Dear friends,
Thank you so much for all your wonderful birthday wishes... I loved all the heartfelt comments... Needless to say when i saw them all i was surprised, delighted and moved to tears... it means a lot to me. I am not the measure of what i've done but more of who i am, thank to those who've motivated me and pushed me to greater heights. You all are the reason why I am still in facebook, enjoying my days..

I make plan for a small party but the thought of my struggling father who nobly responded for my call for monetary helps deeply pain me, so I stick to the morning fasting and prayer from the pastor. No party and wine in my birthday, somethime I envied you all, you rocks on your birthday night, those candles, cakes and wine. I want you to remember me, when you are face to face with sadness because of your failure birthday party (in case in the future) that there is someone who don’t even have the money to celebrates his own birthday. I want it that ways.. But you all make 2011, March 25, memorable for me and this year was my best birthday ever. I am another year older and i realized that in life there should not be anything to be scared of anymore. We should just deal with our insecurities, mistakes, and flaws like a grown human being. You make me realised that people accept you for who you are and love you through the moments you endure and smile like theres no tomorrow. So with much resilience in my heart, i hope everyone will love life and live passionately and enjoy his/her birthday in the best possible ways in the future..

Thank you all for your wishes… thanks for listening... thanks for Being... thanks for sharing and caring... may you always be inspired, loved & appreciated ...

With love & affection your friend

The Last tears of Zogal:

2011-03-25T19:15:00.000+05:30

Hausienmuan Munluo

War having decided upon, the Zogal Salpha's rapidly crossed the "Border" Paldai river in Singngat into Zezaw, the killing field of Zogal, where the Zou legendary warrior Letkhup Munluo of Singngat skinned wild tigers, Lion and the like and fought the Haokip tatara Pu Hemlam Haokip, and the Zou Army were soon carrying all before them. The British troops were ambushed, harassed, pick-off, booby-trapped and tormented at will by the Zou Armies at Zezaw Hill like the Apache or the Sioux Indians. The British troops they encountered were dispersed with “Suangkhaithaang” and pumpi, Zouthau, bow and Arrow and with the Sword of the heroes. At length the day battle was won, and the victor Zogal Salpha’s returned home at Singngat. The command in chief (Gallamkai) Pu Lagou Tawtah and Hangchin went to the great chief Tonghau Munluo to report to their great chief’s that the tasks entrusted to them had been successfully accomplished. At this time-the year was about 1918 A.D.

From what may be learned from oral tradition handed down to us by our forefather that day Zezaw battle (and there is not the slightest reason to doubt their essential truth) was one of the greatest Zou battle with the British. But a few generations after our forefather fought in Zogal their legacy had vanished. Under the new generation it had shrunk to nothing, leaving only the memory of a few names and battles. The modern Zou generation changes the greatness of their struggles into an old man boring stories. This write-up was not an attempt to study and analyse the Zou wars of independence but an attempt to show to the new generation the superhuman sacrifices made by our ancestor in the killing field of Zogal is worth remembering, and to change the modern generation perspectives toward their sacrifices. We cannot but remember our indomitable freedom fighters, drawn from all parts of Zogam, who shed their blood so that we, live a life unfettered by the ignoring of Imperialist domination and colonial exploitation. Let us not let the Zogal Salpha’s efforts go unnoticed.

SMS for Zogal:

There are psychological moments in life and an insight received in such a moments can change our perspective toward things- history, quality of life and transform for the better, and enriched it. It was peak summer time in 2010. As is and was my wont the first things I do after every meals is check my mobile inbox for message that friends send me, particularly throught the night. There it was, this innocuously simple message which went: “Zogal lai a Ahgawchieng bangtan a sau a bangtan a vanleng leeng e?Zou IAS Question”. Then another message: “Zou napdaw ang kichi chieng a bang a dawng ding e?” A well retrospective messages from one curious young mind. The sheer simplicity and exhortation of the message settled in my mind, and set me thinking, of Zogal and it’s warriors. The sight of half-naked Zou warriors shouting war cried, or the shaking Zou women’s and children’s swarm before my eyes for a moment. Having absorbed the pregnant purport of the message the first thing I did was forward the message, as to remember, to my benevolent friends. After a while in the day my mobile begin to beep with the sound of an incoming message. The Zou IAS Question may be easy to answer, as, it take my friends 10 or 15 minutes to answer it. One reply: “ Zogal lai a ipupa ten vanleeng inntung tan a leeng ding a ahisap uh, Ahgawchieng sauseng lou ding. Zounapdaw lai a hing kou ding mi namdang koima umnailou”. A cosmopolitan spirits answer. Then another messages read: “Zogal lai a vanleeng ipu ten mualtung lah a ana geptho uh, Ahgawchieng sang seng lou ding, Zou napdaw ang kichi chieng a tulai nou a dawta chia dawng ding”. Another retrospective message.

What I liked about the SMS is it’s sheer simplicity and exhortation messages. The messages speak in honour of those Zogal heroes who have consistently proven their worth. It speaks out in honour of those great chief’s and warriors who have fought hard- to retain the right of their forefather and to freed us from foreign grips. Let us in our own small way honour the fighter of the Zou wars of independence. And let us remember the first tears to the last tears of our wars. No doubt, the war was brought to an end on 20th May, 1919, but the last tear’s of Zogal was shed on 29th May, 2010.

The last tears of Zogal:

Tonghau munluo, the great chief, in the time of the great warrior Letkhup Munluo, was the great-grandfather I never knew, kept alive only throught my grandfather stories. More than nine decades after he was imprisoned at Imphal for his political beliefs by the British, I was the first (may be) in the family to stand at his burial place marking his fought for freedom, justice and Independence.

I grew up hearing tales of Zogal from my grandfather. When I was quite small, the stories seemed “Fun, full of dark humour”. It wasn’t until I was old enough that my grandfather revealed the more realistic versions of his narratives. In the summer of 2010, on May 29 I stood on the soil of “Khomunlui”, with my grandfather Khupkhanhau ( Chief of Singngat), once called home by my great-grandfather and mothers and mourned them and all those who have been laid and rest there. My grandfather told me, this is the place of Singngat at the time of the British, where the British burned down and killed one innocent young girl.

I could almost imagine my forefather lying there and forgiving the British soldiers who had taken the life of some of the innocent villagers and burn down their houses during the war, then whispering the name of their beloved children children’s. I imagine my great-grandfather Tonghau Munluo peering down the mountain admiring the beautiful scenic of the land he fought for his children’s, of the land they fought for us. This was a once in lifetime experiences for me. Over 93 years had passed since my great-grandfather fight the British, imprisoned as a political prisoner, as a freedom fighter. Through out those years I never gave up hope that someday my oneself would reconnect these sacred memories with the present. Standing at the place where my forefather once spent their life in Singngat Khomunlui was unbelievable. It was bliss from my ancestor to their great grandson in the present.

I walked around the perimeter of “Khomunlui” that had been the resting place of my forefather, where my grandfather and mother spent their childhood days. Then my grandfather leads us to the North of “Khomun”, while he seems to count his steps. After the seven steps may be eight my grandfather stop and pointed the place; “This is where your great-grandfather and mothers and five other from our families rest. In all seven people from our families laid to rest in one tomb.” He told us. Then my grandfather speaks out to his father Tonghau and to our ancestor at Khomun, honouring them for their great sacrifices during the war and telling them that the villages, the land they defended with their bloods was now shinning like the North star in the Milky ways. After my grandfather speaks out honors word to his ancestor, then his voice become low and he started speaking to his father Tonghau alone, begging him to tell him why he left behind when he was still a child. Then something just hit me to keep popping into my head like a recurring Nightmare; “Senpan momnou zuo mel mulou, sinlai ah na e zuo ang pomlou..”. I stand listening stupidly to his heavy heart. It was the first time I ever saw my grandfather tears, a tears of the past and the tears of the war. A tears long to be shed. The last tears of Zogal. He still gets tears in his eyes and a lump in his throat remembering the day when the whole villages sacrifices for our today. With tears in his eyes, he sings an Ode to the gfallen heroes (Sanemla) and dedicates it to all who laid to rest in Khomun.

