You left us on this day in 2005 but you are still alive in our hearts.
You are our ideal, from where we imbibe eternal inspiration, affection and guidance.
You are our ideal, from where we imbibe eternal inspiration, affection and guidance.
Today, as we enter your death anniversary, the nation pays tribute to thee. And millions of ZO’s around the globe shed a tear for you. We remember you.
R.I.P. dear father, hero, and comrade!
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that December day?
When the ground beneath shook in violent tremor, the terrifying thunder roared…
When a hail of Meitei bullets ripped through his body…
Our dear father, Pu Thangthuam…
When he uttered a desperate cry, “Sons of Zo, where are thou? Why hast thou forsaken me…”
And at long last, when he helplessly gasped for breath, surfacing with a final death cry before disintegrating into nothingness…
Where were you on that December day, oh, sons of Zo?
Remember the Oinam Bazaar!
Remember the 31/12!
Remember the Meiteis!
Remember him!
