The recent horrifying events in Manipur have shaken our collective conscience and propelled us into a state of profound anguish. The viral video that stated violence perpetrated against women is a disgraceful manifestation of a deep-rooted issue that has scarred the face of humanity. As citizens of this nation, we cannot turn a blind eye to such heinous crimes, nor can we allow the dark shadows of such brutality to engulf our moral compass.

The horrific incident in Manipur reveals a level of depravity that shatters the very foundations of our society. The forced naked parade of two defenseless young women after allegedly getting gangraped, stripped of her dignity, in front of a seething crowd of onlookers, is an act of unparalleled inhumanity. This shocking act of organized crime represents an indelible stain on the face of our nation and casts a pall over the progress we have strived to achieve.

The perpetrators of this atrocity must be brought to justice, and the ruling dispensation must be held accountable for allowing such a nightmarish incident to occur under their watch. This reprehensible act serves as a stark reminder that women's subjugation continues to persist despite the strides made towards gender equality and chest thumping propaganda of the incumbent government. The ordeal endured by the victim calls for an unyielding examination of the deeply ingrained misogyny and patriarchal attitudes that breed such violence. We must address the root causes of this abhorrent behavior.

As a nation, we cannot afford to remain silent spectators to this despicable spectacle. This incident has exposed a wound in our social fabric that requires immediate attention, compassion, and unity to heal.

In the pursuit of justice, we must remember that this is not an isolated incident but a symptom of a deeper malaise that plagues our society. We must confront the uncomfortable truths that lie beneath the surface and endeavor to create a future where no woman lives in fear of such atrocities.

In this grim hour, we must come together and stand firmly against any manifestation of violence, especially against women. We owe it to ourselves, our sisters, daughters, and future generations to extinguish this vile fire that threatens to consume our moral fabric. Only through unity, empathy, and unwavering determination can we hope to restore the moral conscience of our nation and work towards a more just world tomorrow.

It’s now or never.
