Meiteis as ‘OBC’ – cheated out

The way I write my columns is intended to educate youngsters, remembering my college days, and even more importantly, to entertain, with a mix of informative texts and imagination, achieving a balance between humour and fact. I am not usually scared by little things. Little does not cut me to the core or strikes a visceral fear. But, an order of the president of India that impugns Meiteis to the OBC caste, strikes me endless fear of irrationality. Because Meiteis are helpless.

On Naatrang’s theory of disintegration in Manipur #1

Naatrang took a break from his career in journalism for quite some time as he is burning his midnight oil and doing exclusive researches to finish his book themed on the ‘Theory of Disintegration in Manipur’. After a thorough retrospection on the series of incidents which are currently going on in Manipur, Naatrang finally gave his opinion that the picture of a united Manipur is but an oxymoron till further notice. When asked about why he opined so, he promptly replied that it is because of the flawless application of the ‘Theory of Disintegration’ by some pseudo-social/political scientists who, in the masquerade of leibaak ningba saaba lots, have attempted to leibaak ningkhainaba measures.
