Imphal, May 31 2019:
The proscribed PREPAK(Pro) has categorically stated that India must 'decolonise' Kangleipak.
A statement issued by the outfit's Chairman L Paliba on the occasion of the 9th Progressive Day (June 1) asserted that it's time for India to decide the fate of every State either to keep them inside the Union of India or give them the right to self-determination.
It also conveyed warm greetings to all the revolutionary parties of WESEA, CSOs, learned persons, media fraternity and all the people on the occasion of the 9th Progressive Day.
The present degenerated society of Kangleipak should not be overlooked or ignored.
The habit of scrounging and the habit of quick earning through drug business are the apparent ways and means of people's livelihood.
The idea that keeping company with non-local rich people will receive social values is a wrong perception and it is tantamount to a dependency syndrome, the outfit remarked.
Due to all these unwanted and negative influences, the society is being guided by rogues and charlatans.
The Nation has been perishing and it is being fiagmented into pieces.
Elder people are no longer respected and there is no respect and confidence among the youth, PREP AK(Pro) rued.
The outcome of blindly following non-indigenous religion and culture without moderation for about 250 years helped India in annexing Manipur in 1949.Development based on indigenous people has been totally neglected due to the disintegration of unifying core-force of a society such as religion and culture.
It is very unfortunate that little attention is being paid when Kangleipak is slowly transforming into a business hub only for non-local people.
In order to sustain their colonial rule, British rulers once created a class of Indians who were acquainted with English taste, thought and knowledge.
There are many such types of people in Kangleipak whose thoughts and minds are deeply ingrained and influenced by the unfamiliar strange customs and culture of India.
Besides, there are many people whose bloods are totally mixed up with Indians.
If this situation continues any further, sooner or later Kangleipak will become a land of Hindutva.
In such a situation, the revolutionary causes would be meaningless, and it will be an added boon to the alleged Indian expansionism, read the statement.
Unrealistic viewpoints and hypothesis of 1970s and 1980s can be never be applied as a guiding tenet of revolutionary parties in this fast-changing world.
The alleged Indian colonialism and globalization are like a double edged-sword.
"While we have identified the true adversary, we have not yet unearthed the effective means to face it.
Therefore, we need a well-planned coordinated effort and work together efficiently to face the adversary", Paliba said.
India wanted to proclaim that it had attained independence by struggling and fighting over the years.
However, they felt guilty and shame about the fact that British Parliament passed Indian Independence Act 1947 to hand over India's Independence.
To save face and to cover up the historical facts, Article 395 of Indian Constitution repealed Indian Independence Act 1947 and Government of India Act 1935.The main reason for putting an end to all these Acts were nothing but to clear the cloud hanging in the minds of top Indian leaders.
Under any unnatural circumstances, if British Parliament quashes the Act, India would lose its independence.
The British Cabinet Mission on 16 May 1946 recommended that there should be a Federation of India including Princely States, integrated by a minimal Central-Union Government which would be limited to handling foreign affairs, communication, defense and only those finances required to care for such Nationwide matters; all the residual subjects would be vested in the Provinces and the Princely States would retain all subjects and all residual powers.
The Mission had also recommended to elect a Constituent Assembly with the objective of making Indian Constitution.
Consequently, there was an important provision in the Indian Independence Act 1947, which allowed Princely States to either join one of the two new Dominion States (India or Pakistan) or remain independent after British Suzerainty lapsed on August 15,1947.But this provision terrified the then Indian leaders and later it was made invalid and repealed by Article 395 of the Indian Constitution, continued the statement.
On one side, Manipur Constitution Act, 1947 was framed and adopted as it was felt that once British Paramountcy lapsed, there would be an independent Manipur, and the rule of law would be established.
Then, a popular Government was formed under Constitutional monarchy, which had ruled independently from August 15,1947 till October 15,1949.Till now, India never realized and apologized for the illegal annexation of Manipur, the outfit remarked.
