May Be It's Time For Irom Sharmila To Make Some Noise
Youth Ki Awaaz | Shravya Gotur | Nov 17, 2011
Why is the ‘Iron Lady of Manipur’ with all the right reasons not such a popular personality? The answer for sure must be lack of proper media attention or worse; that the media is uninterested if not dismissive about the North Eastern States. But again… Why?
The fact of the matter is that right now she only has sympathy on her side which is necessarily not ‘useful’ support. Perhaps the first thing she really needs to do is break her fast! This would not just get the national media cracking but would also amount to considerable international media attention with headlines rolling as ‘The world’s longest hunger-striker ends her fast’.
The next necessary step is to come out of Manipur and reach out to the TV cameras and engage in talks with the civil society and try to build up a team for herself. This done, she should sensitize Youngistan as the fact is, we do not feel the pinch as to what people from her region are going through. So it is important that she make us realise that ‘Ignorance is NOT bliss’ and a huge plus point is that the majority of the educated youth is supple-minded and believe in a pan-Indian outlook and we are not interested in dividing ourselves as North, South or North Eastern Indians.
