Description:Poetry from one of India's most powerful voices. For more than ten years Irom Sharmila, a young woman from Manipur, has been on hunger strike, demanding a repeal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, a draconian law that allows the army unfettered powers in areas that are considered politically "sensitive" or "disturbed." Taken into custody and released every twelve months by the State for attempting suicide (considered illegal in India) Sharmila is being force fed to keep her alive. Her battle for peace in her strife torn homeland, has become a powerful symbol for all those engaged in fighting for peace in the northeast of India. As she fulfils her chosen role in this movement, Sharmila sometimes longs for all those things that people everywhere treasure - love, freedom, the sheer joy of living a "free" life, even simple things like being able to drink water, to brush her teeth. This small compilation of twelve of her poems provides a moving account of the underbelly of one woman's astonishing struggle for peace.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
