Ongoing Ethnic Clashes And Assaults On Women In India's Northeast Provokes National Outrage And Government Response

Deadly clashes between ethnic groups in Manipur, India have been ongoing since May, resulting in over 130 deaths and tens of thousands displaced.
A viral video depicted the assault and public humiliation of two women, allegedly raped by a mob, igniting nationwide anger.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke his silence to condemn the assaults as "shameful" and promise prosecution, while the Supreme Court demanded government action.
Multiple arrests have been made in relation to the assaults on the women, but sporadic violence continues between the groups involved.
Opposition parties disrupted India's parliament demanding accountability, as both local and national authorities face pressure to restore order and prevent further conflict.