Remembering the fallen heroes:

In the above paragraph I have briefly reflected one of Zogal heroes my great-grandfather Pu Tonghau Munluo. He and those who have been laid to rest at “Khomun” made grand sacrifies or contribution to the struggle for the liberation of Zogam or made some grand political contribution to our nation. It is an attempt to smother the hearts, to remind the Zou’s students that everything we enjoy today is the result of someone sacrifices.

War has been a part of the human experience since the dawn of recorded history, and this unfortunate fact has been reflected in the literature of almost every period and culture. War stories were intended to preserve the history or mythology of conflict between different societies. As a great-grandson of one of the Zogal heroes, I have seen the consequences of inadequate honors pay to our forefather and the hugh price that they pay. And the inadequate recorded story to preserve our history. What we need to ask ourselves today, indeed the question we ought to answer, is whether we have been able to uphold or honors the sons and daughters of our land. Let us have an honest introspection of ourselves. Can we in all honestly say we have all done what we can to honor our fallen heroes, those who took up arms to liberate our land? Like the tears of my grandfather, the last tears of Zogal seems to send us a message; “Here lies our fallen heroes who gave their life for our today, honour them”.

SOJOURN IN ZODAWN:

2011-01-18T20:21:00.000+05:30

On 15th April 2010, I ventured with my grandpa in his car deep down in Zodawn upto near Mizoram boarder in Guite Road for some family business. Then on 21 May 2010 to Behiang and on 24 May to some Ug;s designated campi in Hausapi ranges. In this sojourn to Zodawn i came across many signs which pop out my head or shed in many villages. WELCOME TO....khonuam:..Nuam, read the sign at the entrance of most of the villages as we pass them on our way to destination. whether or not the irony of these registers on the users, it seems like an ominous reminder that here, more than any other place, most people have been struggling long, that the poverty of Zodawn had reached such phenominal depths that most people were living just at the subssistence level.

There was hardly any surplus stocks of foodgrains, to sustain the people against economic or crop failures. These Zodawn people living standard can be compare to those of the people lining in the recurrent famines in India during the British era. With Manipur government policy of least relief or developmental measures, the suffering become acute. And with their NREGS wages 10 percent or 20 percent deducted by some ultra;s, there was a little or some money in the hands of most of zodawn people to purchase food at a higher price or from a distant place.

It take more than four hours to reach our destination. on the ways the deplorable condition of these people make me keep thining. their deplorable economic condition have less impact on the rest of the state;s mind than does a mosquitoes- killing virus. As far as anyone outside Zodawn is concerned, these Zodawn people have, in fact, become nothing more than a voter list or a statistics. We sit far away here in Delhi or in other metropolitan city, safe and sound from the political chaos, and the nightmare living condition in Zodawn. When some curious young mind wrote something about Zodawn socio-economic condition we shake our head over another shameful stories of our hometown and then move on to the next articles or news item. Mautam...WHAT/ Mautam, crop failures, school drop out, disturbed area acts, neglected, corruptions... What does it matter? We no longer stop to think. Or Care. But you can't ignore it when you are there, in the middle of these people, looking at their shabby dress or rickety house, almost non-existent infrastructure and feeling what it must be like to be those people we only hears in some write-ups.

When someone talkes about Zodawn condition, we have a notion ready in minds for all politicians(MLA's) are corrupt to the core, and it is the result of these corruption that zodawn condition is worsening. We the Zou's are expert in generalising. Perhaps that is not a swapping statesment. The tendency of us, zou to view every politician(MLA), as corrupt and a Money Machine is not only false in every sense of the word. But is also indicative of a very narrow and parochial mindset and outlook. it not only highlight the fact that we the Zou's want our politicians to be the way but also exibits our tendency of not wanting to do anything to change the present scenerio. The incident of Ngasuanlei in 2008 show our parochial mindset and outlook on the people and Zodawn, and also that Zou educated prefer to blame the politician instead of going out and do the required of them. we usually do nothing and then we criticise the authority for being neglecting our land.

Along the way one got to see the little sign-post announcing the effort of the local MLA's, "Primary health centre, PMGY, IAY etc..". The present MLA within in his capacity tackled the issue upto some extent. He had been effective in monitoring the judicious use of funds arriving from the state and centre. But it is the middle men between the MLA and local people- The contractor and the government beaurecracy, who corrupted the fund and diverted for their personal gain. It's here, that we, the more educated peoples in the towns and cities, have a place, to fight for the people of Zodawn. We gave too much emphasies to the government for development.

It is time to change our outlook towards Zodawn and our politician. the government would not make us developed, educated and income Zodawn income. it is ourselves who can make Zodawn growth in all sphere. And it is the Zou educted who can fight those corrupt contractors and government beaurecrate, to make Zodawn economic condition a balanced economy of agriculture and a self sufficient villages community.

Bag Packing in Zodawn

By:- Hausienmuan Munluo

In the first week of March 2009. We began our Youth Gospel tour deep into the zodawn hills. Our first destination was Phaibem Village. It was my first tour, so i am preparing well. When we reached Phaibem village after traveling 45 Minutes by the afternoon Bus. Two young girls was waiting to receive us at the village entrance. I was wonder struck by their beauty, hospitality and their confidence in speech. The welcome was so disarming, their manner so friendly and radiant, that my nervousness evaporated before I could say a word. Here, I learnt that it is important not to measure high standard of living (Changkangna) and well being throught material possessions, education, the way we dress and in place where we live.

In the evening the two girls Chingboi and Ngangai led us near khugadam (khuga river) for our bath, they showed us different kind of insect and plant. Calling most by their scientific names and asking me in our own dialect, I was amazed at how much they know. They knew exactly when the plant bloom and what part of the plant is edible. They showed us how to row a boat. I become painfully aware of my own ignorance and relished meaningful learning is not only from good school and colleges in town and cities, but possible only when the emotion and the intellect are integrated.

At every village we conduct night worship services, presenting a very special song with our goog and mellifluous voices with my cousin Khupboi, everywhere we were appreciated. And after the church service, some cosy chat by the fireside other are flattering and long in the moonlit night, I can hear my cousin playing guitar and singing together with those young girls, song like " Solha hingtang ngai aw lungzuan lai ah na e...etc.." It makes me feel lonesome and the song " Nunlui ngailou a um lou e.." echoes in my ears. I would daydream about falling in Love with one of these beautiful girls. Unfortunately for me, these young girls ignored the leengkul and i never got the chance to flatter with them. Yet the act unlocked my imagination. imaginations is everything. If we can imagine a future, we can creat it That is the way of success.

The morning in kullian was exasperated. I want to spent my free time rowing boat on the Khuga River (Khugadam). The girls was exact opposite. They wanted to rehearse song for the choir. our pastor and youth chairman ask me to invite the Kullian girls to join us in our tour. My day begin with quarrelling for the day routine. From here, I learnt the power of disagreement, of dialogue and the essence of living with diversity in thinking. One cannot be dogmatic in matters of taste.

Our tour last for 13 days, but it make me learned what Delhi cannot taught me for the past 4 years. These zodawn people, who we usually called "Mawls" or "singtangte's"- was showing me the value of love, teaching me the meaning of success and real education of learning. Once Chingboi and Ngangai talks with their old friends from school in one village, about drugs addiction, their conversation was such that they would not talk to each other anymore, i then remind Chingboi, not to uselessly urge with those people that she would never succeed him to lead a normal life. Chingboi answer me that " Success is not what we creat for our self, it is what we give and left behind for other". The bond that was created between us was not romantic in nature. It is about the bond of Love and affection, bond of trust and caring. When in Delhi, once I narrated the whole story to one of my Lamka’n friends he commented that it was very foolish of me. Well I have been a fool all my life so what the hell. I was actually quite thrilled about my experience and that experience was perhaps was my highlight in Zoudawn. I can still see the faces of those smiling Zoudawn girls even after three months in Delhi and the love for Zoudawn become my inspiration in my struggling students life.

