A Cabinet meeting held today prior to the chief minister’s visit to the national capital discussed the ground rules of the SoO as well as the “tripartite talks” with the Kuki militant groups, the state government and Central government as participants.

The Cabinet also decided to launch a new scheme called ‘State Merit Scholarship Scheme’ in which Rs. 1000 would be given to 300 students for three years in order of merit from first position holders in the XII class examination commencing from this current year.

The chief minister who is leaving Imphal tomorrow for New Delhi will hold talks with the Union home minister and top officials of the MHA and discuss the ground rules for SoO again.

Mention may be made that the SoO is currently in force between the Central security forces and some Kuki militants under UPF and KNO.

After the chief minister’s meeting with the Union home minister, another round of official level meeting between the officials of the state government and MHA will be held, the source said.

Mention may be made that the state Cabinet in one of the meetings on February 2 this year approved the revised ground rules for suspension of operation, SoO and later conveyed it to the MHA on April 4.

Regarding KNO’s stand, the MHA joint secretary, north east also held talks with the state chief secretary.

In this regard, the first meeting chaired by the representatives of the Union ministry of home affairs was held in a hotel at New Delhi in which the state principal secretary (home) and inspector general of police (intelligence) attended from the Manipur government side.

On the same day, separate meetings were held with the representatives of KNO and United People’s Front, an apex body of some Kuki militants which are maintaining SoO with the Central security forces in the state.

In that meetings, the ground rules of suspension of operation approved by the state Cabinet were given to KNO and UPF representatives.

Another round of meeting is scheduled to be held within the next few days chaired by a Manipur government’s representative and to be attended by the representatives of KNO, UPF and MHA officials. The comment of the KNO and UPF on the revised ground rules are likely to be taken here.

The next round of meeting as informed by the joint secretary, NE, MHA to the state government will be hosted by the MHA and will be chaired by a representative of the Manipur government

Mention may be made the ASTUM imposed economic blockade in regard to their demand is due to end by 6 am tomorrow (May 17).

Regarding their demand. representatives of the ASTUM held a meeting with the chief minister today. Further talks will be held tomorrow before the chief minister leaves Imphal, a source said.

16 killed in Dimapur factional bloodbath; NSCN(IM)’s ceasefire cell stoned, houses burnt, situation voilatile, Congress calls Nagaland bandh

By : A Staff Reporter

Dimapur, May 16: In continued factional violence, 16 people including 14 from the NSCN-Unification and two civilians were killed while three others, all civilians, were injured in three separate factional incidents in Dimapur on Friday.

In the first incident, 14 NSCN-Unification cadres were killed after being ambushed by rival NSCN(IM) cadres at Seithekima-C village near Patkai College at around 6 am on Friday. The incident occurred when the NSCN-Unification cadres were returning after executing an attack on the rival cadres. Thirteen cadres died on the spot while another, who was seriously injured in the clash, succumbed to injuries later.

In the second incident, two civilians died while two others, also civilians, were injured in a firing incident in front of the NSCN(IM)'s Ceasefire Monitoring Cell at 4th Mile area in Dimapur.

Earlier in the day, at around 12.30 pm, a large number of people congregated at Dimapur's Diphupar police station when the bodies of the 12 NSCN-Unification cadres were brought there. The people shouted slogans in protest against the killings while another group of people gheraoed the NSCN(IM)'s Ceasefire Monitoring Cell. The crowd soon became agitated and started pelting stones at the cell, followed by setting fire to it.

Some petrol bombs were also lobbed at the NSCN(IM)'s cell as a result of which a thatched structure on the rooftop of the two-storey cell caught fire. A youth was also seen climbing up the cell along with a pistol and firing shots at those holed up inside. However, it could not be ascertained whether he was from any faction or a civilian.

Around 20 IRB personnel, who reached the spot, were intercepted by the public, mostly women.

While all this was going on, shots were fired intermittently by NSCN(IM) cadres who were holed up inside the Ceasefire Monitoring Cell. The violence continued for nearly two hours. At around 2.45 pm, some armed NSCN (IM) cadres arrived at the scene and fired indiscriminately in which the two civilians were killed and two others, both civilians, injured. Later, some from the NSCN-Unification cadres also arrived at the scene that led to a gun battle which continued till 5 pm.

Meanwhile, the irate mob burnt down three houses in the vicinity. The houses were that of two NSCN(IM) functionaries and a civilian, all from the Tangkhul tribe.

