I’m a 27M Meitei from RIMS Road, currently based in Chromepet, Tamil Nadu, with a Computer Science background, so I’m used to problems eventually having answers. This didn’t.
Currently in my Kedarnath Yatra, during the cab ride and 16 km trek, I had a long conversation with a former Indian civil officer (only realized later he had been part of UPSC interview panels). We spoke about Manipur : its history, identity, and the layered reality shaped by multiple groups,their narratives, Insurgent vs revolutionary: from public perspective.
Then he asked me something simple:
“If you become part of the system, how will you resolve this? What change will you bring?”
I had no answer. I still don’t.
What does “resolution” even mean in a place like Manipur?
Is it stricter law enforcement?
Is it dialogue and reconciliation?
Is it development and integration?
Would genuinely like to hear from people who understand Manipur and the approach.
