My heart bleeds every time I visit my state. I was born in Manipur but, as often is the case in 'war'-torn regions, left many years ago. My wife is not an Indian citizen and when we went to get married in Imphal, the Indian government refused to issue her a Restricted Area Permit, a permit compulsory for all foreigners travelling to the state/region. She was issued a permit after I challenged the then Chief Secretary to give me a good reason why I should feel part of India when I can't even get married in my own home state. You tell me!
