Manipur: Reactions to Nandita Haksar’s Article

In our issue of June 19, 2010 we published an article by Ms Nandita Haksar entitled ’Constitutional Crisis in Manipur’. The article was reproduced in many papers and websites in the North-East and has generated a lively debate. We have also received some responses directly. We are reproducing some extracts from various points of view so that our readers may get a feel of the volatile situation in Manipur. —Editor
