The Battle of Narratives: The Role of Media in Shaping Manipur's Conflict.

Author(s) Surjakanta Koijam

Abstract This paper is divided into two parts; the first deals with the origin of the conflict, and the second investigates how the media plays a significant role in explaining the ethnic strife and sway public opinion at the national level. The time frame of this study is that one particular incident occurred on May 4th. This paper analyses the coverage of newspapers at every level, i.e. local (The Sangai Express), national (The Times of India ) and international (Aljazeera). It evaluates the narratives set by different people. Narratives refer to retelling an event or a happening that is not mutually exclusive. Depending on the individual's community, one party or an individual may have a different narrative of the same event in a conflict. In a conflict, one side's narrative is not necessarily identical to the narrative of the other side (Dajani et al., 2013). So, the title is self-explanatory in the sense that this article critically evaluates the different narratives that are linked up with the ethnic conflict and decode the media narratives.
Keywords ethnic, culture, ethnic cleansing, narco-terrorism, filter bubble, echo chamber.
