##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
Robin S. Ngangom (b.1959-), eminent Manipuri poet and translator based in Shilong takes us into the tragic corridors of contemporary Manipuri society with his poetic engagement on the construction and de-construction of nation and homeland. His poetry juxtaposes identity politics and ethnicity politics, addressing more urgently of the violence that has erupted in the name of identity and ethnicity. This paper is an attempt at reading some select poems of R. S. Ngangom which intentionally or unintentionally have indeed become "the affair of the people”.
