ANNIVERSARY MUSINGS

Thangkhanlal Ngaihte

‘Anniversaries are’, the columnist Ian Jack wrote recently in The Guardian, ‘our way of drilling into history’s groundwater and sending it up to splash briefly on the surface of the present.’ He was talking in the context of two big ones happening this month: India’s 60th birth anniversary on August 15 and Lady Diana’s 10th death anniversary on August 31.

Personally, I care to observe very few anniversaries. India’s becoming 60 years old didn’t mean much to me. Most of the anniversaries I care about are in commemoration of sad events. One of them is coming this Monday.

On August 20 last year, my elder brother Thawngkhanlian died when a stray bullet fired by 3rd Rajputana Rifles hit him at EBC Church, Vengnuam, New Lamka. One year is now about to pass since that fateful day, but I still think of my brother everyday. On happy occasions, I wished he was here to share and experience the fun. On sad occasions, I longed for his reassuring presence and innocent humor to cheer me up.

But, yes, this is a personal issue. I do not intend to bore you my sob-story. But there is an aspect to it which holds significance for all of us.

If you jog your memory a little, you will recollect that Lamka was shut down for two days after the August 20, 2006 tragedy happened. Apart from one dead, there were five others injured. And it happened itself a Church compound. Two days after the incident, as part of the agreement reached between the Churachandpur District Students Union (CDSU) and the Manipur government, an inquiry commission was set up at the Magisterial level to probe the circumstances leading to the firing. The inquiry, to be conducted by the DC, Churachandpur, was to submit its report within a month of its institution.

One year is now about to pass, but the present Churachandpur Deputy Commissioner, Sumant Singh is yet to complete his Inquiry. I have been following the chain of events closely. He last summoned (‘requested’ may be a more appropriate word here) the 3rd Rajputana Rifles to give their testimony before the Inquiry on July 27. They did not turn up. According to the Voice of New Lamka, this was the fourth time the Army authorities failed to turn up for the hearing consecutively.

So, in the face of this willful non-cooperation and contempt by the 3rd Raj Rifles, how is the Inquiry to go on? It is obvious that most of us no longer care about it, but it stood out to me like a sore thumb. Last week, I had requested a journalist friend of mine to inquire about it and he told me that the DC is as frustrated as I am!! The DC, Sumant Singh had assured me, when I met him myself in January that he is going to expedite the process quickly and I have no doubt about his good intentions. But there is a question that needs to be asked, and honestly answered at the larger level.

What good is there to set up an Inquiry if it will not even have the power to force compliance on those concerned? Was it not an exercise doomed to failure from the start?

Everybody else did what they are meant to do. Eye-witnesses from Vengnuam locality, starting from the EBC Local Pastor downwards, answered the summons and regularly make appearance before the DC. Even the local newspapers have, unusually, gives us regular updates on the Inquiry, telling us when summons are made, and hearings postponed. It is ironic that those in uniform, supposedly bound to uphold the law, themselves showed disrespect to the Inquiry in so open a manner.

But this is nothing spectacular. Manipur is saddled with uncompleted inquiries by commissions of all types. It was Justice WA Shishak, then chairman of the Manipur Human Rights Commission, who presciently said in an interview to the North East Sun (April 30, 06) that inquiry commissions are set up by the government to cool down people’s anger. Looking at the number of officially-sanctioned inquiry commissions lying idle after the initial public outrage died down, it is difficult not to be cynical.

There is also nothing to be surprised about the military not responding to calls by inquiry commissions. This is more of a norm than an exception as far as the military is concerned. Remember the Manorama murder case? The judicial commission had, in that case, to actually issue arrest warrants against those personnel defying summons as the Assam Rifles desperately tried to shield its men from the law.

But, here today, I bear no ill will against anyone. Not on this solemn anniversary. May I just say that I and my family wished that all matters relating to my brother will come to their logical conclusion soon, because every time we saw his name in the papers, the groundwater of sadness stored in the recesses of our being splashed up to our faces, drowning us in tears of loss and emptiness.

Lastly, I know I am in good company because someone’s brothers and sisters got killed in our state everyday. To all those who, like me, lost their love ones to the mindless conflict in our beautiful state, I have one question. Does time really heal? I am asking, because I don’t think it does, at least not to me. What happens was–as time brought more and more tragedies and troubles, the old ones get somehow eclipsed by fresh wounds. But that doesn’t mean the wounds heal. They simply get deflected, temporarily. To me, anniversaries are occasions to release suppressed feelings and emotions and give expression to them. They are time to look back and take a deep breath. And to reflect on life–of us and them. But, will the tragic sadness of losing a loving brother or mom or dad, ever get compensated?

