MANIPUR AS A HUB FOR LOOK EAST
NITIN GOKHALE, Security and Strategic Studies editor at NDTV calls for fixing Manipur’s broken socio-political landscape even as New Delhi embarks on an enhanced Look East policy with Myanmar.
In his op ed in Gateway House, “Look to Manipur before looking East”, he states that the economic blockades that have been imposed by the various communities in support of their socio-political demands had succeeded in choking off the supply chain of the already isolated region and creating artificial shortages of food items and petroleum products, crippling normal life for Manipuris while not achieving much politically.
