On a day like this my friends, anger and sadness is all I feel to describe the horrifying events of the May the 4th and the rape of 2 ladies in Manipur. Words fail me. Yet we have to discuss this violence.
This being said, this is not something new. It has been going on for decades. As I say stop the violence in your home and you will stop the violence in your streets. Stop the violence in your streets and you will stop the violence at your borders.
This volcanic eruption of violence in Manipur goes back centuries. The silent ethnic cleansing of indigenous communities, just like the natives of Canada, USA, Central and South America onto reserves where they have become drug addicts, alcoholics in broad daylight, kept away from their indigenous cultural heritage to forget their ancestors and convert to Christianity, the same is happening in the North East of India. The church's actions and hypocrisy, local anger at its known pedophilic institutions as well as illegal immigration from Myanmar & neighboring areas has led to the violence that has erupted and the rape of her people.
Let us discuss and heal, offload the baggage that we may go further and take our responsibilities to have a better society.