Shri O. Ibobi’s Cup of Woes

By : Thangjamang Haokip [8/18/2007 1:39:09 AM ]


President Abraham Lincoln once declared, “Democracy is a Government of the people, by the people and for the people”. In our state “the Government off the people, buy the people and forced the people”.

Shri Ibobi Singh has scripted a record that he is lucky to serve a full term as Chief Minister in his first stint. He is all the more fortunate that the Congress Party got the mandate of the people very handsomely in the last Assembly Elections. Judging from the “balance-sheet” of the S.P.F. Governance, during the last tenure, Shri Ibobi’s cup of woe is overflowed as the entire state is reeling under lawlessness, barbaric crimes, wanton corruption and utterly abominable pursuit of accumulation of wealth by the elected representatives of the people. Any sort of M.O.U. inked by him or his government is as good as pandora box which release all the ills of governance and Ibobi Singh may be aptly called “Vendor of M.O.U.s”.

Let the people make their own assessment or judgement on the following “posers” amongst other very many difficult questions.

1. What is the answer to the exposure of the Weekly Magazine, “Outlook” in the 12th December 2005 issue with the banner headlines “Manipur C.M. Gave Rs. 1.5 Crore to Separatists”.

2. Has the NSCN-K’s disclosure on transaction with Ibobi, published in the 5th June 2006 issue of the Eastern Mirror based at Dimapur boiled down to fiasco?

3. Non restoration/revival of the District Autonomy in the six districts in the Tribal areas of Manipur which had been superseded or dissolved in 1989-99.

4. Complete failure in Capitol Project and B.T. Road fly-over which was launched in 2003.

5. At the time of Annual Plan discussion, the State Team cringe or flatter with mean servility to get fat amount from the Central Government as a small and poor state. How does Ibobi justify laundering of fund in the shape of M.L.A. Constituency Development fund which has been increased from twenty lakhs to thirty lakhs per year. It is undeniable fact that it is not utilised as it ought to be.

6. Open defiance of the verity of the 2001 Census after as many six or seven years have lapsed by taking decision in the S.P.F. Cabinet meeting on 30th July 2007, and inclusion of discussion in the business of the State Emergency Assembly session most recently is a sinister motive to thwart the delimitation of Assembly Constituencies and Parliamentary Constituencies and Parliamentary Constituencies. The silence of the tribal legislators and ministers is surprising. Are they sulking as political pawns of Shri Ibobi?

7. As regards Moreh town which would become a border trading centre of outlet to neighbouring Myanmar is in the Autonomous District Chandel, the land of tribals. His intention to convert it into municipality is tantamount to alienation of tribal rights over land in the absence of elected Autonomous District Council at present. It also in violation of Sub-clause (2) of Clause 1 of the Manipur Municipalities Act, 1994 which reads as follows:- It extends to the whole of the state of Manipur except the Hill areas to which the Manipur (Hill Areas) District Council Act, 1971 extends or any area which is included in a Cantonment under Cantonment Act, 1994.

8. He was walking on a tight rope on the eve of inducting Cabinet Ministers after he has sworn in on the 2nd March this year. As a daring act of blunder and lack of political acumen, he rewarded Churachandpur District with two Cabinet Ministers which included one of the members of his coterie, nicknamed “I.G.P.” (Ibobi, Gaikhangam, Phungzathang). His wrong strategy is manifested further by allowing Imphal East District to get five Cabinet Ministers. These whimsical act hurt the sentiment of other ruling M.L.A.s. Is he adamant to remedy the blunder?

9. It is futile to talk about the law and order situation in the state and specially in the tribal areas where no sign of the existence of government is seen. The miserable condition of the General Public is beyond explanation, while hon’ble C.M. O. Ibobi enjoys in his Musical Chair.

10. Lastly, rejection of the 2001 Census by the S.P.F. government should mean the election to the state Assembly in February 2007 also should be rejected by the S.P.F. Government as the Election Rolls are based on the general census 2001.

Manipur tops Union govt list of UG groups declared unlawful

By : Thingbaijam Dhamen/IFP 8/18/2007 1:49:18 AM

IMPHAL, Aug 17: Manipur still has the maximum number of militant outfits, declared 'Unlawful Associations' under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 in the country for the current year.

At least seven groups in Manipur including the PLA, UNLF, PREPAK, KCP among others have been declared unlawful, according to the Union home ministry order received by the Manipur government on August 14, an official source in the state home department said.

