Regroup and reinvent :: Northeast Echoes
The Telegraph | Patricia Mukhim , July 18 , 2011
The news that seven prominent underground organisations of Manipur have decided to join hands to regain the lost sovereignty of Manipur might sound like another rehashed version of the tomes of ideological literature that militant groups from that state have churned out over the years.
Yet it also shows that far from becoming redundant, the armed militia of Manipur are digging in their heels to pursue a course of action they believe is integral to their mental sanity and political integrity.
The outflow of condemnation of India is predictable at such meetings. Certainly the anti-India sentiment is what keeps these otherwise ideologically disparate groups together. These cavalier statements, coming as they do with repeated frequency and repackaging, no longer make news. They only expose the poverty of words and the paucity of vocabulary to define the movement which has been marked by extortion and killing and nothing more.
