North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) activists organized a Commemoration Programme on the occasion of Irabot’s 125th Birthday. The programme was organized at SAC Club, Top Mayai Leikai, Imphal East, Manipur.
The programme was graced by Dr. Chinglen Maisnam, Department of Economics, Manipur University and Dr. Sapam Dilip Singh, Department of Law, Manipur University.
NEFIS also organized an online lecture yesterday on the topic ‘Relevance of Irabot in Our Times’ which was addressed by Dr. Maya John, Professor, Jesus and Mary College, University of Delhi.
During today’s programme, the activists remembered Irabot’s intensive work towards building a truly democratic, progressive people’s movement in the North-East region, and his revolutionary views on the question of creating a just society where different communities coexist with mutual respect for each other were emphasized.
The programme highlighted the necessity of Irabot’s ideas amid the present state of discord between different communities and increasing oppression of the people. Irabot stood for unity among different oppressed communities as a necessary step for people to liberate themselves.
The activists pledged to continue to struggle for Irabot’s revolutionary aims. They also pledged to fight for an equal and just society, as well as against oppression of the people and exploitation of workers and peasants.
At this crucial juncture, NEFIS also considers it a duty to highlight Irabot’s vision to build democratic people’s movements that go beyond the façade of representative democracy apparatus by exposing all forms of exploitation, oppression and subjugation faced by the toiling masses of the North-East.