In the evening, another group of people set fire to two houses at Wungram Colony, followed by an exchange of fire between the two factions in the area. A civilian was injured in the crossfire here.

The district administration has clamped Section 144 Cr.PC in and around Dimapur till Chumukedia area until further orders. The siruation is extremely volatile in the town.

Meanwhile, peeved over the rising violent cases in Nagaland and the unusual inflation of essential commodities, the Nagaland Congress has called for a 12-hour dawn to dusk Dimapur bandh on May 19.

Addressing a press conference, Congress Legislature Party (CLP), Leader, I. Imkong revealed that the decision was taken in today’s CLP meeting held at his official residence at Kohima to discuss on the reports submitted by the Committees on price rise and law & order problem.

Expressing grief over the killing of more than 14 persons, including a civilian woman in today’s factional at Dimapur, Imkong viewed the situation as nothing short of anarchy as the administration has totally failed to defuse the situation.

He also expressed surprise at the State Government’s inability to control the deteriorating law and order situation inspire of appeals from the Congress Party to wake and take actions as per the directions of the Central Government. He also revealed that the Centre has already give Standard Operation Procedures (SOP) to the Government to act to control such situation.

On State Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio’s statement that factional clashes are political in nature, the Congress Leader questioned how could clashes be termed a political issue when the civilians are involved and their lives and properties in danger.

The Congress was apprehensive of a civil war in the State unless the prevailing situation is arrested immediately.

Dwelling on the inflation of essential commodities, Imkong expressed surprise over the difference of prices in neighbouring State of Assam and Nagaland. He pointed that prices in Nagaland is almost 90% higher than that in Assam.

He also revealed that the CLP had called on the State Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio and also submitted a memorandum to the Governor, K. Sankaranarayanan this evening on the two issues.

MLA Deo Nukhu expressed surprise that Rio Government even after saying that peace talks are moving in the right direction has started blaming the Centre for the law and order situation in the State. “We are for unity and peace of Nagas and don’t want any killing among the Nagas,” he added.

Veteran Congress leader, H. Chuba Chang stated that the Government was not sincere to help the public by taking stock of the situation because of which the public are coming out to defend themselves.

Meanwhile, the CLP through the memorandum submitted to the Governor expressed that the State Government is neglecting and ignoring the duties and obligations to be undertaken in the areas of inflation and law and order problem.

The CLP was skeptical about the luke warm attitude of the Government headed by Neiphiu Rio and blamed him for the deteriorating law and order situation and exorbitant price rise.

“We are inclined to believe that Rio’s Government is directly or indirectly patronizing some factions of Underground to escalate the situation which is endangering and jeopardizing the innocent lives of the public,” the memo said, adding that with so many forces under his (Rio’s) command it is his bounden responsibility to protect the lives of the innocent.

The memo of remarked that under the situation in turmoil, people of Nagaland have lost the confidence in the administration of Rio’s Government while also expressing strong conviction that if this (DAN) Government is allowed to continue further there will be further deterioration of the entire situation which will turn into a state of anarchy.

Therefore, the Congress appealed that the Governor should ask Government of India to step in to save the State and its people. “The total constitution break down must be controlled and saved at all cost,” the CLP memorandum added.

Believe it or not! It's true - Nareepol Tree in Thailand

Hey this is a fruit in human shape.Unbelievable just have a look

This is amazing tree named "Nareepol" in Thai. Naree means "girl/woman" and pol means plant/tree or "buah" in Malay. It means women tree. It is amazing what God create the World in many forms that amused human beings….You can see the real tree at Petchaboon province about almost 500 kms away from Bangkok.

Commentary:

According to this fanciful message, which is making the rounds of the Internet via email, blogs and forums, the accompanying photographs depict an amazing tree in Thailand that grows fruit in human shape. The images show what appears to be small, perfectly formed figures of women "growing" from amid the leaves of the tree.

Many people apparently believe that the Nareepol Tree and its improbable fruit really exists and, although they have never seen it "in the flesh" (so to speak), some have even come to regard it as a sacred object. However, the Nareepol Tree is almost certainly nothing more than a hoax. If such an amazing phenomenon was real, the tree would undoubtedly be quite famous and there would be many media reports published about it all around the world. The scientific community and religious groups would also have examined the tree and published their findings. Instead, the only information about the alleged Nareepol Tree is in versions of the above message.

Moreover, the three photographs above appear to be the only images of the tree available. Given the self-publishing power provided by the Internet, if the tree was real, there would surely be myriad photographs of the tree available on many different blogs, travel websites and photo sharing websites.

