Imphal, August 05, 2012:
Theatre group, Khenjonglang's latest production, 'Eigi Khongthang Lepkhiroi' debuted at the hall of JN Dance Academy on Sunday evening.
Speaking to Hueiyen Lanpao, after the performance, Dr S Thaninleima, who is the Director, Scriptwriter and Designer of the play, said "Contrary to to the existing law, the question of woman empowerment is just mere a concept and no one bothers about it in Manipur and 'Eigi Khongthang Lepkhiroi' is an attempt to depict the temperament of male towards the female in the state".
Contending that men in Manipur seem to look upon women as some kind of dolls that can be played at their whims, Dr Thaninleima urges the women community not to dither from fighting against such male brutality.
"In a male dominated society like Manipur, it's a common phenomenon to oppress women, and this is one of the main impediments towards advancement among women", she said.
