“Tumduna Leiranu Thoklo Mikap” is a powerful and urgent poem written by Jeresh Khumanthem, widely known as Mr. Jocker. Through her fearless words, she delivers a clear message: “Don’t Sleep, Wake Up, People of Manipur.”
Jeresh is a rising voice from Manipur, using poetry as her weapon to speak truth to power. She’s not afraid to address the harsh realities of society. Instead of staying silent, she chooses to write, to resist, and to awaken others through her art.
This poem isn’t just a collection of verses—it’s a clarion call. A message from one citizen to another. It reflects a burning desire for change, justice, and collective action. Jeresh Khumanthem reminds us that change begins when the people stop sleeping—when they stand, speak, and act.
Let her words travel across every valley, hill, and lane of Manipur. Let them stir minds and awaken hearts. Let the citizens listen—not just with ears, but with conscience.
Poet: Jeresh Khumanthem (Mr. Jocker)
