Now, call it ‘Messpur’

Earlier I had used the term “functional anarchy” to describe the state, but that appears to have lost its relevance now.

A paradigm shift in India’s development approach : A boon or a bane

Dr S Benjamin Nattar With the achievement of independence in 1947, the Indian leaders’ biggest concern was all round development of the country.

Why the cyclone didn’t reach Manipur – An anecdote

Manipur is a state surrounded by nine ranges of hills. It’s a state of backlog ethnic groups. The valley of Manipur can be compared to backwater of a river where the water of the particular area doesn’t move with the flow. Besides, it’s very high above the sea level. So, if any natural catastrophic phenomenon […]

Traffic Circus : Manipur Style

Of late, much has been talked about and many (in fact all of us on the Imphal road) have been complaining on the TRAFFIC CONGESTION in and around Imphal.

More than a year has passed since the passage of the 3 contentious bills – returned later in June 2016 by the President for re-examination – yet there is no abatement in the equally forceful movements for and against the bills, and the bodies of the 9 ‘tribal martyrs’ who were killed while protesting in […]

Public protests and police in Manipur

Police and security forces are the most ubiquitous and visible agents of the State in our country. The same is true of Manipur where we see greenery (SFs) and khaki (Police) everywhere.

Globalization and homelands

Sometimes I ponder whether our movements for homelands and the protection of our ethnic-cultural identity will bear fruit in the backdrop of unstoppable wave of globalization.