Popular Christmas Legends

2010-12-24T18:57:00.001+05:30

Ho.Ho.Ho, Merry Christmass.!!
Santa Claus

It is said that the custom of Santa Claus was started after the life of Saint Nicholas, a generous and kind-hearted saint who loved children and was always eager to help poor and the downtrodden. It is said that one Christmas night, he saw a poor father and his three daughters crying for they were so poor that they had eaten nothing for the whole day and could not afford dowry for the girls' marriage. Thus, Nicholas threw three bags of gold from the chimney that fell in the stocking of each girl and brought happiness into their lives forever.

Tree
Martin Luther, the German monk and the famous church reformer has been credited with the indoor tree decorations. It is said that once while he was wandering through the woods, he saw the dew glistening like stars on the fir trees. He was so mesmerized by the beauty that he brought a small tree to his home and tried to recreate the splendor by lighting up little candles on it. In the middle Ages, evergreen trees in home or near home symbolized hope for Spring for Germans and Scandinavians. Later it came to be symbolized as life in Europe and other parts of the world and was thus adopted as Christmas symbol.

There is an interesting legend associating it with the birth of Jesus Christ. On the night when Jesus was born, all creatures contributed gifts to be taken to Bethlehem. While olive tree provided its fruit and palm tree came up with dates, fir tree was at loss and was distressed, as it could offer nothing to the newborn king. So an angel took pity on the poor tree and decorated it with stars. Baby Jesus was pleased to see the lighted tree. Since then, it has become a custom to decorate the fir tree on Christmas.

Poinsetta
According to a Mexican legend, a girl named Maria and her little brother Pablo were so poor that they had nothing to take as a gift to the Baby Jesus in the manger scene set up in the village church during the Christmas festival. They were sad and distressed and while on the way to the church to attend the service, they decided to gather a handful of common weeds as a gift to Christ and made them into a small bouquet.

Touched by their sincerity and devotion and the courage with which they took their humble gift to the church, despite of the teasing of other village children, an angel took pity on them and blessed them. Maria and Pablo quietly placed the green plants around the manger with all the heart and to everybody's surprise, a miracle happened then and there. The green top leaves turned into bright red petals, making beautiful star-like flowers. All who witnessed the scene were touched by the kindness of the great Lord and devotion of the children.

Christmas Star
It is said that a brightly shining star that had miraculously appeared in the eastern sky guided the magi (the three wise men from the East) to the newborn king. Astronomers ruled out the possibility of a meteor that burns up in seconds or a comet because according to their calculation, no comets crossed the earth's path around the time of Christ's birth. However, since the magi were also the astrologers of their time, they may have made calculations and interpreted them to predict that a divine soul was to be born on the Jewish land. Now, people adorn the churches and homes during Christmas with star as a holy sign that symbolizes high hopes, good fortune and happiness in their lives.

According to some stargazers, if we put the birth of Jesus in springtime of 6 B.C., then perhaps we may account for the said star as the triangle of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn planets that had come close together at that time to form the constellation of Pisces, considered especially auspicious by Jewish rabbis. However, some keep themselves aloof from all logic and just believe it to be a miracle and today; the world usually begins the Christian holiday with the appearance of the first star of Christmas Eve. Poland celebrates the Festival of the Star, where the priest acts as the 'Star Man' to test the children's knowledge of religion just after the Christmas Eve meal. Alaskan boys and girls carry a star shaped figure from house to house singing carols on Christmas and receive treats in turn. In Hungary, a star-shaped pattern is carved on one half of the apple is considered a good luck charm.

Zovakhu Notes:

I do not pretend to be a scholar nor do I claim that my statements are derived from facts acceptable to historians. I admit that my derived and all other Zou writers derived conclusion are an assumed truth, subject to further investigation by those enthusiasts of Zou history. I hope and pray that this work may be an incentive for the Zou= people to make more research and study, for which I should say my labour was not in vain.

The purpose of my article was to dig up the depth of the past and to identify the sacrifices make by different Zogal heroes. It looks as if we Zou people were without history, because our language was unwritten. All available source material available consists= of oral tradition, comparative traditional song study, observations made by the past scholars and at several points one account contradicts another. Collecting and correlating such material and using them to write a succinct and cohesive historical accounts on our people is indeed a very hard task.

There are various studies on different front like Behiang-Hiangtam, Tonjang, Gotengkot and Singngat Forth. And I uses all of them to draws my own conclusions which are quite sound. In oral tradition there are distortion. But I would not hesitate to recommend it to all interested reader on Zou people and our history .

Zogal Comice Review

2010-01-13T14:40:00.000+05:30

By: Muanthang Tungnung

This book meant purpose and it does serve right. The approach to convey what we had known as ‘stories” came out to be ‘history’ when the Zou language was been taught as subject in high school; it’s now as decisive seeing in yet another medium. The Zodream’s Zogaal – Ka thang e, Ka Zogal Saat! smartly dare to presents the history and the stories. Blatantly insulating history in its own rights and not forgetting the doses of a regular comic story to opens one with a story about friendship, loyalty, love, betrayal, revenge and redemptions.

The Zou war of independence (1917 – 1919) started as Labour Crops announced to recruit 2000 men to forge toward France. The other tribe to resist this imposition was the Thadou. These two tribes joined forces against the white imperialists. The forts at Gotengkot and Hiengtam were the two main centres of resistance. It was in 1919 the last men of Eleven leaders surrendered at Hiengtam.Following each words with artistry dedications; the story begins: “Nikhat Zogamlai ah sing kung lien mamate leh hamphul mamate mun ah…...”. Here we have Thangpu, his loyal friend Paupu and his love Niengnou. The story strictly sticks to a time-frame when the war was on. We encounter Paupu tried escaping an English Officer; Men of the village been taken away from their home leaving their wives and children behind. Violence was grim and real. The avenging spirit of Thangpu was unmistakenly. Both the Artist James Taithul and scrip-writer S Nengkhanlun have given the right inputs into it. A pencil-drawing on a plain paper couldn’t have been much of use than this! Just when the ending came, the story just began. Thangpu raised up to avenged the death of his friends, family and ruined village. And the 56 pages being offered here came to an end. The seafaring White imperialist springs up like the fast growing cactus plant. The Zo land shakes like the earthquakes; ‘Tis the land of my birth: I shall not part with it! My sharp sword is strained with blood, I faced enemies; Being brave son of my father, I shall not fear.

Naturally, the comic pointed out the gruesome reality of Labour Crops, which was the cause of the rising. Let us reason it further that this didn’t stop even when Manipur was granted statehood. The lowly Tribes, or so should we say our great grandfathers and grandfathers, were subjects to this very cruelty even when they’d enjoy liberty in the land they had had fought for. A need to captured the young minds with this legacy which maintains in its own rights the sovereignty of Tribe; it’s nonetheless one participations of identifying within this somehow estranged nations of ours. This very effort couldn’t have gone wasted.

Zogaal – Ka thang e, ka Zogal saat! doesn’t show or direct out-rightly anything. But in way work up inhabitant because we are what this is about.

Zovakhu Comment:

Nice job,, Muan! Great Writing! Keep up the great writings..!. I found the book amusing thought a bit wrong. All the character in the comics were fictitious, something which should be avoided while writting a documentary book or stories.

Well, the war shows that our commitment to Zogam, not for fear of labour corps but to freed their son and grndson from the Britist yoke that My great grandfather was one of the unsung heroes in this War (Zogal). He was captured by the British and spent 9 months at Imphal Jail in 1918.

My lineage goes all the back to Singngat - then a Southern Manipur Province. The Britist burned down more than 30 house in Singngat alone. All others villages exceptd the Zous were infavour of the British while our grandfather fought tooth and nail, we should not forget the fact that the British brought in Meiteis, Nagas and other to crush the war of independence in 1918. How neat!??...

