It demonstrated all of the following: racial violence, mistreatment of women, impunity for ravaging crowds, indifference to the issue and even cooperation on the part of the police and the administration, failure of the Indian State to act, and most importantly, the failure of humanity.

Without a doubt, it is the most severe condemnation yet of the state and federal governments for failing the citizens of the state and the nation. It has horrified the whole nation.Swift action would have been taken against the perpetrators of the horrible crime in any civilised society with the rule of law. A description of the occurrence and a video of it were included in a FIR that was filed in May. However, until last week when the video started going viral, no investigation or arrests were made.
The state’s chief minister, N Biren Singh, urged the death penalty for the offenders but also noted that there were several instances of this kind of crime in the state. He needs to be held responsible for this crime, the several others he listed, as well as the overall condition of affairs during the past three months. Law and order have completely collapsed, and the government has been ineffective in dealing with it and is even seen to be involved in it. The state and the nation face major political, social, and human rights challenges as a result of the terrible situation.

Perhaps taking a cue from the CJI’s remarks or the outcry from the public over the tragedy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ended his protracted and mysterious quiet on Manipur. He asserted that it has brought disgrace onto the entire nation and made a commitment to spare no one who is culpable.
Why did he wait till such a horrifying event before discussing the status of the state? The Prime Minister likened Manipur to the Congress-ruled states of Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan in an extremely impolite manner and with whataboutery that suggested terrible political aim. Unfortunately, he did not rise beyond his typical politics even in this circumstance.
