Irom Sharmila, The Icon Who Refuses To Give Up
The Citizen | Monalisa Changkija | Kohima, March 11:
Sharmila scares me because when she continues her fast unto death till the AFSPA is scrapped without wavering even for a second, she makes me question my own integrity as a media person because the AFSPA is not just about a draconian law imposed and enforced upon a defenseless people but about the very core of humanity’s fundamental, human and legal rights, considered sacred for all human beings’ survival, in and with dignity, as also integral for civilizational progression.
Seriously, Sharmila not only scares me, she also makes me feel ashamed of myself because she is a truly empowered person hence able and willing to empower others too, and the rest of us are just pitiable caricatures of empowered persons.
