The book was released by former president of Manipuri Sahitya Parishad and noted writer Nongthombam Kunjamohan.
Coming here to release book written by writers based outside the State has been hailed as an honour not only for the native writers but also of the people as a whole.
Interacting with The Sangai Express on the sideline of releasing the book, the writer couple said they have come all the way to release the book based on the philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi in Manipur to remind the people of the strife-torn State with the message of Ahimsa that awaken the people of India from their slumber.
Manipur is the State where Irom Chanu Sharmila has been fighting for the cause of people through Satyagraha, which is the only weapon of Ahimsa, they added.
The connection between the writer couple and State does not end here.
They have also played a pivotal role in highlighting of issue and the subsequent agitation for inclusion of Manipuri language in the 8th Schedule of the Indian Constitution through their write-ups in journals and electronic media outside the State.
