The book The Manipur Files – An International Conspiracy, authored by Dr. Laxmi Kant Gupta, Abhishek Varshney, and Neetu Gupta, has now been released and is receiving strong attention for its depth, clarity, and powerful storytelling. At a time when Manipur continues to face ethnic tensions, political instability, and international scrutiny, this book offers a comprehensive and balanced understanding of the state’s complex realities.
Across 28 extensively researched chapters, the book explores Manipur’s geography, history, ethnic diversity, cultural richness, politics, insurgency movements, and internal conflicts. It also highlights how external powers such as China, Pakistan, the United States, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka are connected to the unrest, giving readers a clear picture of the broader geopolitical dynamics influencing the region.
A key strength of the book lies in its human-centered approach. Rather than focusing solely on conflict, the authors bring forward the voices, struggles, and resilience of the people of Manipur. Their stories, interwoven with facts and research, make the narrative both insightful and emotionally compelling.
Each of the three authors contributes a distinct perspective—Dr. Laxmi Kant Gupta offers expertise in foreign affairs and governance; Abhishek Varshney provides critical insights into public policy and human rights; and Neetu Gupta brings a cultural and community-based understanding. Together, they have created a work that is both scholarly and accessible.
The Manipur Files – An International Conspiracy is a timely and significant contribution for readers who wish to understand Northeast India more deeply. It encourages informed discussions, challenges misconceptions, and provides much-needed context on historical grievances, ethnic complexities, and future possibilities for peace.
Now available across major platforms, this book offers an essential perspective for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in India’s socio-political landscape, national security, and international relations.
