Please don't stop talking about Manipur. It feels as if the left parties have also forgotten about Manipur and are tone deaf to the horror show that is unfolding in the state since may 2023.Manipur is a beautiful state,one of the seven sister states of NE and it deserves justice

It is becoming more and more clear that level headed and rational decisions are only possible if you are free more any partition related trauma. It is time for the nation to accept that only South Indians are capable of leading the way and showing light to the rest
