When I visited mainland India, one of the most striking sights was the number of beggars on the roadside. Most of them were homeless, hopeless, and living only for their next meal. Their entire existence revolved around filling their stomachs for the day, with no vision of tomorrow.

Back home in Imphal, such scenes were rare. That absence once felt like something special about being Manipuri. But today, it seems Manipur has reached its own turn. The internally displaced persons (IDPs) of Manipur have become the government-made beggars of the future. Once they had homes, livelihoods, and dreams, but everything has turned to ash. Ethnic violence between communities has left them hopeless, homeless, and helpless.

Everyone loves their home. There is no place more special than one’s own house, no bed more comforting than one’s own—even if the roof leaks in the rain. The violence took away from them and made them shelter into camps is to lose not just shelter also hope to live a life.

The violence has inflicted wounds that are both physical and deeply mental. The suffering of these displaced families cannot be measured in statistics. We all know the pain of broken hope—it is hope that fuels life, and when that fuel is gone, the soul has no drive. Today, the IDPs live only for survival, sustained by a single dream: When will we see our home again? When will we go back?

Yet the government seems indifferent. Political parties and civil society organizations perform dramas of concern, but most of it is for self-interest—votes, influence, or power. None take true responsibility. The displaced people are treated as pawns, their misery exploited for political mileage rather than healed with genuine action.

Worse, even we, the people in our homes and on our beds, often detach ourselves, thinking their problem is not ours. We forget that we have the power to pressure the government to act.

Political parties use the IDP crisis only to prove their rivals’ failures. But if even the Prime Minister has not ensured their return or given them a clear assurance, how can one expect an opposition MP to achieve it? Responsibility is shirked at every level.

The displaced remain where they are—waiting, hurting, and forgotten. Unless the government, civil society, and the people of Manipur unite with sincerity, the IDPs may continue to live as beggars of circumstance, robbed of the dignity they once had.

This is not just their struggle. It is ours.

I don’t understand why the state rushes to repair roads and decorate cities and towns only when the Prime Minister visits—like a woman putting on makeup for a function. Does the PM not want to witness the real, poor condition of our state? Why must we pretend everything is fine, when in reality, we live in hell-like conditions? Is development only meant for the PM’s eyes, while the people are left to suffer? Does the central government actually provide funds for development, and the state misuses them? Or is all this just a cover-up to avoid scolding and questions from the Centre? Or perhaps the PM himself chooses not to see the hardships of the people?

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah defended the state government’s decision to conduct upcoming local body elections using ballot papers instead of EVMs, citing international precedent and the need for purposeful change. Deputy CM DK Shivakumar asserted the government’s right to decide, saying the BJP’s objections showed nervousness.

The BJP strongly opposed the move, with state president BY Vijayendra calling it an admission of electoral fraud and pointing out that Congress leaders themselves won through EVMs. Other BJP leaders, including V Sunil Kumar and Suresh Kumar, accused Congress of fearing defeat and taking Karnataka backwards technologically.

The State Election Commissioner confirmed that ballot papers would be used in elections to five new municipal corporations under the Greater Bengaluru Authority. The decision aligns with Congress’s wider criticism of EVMs and allegations of “vote theft.”

The Government of India’s decision to sign again Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement with Kuki militant groups must be viewed as a pragmatic step aimed at restoring peace in Manipur. While it is true that many of these groups were involved in gunfights during the peak of the recent violence, New Delhi’s approach is guided by strategy rather than sentiment. The SoO is not an act of forgiveness; it is a mechanism to bring armed groups under control, stabilize the situation, and prevent the escalation of violence. Arresting and interrogating them immediately, without first creating conditions of peace, would risk plunging the state into further chaos and undoing fragile efforts at reconciliation.

The government’s strategy is sequential: establish peace through containment, and then, once stability is achieved, allow investigative agencies such as the NIA to pursue those responsible for heinous crimes. Premature arrests, without this delicate framework in place, would almost certainly provoke unrest in Kuki-dominated areas and reignite communal hostilities, eroding the progress made in bridging divides between Meitei and Kuki communities.

Opposition to the SoO agreement by certain civil society organizations and individuals stems from the demand for immediate justice. Yet, such calls overlook the ground reality—that these militants are still backed by their people. Direct confrontation would likely inflame passions and destabilize the peace process. Moreover, rejecting the SoO with the Kuki groups raises uncomfortable parallels: it would be akin to demanding an immediate crackdown on armed valley-based organizations. Such a course would not bring resolution; it would deepen conflict.

It is, therefore, essential to recognize that law is not absent—it is patient. Justice may appear delayed, but when the process of accountability begins, it will inevitably reach those who must be held responsible. No agreement, including the SoO, can provide permanent immunity to perpetrators of violence. The real challenge lies in balancing peace with justice, ensuring that stability today does not come at the cost of truth tomorrow.

A Chinese diver, surnamed Wang, was trapped for five days in an underwater cave in Furong Town, Xiangxi, Hunan province. He got stuck on July 19 after entering a maze-like cave nearly nine meters deep.

Wang survived by staying in a small air pocket and eating raw fish, even as oxygen levels dropped to just 4%. Rescue teams finally located him after hearing faint banging sounds and seeing his flashlight signals.

He was pulled out alive and able to walk to an ambulance. But what caught everyone’s attention was his first request to rescuers: “Do you have a cigarette?” The remark quickly went viral, with netizens praising his survival spirit and joking about his craving.

The NPP will ally with the BJP, securing key positions and portfolios in the new Manipur government. This new government may be formed before the Prime Minister’s visit to Manipur, providing an opportunity to host a grand welcome. Otherwise, the visit could become an underwhelming event.

