Land of thousand heroes
- Imphal Times Editorial :: April 20 2018 -

For any sons or daughters, who are young enough, to learn the art of living in today’s materialistic world, parents are their only means to shape their future.

Without them they are like in a boat without canoe in the middle of the vast ocean.

No human being are immortal, if born they will have to die.

Knowing so die at young age or die at a time when they have someone to look after; when there are dependent especially by children, only God knows the future.

To the world the children become orphan.

If it is in the case of minor girl, it is the hardest life.

A recent accident, at which a mother and her 7/8 months old son died while they were carrying back the dead body of her husband left two minor girls as orphan.

Manipur was once known to the outside world as a place of conflict, hostilities and barbarism.

These were being engraved to the mind of the outsider with the negative news carried by media houses outside the state which struck the mind of the people outside the state.

Rumours about hate story towards outsiders spread by some vested interested people over some issues like ILPS and others had created bad name to the state for so long.

But what people from outside the state felt about Manipur is totally different.

Unlike yesteryear, what is being happened in reality now can be reached to all the people across the world through newly invented technologies. An event happened hear spread throughout the world through social networking site like – faceebook, twitter, Whatsapp, etc.

The road accident of April 11, 2018 which left the two minor girls as orphan, and another story of an 8 years old girl fighting for survival with both kidney failed as well as stories of peoples’ contribution to support poor players are some of the example to prove that – Manipur have more kind hearted people than any other people of any other states or Union Territories in the country.

A father, a mother who had sold all their properties and mortgaged even their house in trying to safe their 8 years old finally smile with thousands of people extending financial contribution for kidney transplantation of the 8 years old girl, at a time when they are left with no money to bore the treatment of their daughter.

The two minor girls from Sekmai Parao, whose parents and an infant brother on April 11 now see hopes as hundreds of people including politicians came for help.

State fencer who was not in the position to take part in International tournament abroad due to financial constrained is now ready for departure with the contribution from many people of the state.

The people of Manipur are fearless and aggressive when it comes on the issue of identity.

They uproar, burnt even the state assembly if anybody tried to distort the integrity of the state.

But they are kind people who always come forward to help the needy. This is a land of thousands heroes.
