The Meitei people (), also called Manipuri people (), is one of the minority ethnic groups in Tripura. Meiteis call the land of Tripura as "Takhel" () or "Takhen" () in their language. In Agartala, the capital city of Tripura, Meitei speaking population is the fourth largest linguistic group of people, after Bengali, Tripuri (Kokborok) and Hindi, according to 2011 census. The Tripura Meiteis are recognized under the OBC category in Tripura. History. There were royal matrimonial alliances between the royal houses of Tripura and Manipur during the days of monarchies. Numerous Meitei women became queens of Tripura kingdom. Kings of Tripura married not only Meitei princesses but also many Meitei girls from the commoners' families. Numerous Meitei queens of Tripura contributed to the public welfare works of the kingdoms. These frequent marriage alliances not only brought good relationship between the two kingdoms but also the cultural assimilation of Meitei culture with that of Tripura. Besides the royalties, the tradition of marrying Meitei ladies were even practised by many nobles of Tripura. The Meitei subjects of these Meitei queens came from Manipur and settled in Tripura. These started the early settlements of the Meiteis in the land of Tripura. Language. "Meitei language ()", also known as the "Manipuri language ()", is one of the seven officially declared minority languages, besides Kokborok and Bengali, recognised by the Government of Tripura. Its promotion and development are done by the Directorate of Kokborok &amp; Other Minority Languages, established in August 2012. Meitei language was introduced in Tripura University since 2023. Displacement. A militant group named "National Liberation Front of Tripura" targeted and forcibly displaced numerous minority Meiteis, especially peasants, from their settlements to other places in Tripura. There were around 150 Meitei villages in Tripura during Indian independence (1947), but the number reduced to less than 100 in the 2010s.
The Meitei people (), also called Manipuri people (), is one of the minority ethnic groups in Assam. They are referred to as Mekhlee, Mekhelee, Meckley, Monipuri, Monipuriya, Magalu, Mogolu, Moglie, Moglai, among many other names dedicated to them by the other people of Assam. Meiteis call Assam as "Tekhao" or "Tekhau" or "Tekhaw" (). History. In the 16th century, the kings of Tekhao (Meitei language term for Assam) and Manipur had friendly relations. This friendship grew stronger after a route to Assam opened in 1536-37, leading to more social and cultural exchanges, as well as people moving between the regions. Meitei people started settling in Assam after a royal marriage in 1537. When Burmese King Bayinnaung of the Toungo dynasty captured Manipur kingdom during the reign of Meitei King Mungyamba (, 1562-1597), many people left Manipur. This movement continued until September 18, 1891. The emigrants from Manipur had to choose one of the routes through the hills, either Tongjei Maril () or Akhui routes. The lower plains of the Surma valley (also known as Barak valley) were good places for the Meitei people to settle because of their favorable geography, politics, and economy. In Assam’s history, a Meitei princess named Kuranganayani (), the queen of Assamese King Swargadeo Rajeshwor Singh, became a heroine when she killed a rebel named Raghav Moran with a sword in 1769. Historian S.K. Bhuyan says she is honored among Assam’s heroic women. Another royal marriage happened after the death of Swargadeo Rajeshwor Singh, when his brother Swargadeo Lakshmi Singh married a Meitei princess. These events led to more Meitei people settling in Tekhao (Assam). One reason for the Meitei settlement

In a cultural genocide (or culturicide), one group of people attempts to destroy the culture and identity of another group. A Polish-Jewish lawyer named Raphael Lemkin created the terms "genocide" and "cultural genocide" in 1944. He argued that destroying culture is a major part of genocide. Definition. The precise definition of "cultural genocide" is still debated. The drafters of the 1948 Genocide Convention initially considered using the term, but later dropped it from inclusion. Cultural genocide, by itself, does not meet the United Nations' definition of genocide. This definition requires proof that perpetrators "intended to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Cultural destruction does not suffice[.]" The Armenian Genocide Museum defines culturicide as "acts and measures undertaken to destroy nations' or ethnic groups' culture through spiritual, national, and cultural destruction". In this definition, culturicide is essentially the same as ethnocide.
An unexploded bomb (UXB) is a bomb or orther explosive that did not explode as planned. Most of these are ammunition, grenades, and bombs. There can be different reasons why they did not explode. Other names include unexploded ordnance (UXO, or UO) and explosive remnants of war (ERW, ERoW). Some of the reasons are: Many of these still pose a risk, often long after the conflict they were used in is over. When people find them, they do not recognise these devices. When they explode, the people who find themget killed, or they get injured badly. Aerial bombs which were dropped in large numbers often have a trigger that delays detonation. The idea was that the bomb detonates much later, when people think they are safe again. That way, the bomb wlil cause more damage. These triggers can also fail. A bomb that has been in the environment for a longer time is more likely to explode. Many armies have troops who are specialized in finding and neutralizing such bombs. When they are found, there are two options: In both cases,there will be a security perimeter. This means, that there will be no uninvolved people within a given disrance of the unexploded bomb. In very few cases, the bomb will be transported to another location, before it is detonated, or disarmed.  Landmines are sometimes also counted as unexploded bomb, even though the idea there is that the mine olny explodes when a human or animal comes near it, or steps on it.

The Muduga mountain leaping frog ("Buergeria muduga") is a frog. It lives in India in the Elivalmalai mountains. People have seen this frog in grassy places and wet places. Scientists think it might live on big farms too but they have not seen it there yet, as of 2023. So far, people have only seen it in one forest, between 800 and 1900 meters above sea level. Scientists think this frog's tadpoles do not live in the water and instead move across wet rocks and moss using their tails and their back legs. Their back legs grow on them sooner than other tadpoles' back legs. Scientists do not know if this frog is in danger of dying out. They think visitors to the area could hurt this frog. Scientists also think climate change could hurt this frog. Because it lives high in mountains, the frog cannot move north when the weather gets hotter the way other animals could. Scientists think the fungus "Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis" can also make this frog sick. "Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis" causes the fungal disease chytridiomycosis. They think this because they have seen "B. dendrobatidis" on other species of frogs in the same family.
