Reservation, this study inquires into the demands of social reservation of Dalits.1

It is the same case with Maharashtra.
Tangkhul village was considered a sovereign, socialist and democratic village-state by itself since
time immemorial. The administrative set up and the governance of the Tangkhul community is
democratic in nature. The Tangkhul community exercises their own rights within their jurisdiction
and anything against humanity is not compromised. Since the imposing of AFSPA in 1958 by the
parliament of India in Manipur state the situation has become very tense and the image of human
rights have been damage by the Arm forces. Since more than decades Arms forces has committed
several crime against the women in the district the community has come up with courage to fight for
the justice and in some cases the violators were punished as per the law. There are many cases which
are not being investigated by the concern authority but despite the state government negligence the
community civil organization is taking initiative to investigate and brought before the court. The
community itself is tired and warned out of human violation but being struggling for survival under
the shadow of Arm Forces nobody wants to give up fighting for justice.
