Manipur Blockade, North East Indians.

When North East Indians[Yes, they’re north East Indians, Not Just North Easterns.] used to Fight that India doesn’t give them their due respect and doesn’t treat them as their own, I Used to be angry, That they are Indians too, And why are they speaking against India, But Now I feel different, And somewhat I agree with them.

The people from the north east always had one problem which I saw in delhi or Anywhere I went to. They were addressed as Chinks or chinki’s and They were quite agitated about this, But Sorry on this point, People Everywhere are like that. For an Average Delhite, any Person Living Below Nagpur or even having its origins from there is just a simple ‘Madrasi’. Everyone From Easter UP or Bihar or Jharkhand is a ‘Bihari’ or A ‘Bhaiyyya’. Its not that anyone is biased towards you guys, People are like that to everyone, Every Hariyanvi is a Jaat. Its Just how People Behave.

But Now When People are getting angry and Anti-Indian Government. I’d be standing with them Even though I’ve never really visited North East India.[Not a Fact I am Proud of].

Today when this Blogpost Goes online, it’d be the 101^st day Since the Manipur Blockade started. And the Media Wasn’t Covering it till Only Two weeks back and even now what the coverage is Not sufficient at all. And Only A Part of Media is covering it, I won’t take specific names but we all know who those channels are. And Frankly, This is especially for all those Random News channels, and for those Hindi News channels, who Prefer to show Pooja Misra[Don’t ask me who that is] and Juhi Parmar’s Fights Over this Blockade of a STATE of The Country, Get your Act Together. There’s a reason you’re called news channels, Show some bloody news. Not Nonsense Crap.

For All those who don’t know what this Blockade since the lack of Indian Media Covering it, This Blockade Started 101 days ago from today.  Blockade, which started on August 1, has led to an acute shortage of essential commodities, with the prices of food, medicines, and fuel shooting up sky high. Ordinary people have borne the brunt of the agitation, black marketeers and hoarders are having a field day, and the central government has been a bystander to the less-than-competent handling of the situation by the Ibobi Singh government in the hapless State. The siege began when the Kukis affiliated to the Sadar Hills Districthood Demand Committee blocked National Highways 53 and 39 to press their demand for a Kuki majority district to be carved out of portions of a larger district claimed by the Naga people as part of the ‘greater Nagalim.' The Nagas responded to the SHDDC blockade with one of their own. Instead of handling both firmly, the State government appears to have only worsened ethnic tensions by getting the SHDDC to withdraw its blockade with a written assurance that the demand for a separate Kuki district would be met. The United Naga Council and the All Naga Students' Association of Manipur have since intensified their blockade.

This Blockade Has Led to Actue Shortage in the Daily Use Items in the Area. Basic commodities Like Petrol Sugar and LPG Gas Etc Are sold at Exbortitant Prices. While We, Sitting in the Central Parts of the country are abusing the government for Increasing Petrol Prices by 1.8 Rs. Per Litre and Are Now Paying Rs. 70 instead of 68,  They have to pay anything between 200 to 250 Rs. Pet litre of Petrol. Yes, You read Right, 250 Rs Per Litre. Is that Fair? Is That Justified? And If You say Yes I might Just Break your Face.

And LPG Gas, Which is Used in nearly every home now for Cooking, On a Normal Day in Delhi You’d get it for 450 Bucks. But In Manipur, Its somewhere between 1800-2000 Rs. Yes More Than 400%  Costlier. The People are suffering and The Government is doing nothing.

Now Ask any Random Guy, Most of them Would not Be able to tell the names of all the 7 states and their capitals and then India Fights with China That They are a part of us. Yes they are, But treat them like too, You can’t have different standards for Goa and Sikkim. And till them you start Treating the way they Deserve, I don’t think we have the Right to Fight For them. Work For Them atleast.

They’re a Part Of us. And Please, They are not Chinki’s or Chinese, They’re North East Indians.
