Manipur Research Forum (MRF) is organising a book event at the official residence of the Chief Minister of Manipur on the 18th of October 2018. This is to release an edited book; the editors of the book are members of the Forum and the articles are reprints from the Forum's journal - Eastern Quarterly. We, as contributors to the book and/or as Trustees of the Forum, would like to make this statement dissociating ourselves from the said event.