Mention may be made that of the 32 organisations dubbed as "terrorists" under the Government of India ordinance, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Ordinance 2004, 10 are from the northeast region, and of these 10, six are Manipur based, and all of them are valley based.

Interestingly, none of the Naga or Kuki underground organizations figure in the list, although for reasons best known to the government, four Khalistan organizations are included long after the Khalistan movement is claimed to have been put to rest.

The term "unlawful activities" in the context of the ordinance, it is obvious means basically "terrorist" and "insurgent" activities with secessionist agendas.

The sweep of the definition of some of the crucial terms, in particular "unlawful activities" and "unlawful association", should be cause for alarm.

As for instance, clause (iii) of the definition of "unlawful activities" says it constitutes activities "which causes or is intended to causes disaffection against India."

The worry should be, the looseness of the definition could also result in the looseness of interpretation, making it prone to become an excessive and disproportionate weapon against all legitimate criticism of the establishment.

Likewise, the term "unlawful association" is defined among others as an organization "which encourages or aids persons to undertake any unlawful activity….."

The posture is tough. Penal measures for such activities include " … if such act has resulted in the death of any person, shall be punishable with death or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine."

Those who raise funds meant for these organizations "shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than five years but which may extend to imprisonment for life…"

This clause should be of relevance to the situation in which government employees are made to contribute a percentage of their salaries to various proscribe organizations, and businessmen and others forced to buy their peace by paying off the these organisations.

For harbouring members of proscribed organization the punishment is a minimum of "imprisonment for a term of three years which may extend to imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine."

Any person or business house guilty of these offences can also end up with their property and all other assets, including bank accounts, shares in companies, stock holdings etc forfeited to the government.

In all these cases of forfeitures, the transferee will be either the state government or the Central government, depending on the nature of the case.

Among the four clauses by which an association can be deemed as involved in terrorism is if it "promotes or encourages terrorism."
A person who can be deemed to be involved or giving support to terrorism is one who "with intention to further the activity of a terrorist organization, addresses a meeting for the purpose of encouraging support for the terrorist organization or to further its activities."

Not only would those raising money for the proscribed organization come under the Ordinance's scanner but also those receiving benefits from their activities.

Hence, anybody who "receives money or other property, and intends that it should be used, or has reasonable cause to suspect that it might be used, for the purposes of terrorism" will be liable to a penalty of imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years, or with fine, or with both."

AMADA threatens stir over detention of its activists

The Myth of Indian Independence in Manipur

By : Vikram Nongmaithem


“Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny” said Jawaharlal Nehru on the eve of India’s independence, and “now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge”. That was sixty years ago and Manipur was not a part of free India then. Although the Maharajah of Manipur was cornered to sign the Instrument of Accession on August 11, 1947 under which Defence, Communication and External Affairs passed within the exclusive jurisdiction of New Delhi, it was only after the signing of the Manipur Merger Agreement that Manipur became a de-jure territory of the Indian Union. Prior to the signing of this treaty on September 21, 1949 and its consequent coming into force on October 15, 1947 the Manipur State Constitution Act, 1947 (here State implies Nation-state) empowers the Maharajah in Council to administer the state thereby installing a “constitutional monarchy” on the British model. The democratic constitution was scrapped with Manipur’s merger into India. The post-merger history of India is full of twists and turns, resulting from the imposition of the Indian way of democracy in north-east India and Manipur is, now, bleeding. Perhaps, Nehru’s ‘we’ might not have included the Manipuris and ‘our’ pledge has not been redeemed so far for the last sixty years.

