BANG ZIEH A tam bang thulu zang a lai a’ng gel adiei, a ngol di kisa khat ata diei, ahisih leh bang a ngaisutna mawng mawng a tachibang thute tamna a’ngsuo adiei chi’n na lung himaw maithei. Ngaisut lawm mawng zong ahina hi. Khovel a tazapi bawl di leh sah dih um a, a bang zieh pen tah a underground leader hinuom sese laizang? Nidang lai in, kam a pat thu pawt in ki taihil in, mite kisiemtha thei a, ki giingsah thei hi. Kam a thu pawt koima’n agiin nawnlou chieng in, chieng toh ana kitaihil jel hi. Naupang ahoi diing na deisah leh chieng toh sawi in chi na hi ahiman in. Hinanleh tuhun chieng in koima chieng leh jeep a thungai leh siemthe thei a um nawn tasih hi. Tua ahiman in, singneimi lamkai kihi henlen, thauvui, thautang toh Zo suonte ahoilam in kitai hil leh chi kupnuomna toh tam lai hing kigiel ahi zawbou hi. Singneimi a pang nuom eisa khava u chiei! Hilaizang sing ei. Singneimi lamkai hiphuot lihleh leng tamte bawl hoi kasa hi. Tulai jaat (tribe) chin in mani singneimi kinei chietta ahiman in, koi jaat dangte poi khoilou ham kasawm ding hi. Tulaitah in bawl thei kisa in, i simmaw jaat tawmte tung ah siah (tax) vakhon lihleh phuot lei, ni khat ni chie i gaal ding a guuh a kisiemdap ana kihi khiinkhien ahiman in, tuate bawl mawng mawng lou leh ngaisut a zong neilou kasawm ding hi. 

Manipur a eimite buoina zengzungte pi khat in khat tung a tax chivel adon zieh uh alehluh veleh. Singneimi lamkai hiphuot lihleh leng, koi jaat dang, hamtuomte mun-le-muol, alamsa uh in-le-lou, aneisa uh sing-le-suong, alawsa uh sum-le-paai tualeh thagim a ahawsuo uh bu-le-baalte tung ah thunei sawm in vaihawm lihleh sih veng aw. Tua malah salah ah, tua bang ngaisut aum leh hoitah a kihouna toh suh chimit kasawm laizang sih diei. Singneimi lamkai hiphuot leng moh, politiks, banglitiks, suoilitiks chivel a kisuh minsiet chite zumhuoi kasah lampang anahi diing dan ahi. Mipi deiteelna leh vawihawmna toh khotaang leh sakhuo lampang a pei zang zinzen pen ka siltup hi zing diing dan ahi. Sum themkhat lunggulna toh pawlmin suhmin siet chouh hilou, namsung, gam sung ei lawl hankhu kihong bang zieh a athulimlou diing pen sii toh kibang kasahte khat ahi. Singneimi lamkai hileng, ka dictionary a thuteng kimujou lou diingte: bias, partiality, obliquity, oblique line, greater weight on one side, prejudice, preproposess, favouring one party/person, opponent leh a dng. dngte ahi. Tuathamlou in, singneimi lamkai hileng, kanei a Zogam tangvalte pen koima’n nang tuami tuate pawl chi vakeute hilou in, singneimi ahilam uh zong koima’n athei lou di’n, umdan kilawm theitawp kahil sam sih diei.

Samsau niapnuop, toka kawng tobou a kikhai deepduup chite um lou di atazang veh. Kakhawh ngai kia diing khat khuuu…Ofisar hi ngal buongsam, a mipite panpi naahsaang a a lawl adiing toh buoi a, neeguuh chiingte ahileh thautang toh aheisung munkhat hawmjen a negu nawn sin aw saap, chi’a gel hawmsah peng pung dih.

Lemna, muonna leh bitna um theina di’n michin tung ah kinga a, mikhat muonna umna di’a thuneina a unpi’a apuo hisam lou ahi. Nang-le-ke’n zong mawpuohna lienpi kinei hi. I gam sung ah, thau tawi leh thau tawite’n kilemna anei uh a ngai a, atawi loute’n zong atawite panpi theina lampi nempi aum hi. Tangval thau tawi chiet chiet koi e, ikichi laisie’n I gam sung ah muonna-le-bitna um theilou ding ahiman in, khat thau tawi in zong atawi dangte kaaplum thei ahiman in, ki theisiemna toh Zogam juun angaita hi. Amasa in thautawite kituoh thei phot phot uh leh alampi hing um nava chi’ng.
