Two questions : one, disturbing and another, fundamental.

 My body is so accustomed to be woken up by the "Pena Yakairol" over the public address system early every morning at around 3.30 am to 4 am.


This early morning my body was forced to go without its daily early morning stimuli.


So,I woke up late today.I had my breakfast late.This made my body to re-aligned with one-off late breakfast with the accustomed early morning ones.My body is so sensitive to the so minuscule changes to its immediate surrounding.


Why no 'Pena Yakairol" this morning?


My so sensitive body had sprung up to take note of the yet another minuscule(and so easily overlooked) marker of the 24th day of the month of the year 2020.A minuscule possibility of the unlikely relationship between the just-discovered marker of the 24th day of this November and non-availability of "Pena Yakairol" over the public address system this morning?


The marker : 24th November is the raising day of one the numerous rebel groups of Manipur.


Juxtaposing this marker with the practical significance of "Pena Yakairol",this day has just made us come to face to face with one important facet of it -- "Pena Yakairol" announces 'this is now early morning hours--let's make this day an auspicious and fruitful day'.


Going along with this facet of  'Pena Yakairol"'s significance,we can deduce that some people or agencies do not want this 24th day of the month of November of the year 2020 to be 'an auspicious and fruitful day'.(Does the word 'agencies' point to some rebel groups when we take into account the intense rivalries amongst the rebel groups of Manipur?)


Final deduction:Some rebel groups do not want this 24th day of the month of November of the year 2020 to be  'an auspicious and fruitful day' (with the aim to throw a spanner in the birthday celebrations of the particular rebel group).


This makes us to go to the disturbing question:


-- Are the early morning "Pena Yakairol" powered by some of the rebel groups of Manipur?


Again, a fundamental question that will surely shape up the future course of our society:


-- What will be our society's response if some of the rebel groups of Manipur start to encroach upon religious practices of its people?
