this conflict has nothing to do with Hindu nationalists

It has everything to do with Hindu nationalists.

PM is a Hindu nationalist. CM of Manipur is a Hindu nationalists. He gave support to largely Hindu Meiteis against largely Christian Kukis in the Manipur. Basically they are garnering Hindu vote to ensure future electoral victory just like in Gujarat.

It's wilful ignorance to claim Manipur conflict is just about ethnicity. Only Hindu extremist media outlets claim it's not about religion to mislead everyone.
