From Irom to the Iron Lady of Manipur-her ongoing struggles Sengupta Tanusree Research Scholar at, West Bengal State University, West Bengal, India Online published on 25 October, 2016. Abstract The paper tries to study certain pertinent issues related to North-East India. Based on secondary sources of study, the paper focuses on Irom Sharmila Chanu-the “Iron Lady of Manipur”. Barring recent interest shown by some Multi-national Energy Corporations, and some narrow political interest, until recently the region was secluded from mainstream Indian population and business. The reasons are unknown and varied. Who should be blamed-the Central Government? The geographical location? Political reasons? Or is it something more or someone else? The North Eastern states have always remained a part of the Indian Territory but remained isolated and recluse. With its many tribes and sects it is difficult to make a general appraisal, especially in recent times when the internal strife have come to the fore in the form of separatist movements-most of them of an armed nature. There is a general alienation rooted in its geography and history. Top Keywords AFSPA, Manipur, Irom, Iron Lady, Indefinite hunger strike. Top | |
