AFSPA & Human Rights Violation: Analytical findings of Ukhrul District, Manipur. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789356286979)

This book is centered on understanding public sentiment, with a primary emphasis on formulating

constructive solutions derived from input provided by various stakeholders and civil society

organizations.

Unfortunately, Ukhrul district was considered a 'disturbed area' even before AFSPA was imposed in the

whole state of Manipur on 8th September 1980. The fact is, even if there is peace and harmony in the

state, it is always considered disturbed due to hostility. Taking advantage of this, gross human rights

violations have been committed for decades. Several protests and rallies have been staged but have gone

unnoticed by the Central and State governments, leaving much agitation and protests in vain.

The overarching goal of this book is to foster a deeper understanding between the Armed Forces and the

residents of Ukhrul with a concurrent emphasis on making positive contributions to enhance the overall

well-being of the state of Manipur.
