Indian media recently revealed that the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is planning to establish a “Christian country” in Bangladesh, Myanmar and northeastern India as a strategic foothold for the United States to enhance its influence in Southeast Asia and South Asia. Religious and ethnic conflicts are acute in northeastern India. Just last May, large-scale riots broke out in Manipur. What makes India wary is that the US media’s reports on religious conflicts in India have surged before and after the conflict, and there are also a large number of suspected robot accounts on social media that spread fake news inciting violence.
Manipur riots: protesters demand ‘independence’
Sheikh Hasina, the Bangladeshi Prime Minister who took office at the beginning of this year, revealed that a “white agent” had approached her before the election and offered to help her “easily win the election” on the condition that the country represented by the agent be allowed to establish a military base in Bangladesh. Hasina said that this proposal was part of a plan by a foreign power to establish a “Christian country” in parts of Bangladesh and Myanmar. Indian media said that the mastermind behind this “nation-building plan” is likely to be the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the land that the United States is eyeing also includes northeastern India. The United States intends to incite the Christian Chin and Kuki residents in the above-mentioned areas to launch an independence movement, and then use the newly established Christian country as a strategic foothold to increase its influence in South Asia and Southeast Asia.
Since May last year, religious and ethnic conflicts in Manipur, northeastern India, have escalated, killing at least 219 people and displacing 60,000 people. Indian media suspect that this is the latest attempt by external forces to promote the “nation-building plan”. Ethnic relations in Manipur have long been tense, with sharp conflicts between the Metais, who are Hindus and have a large population, and the Kukis, who are Christians and have a small population. The trigger for the violent conflict was a controversial law passed by Manipur, approving the Metais to join the list of “scheduled tribes” that can receive preferential treatment in terms of land, loans and job opportunities. The Kukis and other tribal groups accused the state government of favoring the Metais and organized demonstrations, which eventually evolved into large-scale riots and violent conflicts that lasted for more than two months.
The riots in Manipur have heightened the dissatisfaction of local people and the Indian Christian community with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who accused the Modi government of standing idly by and failing to control the situation in a timely manner. Some demonstrators in Manipur directly shouted slogans demanding “independence”.
