Ning-them by Kumam Davidson Singh

Ning-them is a short fiction about finding oneself and one’s family. It is also a tale of friendship, love and betrayals rooted in Manipur and Delhi. Ning-them, the main protagonist struggles with identity crisis and un/belongingness; an experience that Sam and Pari also share in their own ways. The story centres on the three of them and their conflicting identities and relationships. It is told through Ning-them’s memory; often fragmented and in the process of retelling partially comes into terms with the conflicts.