My Town, MY Hometown:

2009-12-27T14:22:00.002+05:30

By: Hausienmuan Munluo

The Scene in my hometown. I was sipping tea, with my friend Lun inside a Hotel on my first morning after two years in Delhi. That pretty girl with black-hair was invitingly attracting me. With her halter-top/neck, shorts and hand-set. Lun new my attention and chat her to my table. After our tea party, we went out with the girls for a new Mini-skirts Korean fashion (All knew well, when shopping with girls one have to explore the whole town for a single shirt, right?). There i just found out “Kol Chalak Pil”. These Kolte’s have the ability to manipulate the market power to serve their selfish interests. On the one hand they assumed the form of a monopolist and on the other they create artificial scarcity of the supply of goods. This way their power to exploit the peoples enhances. They succeed in charging higher prices for their goods and services. Unfortunately, no civil society or student organisation in Churachandpur worth the name has ever exerted pressure on the monopolist to end this concentraction of economic power. And end one root cause of poverty.

The above writing calls for serious reflection ont he notion of our hometown economy. It is taken for granted that the town rich and educated people were developed, there were economic development in every sphere. It may be observed that some of our people are advanced and they are in the administration of the state and central. Sons and daughters of these richmen, high-paid officers are driving motor-cycle of the latest brand and a good number of “Pulsar”; proudly driving while some Subingtal were pressing their breast on their back.

On the other hand, tens of hundreds of Zodawn people are living in deplorable conditions. With Zodawn economy in aggravation, agriculture is still the main occupation of Zodawn peoples. These people are more ebgaged in physical labour and depend more on seasonal employment. Comapred to the town peoples, they work all day long. When agricultural season is over, these people look out for alternative occupations. What they produce is very low and not on a variable economic levels. There is no suitable occupation opportunities to replace physical labour. Even if opportunities are given, their human resources are not capable of exploiting these opportunities. So, they need the rich, educated and high paid officers and professional attention, care and guidance.

Everyday i was wondering why our officers, professional, doctors (Ph.d etc.) and urban elites seems surprisingly unmoved by the plights of these people. It is a nightmare in believing that the Church and civil organisation will make it developed. But one thing for sure is that our poor Zodawn Economy is worsening. Instead of boiling in our small petty politics in Delhi, the educated, elites etc search and find some ways from Delhi to helps poor Zodawn people. They need the maps, money and guideline. We have unemployment despite opportunities. That’s because our human resources are not capable of exploiting the opportunities. So, we should speak out here to the government on behalf of Zodawn people. We can send a message to the government that theyu should focuss on livelihood training and make Zodawn youth a world-class workforce and focuss on natural resource based development.

What our homeland economy is going through is not unique. Perhaps the scale in Zodawn is worse than my story because of my small penetration in the villages. Almost all Zodawn village are going through a smilar transition i.e economic worsening. How material transformation is impacting attitudes is not clear. My father, a church elders and social visionary, tells me that the number of educated people leaving Zodawn to its own fate is on the rise. Halters-top and shorts coexist with monopolist capitalist, Pulsar with physical labour and increasing urban elites with exploitation of the poor. Oh, is this the Zou economy of the 21^st Millenium encapsulated?

Note: This article was write up in an attempt to show to the intelligentsia and civil societies to be aware of the grievance faced by the people of Zodawn. It is taken for granted that Zou development was possible only when every individual were developed economically.

ZSP Fresher Meet 2009 report:

2009-09-22T18:41:00.004+05:30

By: Hausienmuan

Eid, a Muslim festival was observed all over the country as a national holiday on September 21, 2009. But for the Zou students in Delhi, it was celebrated in style and with a different ambience. The day was celebrated to foster the spirit of love, brotherhood and unity. Once again a large number of Zou students, more than 400 are counted, in colourful traditional attires from all over the city gathered at the premises of Sri Shankarlal Concert Hall, Delhi university, to welcome the new faces. Considered as an annual highpoint of the year, the Zou people have been constantly organising freshers' meet for the last seventeenth years. Held under the aegis of Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi, Delhi Branch (ZSP DB), the occasion was celebrated with much enthusiasm.

The programme commenced sharp at 11:00 A.m. with the ZSP anthem "Thou Un, Thou Un..." led by the ZSP Cultural troupe and was set into motion with a prayer offered by Pastor S.k Mung which was followed by the welcome address from Pu Khaibiaklian, Chairman, Sub-committee Fresher meet. Later on, an/annual report for the term 2008-2009 was also presented by Ginshanglian, Secretary, Freshers report by Hausienmuan Munluo, information and publicity secretary and ZSP Study Forum-cum-Library report by Kamlianlal Co-ordinator ZSP Study Forum. A heart warming speech was delivered by ZSP Mother Nu Chiinkhannem and a song "Lawmgual ngai umte..." from Nunem and party touch the audience. The ZSP Golden Jubilee inspiring "Zopatong Chroegraphy" evoked a spirited response from the audience.

The introduction of fresher’s was the most attractive of the meet, Mr. Hausienmuan Munluo face the creative and well informed freshers and led the fresher parade, and it was followed by consecration of Fresher by Rev. G.K Joshua. Putting up a brave face, the newcomers came forward to introduce themselves. Pu Khakhai Zou inspiring speech was followed by the Zou cultural dance with boom..boom..

Dr. Thokchom meinya, Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha, was the chief guest of the function. Moreover, there were delegates attending the ZSP fresher meet from other sister student organisations of manipur like KSO etc.

Pu John Jamkhomang Munluo, election commissioner, administered oath of office and secrecy of the new ZSP Cabinet which includes-
1. President- Khaibiaklian
2. Vice-President- Samuel Samte
3. Secretary- Zuanneithang
4. Join Secretary- Kamminthang
5. Finance secretary- Naomi Haumuanching
6. Information secretary- Linda Nianglamching
7. Education Secretary- Kamlianlal.

Songs and music however dominated the programes. The longtime legendary star Jimmy Munluo and co. with their song "We are the world, we are the children.." evoked a spirited response from the audience, while some dance with joy, some tapped their feet and drummed their fingers to the tunes. Musical bands and artists such as the Zotal band, YWAM Band, Miss Naomi Haumuanching, Mr. George Mate and Miss Mangnu among other enthralled and kept alive the gathering throughout the session. . The Zou ballads like “ Khut leh khut kitu in..", "Sangnaupang siamsin momnou..." etc was sung. Besides the distribution of meritorious of award to encourages successful students, there was also Mr. and Miss ZSP contest, the idea was to make the freshers feel at home.

Then Mr. Hausienmuan Munluo, requested Miss Merina ZSP CBSE (Cl-XII) Delhi topper to present a very special song which was swift followed by Mr and miss ZSP declaration, Ruth Nemneikim was crowned as Miss fresher ZSP 2009 and Joseph Suanlianlal Munluo was honour with Mr Fresher 2009, the way the programe was organised added a new dimension to the celebration. The programme ended with the ZSP members getting determined to move forward with their motto "Thou Un, Thou Un.."

Note: It was the beast and well organised function in Delhi Zou history. Complete report coming soon on Zokuomthawn issue.

C

In Search Of A Leader:

2009-09-05T14:58:00.004+05:30

Hausienmuan Munluo

With another election just round the corner perhaps the time is right for the people to seriously start the search for a leader who can guide or represent us in every issue. Every Organisation, in its, human resource, have a hidden born leader, who the people should choose with care. If an organization appoint leader who lack sensitivity in dealing with people it will end up losing its trust. So, the people itself must appoint its leader in its human resource itself.

A divided society must choose a leader: - Who has deep insight into what makes the human heart tick, tune into the thoughts and aspirations of others and motivate people to give their best. - A leader who trust other and delegates responsibility. A successful leader resists the impulse to do everything by oneself even if s/he can. It will develop the individual. - A leader who teaches by example and depends less on the power of his position and more on personal charisma and influence.

