Seigaulal Vaihei of Manipur became an army officer.
If your intentions are strong, no obstacle can break your dreams…The young man from Manipur, who has been burning in the flames of violence for the past one and a half years, has achieved this. We’re talking about Lieutenant Segular Wach. Vaihi has reached new heights in the Indian Army. He has been commissioned as an officer. Earlier, he held the post of Nayak. Vaihi’s story is unique because he comes from a small village in violence-hit Manipur, a village (Bethel) that once burned in the fires of violence. They too must suffer the consequences of this violence. His house was destroyed in the violent fire. The whole family was separated. But his courage could not be shaken.
house reduced to ashes
In an interview with Times of India, he recounted his entire story in detail. Vahi, who became an army officer, said: “When riots broke out in Manipur last year, my family was among the first victims. My house was reduced to ashes. My widowed mother, wife and three children were left without a home. Home. He had to stay in the army camp for a week. Although he took care of our family, the riots left us homeless and he made the difficult choice to move his wife and children from Manipur to Shillong, Meghalaya. While his mother moved to Dehradun to study with him at the Indian Military Academy (IMA) Reunited with his brother who was an instructor.
Not all young people with guns are extremists.
Weihei further said, “We want to go back to the place where we spent our childhood.” Not all gun-toting youths in Manipur are militants. They may be saving their homes and families. Peace is the only solution for Manipur. When all this happened, I had to appear for an interview with the SSB board. We were in good shape mentally and physically in the army, and it didn’t affect my interview, even though I was an officer today despite that period.
Three-quarters of the brothers enlisted in the army.
Bethel Village in Vaihei is a village of only 45 families. The village is currently peaceful, but its land is fraught with tension. Waihei’s heart is closely connected with Bertley’s. His childhood roots are connected here. She is a ray of hope for her family and community. We have land there but we are not sure if it is still ours or has been encroached upon, Waihi said. Weihei was one of four brothers, three of whom served in the military. Vaihei’s eldest brother holds a post in Subedar, Kashmir, while the other brother works as a lecturer in IMA. His father died in the early 1990s. He was a farmer and worked as a daily wage earner.
My father used to be a daily wage earner.
Vaihei says my father doesn’t have any job. Sometimes he works as a farmer and sometimes as a day laborer. The three of us brothers have achieved today’s results through our own efforts. No one in our family joined the Indian Army. We love our country and serving in the Indian Army is the best way to do it, so here we are. Vaihei said, I enjoy playing guitar, especially devotional music. I also enjoy playing football because it is a sport that balances strategy with flexibility in life.
