Over the last 47 days, the state of Manipur in Northeast India has witnessed ethnic clashes primarily between two local communities, the Meiteis and Kukis. The violence has resulted in over 120 deaths and the burning down of at least 4,000 buildings, which include homes and religious sites belonging to both communities. More than 40,000 people are currently displaced in relief camps in the state. These numbers might go up, as the crisis continues. There have been clashes in the past, but not at the current scale.
