Imphal, March 12 2011:
This foremost national priority of making the Manipuri nation fit to be a sovereign nation should be pursued under the alien rule.
In fact, all the programmes should be executed within the hegemony of India.
On casual observation it would look like improving the Indian system or supporting the Indian hegemony.
But the truth is, it is neither supporting or consolidating the Indian regime.
On the contrary, it would expose the ugly characteristics of the Indian regime and ultimately weaken the Indian rule.
This would also help in conveying the core message of the revolutionary movement to the masses.
It is paramount to protect and let the people survive for it is them who wage the decisive revolutionary movement.
It would sound absurd and irrational if one is talking about revolution when the nation has disappeared.
Protection of the nation and the revolutionary movement should go hand in hand.
Under the prevailing conditions, the revolutionary movement should be for safeguarding the nation and its identity.
Safeguarding the nation's identity means keeping the nation alive.
"For the Manipuri nation to remain alive, the most important task is to groom and educate ourselves", the KYKL asserted.
The present situation demands that all the people should be taught to think critically.
The first and correct step towards bringing changes in the practices and ways of life of a nation is to inform them about the reality surrounding them.
Only those people who know the reality would be successful in their endeavour for change, it stated.
Those people who know their own reality have critical consciousness.
Again, only those people with critical consciousness would have the capacity to work for changing their reality.
Working to change the existing reality means waging revolution or joining revolutionary movement or becoming a revolutionary, the outfit elucidated while asserting that the most rightful way to activate the mass is to teach them think critically and inculcate critical consciousness.
This would be able to free the mass from the culture of hopelessness and culture of silence and this would once again humanize the Manipuri nation.
"By inculcating critical consciousness among our people, we can build up our individual manners as well as national character, and our national character would determine our future", the outfit claimed.
Quoting Greek philosopher Heraclitus's saying, "Character is destiny", the outfit said that this conviction would form the basis of the revolutionary movement as well as freedom.
In another word, inculcating critical consciousness means giving proper education.
For this, there is a need to launch an education campaign in the society.
The campaign should encompass all sections of the society and it should cover both formal and informal education systems, within school and outside.
Informing that the KYKL would be launching an intense education campaign, the outfit asserted that the campaign demands revival of the ONK in order to correct and improve the formal education system.
This time, the outfit would focus more on ensuring mass participation in the campaign, the outfit informed while appealing to the people to join the second edition of the ONK.
