Heroin users outside a Brothel
In 2006, India's internal conflicts were listed by Medecins Sans Frontiers as one of the most unreported humanitarian stories in the world. At the heart of this statement are the ongoing insurgencies that plague India's notheastern states like Manipur, where up to 16 different militant groups fight for autonomy, or simply a piece of India's booming economic pie. The conflicts waged between militants and government forces leave the civilians of India's northeast living in marginalised communities that are politically volatile and economically stifled.
Amidst these tensions in Manipur's Churanchandpur District, a climate of minimal opportunity and high unemployment cause a large number of youth to turn to drugs to escape poverty. With heroin being produced in the 'Golden Triangle' that stretches between Myanmar (formerly Burma), China and Thailand, and a primary trafficking route being one from Myanmar across the porus border into India, Manipur's youth are vulnerable to a surplus of high quality cheap heroin

My friend, I get no cynical pleasure in writing something bad about our Motherland. I was pretty shocked to see Adam's photos. He is a fotojournalist whose fotos came up in the Time's cover. My point is not to argue with your sentiments (becoz I share the same) its more on not living in denial. I will become just another person who betrayed her birthright if I just looked at the fotos & went on in the living room to watch the football games.
If you ve nothin to say then Fuck off.

i agree about the humanitarian crisis and the ill effects in our country under the shadow of corrupt politicians and law, the hue and cry and uproar of common man is well understood and the fallback to drugs.
