I had the privilege of going viral. You don’t do it on your own. You put in *some* sort of effort to share stuff and people decide what to do with it.
And it feels awful when others just get away with copy/pasting that effort for their own fame. And then block you.
#Manipur: The Hmar Women Association organised a rally to condemn the crimes committed against women by #Meitei mob. Over 3,000 people took part in the rally that was held in Senvon village, Manipur on July 25.

For over two months, there has been a near-total internet blackout in #Manipur.
These blackouts prevent the world from seeing the true extent of the serious human rights violations taking place in Manipur.
The restrictions must be lifted immediately.
Manipur Govt recommended I consider postponing my visit due to law and order situation. After deliberation on their suggestion, have decided to fly to Imphal as planned. Sought time from Manipur CM. Will meet him & request him to come along to visit the sexual assault survivors.
You were in Congress party until 22nd August 2015. Which means you were part of the endless blockade problems in Manipur when Congress was in power, as well as you are again part of the current Manipur problem because you are now BJP member. Next time switch party with proper calculation, Sirji. 😅
These two young girls, namely Florence and Olivia, who were working at a car wash in Imphal, were raped and murdered. So far, their parents haven't been able to claim their lifeless bodies, which have been in the mortuary at Imphal for over two months.
Now, who will speak for them?
This is not about Kukis or Meiteis; it's about being human. It's about humanity and our sisters, daughters, and mothers—it's about women.
Will we remain silent simply because there is no video available, like in other cases?
Should we only take such incidents seriously and speak up when visuals are present?
Let's imagine these two innocent young girls as our dear sisters and speak up for their family and them.
If we don't speak for them, who will? Humanity has been silenced, as these two young girls couldn't speak for themselves.
We must raise our voices and speak up to ensure that India will never again witness such tragic incidents.

Immanuel Hmar, a Kuki-Zo tribal from Hmarkhawlien, was killed on his way to Kerala. During his last phone call with his wife, he mentioned that he was surrounded by a groups of Meitei men with knives, and he feared for his life. His lifeless body was discovered on 18th July in AP
On record #Manipur CM @NBirenSingh shamelessly accepts that there 100’s of such FIR & video was leaked only yesterday so he came to know about it - he still continues as CM of the state ? To hell with accountability & responsibilities!
None knows what is happening & none has control over it!
Tribals belonging to the Kuki-Zomi-Hmar-Mizo community of #Manipur rallied today for Separate Administration.
'We shall overcome someday,' sung in chorus the hopeful thousands gathered today, despite all the lies, rape and murder, still having faith in the idea of a just India.
