Undiscovered states in national anthem

Have you ever thought of that in India’s National anthem there are 7 north east states, which are not mentioned in it. When I first discovered that the whole India’s national anthem does not include the north east stated I was astonished.

This major issue got highlighted in my mind because of a play which was held in our college on the occasion of independence day. I never thought that there is some part of India which is not assuming themselves the part of India as a country.

The north east Indians are bounded by a single but very destructive and scary law, which is known as AFSPA (Armed forces special power act, 1958 ). It is a such if it is applied in Metro cities then you cannot believe to express your own fundamental rights which are given by our constitution, even people like Anna Hazare will be killed on mere suspicious and provoking the other people against the government.

Irom Sharmila  was not the one who came forward to save the lives of people living in north east. This issue was highlighted first  by a women known as Manorama. She was against the enforcement of AFSPA on the people of north east. After her revolt she was literally taken out from her home forcefully and brutally gang raped by the people of AFSPA. They killed her only because she stood in front of the government for informing that applying this law on the people has led to very bad situation. 

This gave rise to the people  of Imphal and north east state to revolt. The women of this states came out naked and were screaming eat us eat us!!. This led to Irom Sharmila to come forward and revolt against the government. The media was also helping her a lot. This also gave her to reach the mass audience of north east to tell them to participate in the revolt. She is still on her fast and many years have passed away, but there is no change in the situations of north east. They are still living life with heart keeping as a stone.  

I don’t know when there will be a change in these states, some are developing but some are still facing the crucial side effects of this law. Even some years ago two journalist of Tehelka magazine wrote a story on this issue  and the next day they were killed in the morning light in middle of the road. This even  states that the media is under control and thus people cannot come forward an appose such a crucial issue.

I will not say that go forward and start apposing but look forward to accept this and try to gain more information and aware lot of people about this and let see somehow people living in other parts of country may come forward and revolt against this law.

  1. Parag,

    I finally looked up your blog again, and I am really happy. You have grown from your first post. And all by yourself too. Keep writing, the change will be evident even to you.

    I also worried about this topic you mention here when I first realized it. We have a long way to go before we reach a democratic state!

    Good work, keep going.

    Riya
