Recalling my train journey from Guwahati to Dimapur during the season of Beijing Olympics 2008, I overheard co-passengers conversations saying that only the athletes of Manipur state remain in the Olympic game after elimination of all other Indian athletes. These lines still echoes in my mind to this day and now soon after the news of eight of our Manipuri Brothers earning a selection to play in under- 17 India World cup team, my minds have wandering thinking of the wonders our neighboring Manipur state have created from time to time. Ranging from the diverse field and subject of ethnic politics of Manipur along with its rich history, preservation of its art and culture, excellence in educations, music, Manipuri Diasporas and most exciting subject of games and sports, particularly football, Manipur state have never face famine of breaking news to tell the world and this time the presence of eight youngsters in under-17 Fifa world cup have been the greatest news for me and I believe all of India feel the same.