According to the message, the Nareepol Tree is located in the Petchaboon province. So, if the tree and its fruit really existed, it would likely be a major tourist attraction for the region and promoted as such. However, the tree is not listed as an attraction on any credible travel related websites for the Petchaboon province.

Thus, it seems very probable that some unknown prankster has created the hoax by cleverly attaching a few man-made figurines to an ordinary tree's branches and then taking some photographs to document his "creation". The junction where each "fruit" joins the branch is conveniently obscured by leaves, perhaps to hide the wire or twine that holds it aloft. And, the figures look too uniform to be natural. Except for the positioning of the arms, each piece of "fruit" is virtually identical in size and colour. Real fruit is likely to vary considerably in size, hue and quality, even when growing on the same tree.

The description of the Nareepol Tree and the photographs of its "fruit" are amusing and the message is basically harmless so long as recipients do not take its claims seriously.

Student shot at, campus erupts - VC leads protest in Manipur University

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Teachers and students of Manipur University at the demonstration in Imphal on Thursday. Picture by Eastern Projections Imphal, May 15: Manipur University vice-chancellor C. Amuba Singh led a demonstration of teachers and students on the campus today after a police commando shot at and wounded a student in Imphal East district last night.

Thonkchom Ranjit, a student of chemistry at the university, was on a motorcycle through Kongba Lairenpat with a friend, Y. Lamyanba, riding pillion when they were stopped near a bus stop for frisking.

While the two were being frisked, one of the police commandos shot at Ranjit from his regulation AK-series. Police, however, denied foul play.

“The firing was accidental and the policeman had no intention of injuring the student. The police team rushed him to the hospital. He is at present out of danger. A probe is under way to ascertain how the shot was fired,” a police officer said.

The superintendent of police, Imphal East, Th. Radhesyham Singh, said a case had been registered against the commando and he would not be spared if found guilty.

The police, however, did not disclose his name.

The 24-year-old, who was hit in his right knee, is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Imphal. His condition is, however, stable.

Condemning the incident, Amuba Singh said: “Targeting a student and misuse of a service weapon by police personnel is very unfortunate.”

Students demanding action against the police party assembled at the demonstration site with placards reading: “We demand justice” and “Commandos should not violate students’ rights”.

The protest today affected work on campus.

“The student is lucky enough to have survived. What if he would have died? We will not remain silent until the police team involved in the case is punished in two days,” the president of the Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur, Ashirjit Luwang, said.

Ranjit is a resident of Khurai in Imphal East district.

“Ranjit is a disciplined and a good student. I don’t think he did anything wrong. I have urged the SP to take action against the policeman involved in the incident,” Amuba Singh said.

Cabinet approves ADC delimitation commission, raising of commando Bn

By : A Staff Reporter

IMPHAL, May 14: The state Cabinet today approved the constitution of a state delimitation commission for reconstitution of the constituencies of the Autonomous (Hill Areas) District Councils and raising of a 8th IRB battalion as commando battalion during discussions.

The Cabinet also approved rehabilitation works of the Thoubal dam affected people, a proposal of the IFCD department and also framing of rules under the Manipur Loktak (Protection) Act 2006 for effective implementation of Loktak development programme.

The election to the ADC will be held under the state election commission after completion of the delimitation exercise for redrawing of the ADC constituencies extending over six hill districts.

The Cabinet also agreed to appoint retired IAS officer, Ch Birendra Singh as commissioner of the newly formed state delimitation commission, a source said.

The deputy commissioners of the six districts will be the ex-officio members of the commission which targets to complete the delimitation of ADC constituencies within 45 days counting from the commencement of the exercise.

There are 24 constituencies in the each of the six hill districts. The election schedule will be fixed after the completion of the delimitation exercise.

The state Cabinet convened by the chief minister O Ibobi Singh today also approved a proposal of the state home department for the raising of the 8th IRB as a commando battalion.

Mention may be made that the Union ministry of home affairs had sanctioned the raising of the 8th IRB battalion in the state during the month of April this year.

This is the second effort of the state government to convert a IRB battalion into a commando battalion. The earlier proposal of raising the 7th IRB into a commando battalion was rejected by the MHA.

While raising the 8th IRB as a commando battalion, the state will incur Rs.11.55 crores per year above the funds to be given by the Centre in raising the battalion.

For raising the battalion, the state government will recruit 107 personnel including officers, the source added.

The Cabinet also discussed the progress of the payment of compensation and rehabilitation programme taken up by the IFCD department for affected people of Thoubal dam.

