Elections and Yaoshang thabal

Posted on 23 Mar 2024

Maybe, we should forego Yaoshang Thabal this time also in view of the suffering and mourning among the people. But, we must also ponder upon a question whether this election is going to bring peace and normalcy in the state.

Kukis in Zo imagination

Posted on 5 Jan 2024

It would be wrong to presume an interventionist role in the affairs of Manipur on the part of Lalduhoma who has a set of priorities regarding his own state. He would certainly empathise with the Kuki-Zo people in Manipur, but not much as expected.

Flag as a shield

Posted on 9 Sept 2023

Amid the unrest in Manipur, the use of national flag during protest is growing. Protesters blocking the highways and roads are frequently seen with the Indian Tri-Colour in their hands. But can the flag offer them any shield?

Of Waste and Cleaning Dirty Minds

Posted on 31 Mar 2023
