Akampat Relief Camp Inmates' Rally Halted by State Forces.

A planned protest rally by inmates of the Akampat relief camp, aimed at securing a resolution for their return to their respective homes, was abruptly halted by state forces before it could even begin. The inmates had strategically timed the rally to coincide with the monsoon session of the State Assembly, believing it to be an opportune moment as elected MLAs, were present in the Assembly Hall.

The protest ended in violence, with 4 inmates from Moreh, along with one local Meira Paibi (women's activist), being hospitalized due to the confrontation. In a disturbing turn of events, a journalist from Impact TV was reportedly beaten by police officers, who also destroyed his phone and camera as he tried to cover the incident.

The turmoil spilled over to the nearby Akampat Ideal High School, where police fired rounds of tear gas. The chaotic scene left schoolchildren crying in their classrooms, while teachers tried to calm them. Some teachers even confronted the police, questioning why the authorities had not provided prior notice of the rally, which would have allowed them to take measures to safeguard the students.

The incident has sparked significant public outcry, with many netizens voicing their anger at the police and government for halting what was intended to be a peaceful rally. Critics argue that similar rallies have been allowed in hill districts, highlighting a perceived inconsistency in the authorities' response.

This event underscores the pressing need for the government to allow peaceful demonstrations and to listen to the grievances of the relief camp inmates. Addressing their concerns and formulating policies to facilitate their safe return home could bring an end to the 15 months of violence and instability that have besieged the region. Engaging in constructive dialogue and showing empathy towards the displaced can pave the way for lasting peace and stability.



"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."  John F. Kennedy

Lena Forsén and Internet Behaviour Toward Women

Image
The history of the internet is often celebrated as a triumph of innovation, but from its very beginning, it also exposed uncomfortable truths about human behaviour. One of the earliest examples is the image of Lena Forsén, whose nude photograph became the first widely digitally transferred image. Originally used by engineers for technical testing, the choice of this image was not accidental it reflected how male curiosity and desire quickly shaped the use of new technology. As soon as digital sharing became possible, many men gravitated toward sexualized images of women. The internet did not create this mindset, but it amplified it. Screens provided distance, and distance reduced empathy. Women were increasingly viewed as content rather than individuals, their images consumed, shared, and discussed with little regard for consent or dignity. This behaviour was not limited to anonymous users. Real users, too, took freedom without accountability. Many assumed hiding behind use...

The Unseen Cost of Indulgence: A Lesson from our Highschool Teacher

A story that offers a profound lesson on financial prudence and the unseen costs of indulgence. This tale, narrated by Sir Lourembam Kullachandra, our history teacher at Bishnupur Public School, recounts his childhood encounter with Chanambam Ibomcha, the founder of the oldest college in Bishnupur, Chanambam Ibomcha College. As a young boy, Sir Lourembam Kullachandra once visited Chanambam Ibomcha's wholesale shop to buy sugar. When asked about its use, he innocently replied that it was for making tea. Instead of handing over the sugar, Ibomcha sternly refused and admonished the boy, forbidding him from returning to the shop for such purchases. The boy, confused and embarrassed, did not understand the reasoning behind this harsh response. Chanambam Ibomcha's refusal was not an act of unkindness, but rather a lesson in financial responsibility. He was well aware of the boy's family's financial situation—a hand-to-mouth existence where every rupee counted. Ibomcha knew th...