The payment of compensation is already completed, the report of the IFCD department tabled at the Cabinet meeting reportedly stated.

After a thorough discussion, the Cabinet approved construction of RCC buildings instead of wooden houses for the affected people. According to an earlier rehabilitation programme, it was decided to construct only wooden houses for them.

As per the agreed rehabilitation programme, each affected household will be provided with a three-room RRC building. The houses of the village chiefs, however, would have four rooms each.

Union minister opens new Paying Ward at RIMS; 50 seats to be increased for MBBS; many upgrades promised

By : A Staff Reporter

IMPHAL, May 14: "I don't believe the underground will disturb the development of health care centres," said Union minister for health and family welfare Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss on Wednesday while promising to bring up the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, RIMS to be one of the best among the health care centres in the country.

The Union minister while giving his speech at the inauguration of the Paying Ward of the RIMS today also announced free of cost treatment facilities for the people living below poverty line, BPL and other poor people under the initiative of his ministry.

Dr. Ramadoss laid the foundation stones of a new OPD block, dental college and nursing college of RIMS with a sanctioned amount of Rs. 129 crores.

He said that in the next two years, people of the state would witness RIMS as one of the best health care centres of the country.

The announcements he made include increase in the intake of MBBS course students from the current enrolment strength of 100 to 150 for the next academic session, coming up of a 100 bedded cancer treatment centre within three to four months, resumption of CT Scan service which remain defunct due to non-functioning machines and nursing institute etc.

Immediate sanction of Rs. 19 crores for immediate relief from the water shortage problems faced by the institute was also announced by the minister.

While promising developmental package works of the institute, the Union minister said that he didn't believe that while taking up all this work the underground elements would cause any disturbance.

Dr. Anbumani in his speech promised to develop and upgrade the RIMS and make it one of the best institutes of the country.

Despite having many super-specialists in the institute and manpower, there was lack of infrastructure compared with other health centres of the country, he said.

He also observed that just constructing new buildings without any specialists would be of no use while also stating that there were many qualified faculties presently in the institute.

He thanked all the doctors, nurses and staffs of the institute for their commitment and passion shown in their duties.

Talking on the health condition of the people of the state, he explored the need for the state government to take up certain measures to control consumption of tobacco and alcohol by the people of the state, while stating that the north east people were the highest consumers of tobacco and alcohol in the country.

Therefore, the state government should look into the matter seriously and take steps to fight tobacco and alcohol intake, he insisted.

The Union minister along with the state chief minister O Ibobi, state health minister Ph Parijat and officials of the RIMS inspected the condition of RIMS and later attended a function which was held at the Jubilee Hall of RIMS.

The function was attended by Anita Das, secretary of AYUSH, Dr. RK Shrivastava, DGHS, G.C Chakraboty, mission director, NRHM and additional secretary and BK Prasad, joint secretary (NE), all from the Union ministry of health and family welfare.

Earlier, the RIMS director Dr. L Fimate in his welcome address highlighted the status and aspirations of the institute and drew the attention of the Union minister for support in attaining excellence in all aspects of health care in the north eastern region.

"RIMS being conveniently situated on the route of the Trans Asian Highway, under the government's Look East Policy, could be quite appropriately developed as a centre of excellence for making it a hub of health tourism," he said.

He maintained that the north eastern region of India was one of the most complex regions in the country in terms of its diverse culture, language, ethnicity, accessibility and underdeveloped infrastructure. The states in the region lacked adequate financial resources to invest in the public health sector, he said.

Despite the various constraints in the region, the RIMS had been endeavoring to contribute richly in the field of health care in the region by way of imparting medical education, both undergraduate and post graduate courses, in all important branches of medical specialties, he said.

Talking on the features of the institute, he said the institute had produced more than 2000 doctors and more than 500 specialists in the north eastern region.

Sprawling over an area of 3000 acres of land, the institute and its hospital normally provides services to more than 2.5 lakh outdoor patients and admits over 30,000 patients in a year. There are 17 clinical departments including six super-specialty units managing all types of disease conditions with support from pre and para-clinical departments. The regional cancer centre of Manipur is also established at the institute, he said adding that it had been managing to fulfill the statutory norms of the Medical Council of India.

The state chief minister O Ibobi Singh, who presided over the function, said that the RIMS was the only medical institute which had been producing qualified doctors and faculties in the entire north eastern region.

He also appealed to the Central government to upgrade and provide sufficient facilities, empowerment for RIMS and also improvements in the power and water system of the institute.