To conclude:

A great leaders are people with high degree of integrity. They say what they mean and do what they commit to. Such leader can take a stand on complex issues and makes unpopular decisions keeping with his/her inner convictions. But with all our senior students all believing himself ever the best and good on negative criticism to any issue, then, on what ground should we make the choice? This is where the question araise; On what basis should we make our choices; Should it be along the ideology of the person concerned? Should it be about voting along rhetorics line? Should it be a dummy person who can be easily control? Or should it be about the personal quality and integrity of the person concerned? These are all questions, but the truth stands that the time has come for the Zou’s students to seriously choose a leader who can represent us at every issue and guide us forward to unity, keeping aside his personal interest.

We need a leader who doesn’t hesitate to do manual work, who can interact freely with the most junior members to the most senior students and who can always keep in touch with the families. But a leader should not be the monopoly of the elders.!

Taming Leena With Politics

2009-09-05T14:53:00.004+05:30

Student participation in Politics: As I was sipping tea with a pretty girls in Naraina, my attention was caught by the television screen. Hillary Clinton was addressing the students and teachers in Delhi University. Her speech; “…we have to focus on poor women and poor children because that is the generational change that makes a difference” spoiled my day at Leena house. Our conversation shift from ‘sweet-talk’ to that bullshit politics. Leena was with the view that students should shun from politics, and oppose the participation of students in politics. Here our politics means students and civil organization. Leena was argumentative and put up a strong case but on that day I tame Leena with politics. The question of the participation of students in politics has always evolved a lot of discussion. It has been a very controversial subject. In my own opinion students participation in politics should be encourage. Education does not only mean near literacy, it also means a total and all round development of the student personality. It makes students aware of what is happening in his society and in the world around. It also develops students the qualities of leadership. Instead of being a timid shy, book-worms, students grows into an aggressive, dominating and alert Youngman who know how to fight the battle of life. Our discussion goes on and leena attack me with some very interesting point. But I put forward my point with force and conviction and tell her that student life is the formative period in one’s life. If a student is totally away from politics, he is likely to grow into a lope-sided personality. People who do not participate in politic during their student life tend to be those who create hackus-ruckus in our society, they lop-sided from the main stream flow .I told leena that student should participate in politic then she slowly speek out and agreed with me within responsible limit. She agreed that all activities of organic politic are good for students to train himself and take part in it. Student leader should not be mentally torture. And student should keep themselves informed about what is happening in our society. They should not hesitate from jumping into active part if the situation threaten the unity of the society. After she speak out all what she felt, she stood their silent. That politic and my aggressiveness make Leena very upset. I said; “I am sorry to disappoint you Leena”. Before leaving for home; I told her. ‘Leena I am not a perfect guy for you but what I know is that you are always save in my heart”. Then she smiled and say; “You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly”. And she bade me a good night kiss. Yes, who can resist a stunningly gorgeous preety girl with charm, seductive in her ways, and is interested in your own philosophy.!

Solicitous | Oh Silsila! How I Wish the day to come

2009-07-07T10:57:00.001+05:30

-Hausienmuan

During the hot summer day on June 30, 2009. I picked up my Economic text book to go for the usual routine. The day was strange. It was hot in the morning but the evening was cool. After the second page I went for the next and found this Economic is so tought to crack it. With the soaring temperature and the irregular light, I seem to dream a lot that day. I had thought of a Girl I knew, not another teenage crush or unrequited love. We were standing infront of the JNU SSS-I Auditorium . She was snowy fair skin, medium haired, bespectacled and was dress in our traditional attire, I guess that added to her beauty and appeal. Some naughty ZSP boys used to pass before us to used to catch a glimpses of her. At that moment I saw our Elders Pu Khakhai Zou, Pu K. Zou, Pu S.K Mung and Pu Hauliankap all armed with our traditional dress, waiting for the Chief-guest near the Auditorium entrance. Silsila asked me: “do you really thinks that Rahul Gandhi will grace our freshers meet as the chief-guest?”. And I answer Silsila, while pointing at our three elders: “Look at those mens, when they were united and work as one nothing seems impossible. It was Silsila first ZSP Fresher’s Meet-Cum-Social gathering in Delhi. She was always quite and stay close to me, trusting on my protection. My relation with Silsila was 2 Months old. We always used to send sms or call and meet once or twice in a month. Silsila came to know me better than any one had ever known me. I exposed my feeling to her that I had never revealed to any one else. I was basically a lonely solitary boy and Silsila was the first person who had ever been able to penetrate my inner shell. I led Silsila inside the hall and we sit in the first row. The meet was celebrated in style and with a different ambience. And it was held under the aegis of Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi, Delhi branch.

The introduction of fresher’s was the most attractive of the meet. Putting up a brave face, Silsila came forward to introduce herself, while I proudly watch from my seat. After her formal introduction was over, different questions were asked to her both from the host and the audience. The idea was to make the fresher’s feel at home. And when Silsila answer her last question: “ Zou kahi in Zou tangval ma ka pasal ding in ka dei hi”. The audience roared and I was in heaven while her words wholly melt my heart. The President Miss Mary address the audience and her note:..”I must confess, the road ahead willnot always be smooth. There will still be places of frustration and meandering point of bewilderment. There will be setback here and there. There will be those moments when our dreams will be shattered and all our hopes blasted. But we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious faith in the future. And as we continue accelerating our society in transition, we must be strong and courageous..” The president word touch us and the audience applauded her. A tear-drenched Silsila tightly hold my hand and it touch my heart.

Songs and music however dominated the programes. The longtime legendary Rock star Pu john Jamkhomang with the Red hot Chilli Peppers song “Hey oh, listen what I say oh, I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh..” evoked a spirited response from the audience. Silsila giggle when she saw Pu Lunminthang, Rev. G. K. Joshua and Pastor Lalpu tapped their feet and drummed their fingers to the tunes and burst out when Zoulun, Kamminthang, Dodou, Dr. David Lalpi etc “dance dance” on the floor. Musical bands and artists such as Papa Jimmy, Miss Betsy and Miss Chochong among other enthralled and kept alive the gathering throughout the session. The night was long and the spirit grew, the whole atmosphere was festivity, the freshet’s smile and the audience smile was enthralling. How nice it was to be on that day. The Zou ballads like “ kaput e tanu melhoi, Leel aw leel aw sanem, Zovakhu”.. change the environ more romantic. It emotionally touch all. I wanted to hug and kiss Silsila and when I look at her, her eyes tell it all. But as soon as my lips touched her lips. I was overwhelmed by a strange feeling and in a blink of an eye, I heared that anxious song of my neighbour: : “Suun mang in zong gel ing, phung ching ding tuibang kigawm na ding..”. Suddenly I lost sight of everything. With heavy heads and exhausted body I opened my eyes and found my Economice text book on my table. Oh! I am dreaming the future that I used to dream, I am dreaming the girl that I wish to have. I am having a dream where all Delhi Zou’s elders were united, where Clan-centric, sectarianism, egoism and dialectal feeling of work have long been gone in Delhi Zou society. Oh! How I wish the day to come.

We can make it happen the day. For this, we have got to give ourselves to the struggle, the struggle to overcome clan-centric, egoism and dialectal dividended, until the end. Nothing will be more tragic to stop accelerating our transition society at this point, in Delhi. We have got to see it throught and all need to here with our pawlpi, all should be concerned about it. We may not be personally attacked or affected like our leaders. But either we go up together or we go down together. Let us rise together with a greater spirits and stand with a greater determination. And let us move on with the flying flag of the ZSP and make ZSP and ZYO what it ought to be. And let us move forward hand in hand, beyond clan-centric, sectarianism, egoism and dialectal disintegration. Then We shall over come and the day will come..!

How Do I Served My People?

