IROM CHANU SHARMILA
What is social action?
• According to Grace Koyle (1937) defined social action as the attempt to change the social environment in ways, which will make life
more satisfactory. It aims to affect not individuals but social institutions, laws,
customs, communities.

Kind of activism
She is on the fast from
last fourteen year, thus,

Cause of activism
• On 2nd November,2000, Assam
rifles on the account of suspicion
shot down 10 civilians in Malom
Bus stop also known as “Malom
Massacre”.
What is AFSPA?
• The full form of AFSPA is Armed Force
(Special Powers ) Act 1958 gives huge powers
to the armed forces of the union; the military
can shoot anyone on suspicion when an area
comes under its purview. No legal action can
be undertaken against the armed forces for
misusing the law without prior approval of the
union government.
Reason for AFSPA
1. Resentment among the Manipuri’s on the
forceful annexation of their princely state
from them.
2. Unethical Naga outfits with their dream of
having a greater Nagaland through integration
of Manipur.
Continued…..
• A joint rebellion of extremist group like PLA,
ULFA spread over Nagaland and Manipur in
1970’S and slogan of liberation has been
raised, the failure of curtailing the rebellion by
state force lead to enforcement of AFSPA in
Nagaland and parts of Manipur called
“disturbed areas”.
Continued…
• But this became draconian because locals were
abducted, tortured, killed without proper
investigation and only on suspicion causing
further resentment among people towards
Indian Union.
Current scenario
• People feel their life with full of awfulness,
live in constant fear of being targeted by army
on false suspicion.
• No consideration of union to curb back AFSPA
from the state.
• Social functioning of the people of the state of
Manipur is being compromised.
Model practiced
Personal social service model
It talks about the benefits which a person should get for his smooth social functioning. It includes: -
• To provide service to those individuals, families etc. whose optimum social functioning is being compromised.
• To spread the social protection on groups which are deliberately prone to exploitation or degradation.
