Imphal, December 09 2013:
Recounting events that led to Nupi Lan, the women's uprising that changed the course of Manipur's history, United Revolutionary Front (URF) paying obeisance to the valiant manipuri womenfolk expressed confidence that they would continue to fight against injustices.
A URF statement issued the armed outfit's Information and Publicity secretary Sanajaoba Meitei observed that the uprisings by the Manipuri womenfolk against the anti-people policies of the then british rulers 1904 and 1939 were testimonies that Manipuri womenfolk will not tolerate indiscretion and policies inimical to the society.
Even though genesis of the women's revolt against the british imperialists was to protest artificial shortage of rice due to excessive export of the essential commodity, the uprising showcased audacity and determination of Manipuri womenfolk against adversary elements.
The same valour and commitment need to be demonstrated by the Manipuri women of the present generation as prevailing situation suggest that a third Nupilan is inevitable.