2009-06-21T18:29:00.001+05:30

“I add something special to Mannu life”
By: Hausienmuan

The day before the Easter Sunday 2009, I caught a bus to come to Lamka from Singngat. Since it was going to take around one and half hours to reach my destination. I had brought a book along to read on the way. I boarded the bus and sat down on my seat (Number 23) and next to me (Number 24) sit a man from my own village. After settling in, I began to read. The man who sat beside me was a middle aged man who cannot read or write, hailing from Behiang village and settling at Singngat for his childrens education. As soon as the bus moved he started talking with the man sitting behind us. Some ten minutes later, he was done and then for want of anything else to do, started peering into the book I was reading.

In between turning pages, I caught him looking at my book. I looked at him and before I could say anything, he asked me: “ Na laibu sim bang tangthu e?”. I told him tha book’s name and give him an outline of the plot. He seemed quite interested in getting to know the whole story. So, I told him the whole story again with some more details up till the point that I had read it. He seemed a little unhappy that I couldn’t tell him the entire story. He asked me if the same book will be found in Churachandpur. I told him it was possible. He said: “ Ka neulai apat Mahatma Gandhi tanchin kaza, aban kathei be ut hi”. I smiled and told him that even my grandfather do that. A little later, he turned to me with a piece of paper and asked me to write down the name of the book’s. I obliged, and write “ My experiment with truth an Autography of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi”. And told him that it was written by Mahatma himself and told him that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was his full name.

Curious, I asked him why he wanted the book’s details. He told me that he had a daughter name “Mannu”, who was in Class-IX at St. Joseph School Singngat and that he wanted his daughter to read good books and become “Big” in the future. I told him I knew Mannu well and she is bright and told him to encourage her to read not only her school subject but also read from some out book. We reached our destination (Lamka) and went in our separate ways. But that illiterate man thrist for knowledge, make me wonder the whole day and I began hunting the book’s myself in every book store in Churachandpur but could not found it at all.

The day I pack my luggage for Delhi. I called Mannu to my house and present the book’s (My own book) to read for herself and to read it to her father. Forty days has passed since I reached Delhi and on June 14, 2009 evening I got one STD call from Home: “Na laibu simnop huai kasa mama hi,…, a English katheilou tam hileh jong ka phat tuampi hi..blah..blah.blah..!”. Mannu thanked me that day for my book and I knew my small contribution did bear fruits, its make Mannu happy and satisfied her father. And I smiled, and all sort of hometown memories haunt me and I began to miss my hometown.

Serving and loving the Zou (Our nation/ tribe) doesn’t only mean donating one Volleyball, football or donating money. Its also means helping its people, helping the Zou down-trodden people, its also means adding something special to someone’s life in our own small way. At times we needn’t do a lot to know all. All we need is a little patience and we might end up adding something special to someone’s life. I hope to run someday into Mannu again and tell her, under the moonlit night, the story of the new book I have read from beginning to end, “The Quest for freedom and dignity”.

Note: This articles was write up in respond to the call and sms received from 9990855126 on June 4, 2009, about the work I have done for the Zou’s people.

The Face of the Zou Metropolitan Society

2009-06-11T14:54:00.000+05:30

Hausienmuan Munluo
It is an unfortunate fact that most of our elders could not see the reason of our pawlpi’s (Student and Social) tragic illness- that is the frequent clashes and the cold war type terrorist disturbance in our society. Even worse some elder had planted seeds of “Revenge and hatred” toward the pawlpi’s and its leaders. Verbal punch are so frequent and deep rooted in our society. Each and every individual is getting tired of this tragic illness, but could not shun them totally. No word I found it befitted, can express its actual horrible state and its dreadful consequences. It seems there is no intellect individual to protect and shield us in this civilized age.

The root cause of the internecine feuds, in my humble opinion is, ideology difference and egoism of our elders. The Pre-ZOD Zou society had its share of moderate, political and cultural revolutionary and extremist type of ideologies as well, but the Post-ZOD Zou society is facing an outburst of a new unwanted ideology i.e. Clan-ism and Egoism. Unfortunately, our present soci-political environs are contaminated with petty minded people who further sectarian, clannish and dialectal feeling to secure power, boast his-self and show supremacy. Giving no regard to our forefather ideals of Zou unity, our parents body needs of intellectual individual and not to forget the timeless ideologies of our pioneer in Delhi. Swapping side for the sake of one clan leader and verbal punch of our leaders have become the order of our day.

Some so called Zou lover intended to leads his juniors by means of violence, propagating propaganda about the identity of our leaders, asking the faith of one is brewing up in our society. It’s really hateful when people ask about one real identity, this should not be practice in the future and especially in drunkenness. We all love Zou and there is no question about it. Well, it is always better late than never, we should be optimistic rather than pessimist and should learned from the simple Zoudawn people on how they well organized their society and in all how humble they were in their opinion and idea.

During my recent tour to some Zodawn village like Phaibem, Lunmual, Kullian etc. I found out how these people well organized their socio-political and religious welfare. No idealism and ego clash. The villages chief and elders was always ready to sacrifices their ego and ideals for the betterment of their society and villages. Can not our elders learn something from these people. ? Our society in Delhi revolves around personalities of some elder who may either be charismatic or clan- Leader. It is time that the students and elders must learned egocentric, clan-centric and sectarianism would not awaken and rise our community. It is time we must learned clannish and dialectal feeling of work will leads us nowhere in this metropolitan city. And it is time Zou intellectual come out and ponder this issue, and every individual should come in the mainline to accelerated the process of our society in transition. May be we fall once so low, but let us see how high we can rise in the future.

Ka thang e... Ka nam...

What Zo Lit Boards can Learn from Paupu the Hero

2009-05-01T18:14:00.000+05:30

Carey Suante

Paupu The Hero is a movie that enthrals young and old alike. This movie is actually a Thai movie called Ong-bak starring Tony Jaa “the next Bruce Lee”. The original Thai movie is great in itself, though it lacks a decent plot, here I want to focus on the dubbed version in Zou dialect from Manipur.The fact that a motley crew of dubbing artists, who did voice-overs for the movie turned a Thai movie into a Zou movie in itself is creative enough.But what the dubbed movie achieved is something they themselves might not even be aware of.Paupu The Hero is especially popular amongst children. Even in New Delhi. A cousin's son loved the movie so much that he practically was mimicing the dialect wherever he goes! More importantly, he is therefore learning to speak Zou. If not for Paupu The Hero, it would not have been possible for him to learn Zou.

Now even my daughter M, is always saying things like "Nang bang bawl a kinei la zawlpa!". (Popular phrase from the dubbed movie).You see Paupu The Hero may have achieved far greater impact than a literature board coming out with a couple books a year!

Let me list out some points why any Zo Lit Board* should learn from Paupu the Hero.Utilize more powerful media:Our Zo lit boards seem to think that literature can only be taught and learned via books alone. Printed materials will always be there but there are not always that effective. More people are now watching TV than reading books. People prefer watching movies to reading scholarly literature articles. Zo lit boards should therefore use the more powerful media like movies, songs (videos), internet, etc in trying to popularise and reach out to more people. Do our Zo lit boards even have a website? Don't tell me. I know the answer.

Universal Theme/subject:
Zo lit boards should utilize universal themes and subjects to propagate the dialect they want to promote. Had those creative youngsters dubbing the Paupu The Hero pasted 'Zou ham hi Zomite ham tahtah hi' on the CD cover, they would not have the enjoyed the level of popularity and success the dubbed movie enjoyed. Instead they created this for fun. And fun is universal enough. It was fun learning Zou dialect whilst watching Paupu the Hero.

The theme/subject is as important,if not more, as the message:
Zo people really have no tact. We say what we mean and mean what we say. The Zo lit boards ought to be more tactful when broadcasting message or propagating views and opinions. Don't simply say ' 'Zou ham hi Zomite ham tahtah hi', weave that message around an interesting story. An interesting story like Ong-Bak! Paupu the Hero is successful mainly due to the popularity of the original movie itself, the thrilling action sequences to be precise.

