Manipur lies in the easternmost part of India, comprising of different cultures and religious communities. In some major issues like the impingement of Ikop Lake (the second largest lake in Manipur) some Manipuri Muslim youths are linked with Al-Qaeda, a terrorist organization. Media played a crucial role in spreading such conceptions about the Muslims creating a gap in the relationship between the Muslims and other communities particularly Meitei community (local community). Though Muslims in Manipur have been living in Manipur since seventeenth century, local news talk about Muslims in Manipur as slaves and illegal immigrants, who have originally, come from Bangladesh to serve the Maharaja of Manipur. This seminal study is an attempt to trace the advent of Muslims in Manipur, their sacrificing roles in the society, culture, economy and polity. It traces the role of media in shaping the misconceptions and misrepresentations about the Muslims in Manipur and creating a rift between the Muslims (Meitei-Pangals) and local community; and possible role of media for building an atmosphere for communal harmony.
