“The Truth Of Manipur Is Inherent In Mahousa Lairembi (Nature)”

By Waikhom Manimohan

Now, with the increase in population but lack of resources, there is unemployment and poverty everywhere, and failure in every department acting as an indicator of economic development. There is chaos everywhere and problems a galore. It is now up to the Central authorities to try and solve all these problems before it finally goes out of control. Also it is now not time for the State Government to remain as mere spectators anymore. People of this state are losing hope in themselves, be it the Meiteis, the various Tribes or the various Minority communities, and also losing hope in the central or state authorities or for that matter any kind of public authority. So, finally it’s time now for them to do away with their lackadaisical attitude and approach to the problems of the Manipuri people and take up some concrete measures to rekindle the lost hopes and also bring back faith in these people, in themselves and in the government as well.

At this point of time, there is also something very important to be always kept in mind i.e. the role of the people of this state in bringing about this change. For whatever measures the central or the state government may take up, it is finally in the hands of the people to carry forward and fulfill any plans or policies formulated by the government in regard to solving the current problems in this state and region. Most importantly we need to always remind ourselves that we elect and form the government. And if we want the government to do something for us, we have to elect the right candidates, at the right time, and when the government does something against the wishes of the people we have to take full responsibility for it because “we” are the root cause; we, the people have elected the candidates who finally form the government. If we want change, it is finally upon us to bring about that change. For after all, ‘we get what we reap’.

The Strength of the people is God’s own Strength

The voice of the people is God’s own voice

The voice of the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Manipur would be the voice of Manipur

The voice of the her Excellency Governor would be the Water of Manipur

The voice of the Hon’ble Prime Minister would be the Fire of Manipur

The voice of the Parliament would be the Air of the Manipur

The words of truth are touching of Manipur

The law of the truth is simple

Love is the voice under all silence; the hope which has no fear is a strength so strong; mere fierce is feebleness the truth more fierce than sun more lasting than star.
