Manipur Celebrates Music and Recalls Peace

Manipur is a land of beauty, of tranquility and of peace-loving people and to celebrate love, art, music and peace, the state celebrated a three-day long festival in its Andhro village recently. The celebration of the festival aims at encouraging the youths to unite and think about the protection of the wildlife and the environment. The co-dwelling of wildlife amidst people has been encouraged and aimed at enhancing through the festival and to a great extent, the organizers of the festival have succeeded as well. 

The music and art festival celebrated by the youths and music lovers in Manipur carried the theme ‘Where have all the flowers gone?’ The meaning of the theme, as stated very directly, is to recall the bright beautiful days, to encourage people to love nature, to nurture and breed wildlife and bring the good old days back.

The festival showed many folk musicians coming together at one platform and this was one of the most iconic moments to witness and keep framed in heart.

Akhu Chingangbam, the organiser of the festival, said, “In Manipur we hardly have a platform for a youth at the same time it’s a festival about the environment which is very much decaying so we the youth gather together and trying to do something for ourselves to get platform at the same time for the cause of environment and bringing awareness to the people.”

Chingangbam also sang a song about nature and social issues. Apart from the music concerts, there were tree plantation events to commemorate and pay tribute the US folk singer and activist, Pete Seeger on his 96th birth anniversary.
