    A great salute to you Sister. As I myself a Manipuri , I'm ashamed of the treatment given to you by the so called Manipuri CSOs. You rightly said that you're consider as a social animal by the many shameless Manipuris. That's the reason Manipuri society is going backward nowadays compared to other NE states. Last but not the least... Enjoy your life and best wishes to your future endeavors.

I even read an article in some journal where an manipuri author was expressing his concern abt the first ever elected non- indeginious person in Manipuri Assembly. He said it's a way to takeover their land by non locals. I don't know much, plz educated us, as u seems to be very knowledgeable abt Manipur.

    First of all congrats for your new journey. People who betrayed you has no right to be called "Human". You have sacrificed your whole life for the people and the sad part is them failing to appreciate your sacrifice. It saddens to see your past and m just sad for Manipur for having lost a godly soul. All said and done, I pray life brings you more and happiness and bliss. .

Her powerful words brimming with emotions are unparalleled in the contemporary socio-political times. Thankyou for bringing her journey in the form of a natural human being to the screen.

    Who the fuck responsible for violent situation in North East . Our leaders we can't blame Govt of India infact a manipuri is ruling Manipur & ASSAMESE is ruling Assam , so why state is not prospering . Guys for this deep sense of past world history require . Is our intention is separate country or development by being under shelter of India . Guys Truth is bitter Our people are leading us to fight for cause which will not impact our life . Our demand is Job , Better life and if a deep desire is there Govt of India is always ready to support us in any way . Able leadership is not there so North East is ruined & corruption and terrorism is finding it's place in North East . Did NEPAL , BHUTAN , BURMA became a developed country by being separate guys todays we are picking gun against government and after liberation what sure it is there that we don't have to pick up arms again against those people who will be dictator & suppressing our voice though it might be any state of North East . watch the movie BEAST OF NO NATION . African civil war Intention was not country but money & power . Only able leadership can raise North East or else it will burn over issue which common citizen life will not impact . We can't become America or Canada by being away from India . We want better life , better salary & safeguard of community & Constitution of INDIA has granted all these if state is not prospering it's our fault not INDIAN GOVT .

    Indian government should understand the agitation of this brave lady and people of Manipur. Leaving Assam and Tripura, Manipur is the only state in Northeast whose culture is not very different from Indian culture. They wear dhotis and Saris as their traditional dress. I am Arunachalee n I understand if we get trolled for looking like Chinese but spare Manipur from this harshness. 🙏
