In Hindu mythology Ramayana, Hanuman waited for someone called Jambhuban to tell him he could jump far and wide, the entire stretch of sea from India to Lanka. The situation demanded to remind him of his capability. But in this modern world you need not wait for someone to come and tell you what you should or what you should not. It is a matter of shame a section of the communities living in Manipur are thinking of demanding separate homeland despite knowing the fact no such demand will be met. Repeatedly the leaders of the country had told that the Government of India will not allow creation of homeland within the existing states. All these states be it in NE region or anywhere else will remain intact. Nagas’ demand for Nagalim had been rejected. Nobody will consider Kukis’ demand for separate homeland. The time and energy being used in making false and unreasonable demand could have been diverted in other productive works. Should not someone come out and tell them the fight for land will take them nowhere? Or should we treat all these demands as blabbering of a child? But unnecessarily they will be launching road blockade on the national highway in pursuit of their unreasonable demand that will cause immense hardship to the people living in the state. It is time Manipur Government think of transforming, apex court ruling of clearing the national highway within 24 hours of starting bandh, into action whenever any organisation imposes bandh on the national highway. Until and unless some drastic action is shown to the agitators, who have used national highway as a weapon. When they are treated in the manner they deserve they will know the fight for land and expansion of territory is useless. Only then they will know the fight for land had gone with the history. They need to be reminded that the fight for land is always defeated. This is a scientific modern world and we are living in it. What is important is how much you can contribute in making a better society? Competition between man and man is in making the world a better place for all to survive. Here in Manipur hate and hatred campaign is launched by one community against another. This is a sad development, which needs to be controlled. Peace it seems has disappeared from our soil. Forget homeland Manipur belongs to all us. All that the state is having belongs to all of us. This is nobody’s property. If the Kukis can point out certain areas on which the Government can focus it will be quite enlightening that will serve the people belonging to the community better. But this demand for homeland will be spewing venoms and it will create misunderstanding among the communities living in the state. Sensible leaders should advise the youngsters not to indulge in day dreaming for homeland. It seems youngsters are living in false dream. A dream that shatters when one opens the eye. At the end they will lose precious time. Instead for fighting for separate homeland let us all work for making Manipur strong and united so that we all will be able to live peacefully.
