Nupi-Lal and Women Empowerment: A Study of the Meetei Women of Manipuri Society
Abstract
Manipur, one of the North-Eastern states of India, has been in an active phase of turmoil since the British colonial period and its subsequent annexation to the Indian Union. Insurgency and the resulting implementation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (1958), issues of drug trafficking, unemployment, and gender-related issues have continually plagued the people of Manipur and women in particular. Manipuri women living in a conflict-zone region have always involved themselves in every socio-economic and political situation of the state since historical times, and Nupi-Lal, which is the first ever women oriented movement, shows the glorious and painstaking journey of women empowerment. Even in today's modern society, these empowered women are still trapped in the dark veil of political conflict and social dystopia. The chapter is an attempt to study the social constructs of Manipuri society and to recapture the causes, reasons, and results of the First and Second Nupi-Lal of Manipur and their accumulative impact on the women of present day Manipuri society.
