90-Year-Old Runs In A Tribute To Manipur’s Women Warriors

So imagine our joy when we heard that there is in fact a glorious celebration of women who waged war against exploitation – not just one, but two wars back in the 20th century. You’re probably wondering why you haven’t seen a Facebook post about this already – if it is all that big a deal. For the most part, it’s because this celebration happened in Manipur – part of a region vastly ignored and under represented in national news.