The hoopla surrounding Manipur’s integration into India soon resulted into a mushrooming of anti-India groups. It also brought forth politics of bad faith and internecine warfare into this land which has a history of its own spanning twenty centuries. Soon after the negation of its constitutional status from a sovereign nation-state into a Part ‘C’ state of India, Manipur had to permanently cede the Kabaw Valley to Burma due to Nehru’s strategic logic of strengthening India’s position in the Andaman and Nicobar islands. When India became a republic on January 26, 1950, with the enactment of the Constitution of India, Manipur was downgraded to a Part ‘C’ state. Subsequently, the Part ‘C’ states (Laws) were replaced by the Union Territories Act in 1956 and Manipur became a Union Territory much against the popular wish. Peasant mobilizations which were a feature of pre-merger Manipur turn into sporadic acts of violence and took the form of armed insurgency in post-merger Manipur. The birth of armed insurgent groups in Manipur was thus a direct product of New Delhi’s policy of alienating Manipur from the political centrestage of independent India. A policy of ‘divide and rule’ seemed more beneficial to the interests of the Indian political elites at the centre. As early as 1955, Z.A. Phizo of the Naga National Council had begun to wage a guerrilla war against India and guns were fired to make the deaf hear. Nehru, in order to appease the Nagas had carved out a state of Nagaland in 1962 by taking out the Naga Hills-Tuensang area out of the state of Assam but he still failed to quell the Nagas. But, in the case of Manipur, statehood remained a pipedream and it was rejected on the grounds that it was not economically viable. It thus added another psychological divide between the hill people and the valley people of north-east India. It was only nine years later that Manipur was lifted up from the status of a Union Territory into a full fledged state of the Indian union by the North-Eastern Areas (Reorganisation) Act, 1971.

The writings of British administrators and scholars show that Manipur was one of the most advanced and cultured civilizations among the peoples of the north-east India. But the denial of statehood to Manipur by the political elites of post-independent India for nine years after the statehood of Nagaland was considered an insult to the Manipuris and this naturally angered the newly educated elites of Manipur. The full blown insurgency that erupted in the valley of Manipur was partly a result of the misplaced faith that the Manipuris had on the neo-Gandhians of independent India. This is also one of the factors why Manipur has failed to produce stable governments in its post-merger political history. The political unrest and the conflict situation that resulted out of India’s incoherent policies of accommodation in north-east India created a fear psychosis among the Manipuri masses. The imposition of draconian laws like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958 led to the killing of many innocent people rather than ending insurgency. The irony of the imposition of this Act lies in the very fact that, today, there are more armed miscreants roaming freely in the streets and shooting people than it was before the imposition of this Act and this clearly shows that AFSPA has failed to counter insurgency.

Although the misuse of this Act by the security forces has been widely highlighted by many Human Rights groups, NGOs and the media, lack of a strong political will still keeps the Act in force and hence many atrocities continue under its mask. It has even created a situation where people develop a schizophrenic thinking about its repeal or its continuation. This was clearly evident in the last Assembly elections when not many people voted on the merits and demerits of the AFSPA even though they had protested against the Act in large numbers on many occasions. On the eve of the elections, not many people listened to the appeals of Sharmila, the prisoner of conscience fighting against the AFSPA, although she is now a national icon of the Manipuri people revered and respected by all. This is symptomatic of the festering wound in the political culture in Manipur. Today, many armed groups are alleged to be siding with the politicians and the nexus between them is creating a terrible situation whereby security forces have a chance to wreak havoc the innocent people. There is no peace; there is no security and there is no freedom from fear.

On Independence Day, 2007 the streets of Imphal were lined with armoured cars and security forces in uniform were frisking young people of motorbikes and cars. On Independence Day, young people were made to raise both their hands and stand in queues waiting for their turns to be frisked upon and most of them had an angry frown on their faces. I cannot guess what they might be thinking in their hearts as they were detained by the men in olive uniforms while they were standing for hours facing the blistering sun of a hot summer day to prove their innocence.

On 15 August, 2007, independent India is sixty years old and so is dependent Manipur. India boasts of a vibrant democracy, strong secularlism, strong economy and inclusive development while going “Sixty and Fullsteam”. I cannot but remember what B.R. Ambedkar said of India’s independence: “By independence we have lost the excuse of blaming the British for everything going wrong, we will have nobody to blame but ourselves”. But many Manipuris still ask who this ‘we’ is. Granville Austin wrote of the Indian Constitution, “With the adoption of the Constitution by the members of the Constituent Assembly on 26 November, 1949, India became the largest democracy in the world. By this act of strength and will, Assembly members began what was perhaps the greatest political venture since that originated in Philadelphia in 1787”. But, is the 21st century India’s Manipur the Red Indian inhabited wild, Wild West of the 18th and 19th century America?

Let Every Man Minds His Own Business

By : T. Gouzadou Zou

We are proud of our Ministers and MLAs. They are presumed to be men of mature judgement and a great spirit of responsibility. They are experienced MLAs. They have intelligent supporters to give them healthy advice. Before and during election they knew the problems of the people; and after they have become MLAs, they are expected to fulfil the promises they had made during election. Fortunately, we have not herd anyone who says, “The MLAs were not elected by us and we cannot consider them to be our representatives to work for us.”

