Imphal, Jan 25:
The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) is celebrating the 107th Birth anniversary of Haipei Rani Gaidinliu on the 26th Jan. 2022 with the pride and joy over the birth of a freedom fighter from our soil and of our blood. A statement by Jenchui Kamei, Chairman, Zeliangrong United Front said, “May this occasion remind Zeliangrong and kindred tribes to exemplify and reflect the spirit of true patriotism and valiant hearts as demonstrated by Haipei Rani Gaidinliu. May The Day be even more remembered and glorified with the ever-growing importance and brightening light of her contributions ultimately rewarded in fulfillment of the nation and the people’s aspiration”.
The statement further said that hundred and seven years have gone since the birth of our lone lady freedom fighter Rani Gaidinliu. Many luminary leaders and figures have left marks of struggle for freedom of the people and gone unrewarded.
“Our land remains as dark region of the world where the light of freedom has not been shone and felt. Notwithstanding the pain, the lost and the disappointment experienced by our people throughout many years of struggles and sufferings, we have this hope that burns within our hearts that someday the dawn of freedom will break upon our people and the birth of our freedom fighter will even be remembered with greater homage and reverence. Quite many significant awards and substantial grants in terms of materials have been made in her name. However, not a tin of hope and aspiration of her people to live in freedom being fulfilled or granted. Therefore, the struggle and the movement remain with the people to this day and will remain in the hearts of the people”, the statement added.
While considering the historical birth of India’s Independence and subsequent declaration of Republic Union of India on 26th of Jan. 1950, the birth of Rani Gaidinliu; 26th January may be coincidently taken or assumed as a mythical herald of hope and assurance of India’s victory and freedom to become a sovereign nation of the world. It was not the birth that makes the history sweet but the struggle, sufferings and contribution that has made her birth and life honorable. Her story and name are common to all, yet her painful account of struggle has not been perceived as deserved, the statement added.
