Imphal, August 19 2022:
Union minister of state for External Affairs and Education Dr Rajkumar Ranjan Singh on Friday released a book called 'Rani Gaidinliu: Legendary freedom fighter from the North East' written by Som Kamei, a member of Indian Postal Services.
Speaking at the function held at TRC Kalum Kai, Ching meirong here, Dr Ranjan urged the gathering to purchase and make good use of the book about a person of national importance.
Rani Gaidinliu was one of the freedom fighters associated with the Indian freedom movement even though she was not recognised much among the masses of mainstream India.
She was one of the icons from North East India particularly from Tamenglong district of Manipur, he said.
Dr Ranjan also mentioned that it is important to study and research what is written in the book so that people will know how much Manipur had contributed to the Indian freedom struggle.
The book release function was also attended by Hill Areas Committee chairman Dinganglung Gangmei and Prof N Joykumar Singh as guest of honour and president respectively.