There are times when people did not approach their MLAs for redress of their grievances and started agitations without the knowledge of the MLAs in matters of public interest, many unfortunate incidents would have been avoided. Do we not have confidence in them or are we unwilling to engage them? If MLAs do not want to work in public interest, it is necessary on the part of the public to tell them that they will be condemned by the people. There is corruption not only in FCS department but also in other departments. Crores of rupees were drawn without executing works. Do you know any contract works under the government where UGs have not demanded percent? We have to know that Ministers/MLAs are the government who solve the problems of the people. To launch any kind of agitation without their knowledge is an insult to them. We have to consult them in all matters of public interest before we start bundh, strike etc.

If any Minister/MLA fails to function efficiently and honestly, the public may condemn him for his inefficiency and they will move the government to redress their grievances. It appears that the public leaders do not want to condemn MLAs and at the same time they want to work as representatives of the people as if they were MLAs thereby putting the Ministers/MLAs in awkward position occasionally. If MLAs of other constituencies could get PDS rice directly from FCI godown, your MLA also will be able to do the same. If your MLA cannot do what other MLAs can do, you have the right to blame him because you supported him at the time of election wholeheartedly at the risk your life. His inefficiency may be made known to the public for their opinion.

If you think that our Ministers/MLAs are not up to your expectation, they will surrended before the public when you have the courage to find out the amount of money drawn under PMGSY without work, the works executed under MLA Local Area Development Fund, all fake appointments, teachers who drawn their salaries without attending schools under District Council, medicines supplied by the government but not reached district hospitals, primary health centres, primary health sub centres, doctors and nurses who are not at the places of their posting, etc. It is necessary to make them understand to what extent they have failed to serve the people of their respective constituencies. What shall we say when we have no courage to tell the truth?

Truely speaking, the tragedy is that after every election there are many persons who think that they are more capable than the elected MLAs and such people have given so much hardship to poor people. Another tragedy is that unemploy graduate and postgraduate degree holders of the society underestimate MLAs and they do not want to approach them before they move the government in any matter of public interest. If such things go on, some day both the so-called leaders and the public will fall into a pit.

Manipuri English

By: Sushitra *


I like to react to Mr. Ranjan Yumnam's article "Mend your Language." Before I give my opinion, I like to say a few things about language.

The function of a language is to communicate with the rest of the world. One should avoid and correct those sounds that are unintelligible to the hearer because the hearer should be able to understand the message you are conveying.

There is nothing as such that one language or an accent is more expressive and beautiful than the other. Language is something very organic. It grows and dies of its own, just as any living organism. In other words, I would say survival of the fittest.

In linguistics, fittest would mean the language that would bring economic progress. Economy has a great impact on language. Any language that would hinder economic progress will die, e.g., Sri Lankan Malay, which is going to die after a few decades.

Languages change from time to time, over the centuries. If you take a look at an Old English text, you would not understand a single word because Old English was one of the Germanic languages. Now, we can hardly see any features of a Germanic language in Present Day English.

English had a very different grammar, morphology, phonology, and vocabularies. In the course of time, it has lost almost all its inflections, and the meanings of many vocabularies have changed.

For example, the spelling of the Present Day English word king was cyning, and it was pronounced as kuning. Forget about the Old English, if you read Victorian literature written by Jane Austen, which are just one and a half century old, you will find several adjectives, which we do not use anymore. For example, the word gay once meant nice, but now it means homo.

Languages around the world, including the languages spoken in the jungle of Amazon and the languages of the Inuit, are as expressive as any modern languages, such as English, French or German.

However, these languages of the Amazon and Inuit may not have certain vocabularies, such as computer or any electronic gadgets because they do not need these words. Words do not exist if they are not needed. For instance, the word racism did not exist in the English Dictionary until Hitler's Nazi Germany.

5-6 centuries ago there was no Standard English as such. When they started Satandarization, they did not have enough vocabularies; therefore they coined several words, and borrowed from other languages.

The Standard English spoken in the United Kingdom is called RP (Received Pronunciation) or BBC English or Queen's English. RP is spoken by less than 3% of the entire population of the United Kingdom, and the rest speak dialects. RP became the Standard English because it was spoken by a few elites in London, but not because it was the most beautiful English dialect.

Similarly, le français standard (Parisian French) became the Standard French because it was spoken by a few elites in Paris, who had political power. These Standard languages were once dialects, just as other dialects of English and French at present.

If these standard languages were not spoken by elites or economically advanced people, they would have never become the Standard languages. In that case, some other dialects, such as Liverpool English or Patois of Vendée would have probably become the Standard English and Standard French. This shows how politics and economy play games with language. Everything revolves around economy.

