Imphal, March 11 2011:
In fact, the Manipuri nation has been dehumanized to the status of semi-humans.
As a nation, Manipuri people are on the verge of extinction with little hopes of revival.
Quoting British historian Arnold J Toynbee, "Out of twenty-one notable civilizations, nineteen perished not by conquest from without but by moral decay from within", the outfit alleged that the sorry state of affairs prevailing in Manipur is a direct consequence of the alien rule.
The Indian regime is a hegemonic one under which the victimised people are forced or coerced to accept all repressive measures by way of imposing softer foreign culture.
The situation has come to such a pass that many indigenous people are not willing to accept that they are being subjugated.
Many people have now emerged preaching that "we should not blame others for our faults" conveniently forgetting that all the socio-political and economic decadence being witnessed in Manipur are results of the Government of India's insidious policies.
The most potent weapon being used by India to suppress the people of Manipur is their economic policy.
The Indian economic policy being implemented in Manipur is basically focused on minimising the State's economic base and paralysing its productive forces, the outfit alleged.
Under such economic policy, an unbridgeable gap has been created between the people's productive capacity and their aspirations.
For a man to earn enough to meet his aspirations, he can only do it through underhand and deceitful means.
Ultimately, this policy has deprived the Manipuri of their work culture.
"It is this policy of the Government of India which has been sustaining our minimal purchasing capacity thereby rendering us parasites while deliberately staying away from any long term capital investment", the KYKL asserted.
Such policy is known as 'assistancialism' in Latin America.
It is like treating an illness on the symptom for temporary relief instead of treating the illness itself for permanent relief.
This policy of paralysing all productive forces and keeping the Manipuri nation completely dependent on the funds sanctioned by India is a form of paternalism.
It's like parents feeding their dependent children to avoid starvation.
"Even as all these policies of downfall happened right in front of our eyes, we failed to realise it nor did we take up any measures to neutralise the Government of India's hegemonic policy.
We were asleep for more than 60 years.
Though it is late, we must make up the deficits", the outfit called out.
The foremost national politics that Manipur should pursue as a nation at present is to make the nation fit and competent to be a sovereign nation,
KYKL asserted.
