Inside Manipur’s Relief Camps: Manipur Ground Reality

I traveled to Imphal to go inside the Meitei relief camps places that were meant to be short-term shelters but have now become permanent realities for thousands of displaced families. Mainstream media has moved on, but for the people I met, the crisis is far from over. In this video, I walk through the rows of makeshift huts to document the unfiltered truth of the Meitei community’s struggle. I spoke with mothers who are raising children in 10x10 tents, elders who watched their ancestral homes burn, and young students trying to build a future while living in exile within their own state. This isn't just about the politics; it's about the human cost. You will see the incredible resilience of these families—from women reviving traditional weaving to sustain the camp, to the community spirit that keeps them going when hope feels thin. The world needs to see what is happening in Manipur in 2026. This is the reality they aren't showing you on the news. Why I Made This Video The goal of this journey was to provide a platform for voices that have been silenced or ignored. We explore the deep-seated desire to return home, the daily struggle for basic necessities, and the haunting uncertainty of what comes next for the Meitei people.
