The world calls her the Iron Lady acknowledging her undying spirit. Her steadfast fast-unto death, undertaken for more than ten years, to repeal the Armed Forces (Special) Powers Act from the soil of Manipur has received international attention. They say there is no room for killing and violence in a truly democratic country. Indeed, they say, there is no room for suppression and oppression in a truly liberated country. However, the Indian State refuses to repeal the same Act in the name of “law” and “order”.

Instead, she's been declared as a proclaimed offender and a criminal numero uno, forced-fed and imprisoned in a high security prison.

Human rights continue to be violated. Lives continue to be taken away. And mournful wails of widows and orphans reverberate in the valley and hills of Manipur.

She's the one and only person who defies the might of the Indian state.

She is truly the embodiment of the triumph of the human spirit and the icon of peace and human rights.