Most Manipuris speak both English and Hindi with Manipuri accent, and nothing is wrong with that. Non-Manipuris must be laughing at our accent, because we are economically disadvantaged group, and we are minority group.

However, do not forget that we can laugh at their accent, too. They, too, speak English with their native language accent. Speaking English very well does not mean that you have to speak like a British or an American because we can never speak like a native tongue, and we do not have to speak like them.

There is no original English as such. As I have already explained how English language has transformed in the course of time; it is constantly changing like any other languages. So, originality does not exist.

Today English is a global language, and there are varieties of Englishes around the world that have emerged after the Colonial Era, and these Englishes are known as Postcolonial Englishes. Mr. Ranjan says to Manipuris brush your language which means Manipuris need to speak like other non-Manipuris or, in other words Mayang English.

Well, let me use the International term "Indian English." Indian English is one of the Postcolonial Englishes, just as South African English, Nigerian English, Singlish (the English spoken in Singapore), Hongkong English, Tanzanian English, etc.

These Englishes have different syntactic systems from American and British English, and many native vocabularies have penetrated into these Englishes. There are countless varieties of Englishes around the world, so why can't Manipuri English be one of the varieties?

Talking about Indian English, there are again several varieties within Indian English itself. Listen to a Bengali, Punjabi, and a South Indian speaking English; you will hear enormous difference in their phonology. Now, tell me who is speaking the Standard English?

Manipuris speak English with Typical Manipuri accent, therefore many articulate and smart Manipuris suffer from the syndrome of tongue tightness outside Manipur, as Mr. Ranjan puts it. I do not understand who these smart and articulate Manipuris are.

If you are a smart and articulate person, you will fit anywhere in the world. Probably, Mr. Ranjan is talking about those Manipuris, who have fake degrees and diplomas, or who got their degrees from Manipur University by using unfair means. Then, Mr. Ranjan has used here wrong adjectives.

I have known many Manipuris, who have successful carrier in different parts of India and abroad, but I have never come across any smart and articulate Manipuris, whose tongues are tight during job interviews.

He mentions, "Most of the times your problems have their origins from your flat nose." I must say: give me a break. What an ignorant conclusion he has made! As I have already mentioned that politics and economy have great impact on language.

Look at Standard American English GA (General American) which was once regarded as vulgar and harsh has become more popular than the British English because of the American economy. Europeans are now learning Chinese because of the growing Chinese economy. This has nothing to do with our outlook and personality.

Coming back to Indian English (Mayang English). Indian English is not an International English either. When an Indian goes to the USA or Europe, Whites make fun of Indian English because Indians speak English with Indian accent.

Why don't the Whites make fun of a German or a French speaking English with a strong German and French accent? Simply because Germans and French are white Europeans; and they are economically more advance than the Indians.

Another reason of Manipuris finding it difficult to speak another language is the integration problem. Manipuris always have their own groups, and they do not like integration to other culture. This makes them docile and afraid when a long nose and big eyes approaches them.

I want to say to Manipuris: change your attitude, and integrate to the culture wherever you live. Do not look upon the Indian English, and do not try to speak like them because their English is not an International English either. Correct your unintelligible sounds, and try to speak International English.

I also like to react on e-pao chat-room. E-pao website has provided us a platform for discussion and debate. Some prefer to discuss something productive, and some prefer nonsense. This is an individual choice, and e-pao team is not BIG BROTHER. So, it is better to mind your own business.

Last but not the least; let's focus on political agenda and the attitude of Manipuris, but not on our personality and accent.

Education beyond Text Book and Examination Oriented System - A need for today's Manipur society -

By: Pheiroijam Romikanta Singh *


"In the past five years in particular following the opening up of the Indian economy and technological sea-change, there's been growing awareness among school and college managements that examination success does not necessarily translate into workplace success.

It requires something more than mugging up textbooks to be a successful doctor, engineer, architect, teacher, manager or entrepreneur.

And that vital missing link in the education process is the acquisition of life skills - capabilities which prepare children to cope with life's diverse challenges.

These skills which need to be nurtured help children tackle failure, relationships, sexuality, exam fears, rejection, peer pressure, and stress - problems which can severely affect their lives," says Syed Sultan Ahmed, founder managing director of The Activity, a Bangalore-based division of S.S. Edutainment Pvt Ltd.