The state health and family welfare minister, Ph Parijat said that since the RIMS had been taken over by the Centre various improvements had been witnessed. However, he drew the Centre’s attention towards the improvement of buildings and equipment suited with the times.

1. Times Square, New York City, NY:
35 million
An estimated 80 percent of the Big Apple’s 44 million visitors head for Broadway (including the considerable theater crowds) and end up gawking at the world’s most garish neon crossroads. Plugging numbers into the equation, we get an estimated total of 35,200,000 per year.

About 25 million
The nation’s premier national park and its monuments and memorials attract more visitors than such vast national parks as the Great Smoky Mountains, Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Yellowstone -- combined. The nearby Smithsonian museums of Natural History and Air & Space welcome more than about 5 million visitors apiece.

Florida’s most popular attraction opened on October 1, 1971—16 years after the birth of its older sister, Disneyland, in Anaheim, Calif. Disney doesn’t release attendance figures for its parks, however the TEA/ERA Theme Park Attendance Report confirms that the Magic Kingdom is the most popular of its Florida attractions, followed by Epcot, Disney MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom. A cumulative figure (ie. total number of people who visited the Disney World theme parks) would likely not alter the Mouse’s ranking.

Lord Nelson and the British Navy defeated a combined French and Spanish force in 1805, and a grateful country built a splendid public square to commemorate the occasion. Now a popular spot for demonstrations, concerts and New Year's Eve celebrations, Trafalgar Square feeds popular attractions like the National Gallery. Note: This is an estimated figure from the Greater London Authority extrapolated from pedestrian counts. (There are no equivalent estimates for similar locations as Beijing's Tiananmen and Moscow's Red Square. However, the tourism industry is not yet as developed in either China or Russia as in the West.)

ADC ordinance promulgated after Governor’s assent

By : A Staff Reporter

IMPHAL, May 13: The Manipur (Hill Areas) District Councils (third amendment) Ordinance has been promulgated in the state after finally getting the assent of the Governor.

With the promulgation of the ordinance, the state government has started preparations for elections to the ADC. A Cabinet meeting scheduled for tomorrow will discuss the finalization of the schedule for elections to the district council, an official source said Tuesday.

Apart from discussing the election schedule of the ADC, the Cabinet will also discuss the delimitation of the constituencies of the district council.

Other agendas to be discussed include raising of the 8th IRB sanctioned by the Union ministry of home affairs as a commando battalion and to review the issues lying ahead in the construction process of the Thoubal multipurpose project.

The draft ordinance got the assent of the state Governor yesterday, the source said.

Mention may be made that after a draft bill on the amendment of the Manipur (Hill Areas) District Councils Act 1971 could not be passed by the Manipur legislative Assembly in its last session.

Afterwards, the state government in a move to pave the path for conduct of elections to the district councils which were held up for the last around two decades, decided to promulgate an ordinance.

A Cabinet meeting during April this month approved the draft ordinance prepared by the state law department but the Governor returned it seeking some modifications in the draft ordinance.

Later, the last Cabinet meeting held on May 8 once again discussed the redrafted ordinance and approved the same and put it up for the Governor’s assent again.

In can be recalled that the Manipur (Hill Areas) District Council Act, 1971 was enacted in the state for establishment of district councils in the hill areas by the Parliament when Manipur was a Union Territory.

In 1975, the same Act was amended to suit the times and afterwards the Manipur legislative Assembly enacted the Manipur (Hill Areas) Autonomous District Councils Act, 2000 which provided for repeal of the Manipur (Hill Areas) District Councils Act, 1971.

But the Act was not brought into force due to the demands for enforcement of the Sixth Schedule in the hill areas of the state.

The Manipur legislative Assembly enacted the Manipur (Hill Areas) District Councils (second amendment) Act, 2006 which repealed the Manipur Hill Areas Autonomous District Councils Act, 2000.

Later, the Manipur Hill Areas Autonomous District Councils Bill, 2008 was introduced in the state Assembly to repeal the Manipur Hill Areas Autonomous District Councils Act, 2000. But it was later withdrawn.

The state government considering the need for enforcement of the Manipur (Hill Areas) District Councils Act, 1971 with necessary amendments and to expedite the establishment of the district councils in the hill areas of the state decided to promulgate an ordinance as the Assembly was not in session.

Satisfied with the circumstances which rendered necessary the taking of immediate action for constitution of the district councils, the Governor used his power given under the related clause of the Indian Constitution promulgated the ordinance, the source said.

