---

We, Widows of the Gun: Women from Manipur Break the Silence around Extrajudicial Killings, Fake Encounters, and Violence against Women in India’s Northeast documents the experiences of women in Manipur whose husbands were victims of state and paramilitary violence. The book highlights the intersecting impacts of militarization, political conflict, and gender-based violence on women, including loss, trauma, and social marginalization. Through personal narratives, it reveals how women navigate grief, seek justice, and assert agency in a context of systemic impunity. The work also underscores the resilience and activism of these widows, who organize, advocate, and challenge state violence while demanding recognition of their human rights. Overall, the book provides critical insight into the gendered dimensions of conflict and the role of women in resisting structural oppression in India’s Northeast.
