In Episode 4, independent journalist Greeshma Kuthar critically examines the role of media — the fourth pillar of democracy — to report the realities of the Manipur ethnic violence, which began on the first week of May.
Greeshma spoke with Kaybie Chongloi, the only Kuki journalist from the Hill District of Kangpokpi, and with a woman survivor to understand if the mainstream media played an unintended role in vilifying a group of people through its coverage.
Even as the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, visited Manipur and requested a 15-day peace period with the leaders of the Hill tribes, there had been violence in parts of the state. Misinformation or no information about the ground realities of the internally-displaced people, the violence, the death and the destruction have left those affected in angst and despair.
Greeshma also takes a first-hand look at the situation in the Kangpokpi district with a Kuki woman leader who chose to remain anonymous.
