Apology

About the Book

From time immemorial, Sana Leibak Manipur was a kingdom. It is beautifully landscaped by a largest body of fresh water, Loktak Pat, and a wild life sanctuary that is home to Sangai—a rare bow-antlered deer. Flocks migrated from Seiberia, and fishes are available in abundance. The romantic myths mirrored Loktak Pat. People have live and enjoyed centuries there; hence, the land has been named Sana Leibak Manipur, golden land. Colonized by the British when World War II was declared, land became a battlefield, a graveyard of patriots. Netaji hoisted a tricolor flag at Moirang, an independent state under the Republic of India. Mansingh and Nungshi meet daily in reminiscence of mischief, erotic times, psychosexual times, and infidelity since adolescence, an aftermath of World War II. There are stories in stories. After the election, the representatives and administrators run the state smoothly, but rampant corruption, dishonesty, and lack of integrity hampered developments. Frustrated youths formed an armed revolution for the status quo of Manipur. Mansingh spent life happily and honestly, but the epidemic of corruptions affected his morals. He committed infidelity against Nungshi and intensely felt shame when he saw a faithful partnership in Thabal Chongbi, who taught him a lesson. He bowed to Nungshi in apology. She was a faithful wife, an angel, a philosopher, and a guide who changed her life for the enchantment of Sana Leibak Manipur.
