Dear sanatombi. I am avid reader of your column manipuri masala. The latest article titled " The creed of love sans rubbish religion" is a good piece to read until the last para where you brought in the term hao to signify the tribals. I knw the word might have all shorts of good connatations in the past but right now we all know what it means. so kindly do not use such politically incorrect words in the future again. As the saying goes pen is mightier than sword. words like this can create enmity in the manipuri (meaning people of manipur state not just meiteis) society.apart from words like this. your article are good please do keep writing. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your opinion and would admit that there is no room for ill-intention in my writing. Before apologising for this late reply, sometimes, I would consider it is essential to grab the reality for its own sake and thus the use of this politically incorrect term. Don't we use it blatantly? We might want to mask our shortcomings but never try to understand or accept it. of course, I should have some restraint in the future.
