb our indigenous Gods into the Hindu pantheon.
Some Meiteis are even stupid enough to argue in their stead. In fact, a lot of them are.
Understand this. The only reason why Meiteis still worship Sanamahi is because there were some of us with an actual spine who stood up to such erosion.
Otherwise, if all the Brahmins and Hindunization was let loose, most of you would have been writing in Bengali, worshipping replaced traditional Gods with Sanskrit names and Hindu rituals that try to mimic what was once was.
We already only see Sanskrit names for Manipuris. Meitei names are rare now. Do you want want to read and write in Sanskrit too?