A large-scale celebration in Manipur—a state that has been marred by ethnic violence for over two years—would serve as a major display of support for the Prime Minister. Modi’s media is likely to highlight this event extensively, portraying it as evidence of his popularity among the people of Manipur.

In this context, Manipur becomes a subtle but significant arena for Bihar politics. The political dynamics in Bihar are crucial for the Modi government, as any shifts there could potentially impact the stability of the central administration.

The opposition has always pressured the Prime Minister to visit Manipur. They kept criticizing him for not visiting and addressing the problems, instead of trying to solve them. Now that the Prime Minister is finally coming to Manipur with some solutions, such as the Free Movement issue and the SoO agreement, why is the same opposition criticizing, mocking, and trolling his visit? Isn’t this hypocrisy? It is clear that the opposition only cares about elections. They know that people feeling betrayed by the Prime Minister’s absence would benefit them politically.

We know our beloved Prime Minister is an old man. In the past two years, when crimes were at their peak, he may have forgotten us—just as old age makes one forgetful. Yet we also know that he loves peace. He visited Ukraine and Russia to help stop the war, and even went to China to engage diplomatically. Humans are not perfect, so it is natural to overlook a small state lying in a corner. And we also understand that he did not come empty-handed. It took him some time to bring meaningful steps—like Free Movement for the Meiteis and the SoO agreement for the Kukis.

That is why we must welcome this old man with grandeur. He is our guest, and we must honor him.

The Only Place Where Equality Truly Exists

Everywhere we look in life, there is hierarchy. Society is built upon it.

In the courtroom, the judge sits above the lawyer, and the lawyer above the client.
In the classroom, the principal is above the professor, the professor above the teacher, and the teacher above the student.
In the office, the boss stands above the employees, and employees rank themselves by seniority.
Even in our homes, there is hierarchy—parents above children, elder above younger, roles that separate each individual.

Religious spaces are no different.
In temples, the priest stands above the devotee.
In churches, the clergy are placed above the congregation.
Everywhere, there is always a visible or invisible chain of command.

Equality between human beings often feels like an abstract concept—something written in books and spoken in speeches, but never fully lived.

And yet, there exists a place where this order disappears.

That place is the mosque.

Here, hierarchy ends.
When prayer begins, an ordinary man may rise to lead, not because of wealth or status, but because of his knowledge of the Qur’an and sincerity of faith. Behind him, in perfect rows, stand men of every background—ministers, professors, judges, bureaucrats, businessmen, and laborers. The powerful and the powerless, the rich and the poor, the educated and the unlettered—all shoulder to shoulder, their arms touching lightly, their foreheads bowing in unison.

No thrones. No reserved seats. No divisions of class or caste.

For those who witness it for the first time, it is nothing short of astonishing. In a world full of visible and invisible hierarchies, the mosque offers a rare vision of what true equality looks like—not just spoken, but lived.

Comment, if there is a other place where true equality between man exists.

To understand the new rules let's read a story.

Ramesh is a small businessman. He loves cash because it feels “easy.” But one year, his habit of dealing in cash created 4 big troubles:

A customer gave him ₹2.5 lakh in cash for electronics. Ramesh happily accepted.

Few months later, Income Tax Dept. fined him the entire ₹2.5 lakh because cash receipt above ₹2 lakh is banned.

When his shop was running low, his friend offered a ₹30,000 cash loan. Ramesh took it.

Later, he got a notice: Cash loans above ₹20,000 attract 100% penalty. He had to pay ₹30,000 fine.

To help his nephew in college, Ramesh gave ₹25,000 cash as a personal loan.

Again, he broke the rule. Cash repayment/loan above ₹20,000 not allowed. Another ₹25,000 penalty.

Finally, he paid his supplier ₹12,000 in cash for goods.

At tax filing, his accountant said: “Only ₹10,000 can be counted. The extra ₹2,000 is wasted.”
So he lost tax benefits.

In the end, Ramesh realized — his love for cash cost him lakhs in fines and higher tax.

Now he uses UPI, NEFT, cheque for all payments and receipts. His business is safe, legal, and stress-free.

Why Not a ‘Manipur Files’? John Abraham’s Questions Vivek Agnihotri

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri, known for politically charged films like The Kashmir Files and the upcoming , has come under sharp criticism after his war of words with actor John Abraham.

While promoting The Bengal Files, Agnihotri lashed out at John for saying he would never make films designed to sway people in “a hyper-political environment.” The filmmaker dismissed John as “not a historian or intellectual” and advised him to stick to “motorbikes, showing his body and eating protein.”

However, John’s counter-question has hit harder. He urged Agnihotri to show the “reality of Manipur Files,” pointing out that the tragic violence of May 3, 2023, remains largely unaddressed in cinema. “No one saw what happened there, now show truth to the world,” John reportedly said.

The silence around Manipur is being seen by many as proof of Agnihotri’s selective filmmaking. While he has aggressively spotlighted the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits and announced films like The Kerala Files and The Bengal Files, critics argue that he has avoided Manipur because the state and the Centre were under BJP rule during the 2023 ethnic violence.

Agnihotri’s detractors say his filmmaking serves more as propaganda than truth-telling, choosing issues that align with right-wing political narratives while ignoring those that might embarrass the ruling establishment.

As debates intensify, the question remains: if Agnihotri claims to bring “truth to light,” why is Manipur Files missing from his list?

Vote Chori is not just Congress’s issue — it’s every citizen’s issue. If you ignore it today, the real fool is you. Keep ignoring, until the day your own name disappears from the electoral roll — and by then, no one will be there to help you.