Corporate honchos such as Reliance Industries founder the late Dhirubhai Ambani, Virgin Atlantic boss Richard Branson, steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal, who were academic drifters but well equipped in life skills have shown a live example of how important these skills are for professional and personal success.

Further, The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Paris-based trans-national organisation committed to children's rights, survival, development and protection, has decreed life skills an integral component of quality education.

At UNICEF's suggestion all 164 nations which signed the United Nations Millennium Development Goal charter of Education for All by 2015 have included 'life skills' as a basic learning need for all children and youth.

Defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as "abilities for positive and adaptive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and changes of everyday life", life skills such as problem solving, decision making, good manners, communication and interpersonal skills, are highly valued in the International job market.

Somewhat belatedly educationists, especially in urban schools across the subcontinent, have become acutely aware that teaching life/ soft skills to students is as important as developing academic capability for professional and personal success.

Many schools in the metros and big cities of India have incorporated these skills development training in secondary education to make the student ahead of others in the job market.

The Corporate world prefers candidates who are not only strong academically but also with soft skills like problem solving, decision making, good manners, communication and interpersonal skills because it saves the industry time and huge money as these qualities are required and must be sent for training again if they do not come with these qualities.

Problems of incorporating life skills training in Manipur Schools:

The reputation of a school in Manipur is defined purely by the result in the X and XII Examination and it's a fact that every school wants to be rated among the top slots.

In the race of the top slot many schools ignore the very essence of other elements than Examination result.

The survival of a school depends on the strength of the students and the reputation of a school can be to some extent related with the presence and willingness by the academically bright students to be admitted in the school.

In Manipur emphasizing Life skills training in the school may be considered not only counter-productive but also posing threat to the quality and quantity of the students in the school because most parents are not fully aware of the practical utility of Life Skills and moreover it is still the Examination result, which most parents in their own wisdom feel, will decide the success of their wards.

Conclusion:

Manipur education system, despite the fact that it gives so much priority in making the students academically sound with classes on Sundays, holidays and parents sending their wards upto four or five tuitions per day, yet we do not find many of these academically sound students in large numbers doing professionally well compared to students from many other states in India.

School authority and parents should realise the importance of these soft skills if our students are to join the band-wagon of more and more competitive international job market.

Much of what is taught in schools today is not applicable in real life situation. Children need to be taught more real-life skill sets.

Life skills training should start in school during the formative years so as to ensure that our children leave school better equipped for life and they are able to compete globally with success.

Before there was Elvis, there was nothing

By Mira Oberman [ Tue Aug 14, 12:14 PM ET ]


MEMPHIS, United States (AFP) - A poor Southern white boy who brought black music into the mainstream, Elvis Presley made rock 'n' roll the international language of pop.

He was not the first to blend country with blues, but Elvis was the one to smash through the social conservatism and segregation of the 1950's and get white kids to shake their hips.

He changed the way people thought about music and made an indelible mark on American culture.

"Ask anyone. If it hadn't been for Elvis, I don't know where popular music would be," Elton John once said.

"He was the one that started it all off, and he was definitely the start of it for me."

While he may have been eclipsed by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones as the rebel turned into a square with his rhinestone-studded jumpsuits, Elvis continues to shape popular music three decades after his death.

"People are influenced by him whether they know it or not," James Henke, chief curator at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, said in an interview.

"He defined what it meant to be a rock star."

Before the pot belly and the sweat-stained silk scarves, before the pills, he was "Elvis the Pelvis."

He was sexy. He was dangerous. But he was still, as Ed Sullivan said, "a real decent, fine boy."

The combination of virulent sexuality, boy-next-door good manners, incredible stage presence and an ambitious manager propelled Elvis into television specials, films, blockbuster concerts and merchandising.

"You can thank or blame Elvis for the fact that a musical artist has to be this full performer and a carefully tended musical and social persona," said Jeff Melnick, a professor at Babson College and the editor of the Journal of Popular Music Studies.

"Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna... these folks all took in the notion that you create a brand where they buy the music and the movie and the t-shirts," he told AFP.

Elvis remains the best-selling solo artist of all time with over a billion records sold worldwide and continues to generate around 50 million dollars a year.

He was prolific, and his music was diverse. While his rich voice is unmistakable, there is no prototypical Elvis sound. His 23-year career spanned rockabilly, gospel, ballads, country, folk and even jazz.

Satellite radio station Sirius has an entire channel devoted to playing the 150 albums and singles that have been certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

But while he may have influenced generations of musicians, his iconic status does not carry the same kind of contemporary popularity as the Beatles or the Doors, whose songs get more airplay on traditional radio.

