Manipur's Royal Legacy Imasi Binodini Devi
IBN Live - North East Blog | Priyanjana Dutta | June 4:
"I am glad I could do so much for Manipur, I can die in peace now..." - And those were Maharajkumari Binodini Devi's prophetic last lines as she ended her interview for a documentary which we were filming. That was in the year 2009. Two years later one of Manipur's iconic woman litterateur, poet, painter, sculptor and a social activist breathed her last. But not before she left behind an outstanding legacy that boasted a body of impressive literary works including numerous short stories, essays, plays and award winning screenplays.
We had come to film a documentary on the legendary octogenarian MK Binodini Devi, the last of the Manipur royal princesses and a woman who had carved for herself not just a name in the literary and artistic world but was also known for her candid and forthright views on the social and political fabric of the state she lived in and loved.
