Manipur, earlier a part of Assam province, had been a Union Territory
from 1956. It became a full-fledged state in 1972. The state is bounded
by Nagaland in the north, Mizoram in the south, Cachar district of Assam
in the west, while in the east it has an international boundary with Myanmar.
The State language Manipuri was recognised in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution
as a national language in 1992. In recent times, Manipur has been the scene
of bitter ethnic conflict. The ethnic animosity between the Kukis and Nagas
stems from xenophobic insecurity.
