Starting a lone campaign to bring focus back to Manipur & will continue till @PMOIndia @narendramodi visits. 807 days since the Manipur crisis began. When will you visit, dear PM? The people are still waiting for answers, for healing, for solutions, for justice. Time to refocus!

“A state is not defined by those who govern it or by its formal ties with the central authority. It is defined by its people, their lived realities, the conditions they endure, and the circumstances that shape their everyday lives…” @Countercurrents countercurrents.org/2026/04/the-un…

“Why didn’t Manipur stir the nation …?” When @virsanghvi asked me… I had no answer because that’s been The question we wrestled with to find the answer. theweek.in/news/india/202…

Thank you, Hoihnu, for sharing our story in your book. It means more than I can express.

@KhambaMoir7985 Not every loud voice speak for the crowd and this is true for both the sides. Let’s also tune in to the whispers…

@hoihnu I hope your book discusses how a certain community wanted to push the State into a perpetual state of violence to reach a certain political end goal

A conversation that delved deeper than the night of 3rd May 2023 in Manipur; gratitude to @virsanghvi for helping us to reflect on the delay of justice; on the very nature of violence; why is there no solution? Hoping we find courage to ask questions as we seek for answers!

Heartbreaking hour, hearing journalist @hoihnu describe searing violence and deep divides that drove her family from Imphal 3 years ago. Also heard personal stories from others of riots in Delhi and pogroms in Kashmir and Gujarat- no justice yet- Book #StoriesTheFireCouldntBurn

Totally, the very best!! Love and salute to him:))

Thank you Pallavi Kumar for such a touching review of my book — your engagement with Manipur definitely brings out a very different perspective. Yes, may there be peace as you so expressed… indiatodayne.in/opinion/story/…

During the peak of Manipur crisis, “Mizoram became a lifeline - perhaps the safest haven for those running from fear…opened its doors and supported…” Deep gratitude to Mizoram… presenting copies of my books to honourable MP Pu @VanlalvenaK @dipr_mizoram @speakingtiger14

“Where are you really from?”, a seemingly straightforward question. Yet, for the people of the Northeast, it’s a shared experience which turns into a moment of explanation.”…an interesting young voice…do read…indiatodayne.in/opinion/story/…

Friends and readers in Delhi. @hoihnu will be discussing her book, ‘Stories the Fire Could Not Burn’, with noted television and print journalist @virsanghvi at the next #PCIConversations. Join us on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, 5.30 pm onwards at Conference Hall, Press Club of India.

If we all resort to writing, we would feel a little lighter. We all carry stories in us - we must write. Or attempt, at least for, in the process, collectively the need for peace will emerge from within. Writing this book is not an act of avenge…it is a process of healing.

What lingers when home becomes a fleeting memory? The ache of what’s left behind... @ThePrintIndia carries an extract…what do people leave when forced to flee? The uncountable losses, the echoes of what could've been…🙏

Thank you @Outlookindia for a review that gets it completely why this book was written in the first place…

Voices in The Wind, a collection of Himalayan folktales, conceptualised & edited by @NamitaGokhale & Malashri Lal. Tales from Western, Central, Central Eastern & Northeastern Himalayas. Proud to be one of the authors! Thank you for the review copy, @PenguinRandomCA @PenguinIndia

The new government's toughest task: calming Manipur's feuds before they spiral into more (communal) violence. And this will be a telling sigh of how true the intent for PEACE would be. We wait, we watch. Yet again…may peace reign.

Here is a fresh review of my book by @bsindia and hoping that it spark conversations and exchange of ideas. Thank you BS! Meanwhile, trollers may continue to deligently do their duties. business-standard.com/amp/book/stori…

Students from Culinary Institute of America (CIA) held my book, eager to dive into Northeast India's food stories. I spoke about the flavours that define us, straight from my pages. First time that a book written in the pre-social media era got this much adulation.🙏@PenguinIndia

I received these books from @hoihnu today. Her powerful autographed message for me says it all: "When homes crumble, stories linger...and every brick will hold memories". Can't wait to read these two must read on #ManipurViolence. Thank you so much Uhoihnu. More power to you!