The scheduled Cabinet meeting will also discuss issues concerning the Thoubal multipurpose project with special reference to the action taken report of the administrative department with regard to the rehabilitation resettlement plan for affected villages.

A Cabinet meeting held on May 6 last had advised the concerned department, the IFCD, to make an appeal to the affected villages for the immediate review of the rehabilitation resettlement plan for affected villages under the Thoubal multipurpose project.

The department was also asked to resume the works with full security in consultation with the state DGP immediately before the rainy season.

Problem of hill areas: With special reference to the Kukis

By George T. Haokip

Introduction

Manipur which is known as ‘Jewel of India’ is a tiny state situated in the North Eastern part of India. It has a total area of 22,327 sq. kms. of which the valley or plain area covers 8% and hill areas 92%. This hill area is occupied by the tribal people who are grouped into the Kuki-Chin and Naga. Govt. of India recognises 33 ethnic groups as schedule tribe. There are five hill districts in the State - Senapati, Churachandpur, Chandel, Tamenglong and Ukhrul.

Tribal Land System

The tribal people occupied hill areas since time immemorial and it is their most important heritage. God has created human being and given places of habitation. Their land is their identity (T. Lunkim, Tribal Land Heritage, N.E. Context). It is their basic foundation from which emerged their culture and economic tradition. They have adopted different political system in their land. Kuki-Chin have autocratic form of governance with the chiefs having control over the land. In the case of Nagas, their political system is essentially democratic with the whole village community participating in the decision making.

In the traditional tribal society, the chiefs enjoy political autonomy and rule independently. They had the land to rule and were fighting to protect it. The Kuki Inpi (Kuki Govt) had to wage several wars to protect and defend their territory against invaders since 1700.

Although there is no pattern of land law, yet the tribal people have their own system of land ownership and land holding. Their land use system and demarcation of village boundaries, etc have been traditional practices and are of common phenomenon till this day.

Sovereignty over land

The areas occupied by Kuki-Chin (Chikims) remained one until the British came to India during the later half of the 19th Century. They were never known to be under the rule of Hindu or Muslim India. They remained as good friend to the Manipur Rajas and not as his subject. Kukis rescuing Manipur King Chandrakirti from the Sukte Captivity may be cited as an example. They were independent from Meitei Raja rule in Manipur.

A Political Agent of Manipur had stated, ‘The Kukis have long enjoyed an evil reputation for their ferocity and have always been left severely alone by the Rajas of Manipur who preferred to avoid them’ (The Hindu Patriot, May 19, 1893).

The British brought the two - hills and valley under their control for administrative convenience, merging the two into one State.

During the British period the hill areas were administered by the Political Agent who was an ICS officer. Their administration in the hill areas was based on the tribal people’s tradition and religious belief. The tribal chiefs were not deprived of the right of ownership from the land. The British in short, refrained from direct interference from the legislation power of the British India in Manipur (Dr. S. Kipgen, Land, Identity & Dev.: Perceptions focusing on the tribals of Manipur).

The Kukis paid nominal taxes (House Tax) as offering to stranger based on their old superstitious belief. They soon, however, came to realize British subjugation in 1917 which culminated to the historic Anglo-Kuki War of 1917-19. (Read Kuki National Assembly Memorandum to PM of India, 1960)

Kukis defending tribal’s land

The Kuki Inpi defended the whole tribal land (Independent Hill Country as described by some writers from 1761 AD) since First World War. In the historic Kuki war against imperialist British which is called Anglo-Kuki War by T.S. Gangte or Kuki Rebellion by Guardians of the NE (2003, pp. 19-20) and Kuki-Rising (Oriental & India Office Collections in London), the Kuki people fought bravely, never surrendered to the British Govt, rather chose imprisonment to save the tribal land. The Kukis fought mainly to defend and protect their land and rights. Many Kuki chiefs were imprisoned and died. The result of it is that North Eastern land remain still in the hands of tribal people. Dr T Lunkim, Tribals land Heritage in NE India Context (A booklet) wrote,

‘The present political chaos in within the independent hill country’. The people own land. The British colonial Govt was just an umbrella Govt to keep and guard the land for the indigenous people. Because they had imprisoned the land defenders. Therefore the Britishers were obligated to keep the land safe against any invasion during the Kuki leading chiefs whom they imprisoned. It was the duty of the British Colonial Govt to guard the tribal land.’

