“if there was God, he has sinned and his sins, they make the dark rainbows of Manipur.”
“What has been done to Manipur
She will remember for eternity.”
If the book is polemical, I must say sorry but there is no substitute. The book Manipur Violence 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 recounts memories of Manipur in a multi ethnic setting. It is provocative because it is teething unbearably three years into the violence. It reimagines Sajiwa Jail as the Bastille of Manipur. A playful confusion with the grand Chinese civilization, It examines the effect of "Time" in governance and attempts to classify "Dynamics" itself in the context of Manipuri Polity.
Some passages attempts to map Manipuri Power breaking down the opaque complexities into legible political essays. The allegories in the book revisits trauma and codifies it into politics. The poetry is an emotional register of inter tribe relations and the new Manipuri Identity often caught in between silos of ethnic enclaves. The later section examines the root of "Hill Polity" of Southern Manipur. Correctly tracing relations beyond politics, basing on genealogy and proximity. It reveals the death spiral of the state. It's inevitable descent.