Elvis might have been the originator of cool, but he became far too mainstream in his later years to compete with the counter-culture revolutionaries of the late 1960's and 1970's who continue to enthrall generations of rebellious teenagers.

"Part of it is that there was the whole fat Las Vegas period and the bad movies," said Henke of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

"But I don't think you can underestimate how powerful his music has been."

While Elvis scored a huge hit a few years back with a remix of "A Little Less Conversation" that was used in Nike's multimillion dollar World Cup advertising campaign, his estate has been reluctant to allow his music to be reworked.

"This is classic music, we don't want to get too trigger happy with it," said Jack Soden, chief executive officer of Elvis Presley Enterprises.

An aggressive global marketing campaign is underway to mark the 30th anniversary of his death on Thursday and expectations are high for sales of newly reissued CD box sets, "deluxe edition" DVD releases of Elvis films.

"A lot has been written and said about why he was so great, but I think the best way to appreciate his greatness is just to go back and play some of the old records," Huey Lewis once said.

"Time has a way of being very unkind to old records, but Elvis' keep getting better and better."

Long live Elvis Presley

By Reagan Gavin Rasquinha,TNN


It’s Elvis Presley’s 30th death anniversary today, but fans keep his legend rockin-n-rollin...

Elvis Aaron Presley certainly isn’t going to be lonesome tonight. The hound dog whose famous baritone has been immortalised in vinyl, film and disc will be remembered by legions of his fans who couldn’t help falling in love with The Voice.

Today, it’s 30 years since the King passed on, claimed by his love for excess. But that kindly light that shone throughout his unbelievable career still shines on. BT asked some of the city’s diehard Elvis fans about how they remember their hero on this day...

Singer Gary Lawyer takes being an Elvis fan to a whole new level of devotion. He once acted Elvis in a play and even had tickets to the last Presley concert.

I used to work in the Bronx in the States, when he passed away. That was a dark day. I always remember how versatile he was. I divide his career into three parts — the early rock and roll which made him into what he was; the second being his movies which had some memorable songs; and the third in Las Vegas with the big band sound. He’s come out with beautiful songs.

I think Heartbreak Hotel is a great song as it typifies Presley, so is Blue Suede Shoes. And a song that moves me immensely every time I hear it is American Trilogy. I remember him very much from the heart and soul.”

Drummer Gino Banks, son of jazz maestro Louis Banks, says, “From a drummer’s point of view, a lot of Elvis songs are fun to play. They are so good and simple yet the melody’s so great that you don’t even need it to be complex. You end up enjoying playing it.

Elvis did a lot of cover versions of songs and did it his way, which totally transformed a song. Jailhouse Rock is a sureshot groove-oriented hit wherever it’s played but Suspicious Minds is my favourite drum track of his.”
Elvis’s contemporary reach is not lost on most popular tunesmiths today. Says Ehsaan Noorani, who remembers the young Elvis before his manager Col Tom Parker mired his star in a sea of mediocre movies, “I remember him by the faster rock n roll numbers as opposed to the love songs.

It’s all about Blue Suede Shoes when it comes to remembering him!”

‘Music is universal’ — heard that one before? Amaan Ali Khan’s best known for the joyous refrains of his sarod. But he too was willing victim to the King’s charm. “I’ve heard a lot of songs of his. And I have been to Nashville and have always made it a point to visit Graceland.

I have seen his cars, his guitars and his wardrobe. At one point of time I wanted to look like him, and dress like him. He was the complete star who had everything going for him. Even to date, Elvis remains the King. I like his persona and showmanship.”

And who can forget Elvis’s initial charm — the Jailhouse Rocker with the curled lip and shimmy-shake who fired up a million imaginations. 2blue, vocalist of the popular rock band Vayu, affirms, “Elvis is the man! I’ve seen videos where you have this guy wiping his perspiration off on a handkerchief and offering it to these women crying out of happiness in the front seats of his Vegas shows. Anyone who can do THAT is indeed the King! Presley’s songs aren’t alien to rock bands either.

Who can forget Motley Crue’s scorching version of Jailhouse Rock?”

But no one would probably remember the King on this day better than India’s own answer to Elvis — 67-year-old Merwyn Rufus.

The man who’s won Elvis impersonation concerts galore says he’s just going to “have a get-together with friends over an evening of Elvis songs” as there are a “lot of Elvis fans in Bandra”. On this day, he prays for his hero. From Bandra right across the bay and to borders beyond, indeed, the legend lives on!
