Irom Sharmila speaks up on romance
- Hunger-striker finds love, supporters demur
The Telegraph | Nishit Dholabhai | Imphal, Sept. 4
Irom Chanu Sharmila, the world’s longest hunger-striker and a living legend in Manipur, has told The Telegraph she has fallen in love but her supporters are against her marrying the man.
“The man I love is waiting for me impatiently. He came here to meet me but my supporters refused that idea,” Sharmila, who is force-fed by the government through a nose tube, said from her bed in Imphal’s J.N. Hospital.
Some of the resistance may have to do with social issues, too. “He is of Goan origin but a British citizen. That is why they are against the relationship,” Sharmila said. She added that she wished her relatives and supporters did not see her as a superhero. She said she was just a human being like any other.
