Their political actions in political system of Manipur cannot be considered as students\' response to emerging issues only, nor can they be seen as for regional interests. The book is on the nature of student body (All Manipur Students\' Union) and its political interests. This book not only analyses permanent interests of the union but also temporary interests.