Don't ignore less powerful media:
Although Zo Lit Boards should pay more attention to powerful media like TV, videos, radio, Internet etc, they should not ignore less powerful ones like books and magazines! Do publish more books and magazines but please change the subject. Write a fiction, interview an interesting professional, writing shocking stories, love stories, sad stories, etc. The idea is to captivate attention by involving the readers emotionally and by catering to their every senses. Write these with your correct grammar and word-combinations. (These two elements seem to be the most problematic elements of Zo literatures!)What do you think? Care to share your thought on this?

*Zo Lit Board = Zo Literature Board representing the host of literature boards we have

ZSP Delhi Branch Press Communique:

2008-09-18T14:52:00.001+05:30

Office of the
Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi, Delhi Branch
57/R, Lok Sabha Qtrs, CPWD Colony
Vasant Vihar, New Delhi - 110 057

PRESS COMMUNIQUE
September 14, 2008

The immediate horrifying incident executed by some miscreant or
should we say – "Mel thei lou pawlte" (As the local media of
Churachandpur called them) at the residence of Pu T. Hangkhanpao,
President United Zou Organisation (UZO), General Head Quarters at
Nehru Marg, Churachandpur on the fateful September 14, 2008 morning
at around 5.30 AM is a real shock for the Zou community as well as
public of not only Manipur but the whole world.

The perpetrator( s) of such extreme adversity by hurling a Chinese
made hand-grenade at the residence of a community leader. No doubt
reflexes the degree of dispersion and also an act of cowardice. Such
act of terror to a supreme leader of the Zou community is not
something new, but, a repeated happenings – since 1995 April at the
then UZO President Pu (L) Thangkhanlal residence. In all cases the
perpetrators are seemingly not a very different group (read Pawlpi).

This undesirable IRA type attempt assassination calls for all the
educated right thinking Zou community to ponder again why they has
been victimized not only once but repeated times. The most logical
inference that can be sum up from the repeated humiliation would be –
do we deserve this, what are our short comings. The Zou, like the
other communities have a dignified moral, values, a unique culture,
tradition and social identity which is equally unique from the rest
of the communities residing. We want to be respected and honoured
exactly as the way we do to others.

Therefore, the Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi, Delhi Branch and the Zou
community residing in Delhi and NCR express our strongest disapproval
to the act of atrocities and terror in any form. We strongly condemn
the coward act in the heinous crime at the most stringent and
strongest possible term and whole heartedly supported the bold move
taken by the United Zou Organisation GHQ, Zou Youth Organisation GHQ,
Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi GHQ and Zomi Council.

We condemn, demand and question the motive behind the attack and
clarify the matter in public and apologies in traditional norms to
the Zou people and their organizations. Since, such an act on the
head of the tribe organization (President) deeply hurt the patriotic
and trusteeship sentiment and will only widen communal divide and
misunderstandings.

We called all non-state actors to cease from the path of such violent
acts as it disturbed the peaceful students and conducive environment
for free and peaceful education as is essential for students who are
the future leaders.

We appeal to the public that such unwise drastic and brute action
should not be repeated again among any tribe organization in future
for the communal harmony, peaceful co-existence and tranquility in
our society.

Let peace prevail in our land.

Mizoram Teenage Queen Beauty Contest to be held

2008-07-15T19:05:00.000+05:30

Teenage Beauty Queen pageant exclusively for girls from Southern Mizoram will be held soon, reported Ralvengtu Evening Daily Newspaper from Lunglei City.
The Organising Board set up include Chief Organiser- Lalthansiama, DAO, Chairman- K. Zothankhuma Venglai, Vice Chairman- Ramthlanpuia Chanmari, Secretary- C.Lalrinawma Bazarveng, Asst. Secy- Lalremruati Farmveng, PC Lalhmingmawia Chanmari, Treasurer- K.Vanlalruati Rahsiveng,
Advisers- Saithanga, H.Lalzarliana, Thlamuana, Dr. Liantluanga, Patron- Lalrinsanga (Dy. Speaker), ZH Ropuia (Minister), and 15 Comtt. members.
South Mizoram Queen Beauty Contest is likely to be held on October this year.
Tricky question: Why make the beauty contest exclusively for girls from the South only? It could well be named Mizoram Teenage Beauty Queen that will include the whole state, otherwise what the board intend seems to be just ‘Southern Mizoram Teenage Beauty Queen’.

However, such move is an indicator of Mizo society moving on to a more glamorized society than ever before.

O..! Churachandpur

2008-05-30T22:55:00.000+05:30

By: Ninglun Hanghal

Quoting popular introduction, Churachandpur (sic) was the most peaceful district in Manipur, officially and acknowledged by the inhabitants and those from outside as well. Indeed it was true. At least 10-schedule tribe with various non-tribals resides in the district without any breaking news or ‘headlines’ to be reported on violence and killing or worst communal violence. But that was history now and fondly remembered by many, as ‘those were the days’.

In terms of development and growth the district was recorded to be more advance than the others specifically the district headquarter town. Sadly enough, life was fast and ‘modern’. The town was infamous for modern diseases like HIV / AIDs. Since post independence and beginning of the 70s, people have slowly underwent a process of change in terms of socio – economy. In the late 90s and ever since the clash of the ‘ethnic brothers’ in 1997, the town and its surroundings became the hot spot of communo – ethnic war zone. Along with, this decade also saw the emergences of political consciousness among the tribal groups in the district.

This political consciousness have originated basically from experiences of social exclusion and concept of nationalism / nation building brought in by education. This was further aggravated by the fear of losing control over resources, as community resources ownership was no longer possible in the modern governance system. For administrative conveniences and easy management of the ‘backward people’, tribals were classified into various ‘recognized tribes’ with nomenclatures on the basis of language, traditional dress etc. Thereby serving as tribal identity and the tribals too identify themselves based on these classifications. Subsequently as a tribal, the need to emphasized and protect ‘identity’ becomes so strong that it led to an extent of militarizing themselves to stand as a distinct tribal group.

Many have written and talked about Churachandpur limping back to normal and is picking up the pieces of the post ethnic violence. Yet, it is quite evident that the scare of the ethnic violence still remains and the after effect seems to breed more ‘conflict’. Whatever was there, both the social order and development paused ever after ‘97. The once upon a time happening town became still and lifeless. Five o’clock in the morning is too early, and five o’clock in the evening is late, and by 6 p.m the whole town is as silent as a graveyard. The only difference is that in a graveyard you can hear sounds of the souls, while in this town one can hear sounds of bullets amidst silences. Issues such as conflict and communal topics became too hot to be discussed (and if you dare touch, it burns you). At times the sounds of silence were too loud.

Rs 20 crore vanished in thin air with the recent decision of the government to withdraw the mini secretariat project due to the tussle among the public leaders over the location to set up the building. The project was drop but was diverted as the project money was already sanctioned (as per media report). Drop the project, was the best decision the Government could come up with, simple..!.and that was the conflict management strategy from the side of the authorities represented by public leaders, caretakers of secular democracy. In this particular decision the common mass will never come to know where it was diverted and for what other purpose the money has gone. It was always opined that conflict have always been propagated by the non-state actors, specifically in this part of the state, where communal violence was understood as an act of some underground activities. It is true to a certain level that the armed groups propagate communal tension. But here the interesting part is the tussle between the ‘community leaders’.

Some of the models of conflict resolutions or conflict management include use of police force or military forces, giving more autonomy to certain sections, negotiations with outfits in armed conflict areas and one of the most common in regions like North East India is through development packages.

The main reason, which the Government has provided in the case of the mini secretariat project, was the public leaders. Here the government and the civil society working on conflict could now add one more strategy that is resolution through leaders, say, “management of community leaders”. Another important aspect in tribal areas is the local governance system like the village council, of which many believed that issue such as conflict could very well be settled by the village council. But, of course provided village council still does exist today.

