The Quint: Najima Bibi - The 1st Muslim Woman Candidate of Manipur

For Nazima Bibi it is the fear of living that matters more than the fear of dying. The ‘maulavis’ or the muslim clerics in her village have threatened her of denying a ‘kabr’ or grave for contesting the assembly elections in Manipur. But she just doesn’t care whether she’ll get a final resting place in her village when she’s dead. 

Nazima is the candidate of PRJA (Peoples Resurgence and Justice Alliance); the Irom Sharmila led party which is contesting on ten seats in Manipur. She’s contesting from Wagbai in Thoubal district.
