The northeastern Indian state of Manipur has been subject to violent clashes since May, led by disputes between two ethnic, tribal groups. The tensions have led to more than 100 deaths and instances of sexual violence.

Indian journalist, Makepeace Sitlhou, joins The World’s host Carols Hills to discuss what is happening in Manipur.
