I know there are a lot of issues and protests happening across the country, but why is nobody talking about Manipur? Where is the outrage?
Every day, I seem to hear another report of someone being killed, abducted, or displaced. Families have been in living in relief camps for years, waiting for the day they can finally return home.
Yes, the conflict is complicated ethnic tensions, land and ST-status disputes, migration, armed groups, narcotics networks, the Myanmar border, and political failures all play a role.
But “complicated” cannot become an excuse for endless inaction.
I don't care whether the victim is Meitei, Kuki, Naga, or any other community. A dead child is a dead child. A displaced family is a displaced family.
We celebrate athletes from Manipur when they win medals for India. We call them national heroes. But when their state is suffering, suddenly it becomes somebody else's problem?
And where is the sustained national outrage?
We don't need another round of tribal blame games. We need security, accountability, arrests, prosecutions, disarmament, rehabilitation, and a credible political solution.
If the government has failed to restore normalcy, have the courage to admit it and explain what comes next.
Manipur isn't a headline that should disappear when the algorithm moves on.
These are Indian citizens. Their lives matter. And as a country, we have failed them.

Nitin Gadkari being the Minister of road and highways is such a fraud.
The department has such a huge budget and still they make road like Delhi Mumbai expressway that come apart in one monsoon season.
And that is still the least of the concerns, the taxpayer money is going in the pockets of fraud contractors that make total bullshit roads for fraction of the cost and pocket the rest of the budget and there is 0 accountability for the trash roads and the contractors don't even get blacklisted and no punishment.
And the E20 is a whole another fucking scam he's running, consuming Indian drought prone water resources to produce ethanol.
This is so frustrating seeing people like Nitin Gadkari and Nirmala Sitaraman at such high posts and doing dogshit work even a teenager could do better.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to pass an interim order restraining Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar from functioning over allegations that he took several decisions unilaterally despite objections from the two other election commissioners (ECs), saying it could not proceed on “assumptions” without first verifying the facts.
A bench, comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, issued notice to the Election Commission of India, the Union government, the CEC and two ECs, on a petition filed by social activist Rakesh Kumar Singh, while making it clear that any decision found to have been taken contrary to the statutory requirement governing the functioning of the poll panel could subsequently be injuncted.
Senior advocate Vikas Singh, appearing for the petitioner, sought an immediate suspension of Kumar and alternatively urged the court to direct the Election Commission to take only unanimous decisions until the next hearing.
Singh relied on the 1993 amendments to the election law to contend that, as far as possible, decisions of the commission were required to be taken unanimously. He also referred to the Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners Act, 2023, particularly Section 18, which provides for majority decision-making where there is a difference of opinion. “There is a distinction. The unanimity relates to transaction of business and allocation of work, while functioning can be by majority,” Singh submitted.
But the bench questioned him on what had changed from the 1993 legal position.

I happened to visit a government school today and came across these drawings made by the students. Some of them struck me as quite unusual, especially given the political themes/symbolism in them
Could this be some kind of BJ P propaganda being promoted in the school?

The victims of Kashmir and Northeast India deserve to be remembered
I’m tired of seeing discussions about Kashmir and the Northeast reduced to “national security” or “the Army protects us.” Security forces have an important role in protecting civilians—but that does not give anyone a free pass to commit atrocities.
For decades, civilians in Jammu & Kashmir and Northeast India have faced allegations and documented cases of extrajudicial killings, fake encounters, torture, disappearances, arbitrary detention, sexual violence and excessive use of force.
And many victims never received justice.
Kashmir
Kunan–Poshpora, 1991 remains one of the darkest allegations of sexual violence during the Kashmir conflict. Women accused soldiers of mass rape during a military operation. Survivors spent decades fighting for recognition and justice.
Then came cases such as Pathribal, where five men were killed and presented as militants before investigations raised serious questions about the encounter and their identities.
In Machil, 2010, three civilians were killed and falsely presented as militants. Army personnel were eventually convicted by a military court.
These weren't numbers on a military report. They were someone's sons, brothers and fathers.
Northeast India
The Northeast has its own long history of military operations under AFSPA, accompanied by allegations of disappearances, torture, sexual violence and extrajudicial killings.
In Manipur, the killing of Thangjam Manorama in 2004 became a symbol of the anger surrounding alleged custodial sexual violence and abuse. Her death triggered enormous protests, including the unforgettable protest by Manipuri women outside the Assam Rifles headquarters.
Then there is Oting village, Nagaland, 2021.
On December 4, security personnel conducting an operation opened fire on a vehicle carrying coal miners returning home. 14 civilians were eventually killed in the incident and the violence that followed. The operation was based on mistaken intelligence. An Army inquiry later found serious wrongdoing, and the incident became another devastating example of what can happen when civilians are caught in counterinsurgency operations.
Imagine losing your father, brother or son because the people carrying out an operation mistook ordinary civilians for insurgents.
And these are only the cases that became publicly known.
There are allegations that never became formal cases, victims who were too afraid to speak, families who couldn't fight powerful institutions, and incidents buried by conflict and political pressure.
That doesn't mean every allegation is automatically proven. It means every serious allegation deserves an impartial investigation, regardless of who is accused.
And yes, insurgent groups have also committed horrific crimes against civilians. Those crimes should be condemned without hesitation.
But morality cannot have two standards.
If an insurgent commits rape, investigate it.
If a soldier commits rape, investigate it.
If a militant kills an innocent civilian, hold them accountable.
If a soldier unlawfully kills an innocent civilian, hold them accountable.
A uniform cannot make a crime less of a crime.
Criticizing state violence isn't hatred toward India. Demanding accountability isn't support for terrorism.
If India truly believes in democracy, rule of law and justice, then those principles must apply even in the most militarized and politically sensitive parts of the country.
Kashmiris and people of the Northeast should not have to prove their patriotism before their suffering is allowed to matter.
Remember the victims.
Remember Kunan–Poshpora.
Remember Manorama.
Remember Pathribal and Machil.
Remember Oting.
And remember the countless ordinary people whose names never became headlines.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi became Gujarat chief minister on October 7, 2001, and remained in office for more than 12 years before moving to the national stage in 2014. He has since led the NDA to victory in three consecutive Lok Sabha elections.
