Manipuri Community

Strengthening Solidarity of the Manipuri Community
By Mohen Naorem

Two Manipuri girls attacked at the Gateway of India! Once I heard the breaking news from some agency, my world shattered. I called up our correspondent in Mumbai to know details. Two Manipuri girls! Who cares to ponder? Was it Meitei, Kuki, Naga or Pangal? The unfateful incident would strengthen solidarity of the Manipuri community.

It was unfortunate evening for our two daughters, Laeschichon Shaiza and Nagakuimi Ralang. When time is for giving a fitting reply to the highway blockers and anti-Manipuri illiterate group, the united Manipuri group stand with the Naga community this time.

We are human and cares for the mankind. It hurts a lot when the same irresponsible Naga group kept the state at ransom for daily essential commodities. Why are they alienating themseleves from other communities? The world condoles for two girls today. Why they don't feels same cord for the lost of inhuman massacre of June 18?

Of course, media papers are flooded with condolence and message for uniting the whole North East people as one. This is the right time to go deeper into our feelings and sentiments of standing united.

If every human being, that deserves this brotherhood and solidarity, condemns Mumbai killing and condemns any racial discrimination wherever it comes from, is condemnation enough? Did condemnations stop or will stop the hardship faced by North East people?
