From little choice to myriad choice Fruits of opening up

The fruits of opening up. And so it is that the people of India have moved from the days when the choice was between an Ambassador or a Fiat (Premier Padmini) to multiple choices now. Brands which were then foreign have arrived here today opening up the choice of the people. So from between an […]

The journey from 1997 to 2016 Framework Agreement of 2015

From 1997 to 2016. Indeed the ceasefire pact between the Government of India and the NSCN (IM) has held out long.

Getting more and more intriguing Where did they come from ?

It is getting more intriguing. The Saudi Ambassador to India has categorically stated that the two foreign Nationals who were lynched inside Sajiwa jail on Saturday for murdering another local inmate were not from Saudi Arabia, thereby negating the hitherto held belief that they were from Saudi Arabia. As reported, the two were held along […]

An incident waiting to happen ? Sajiwa jail : Gaining notoriety

From fibbing to omitting names Stop spinning out yarns

From fibbing to now omitting names. The State Government seems to be playing with fire. On July 13, the counsel of the State Government had submitted before the Supreme Court that compensation to the next of kins of the victims, identified by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), has been paid. However at least family […]

Understanding the dignity of labour Time to stop creating the vacuum

It should be obvious to all. Despite the sharp vigil maintained by voluntary organisations and the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System (JCILPS) at Sekmai along National Highway-2, non-locals continue to arrive at the State to pursue a living. This can easily be gauged from the number of such non-locals who have been detected […]

Giving up fast but not stand against AFSPA Let the polls centre around AFSPA

This is not throwing in the towel. The message has already been delivered and  in a way the Government of India and the military stand defeated. Fasting for 16 long years is not a joke and if the Centre and the military establishment think they can heave a sigh of relief, they are mistaken. The […]

Lauding the stand of DESAM PIL against bandhs

The stand of the Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) needs to be lauded. Yet at the same time it is also worrying to note that a student organisation has deemed it fit to announce that they will soon be filing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against bandhs. There is however a caveat here for […]

Looking back at the last 15 or more years Continuing to cast their shadows

If 2015 revolved around the demand to introduce the Inner Line Permit System or a similar mechanism to check the influx of non-local people into the State and the three Bills passed on August 31 last year,  then there have been equally earth shaking incidents that marked the State in the last 15 or more […]

Time for more people to people contact. Need to take all aboard

From 1951 to 1972. This cannot be called a climb down but being practical, for remember it is more than clear that the State Government does not have the National Register of Citizens for 1951, as evidenced by the RTI application submitted by a social worker some time back.
