Why so called Manipur a killing field?

L. Kangleicha Meitei *



We the people of Manipur who has a distinct civilization once a peaceful co-existence amongst all its communities now living in a conflict zone.

Many people accept that human kind is started from one family or one small group. So, we might have common ancestor and we might have common platform of the origin of all human societies.

But people might have started migration to different regions for the betterment and convenience in their lives. At first they might have migrated mainly searching for food, shelter and good environment to live and settle.

And they might have established their own distinct civilizations in different parts of the world in different time interventions with increasing population and their needs and demands. And they might have formed different cultures, beliefs, customs, behaviors, natures, languages, scripts, societies, economic and political developments and distinct identities in their particular geographical locations.

In so called Manipur (Kangleipak) also people established their common social norms and political development with a distinct identity, culture, belief, ethics, custom, language, script etc. mainly by indigenous Meitei/Meetei and Hill people from the dawn of human civilizations whether migrated from different places by various people.

That is the main argument for establishment and origin of different social and political institutions in many parts of the world.
That is the main consciousness of the formation of separate boundaries and different nation-states for their common cause and good governance in their respective regions.
That is the main transitional period of the different societies of different people in different parts of the world.
That is why there are different countries with their distinct territories, identities, cultures, customs, beliefs, social norms and political establishments.
That is why there are various nationalities like British people, Italian people, American people, Chinese people, Russian people, Jews, Nazis, and Dutch etc.
That is why there are different conflicting ideologies with different identities in various regions.
That is why most of people are aggressive and want to dominate others and also interfere in others business and it creates war, hatred, discrimination, suspicion, human rights violation, colonization, opposition and group.
That is why with the development of human's knowledge and skill, people started making atom bombs and powerful nuclear weapons against human beings by the same human beings in the name of development of the regions or world's peace and order.
Thats the world's order and reality in today's society and political system.

No other living beings will destroy the worlds order but only the human beings who can think over will destroy the world. Manipur named by other foreign alien people who wanted to dominate and interfere in our business and then mixed up and converted into their alien foreign culture and religion which created identity crises, confusion among us and disintegration of social and political system in the so called Manipur or of the indigenous people in the region.

As a consequence of all these Manipur known by today's generation become killing field of people killed by our own people with other alien people in the name of law and order with their vested interest.

Who gives the license to kill our people?
Who has the right to kill our people?
Who authorizes all these direction to do so?
Who are the 'followers' of all these and why they accept it?
Why the 'followers' are not conscious about it even though they are highly educated and intelligence?
Whether they are getting any advantages or better lifestyle from their master.
Why the 'opposers' couldn't resist against all these crimes and hatred and why the 'opposers' couldn't convince them and unite them together?

That means we are still under the process of making of another civilization or another revolution or so called another nation building system.
That means we are not yet fully mature and not fully conscious about our social and political system.
That means we are under the guidance of some alien people or we are acting according to someone's directions.

That means we do not know who we are and we do not know our identity and we do not know the taste of independence or we do not know self-realization or we have forgotten our past or we only know corruption, hatred, selfishness, money, ego, high-handedness and killing people. That means we are new comer in the new world order or we are third class people or we are colonized by some alien people or we simply follow it.

That means we are not properly educated, ignorance, helpless or we are living like a servant living under the mercy of master?

But we human beings the one who can think over properly and the one who can recall the past and the one who knows his or her identity can not accept these entire aggressive alien's nature and their discrimination. Everyone loves his or her motherland or fatherland.

Everyone loves his or her religion, belief, culture, custom. Everyone wants to protect his or her identity. Everyone wants freedom and independence. The best form of human life is self realization, independence and freedom but not depend on other or not others' influence except in some reasonable cases.

Then what is/are the argument's or problems of other alien people who can not accept these principles or the one who always wants to dominate others. They just dream of unity, integrity, democracy, republic, sovereignty, secularism and use of other modern political terms for their own advantages but in reality they dominate and discriminate other weaker and small sections, in the view of different societies and different races.

That is not in the sense of my pessimistic view but that is happening in reality in the world with many examples. How come an independent nation who has its own history, geography and distinct civilization and race for many centuries mix with other alien nation/s?

Even though we are from the one family or one small group but today we exist in different social and political formation with distinct identities in different time intervention for their common cause and good governance. That is why most powerful country the United States of America, the largest country in area Russia and the largest populated country in the world China exist in different social and political formation with their distinct identities and cultures in a definite territory.

If I ask to anyone of them either the United States of America or Russia or both to come under my domination and I will control and protect you and I will make the best possible common laws of the land like the best democratic principle, sovereignty, socialism, integrity, equality, secularism with the world's best collection and borrowed constitution.

Who will agree with me? Who will come and join with me? Who will say what? They will definitely ask how you dare say that! And if I continue to do so then there will be a war and hatred. Definitely they will try to kill me. That is the main problem facing by many small and helpless people in the 21st century global village.

That is the main social and political issues facing by common people in so called Manipur. We have to understand the root causes of our problem and then we have to find out a common solution to the problem. Then there will be a peaceful and developed society otherwise Manipur will be always killing field, our lives will not be secured and guaranteed and Manipur will be underdeveloped and no one listen to one another.

If anybody wants to promote peace, security and development, then we should not interfere to others' business, we should not dominate and discriminate others, and everybody should think and behave in optimistic and reality.

Then only our lives will be secured and there will be a mutual understanding, peaceful co-existence and development and consequently which will also promote international peace, security and development.
