Why did the entire country go silent on Manipur?

For months, Manipur has been burning. People have lost their homes, families have been displaced, women were brutalized, communities were torn apart — and yet the response from the government and most political parties has felt painfully inadequate.

Where were the endless TV debates?

Where were the “national security” speeches?

Where were the outrage marches from leaders who never miss a camera opportunity?

Every party suddenly became selective with its humanity.

The ruling government kept talking about “control” while violence continued for months. Opposition parties used Manipur as a temporary talking point, then moved on once the headlines faded. Media channels that spend weeks screaming over political drama barely gave sustained coverage to people literally living through fear and bloodshed.

How does an entire state suffer this long and still feel abandoned?

Imagine if this level of violence had happened in Delhi or Mumbai. Would the response still be this slow? Would politicians still avoid direct accountability? Or is Manipur easy to ignore because it’s geographically distant from the power centers of India?

People in Manipur are Indians too. Their pain should not become invisible just because it’s politically inconvenient.

The silence, the delay, the lack of urgency — all of it raises one terrifying question:

Have we normalized ignoring human suffering as long as it doesn’t affect us directly?

Manipur deserved protection, justice, and national attention.

Instead, it got silence, statements, and politics.

Why does Bihar keep failing its youth again and again?

Every few weeks, another horrifying headline comes out of Bihar or about Bihari students, and then the entire system goes silent after a few days.

A NEET aspirant assault case in Patna shocks people across the country, but instead of fast justice and accountability, the case slows down and the accused get bail. Imagine being a student preparing for one of the toughest exams in India while also fearing for your own safety. What message does this send to young women and students in Bihar? That power and influence matter more than justice?

Then comes the murder of 21-year-old Pandav Kumar in Delhi. Another young life gone. Another family destroyed. Another candle march, another hashtag, and then complete silence from the people in power. Politicians will tweet condolences, but who will answer why young people from Bihar constantly feel unsafe, unheard, and disposable?

And in the middle of all this, Bihar’s leadership continues to insult the intelligence of its own people. We are expected to accept leaders with controversial backgrounds, criminal allegations, zero accountability, and endless political drama while the state ranks behind in education, employment, women’s safety, infrastructure, and law and order.

The youth of Bihar are exhausted.

Exhausted from studying in broken systems.

Exhausted from leaving their homes just to get decent education and jobs.

Exhausted from seeing criminals become powerful while ordinary people struggle for basic justice.

Exhausted from being told to stay silent in the name of caste, party loyalty, or “political strategy.”

Why is it normal in Bihar for:

1.Students to feel unsafe?

2.Criminal allegations against politicians to be ignored?

3.Families to wait years for justice?

4.Educated youth to leave the state to build a future?

5.Every issue to become political propaganda instead of a serious discussion?

Bihar has some of the brightest students in the country. The problem is not the people. The problem is a system that has normalized corruption, fear, poor governance, and zero accountability.

The youth don’t want emotional speeches anymore.

They want:

Safe streets

Fast justice

Better colleges

Jobs

Honest leadership

Accountability regardless of political party

At some point, Bihar needs to stop asking its youth to “adjust” and start asking its leaders to perform.
