Meet Irom Sharmila, Manipur’s Iron Lady

She refused to eat for 16 years demanding the repeal of AFSPA from Manipur. This made her one of India’s most prominent faces of resistance. She turned 47 today. Who is she?

    AFSPA was causing a lot of innocent civilian suffering and sometime even death .During the late sixties and early seventy there are a lot of cases.One case for example,one night in Baktawng,Tlangnuam area,during that time,a young child was severely ill,so close relative came to stay with the ill child throughout the night,without venturing outside the house because all night curfew was the norm everywhere in Mizoram.They light a kerosene lamp with a very small light and talk only in a whisper. But the State Reserve Police who were on night patrol foolishly deduced that insurgent are in the house ,so without giving warning they just charge in through the door shooting all around.One of the parent of the child and 3 children were shot dead in cold blood.The brain of the ill child was spattered all over the pillow. The only survivor of this massacre are the adult relatives who somehow jump out through the window.So AFSPA is one of the baddest law that ever chained and smothered civil liberties

    As an avid and ardent member of 'Comments Reading Association' I would like to request all brethren (Hindus + Muslims+ Miscellaneous) and to their respective sisters to keep the comments short, crisp and akin to the topic! Lengthy narration takes away the zeal while reading such wisdom brimming comments!
