Erendro Leichombam of the Manipur’s People’s Resurgence and Justice Alliance talks about challenging a corrupt system along with a woman who is ‘a worldwide symbol of incorruptibility’.
Q: So Manipur is like a burning house that the current political system can’t put out?
A: Exactly, Manipur is a burning house, and people think they can’t do anything to stop it. I was so angry. I restrained myself – but the youth in my locality couldn’t be restrained, and they were like, ‘Let’s burn this damn fire engine.’ Some of them ended up breaking the headlights.
It was truly scary. I’ve never seen them so angry. And they should be enraged – but the solution is not to be violent. It’s to take this election very seriously. That is our best weapon.
