Imphal, October 29 2008:
MANIPUR STUDENTS' Federation (MSF) wished all the people of Manipur especially the womenfolk a happy and prosperous eve of Ningol Chakouba.
This festival meant to expedite the sacred relation between brothers and sisters of Manipur.
MSF expressed fear of losing the essence of this lovely traditional culture of Manipur amidst the gift race and this trend is directing the true love of brothers and sisters towards a meanful relationship which is only based on money.
This is not the original way how our ancestors used to express their emotional sentiments towards their married sisters.
MSF wished all the Ningols of Manipur may attain peace and smiles on their faces which was overshaded with tears caused by incidents of killings around.
