In ordering that red beacon lights should be removed from the vehicles of dignitaries and Government officials with effect from May 1, the Narendra Modi Government is addressing the VIP culture on the roads of India. Save for those on emergency service such as fire service, police, army and ambulances, the Union Cabinet is effectively stating that no one has the right of way and this is a message which should go down well with all the people of the country. So come May 1 and the country will see the President of India, the Prime Minister, the Union Ministers, Chief Ministers, State Cabinet Ministers, bureaucrats and Judges of Supreme Court and High Court moving without the red beacons atop their vehicles and to many this news will come like a fresh breath of air. VIP culture has already made travelling on the roads of India all that more difficult, more so when one is living in the cities, particularly at New Delhi and the State capitals. In Manipur too, it has been the same story. In fact so endemic is the VIP culture, that people not only have to bear with the VIPs themselves, but in certain cases even with their near ones. Such a practise may have gone down in recent times, but remember there was a time when anyone closely related to any of these so called VIPs came under the impression that they too can throw their weight around on the busy roads of Imphal. It is also important for the Centre to think of ways on how to empower the local cops, the men who will be on the street managing traffic, to pull up those who will be no longer entitled to the beacon lights, come May 1.

Curses come home to roost

Sometime in 2010, three former cadres of the Manipur’s People’s Liberation Army were “recruited” by 3 Corps of the Indian Army based at Rangapahar near Dimapur (Nagaland), under its intelligence and surveillance unit that reports to its General Officer Commanding. The three had apparently been used by this “cloak and dagger” unit for activities that involved extortion, drug- and gun-running, all in the name of counter-insurgency operations under the cover of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act. Then, one day the same year, the Army picked these three up from a place at 7th Mile in Dimapur and took them to Rangapahar where they were allegedly subjected to third-degree methods and, after they were killed, the bodies were dumped in a nearby jungle in Assam’s Karbi Along district. Phijam Manikumar, the brother of one of the victims, Hijam Naobi, reported the matter to the Nagaland police in Dimapur. A few days later, the Assam police informed their Nagaland counterparts that three bulletriddled bodies had been recovered from a forest in Karbi Anglong. The Nagaland police, in turn, informed the authorities at 3 Corps headquarters, who retaliated that they were immune under the AF(SP)A. The matter soon reached Army Headquarters when one Major T Ravi Kiran, turned whistleblower and wrote to his superiors at both Eastern Command and Rangapahar stating how, one night, the three Manipuris were shot dead by the Intelligence unit behind their officers’ mess. In his letter, Major Kiran mentioned how Colonel Gopinath Shreekumar, Commanding Officer of the “rogue” unit, was behind the abduction and killing and was assisted by a Major Rubeena Kaur Kheer and a Manipuri officer by the name of Nector.

Social injustice: High hurdle for new king

Our new Chief Minister I guess, knows well that public has beensufficiently corrupt to have floated such a deficient society we have been going through. Yet, from the end of our energetic CM and his team, things are hopeful. Now, the nature of the response from “We, the People”is one critical source to get the desired accomplishment from the new government. Have we acknowledged our own weaknesses that caused multiple social illnesses so far? Have we ever thought over leaving our sick behavior behind?Or will the new government have an iron hand; not less than Chinese Maoor Korean Chun Doo?
In fact, there are very visible flaw and fragility in general behavior especially of the contemporaryMeetei society. The indicators are – barbaric mobocracy, faulty festival of election, socially accepted corruption, brute traffic habit, offensive garbage disposition, men’s ogling eyes on women, senseless food wastage, etc. Couple of picking up here.
1. Encouraging the social smugglers: After any incident of bomb and gun attacks by the extortionists at the landmark buildingwhichturns out to be house of the well to do families or bourgeoisie, the local-women raise their voices displaying neighbors’ concerns launching sit-in- protests around the buildings.
It gives an ill indication of social response towards corruption and exploitation for it encourages public looters and social smugglers. Rather at such moment we have to remind the receivers of bombs and bullets – what they are receiving now is what they have just earned.
We, the locals are well aware of how the owners of the towering houses have accumulated so much wealth but what we ignore is the crimes the rich committed. This is us who showing a good amount of undue respect to such critical population of thieves, looters and law breakers.
Here, some questions are compelled to be raised – how has the breed of kidnappers and extortionists been surfaced on the soil? Why have they adopted such condemned means of earning? The best answer is the corruption although it is not of the lone factor.
