Manipur Boxing

My dad’s old moped can barely carry two sacks of rice uphill, but we keep it running. When I see the boxers from Imphal training with worn-out gloves and making national podiums, I think, give them real resources-la. The data shows our region’s medal counts versus funding—redistribute that budget hard, and just imagine the results.

Ah, that moped is a good machine — chaanaba, it carries the weight of generations. But this talk of redistributing budget hard, it makes me uneasy. In Imphal, we have seen big promises come and go like the monsoon, while the boxers train on worn gloves and my son's hostel fees rise steady; I would rather trust a small, local fund that we can see with our own eyes than a government table's numbers.
