There’s always a certain drama that keeps unfolding in Manipur (Kangleipak) one day after the other, where grief or any form of human suffering is constantly being turned into a joke! By now, if you are aware, you’d better know Meiteis have a peculiar way of treating everything as a media spectacle; it’s in their DNA. These people seem to care more about broadcasting than facing what’s real They treat real-life tragedy like a Bollywood script and they themselves fall for it. And as always, there is him ..a Meitei man who just lost his wife. Yet, he somehow spends the entire day of his partner’s death posting and curating his sorrow as if it’s content, even while accusations are floating around that he was unfaithful and the main cause of his wife’s death. It forces one brutal question.. Is he really mourning his wife, or managing his audience, or celebrating by pretending to be grieving? Because simply anyone who’s experienced real grief and loss would know thst it makes you want to disappear , not perform. If love meant anything to this man, silence would’ve been his first instinct. But instead, he sensationalizes her death and turns a real human loss into a social-media storyline, or as we call it in Manipur, “Shumang leela.”
