The book is a synthesis of the political reality of Manipur. It is a sequel to 'The Crescent Highlands and the Dark Rainbows', laying the historical groundwork and understanding of power and polity in Manipur that shape the Manipur that we know today. Drawing elements from tribal and traditional, it presents novel ideas rooted in Manipur's soul. And aims to encourage discussion hoping to find a place in schools and universities, to be studied and given the proper definition that it lacks. It hopes to form the foundation of a more effective and better structure that respects local specificities. It does not support secessionist ideas and believes in an evolving government using them as foundations. The critique is thought provoking and doesn't disregard or discredit any organization. As it is, in a democracy governance is often judged based on leadership, effectiveness, perception, stability and transparency - an ‘Ideal’ government.