The British realizing that taking away the land and colonize it was a sin, since they knew that the tribal people own the land, they leave on it, therefore made safeguards for the people by introducing ‘Inner Line Permit’ and Chin Hills Regulation, etc. which are an instrument used to safeguard the tribal land during Kuki leading chief in jail.

The war also transferred administration of the hill areas. The Maharaja and the State Darbar came to be eliminated in the administration of Hill areas. The anti-British movement lead by Rani Gaidinliu too played a significant role in effecting the change.

The British rule in India came to an end in 1947. Here, it may be noted that the British left the hill areas of Tripura and Manipur as independent countries. The Independence of India in 1947 did not include these two States. Realizing this the Government of India made the Regent Queen of Tripura and Manipur King forcibly sign the Merger Agreement and declared officially these States merged to India on Oct. 15, 1949, two years later.

Threat on Tribals’ land and forest

In the post independence period the tribal people had been subjected to threat on their land and forest. This ‘process of invasion’ by the Govt and non tribals under the democratic India have generated great concern, threatening their very existence. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru in his speech delivered at Shillong on March, 1959 said, ‘Tribal right in the land and forest should be respected’.

Hill areas to the tribal is their most important heritage. They are the landlord and forest on it is their well loved home, their livelihood, their very existence. It gives them food and others which provide their needs. The gradual extension of the authority of the Govt in this areas and the natural desire of the forest officials deeply disturb the tribal.

T. Lunkim had expressed the need for tribal people to have an introspection as to why so much lost occurred during the last fifty or more years to the tribal people in the North Eastern region. The various designs to slowly replace the traditional democratic system and direct undermining the local authorities and indigenous system by the State have created great problem to the tribal areas. The MLR and LR Act if implemented will take over ownership of tribal land and resources by the Govt and non-tribals.

Here, we may quote Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as saying, ‘It is our policy that the tribal areas should have as much freedom and autonomy as possible so that they can live their own lives according to their own customs and desires’.

‘The problem of the tribal areas is to make the people feel that they have perfect freedom to live their own lives and to develop according to the wishes and genius. India to them should signify not only or protecting force but a liberating one. Any conception that India is ruling them and that they are the ruled, or that customs and habits with which they are unfamiliar are going to be imposed upon them will alienate them’.

Bailed Kangleipal rearrested under NSA

Protests galore, effigies of CM, DG burnt, MAFYF calls general strike

By Our Staff Reporter
IMPHAL, May 13 : High drama marked the day when MAFYF president Sapamc-ha Kangleipal was pro- duced before the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, freed on a bail of Rs 40,000 only to be re-arrested under the National Security Act.

Reacting strongly against the arrest of Kang-leipal, MAFYF has imposed a general strike from midnight of May 13 till midnight of May 14.

Earlier in the day high drama was witnessed at the Court complex of the CJM as a large number of MAFYF volunteers and women folk descended on the complex and waited for Kangleipal to brought there.

However a strong police posse, led by OC of Imphal police RK Khomdon and women police managed to drive the women and volunteers outside the Court complex.

A little after 1 pm, Kangleipal was brought to Court complex in a bullet proof Gypsy.

Conducting the business for the day, CJM Padmeshore asked the State on what charges Kangleipal was arrested.

The response of the State that Kangleipal was held under the Seditious Act for comments reported in the newspaper did not go down particularly well with the CJM who questioned whether there is any evidence to ascribe the statement to Kangleipal.

The State responded that they can produce video clippings but this was turned down on the ground that the MAFYF leader was held on the basis of a report which appeared in a news paper and not on the basis of video clippings.

With the State failing to produce substantial evidences, the Court released Kangleipal on a bail of Rs 40,000. However a few moments after Kangleipal was released, he taken into custody again and booked under the National Security Act. The police were armed with an order issued by the District Magistrate of Imphal West, which stated that Kangleipal be detained under section 3 (2) of National Security Act. The DM in his order said that his office is satisfied with the police report that Kanglei-pal’s activities are prejudicial to the maintenance of public order under Section 3 (2) of the NSA, 1980. Following the re-arrest of Kangleipal, the women folk and MAFYF volunteers who had gathered outside the Court premise tried to stop the police vehicles by lying on the ground. Police however used a decoy and managed to take away Kangleipal in another vehicle. With the women folk and MAFYF volunteers raising their pitch, the police drove them back towards Waheng Leikai. Meanwhile strongly condemning the detention of Kangleipal under the NSA, MAFYF has imposed a 24 hour Statewide general strike from midnight of May 13 till midnight of May 14. Effigies of the Chief Minister and the DGP were also consigned to the flames to mark their protest. Talking to newsmen, general secretary of MAFYF Ksh Premjit said that if Kangleipal is not released without any conditions, then they would be constrained to launch a series of intense agitation. Arresting someone under the NSA after being granted bail by a Court amounts to challenging the people, he asserted and added that the Government is inviting trouble. Premjit acknowledged the suffering to be caused to the people due to the strike, but added that this has been necessitated by the action of the Government. He also appealed to the transporters to extend their co-operation as well as to shut down all educational institutions.

