The manager of a renowned Chinese restaurant and bar - Wow Restaurant
and Bar -- allegedly molested a girl from Manipur inside the eatery on
Sunday for watching television during duty hours.

According to source reaching to North East Support Centre, New Delhi, Mary (name changed) from Manipur was working at Restrobar at L Block
Connaught Place, New Delhi for the past three months was alone on first
floor watching TV when the manager of the Restrobar abused her sexually,
pushed her from a chair and attacked with a fork on August 29. When she
raised an alarm other staff of the Restrobar came in her rescue. She
suffered injuries on her neck with the fork and medical examination was
conducted on her at the Ram Lohia Memorial Hospital, New Delhi and a
case of molestation registered against the manager.

This is too much ! When you go a google search on "manipuri girls molested in delhi" you will find not just one case but many which is frightening...

chanura on Muivah's visit to manipur!

Sat, 29 May 2010 10:13:43 +0000

Muivah is insisting that he be allowed to visit his native village Somdal in Manipur to pay homage to his late parents. The Okram Ibobi Singh government of Manipur, fearing an outbreak of violence in the state, has refused him permission. The NSCN(I-M) is demanding a ‘greater Nagaland’, which includes areas that currently lie in Manipur.

Do you Think " the people of manipur should allowed him to visit his hometown ?

I beleive in empowering ourselves other than depending on a system. My idea is that if we can set up a private sector which would harness solar power and provide electricity to the masses that would mean a great deal of help to our unemployment crisis along with improving the economy and standard of living.

Mr.Blue on Irom Sharmila Chanu

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 10:58:14 +0000

Irom Sharmila Chanu has been out of news of late. This doesn't mean her resolve has changed or her will weakened. As most of us know, she has been on hunger strike since 2000 and has been kept alive by being force-fed through a pipe in her nose. This is, as pointed out by various observers, the longest political protest ever. Her demand is the removal of the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (1958), which gives unlimited power to the army in the state. Sharmila began her fast after soldiers of the Assam Rifles killed ten Manipuri men in Malom, a district in Manipur, which took place on 2 November, 2000.
For all those who are unfamiliar with the State of Manipur, it has been reeling under the control of the Indian army since 1980. While the government justifies the armies presence as necessary to maintain and restore normalcy in a state racked by Underground separatist movements, the people of the land are fed up and disillusioned with the unending human rights violations by the army.

The government has now partially withdrawn the law from certain areas of Manipur. But Sharmila is determined to continue with her fast until the law is withdrawn from the entire state.

As she says, “I will withdraw the fast as and when the government withdraws the Armed Forces Special Powers Act unconditionally.”

Today, Sharmila has become an iconic figure for the Manipuri people. She has recently been awarded the 2007 Gwangju Prize for Human Rights Selection Committee along with a co-recipient, Lenin Raghuvanshi, in recognition of their struggles to improve the human rights condition in India.

The Armed Forces Special Powers Act, which is operational in the Northeastern states of India and Jammu and Kashmir, has been in force in Manipur since 1980.

According to the AFSPA (1958) even a non-commissioned officer is granted the right to shoot to kill based on mere suspicion and this power is defended on the ground that it is necessary to do so in order to â€˜maintain public order. The imposition of this act is defended all in the name of â€˜aiding civil powerâ€™. Within the Northeast, the Act was first applied to Manipur and Assam but was later amended to cover all the seven states of the Northeast, which include Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Tripura. The Armed Forces Special Powers Act as pointed out by many contravenes both Indian and International law standards.

A committee formed by the Indian Government (Report of the Jeevan Reddy Committee) has suggested the removal of the Act, but its report has been grossly neglected.
