Manipur is a beautiful, hilly provincial State of India. Ethnic violence has however disturbed peace nowadays. Strikes or bandhs, protests, destruction of Govt. properties are order of the day. To make things worse and complicated, security forces are often accused of fake encounter killing, torture, rape and other human rights violations.
Unable to bear such atrocities by the Govt. security forces, Manipuri women went to the extent of "naked protestation" against the Govt. Hundreds of completely naked women aged 50 and above protested in front of the HQ of security forces there in full public view.
Such protests are unheard of and unseen before anywhere in India. May be widespread incident of atrocities against women in the State had became too intolerable for them.
