Opinion
- Brute Force in Manipur
- For decades, the
State of Manipur has been witnessing two parallel movements. One is the
armed struggle being pursued by various underground groups with an avowed
goal of 'restoring the lost freedom' of Manipur. The other by public
organisations and human rights bodies, which are fighting against physical
and psychological abuse of the innocent by the government forces on the
pretext of curbing militant activities. The second movement is more or
less an upshot of the low intensity conflict between the opposition groups
and government soldiers.
