A living Gandhi from the North east :: Irom Sharmila
situationsasia.com | Mohammed Tanveer Iqbal | 19 July 2011
A couple of months back during my discussion with my London based friend who is an editor of a Tamil news portal, I asked him 'why don't you publish something on Irom Sharmila'. Without delay instantly he paused me 'who is she?' I told him she is a living Gandhi from North Eastern part of India and is fasting for more than a decade to repeal controversial Armed Force (Special Powers) act 1958.
It was no wonder because being a Tamilian that to a NRI he has less chance of knowing Irom. But it's most pathetic because a majority of fellow Indian excluding North East India is unaware of her, would not have probably heard of her.
Plus .... Exclusive interview of Irom Chanu Sharmila iron lady of Manipur .....
