An ode to Manipuri activist Irom Sharmila
Morung Express | PTI | New Delhi, May 22:
Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore who shares her name with Irom Chanu Sharmila considers as "extremely moving" the saga of the Manipuri activist, who has not eaten a single meal over the past 12 odd years to protest the Armed Forces Special Powers Act.
"Her saga is extremely moving. She is the face of the process which is adopted by her. Her way of protest is important as it is non- violent...I am ashamed that I came to know about her five years ago. We need to inform the people about her struggle and the cause she is standing for," said Sharmila Tagore. The actresses considered the activist as a "hugely spiritual and exceptional person."