The general strike called by MAFYF is being supported by UPF, NIPCO, AMSU, AMKIL, Nupi Samaj, Tammi-Chingmi, UPACO, Thoubal District United Women’s Organisa-tion, ANUL Bishnupur and Women’s Development Organisation. To register their protest the effigies of the Chief Minister and the DGP were burnt at the DM College gate today evening.

10 Careers That Could Have Employers Knocking on Your Door

by Richard Barrington

If you think looking for a job and finding a career are the same thing, think again. With the U.S. unemployment rate under 5%, almost anybody can find a job. The bad news is that many of these jobs are low-paying, come without benefits, or offer little in the way of security. Finding a career where you have the upper hand takes a little more long-term planning than simply finding a job, but it will be well worth it in the long run.

These ten careers--in four major job sectors--are likely to be rewarding because employees in these fields are expected to find themselves in an employee's market.

Healthcare
For better or worse, you can't fight demographics, and those demographics show that the average American is getting older. Healthcare needs increase with age, so as the baby-boom generation enters retirement, healthcare workers are going to be in more demand than ever.

Career possibility #1: Personal/Home Health Aide. As people age, healthcare becomes more of a day-to-day issue, which is why personal/home health aides are in such demand. Health aid training will give you enough background to get started in this field.

Career possibility #2: Medical Assistants. Demand for this occupation is growing, but so is the demand for formal training. You'd want to take some medical assisting courses in school--or even consider a medical assisting degree.

Career possibility #3: Mental Health Counselors/Social Workers. The psychological aspect of healthcare cannot be overlooked. Consistent with the theme of an aging America, Alzheimer's disease is creating more and more mental health challenges, but there are also conditions such as autism which are becoming more common in the general population. Psychology programs are offered in many schools, and online psychology degrees are also available.

Information Technology
The big concern with information technology (IT) has been that some programming and customer support functions have been outsourced overseas. However, certain IT functions are more hands-on, and these are the areas where trained workers remain in demand.

Career possibility #4: Network Systems and Data Communications Analysts. Mastery of the computer system makes you indispensable to an organization. This takes a high level of training, so a degree in information technology is a must. Experience plus training is even better, so if you are already working, consider earning an IT degree online.

Career possibility #5: Computer Software Applications Engineers. Routine programming can be outsourced, but there will never be any substitute for the ability to create new, value-added applications. A computer programming degree is a good start, or go online to check out other types of computer science degrees.

Education
Teaching is another career that is hands-on enough to be immune to outsourcing.

Career possibility #6: Teacher. Dedicated teachers are in demand in virtually every part of the country, and with the general population growing, this demand is not going to wane any time soon. You will need a degree in education, and an online teaching degree is one way of meeting this requirement. You'll need teacher's certification as well, so check your state department of education website.

Professional Services
The nature of these services is highly-individualized, which is one of the reasons trained professionals are in demand.

Career possibility #7: Paralegal/Legal Assistant. These occupations are in demand because they can leverage the time of high-priced lawyers. There are paralegal schools across the country and online where you can pursue a paralegal degree or legal assisting training.

Career possibility #8: Financial Services. The heart of the baby boom is entering its peak savings years. Careers in finance can be highly compensated, so an MBA in finance may be well worth the investment. An online finance degree can be a way to give your current career a new boost.

Career possibility #9: Accountants and Auditors. These have some of the same characteristics as financial services careers. Training can be found at a variety of accounting schools, or consider an online accounting degree. Specialize in taxes or estate planning or fraud to attract even bigger opportunities.

Career possibility #10: Employment Services. With all the job demand described above, it should be no surprise that this is expected to be the fastest growing segment of the professional and business services sector. Plus, what better way to keep track of evolving employment trends than working as a recruiter or placement specialist? Consider earning a human resource management degree either online or at a traditional school.

As always, check out the relevant accreditation standards for any career training and educational program you choose. As for making that choice, the bottom line is, if you want a job where you'll be in demand, just look at society's trends and follow those trends toward your new career.
