In the second episode of Mission Manipur, Greeshma Kuthar reflects on the collective trauma India's north-eastern State of Manipur has suffered since the outbreak of ethnic violence on May 3, 2023, besides the recently imposed President's Rule and the circumstances that led to it.

Divided into three parts, this episode is an attempt to centre the experiences of the people in Manipur. In the first part, Kuthar goes in search of a school and its headmistress, who had ensured that everybody from the school was rescued when their village came under attack. In the second part, Kuthar takes us on a journey from Imphal to Churachandpur district to understand what it means to live through conflict. In the final segment, Kuthar speaks to the headmistress to understand her perspective.
