520			_aThe armed ethnic warfare that has been raging in Manipur since May of last year is unprecedented. It pits the state's subnational majority Meiteis against Kukis—a subnational minority in the state. The ethnicization of law enforcement and the looting of arms from police stations by mobs have created a situation in the state that now resembles a civil war. There is ample evidence pointing to the fact that the state government bears the lion's share of the responsibility for this violence. Proclaiming President's Rule—dismissing the state government and assuming its functions—could have helped restore faith in the impartiality and integrity of state institutions. That New Delhi has chosen not to exercise this option provides important clues to what is at stake from the perspective of the ruling party and the Hindu nationalist establishment's long-term political ideological agenda. This political configuration has implications for the future of the Naga peace process.
