 Speaking as a former **Lhangsam**—the traditional messenger who once carried news across the hills—is to speak as a custodian of truth and a strategist of information.

Here is the re-framed speech for X space,  designed to honor the tragedy while igniting the "Phoenix" of the Kuki-Zo future.

## The Rising Sun: A Message to the Kuki-Zo People


### I. The Darkness of May 3rd

Three years ago, on the **3rd of May, 2023**, a darkness fell that was intended to be permanent. They burned our hearths, desecrated our sanctuaries, and violated the dignity of our mothers and sisters. It was not a "clash"; it was a calculated attempt to erase an indigenous soul from its ancestral soil.

As a former **Lhangsam**, I have carried many secrets and much data. But the heaviest weight I have ever carried is the memory of those who fell. We bow our heads today for our martyrs, our village volunteers, and those still lingering in the purgatory of relief camps.

### II. The Phoenix in the Ashes: Building "New Imphals"

They tried to bury us, but they forgot we are seeds. They thought by driving us from the valley, they were ending our story. **They were wrong.** We will not beg for a place at a table that was built on our exclusion. Instead, we will build our own.

 * **In Moreh,** we will build a gateway to the world.

 * **In Kanggui,** we will build a bastion of intellect.

 * **In Lamka,** we will build the heartbeat of our administration.

We will build many "Imphals" in the hills—vibrant, modern, and unyielding. We are a resilient people. A people who stood toe-to-toe with the British Empire in 1917 will not "go quietly into the night" in the 21st century.

### III. The Weapon of the New Age: Information is Gold

In the old days, the Lhangsam carried the *Dah* (gong) and the word of mouth. Today, the world has changed. In this century, **raw data is the gold, and information is the shield.**

Those who escaped the fire of the valley did not just survive; they evolved. Look around you:

 * Our youth are becoming **entrepreneurs**, carving out economies where none existed.

 * Our scholars are conquering the **UPSC and MPSC**, placing our people in the halls of power.

 * Our activists are using **data** to force the world to look at the truth.

We are no longer just victims of a narrative; we are the **architects of the facts.**

### IV. The Glue of Suppression

It is a hard truth to swallow, but we must: **Bless those who suppress you.** Not because their actions were right, but because they became the "glue" that united a divided people. Their hatred forced us to remember who we are.

Nothing—absolutely nothing—stands in our way except our own disunity. When we speak with one voice, the mountains move.

### V. I-Gam Hilou Ham? (Is this not our land?)

As our forefathers told the British after the Anglo-Kuki War: **"Our sun will rise again in the east."** To the *Tahchapa* and *Tahchanu* who stumble: Get up. Your day is coming. Never again will we be defenceless. Never again will we be at the mercy of a government that looks the other way.

**I-Gam Hilou Ham?** (Is this not our land?)

 * **Haihih in!** (Do not forget!)

You are the voice for the sisters who were silenced. You are the heartbeat of the martyrs. We raise our voices today not just for the dead, but for the Kuki-Zo children yet to be born.

**The revolution of the mind has begun. We rise from within.**

> *"The blood of our martyrs is the ink with which we write our future. Data is our evidence; unity is our power."*

Arambai Tenggol and Meitei Leepun - a socio-cultural groups gone rogue

 *ARAMBAI TENGGOL & Meitei Leepun - the Dark militant force behind the ethnic violence in Manipur. _by Investigative Media Team_ _ June 10, 2023_ It has become a daunting task for media organisations, intellectuals and even for Indian Law enforcement agencies to unveil the complete truth about these radicalised militant organisations as they operated and proclaimed themselves to be socio-cultural groups until their involvement in the ethnic cleansing pogrom unmasked them and exposed them. They could no longer hide behind the facade of a harmless socio-cultural organisations after their "Black Shirt" storm troopers razed Kuki houses, raped and killed their women, brutally assaulted and murdered in cold blood, hounded Kuki-Zo tribals out from Imphal and adjoining areas close to the Imphal valley. The Investigative team could reach a reasonable, conclusive point of view based  on the witness accounts of victims who escaped from the clutches of these radical organisations, th...

Meiteis are not Indigenous to Manipur

 *Meiteis are not Indigenous People of Manipur* 👉Lt Col Laishram Lokendra Singh(Retd). Except for the die-hard few Meiteis who have been strongly conditioned to believe that they are descendents of Arjuna of Mahabharata fame and they are therefore Mayang Aryans, the overwhelming majority Meiteis do believe that they are Yelhoumee – the indigenous people of Manipur; that their forefathers were the original first settlers of this part of the world and they have maintained historical continuity in living in this land. No logic can therefore say that they are not Yelhoumee/ Indigenous People of Manipur. Scientifically also it has been determined that the so called valley area of Manipur was once upon a time under water. Due to regular siltation during rains from the surrounding hills over a period of time, water dried up and the land became congenial for human habitation. People from the hills came down and settled in the valley. Those early settlers may have been called by different ...
