The Central Committee of the United National Liberation Front of Manipur was formed on 24 November 1964, nearly a year after the creation of Nagaland. By this account, it qualifies as one of the oldest insurgent groups in India and possibly in South-east Asia as well. The NSCN (I-M) and NSCN (K) and their clones appeared in only about 1976. The UNLF was the first rebel group to question the concept of the Indian nation state.

The morning after Amma’s death

“Amma!” Mother, that is how the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalithaa, (mind you, it is a double ‘a’) was fondly and reverently addressed by the devoted cadres of her party, the All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. She preferred being addressed so, that was the point. Dravida Munntera Kazhagam can be seen prefixed or suffixed to the name of many parties in Tamil Nadu; it means just that it is an organization (kazhagam) for the development/welfare (munnetra) of Dravidans, believe me! The morning after her passing away, I woke up with bleary eyes.
