IMPHAL, Mar 6: Deepak Shijagurumayum, CEO, MyGov Manipur handed over a book titled "Beyond Headlines: Deconstructing the Manipur Unrest" to the Presidential Library of Russian Federation and Sirius University Library, Russia.
Deepak is also an entrepreneur who is participating in the ongoing World Youth Festival in Sochi, Russia, according to a statement. Notably, "Beyond Headlines: Deconstructing the Manipur Unrest" is edited by Homen Thangjam and published by Cultural Research Center Manipur.
During the handover ceremony, Deepak elaborated about the contents of the book to the delegates/participants of the festival. He recommended the participants to read the book so as to get an in-depth understanding of the genealogy and factors that led to the ongoing conflict in Manipur.
The book offers an alternative perspective, challenging the simplified interpretations present in many writings. It argues that these accounts reduce the conflict to issues like Meitei ST inclusion, perceived discrimination, and development gaps, overlooking other crucial factors.
