		The majority Meitei was, in early twentieth century, educationally and politically inferior in ‘foreign’ countries; the minority Bishnupriya was superior in these aspects at that time.

		At the same time, voters in the hills dismissed the claims of NSCN (I-M) by electing representatives from their respective constituencies, Meitei said maintaining that by extending the ceasefire to Manipur, the Centre had bowed down to the pressure of NSCN (I-M) chief Muivah.
