A TRIBUTE TO THE IRON LADY OF INDIA :

Activism, strikes and protests go hand in hand with any major issue which requires an overhaul. Often a group of similar minded people forming their own fraternity n pursuing various causes with zest, indulge in it. but for how long ???? some would say until u get the desired result , what if u don’t get the result , for how long would u continue , obviously there would be some limit ,isn’t it???? but for irom chanu sharmila (true personification of resistance ) there is none . Hailing from Manipur she has manifested an impregnable resolution , in a way becoming a role model for people with similar interests .she began fasting in protest for killing of innocent civilians allegedly by assam rifles ( indian paramilitary forces) n has been on nasogastric intubation( feeding from nose) since November 2000. Three days after she began her strike, she was arrested by the police and charged with attempt to commit suicide, since then she has been regularly arrested and subsequently released . Epitomising defiance , she has been relentlessly opposing the AFSPA ( armed forces special power act) for over a decade. An avid follower of Gandhi , she has given a new definition to non violent protest, which was hitherto not seen n which even the erstwhile doyens would have found tough to emulate. caught in the vortex of countless promises and equivocal assurances , she has managed to trump all n exhibit her might at national platform .while all of us are enjoying our normal lives , she has been battling this cause in solitary incarceration . her sheer audacity begets reverence n should be held in high esteem.
at the end of the day its govt. call to either repeal AFSPA or not but this indian amazon imbues me with pride with each passing day.