EXILED FROM NO MAN'S LAND

2008-05-29T14:50:00.000+05:30

-Lunneo Zou

With anger depressed and emotional out-burst, I lie down in my bed, take a deep breath and dream of a land-my Motherland, where I can spread my wings to exercise liberty without any hindrances and discriminations. Weary of being called duplicate foreigners or second class citizen treatment meted to me even by the beggars, the illiterate auto drivers& bus conductors who consider me as barbaric & inferior to them, I decided to return to my root to live peacefully rather than living in a splendid life without honor and dignity in the metropolitan city.

Childhood memories are still a fresh like morning dew, where the Church bell is the only vibration or sound pollution, which are the music to every ear at night. The calm, breeze & cheerful night that we enjoyed, merry making & morning jogging with friends and midnight social gatherings are considered as a natural occasions. December is the most special and blessed one where everyone in foreignâ€™s land came home like birds returning to their nest at night. I still remember, my parents calling me to spare time for the winter vacation to visit my grandpaâ€™s place in spite of tight schedule. Thirty days of winter vacations is like spending a day, betting goodbye to see again next year.

Time fleets by, but not everyone make a positive transformation and my mother land, Manipur- Zoland/Kukiland is not exception. The day to day administration and civil society total broke down or paralyzed. State machinery & other social organization become irresponsible and tools of the malefactors. The govt. is in chaos & law and order are tremendously deteriorated. Thereâ€™s not only a loss in market productions or properties, but also irrecoverable loss of human life, that can not be compensated in cash or kind. The genocide committed in Yugoslavia, Iraq, or civil War in Somalia, Cambodia, Kenya or other African countries not only make headlines to every newspaper, we now are the daily hot topics to every media or discussions.

With the existence of Zomi-Taliban (the term coined by Pu Fidel Haupu), things turn from bad to worse. The only motive is to crush the peace loving Zou peoples, thereby losing innocent life for the cause of Zomi â€˜SWARAJâ€™. Their patience and tolerance for greater interest and unification are construed as their weaknesses. The atrocities committed by them are unfathomable. Though the Wolf (vested interest Politicians) within the Zou community forgives, how could the Lamb forget? The British policy of â€˜Divide and Ruleâ€™ Politics is like a peanut in comparison to the â€˜Divide and Crushâ€™ Politics perpetrated by the Zomi-Taliban to the Zou community. The way the British fragmented our ancestral land into different parts/region or country, Zou community is at the dawn of fragmentation into different tribes, groups or clans. Guess, the accomplishment of minus politics of the Zouâ€™s fragmentation by the Zomi-Taliban and Zomi-Council is paramount than acquiring legitimate homeland.

Under the defacto leaders, it is mentioned that no outfit can be formed other than Zomi-Taliban within the Zomi umbrella. But the Zomi-Taliban is none other than the up gradation of â€˜Paite-Commandoâ€™ â€“ a resistance group against the Kukis. The formation of ZRA does not get the mandate of all the community who accepted Zomi as their imposed nomenclature. As a result various outfits like ZDV, USRA, & ZRF are the products of the maltreatment and minus politics perpetrated by their mother. They neither get the right to rule the other community nor authority or license to kill whosoever against their self centred policies and programme. Since the wise or learned persons are the soft target causing the strong survive and weak/wise perish, the Zomi-Taliban transformed one of the most elevated and beautiful Zo-Hills into a â€˜state of natureâ€™.

With the passage of time, the Zou peoples who are suppressed, tortured, rape, persecuted and made subservient to the Zomi-Taliban are now conscious and pledge to pay blood to blood and life to life. People wary of the grave consequences, though the corrupt surveyor claims it as extinct, sooner or later, the dormant Zomi volcano will be erupted and the construction of Talibanâ€™s Babel Monument will cease their work. Some will shed tears glad fully, do others mournfully, for they will show what the Zomi-Taliban sowed.

The constant meddling in Zou internal affairs is the last nail in the coffin of the Zomi politics. No constitutional/political term can defined the untimely election of the United Zou Organization. Itâ€™s neither mid-term nor by-election, as the elected leaders are physically & mentally sound and some more years left for the expiry of their tenure. It is none other than a political coup or self style ordinance pass by the Songtal Court (SC). The elected UZO leaders who got the mandate of the Zou peoples are dethroned by the selected leaders. They now enjoyed their powers and office during the pleasure of the Zomi-Taliban by pleasing and praising them in their den, negating the plight and grievances of their people. The blood of the Zou peoples, innocent lives and its ancestral land are the dowry in marriage to the Zomi-Taliban. Money tics are the rule of law, where justice is like a commodity which the â€˜havesâ€™ and sympathizers of the Zomi-Taliban can only possess. Who authorize them to determine the election of UZO? Who made them to rule and judge over the Zou peoples? They need to learn from their past experience that the maltreatment or torturing by other UGs to the Paites is not different than what they did to the Zou peoples. To avoid explosion of the Zomi Volcano they should completely abstain from interfering in the affairs of the Zou politics.

In general, minority bore the brunt of the sectarian and vested politics, which have no constant position but flexible decision to bend to the tune of the changing wind. Though no visa is required, whosoever cross the artificial boundary are under constant vigil or suspicion. Guess, anybody who believes in re-incarnation will pray that he will not be re-incarnated in a minority group. They are the victims of power game politics, every mother shed their tears to mourn their near and dear ones. To live and lead a peaceful life in a buffer zone-No Manâ€™s Land is next to hell.

With all these intolerable situations I now realized and woke up bursting Noâ€¦.! Noâ€¦â€¦! No human beings have spare life. How can I dream even in my wildest dream to return back to my root where my rights or liberty are curtailed- the right to speak the truth or exercise liberty under the surveillance of the gun. Iâ€™m exile from No Manâ€™s Land- a land where the law of jungle prevails. Iâ€™m a citizen of this country enjoying equal rights & freedom, so Iâ€™ll try to make the best used of it. No matter what comes, Iâ€™ll take each day as it comes, serve my master with humility and live a secure life in dignity rather than drowning in Zomi-Talibanâ€™s trouble water.

The spirit of the slained Zou innocent groan for Justice Is it a delay or deny

Thawnlou ding Zomi Sisan Luang..... Fidel Haupu

Be a conservative,communist,Marxist,liberal or whatever you termed yourself, thereâ€™s one thing that we have in common-i,e the love for oneâ€™s community or nation.Gones are the days that our fore-father courageously fought the British with great vigour, to defend the interest and sovereignty of our community or nation.They neither bow down to the British nor surrender and proved equal to every threat posed to them, thereby the British failed to proved that the sun never set in their empire.

Many instances prove that the fighting spirit or the unity maintained by our fore-father are not inherited to the ancestors.Have they been in the 21st century, the Zou community will be one of the most unified and prosperous society in the world. They have shown the British that the Zous are the Kshatriyas community of the Zo Suante.

Considering the political imbroglio within the Zou community in the light of the present situation, many questions are left yet to answer.Do are life worthless than others in manipur?? Why our blood bleeds in vain?? Do we die for no reason?? If the 24th June 1997 saikul incident escalated to a full fledged communal tension between the Kukis and Paites(pro-zomi), the 50+ Zou innocent butchered mercilessly during the kuki-paite conflict need a fresh attention.

From its inception till the existence of more than 50 years, the Govt.of Manipur/India didnâ€™t make any confusion between the ZOU/ZOMI. If Pu Hangkhanpau,Adviser,ZRO failed to make the Government understand about ZOU/ZOMI(United Zomi Organisation), he has to consult his predecessor or if he cant tackle the problem,owing moral responsibility,he has to resign without surrendering or mortgaging our United Zomi Organisation for 5 years MLA.

Everythings has a season and every action has equal and opposite reaction. If USSR can be disintegerated or the Irish Republican Army succumbed to the pressure of the British government,the present Zomi-Taliban will annihilate themselves in the days to come.Who has binded us in Zomi-Ideology or ZRA.??? The Government of India and Pakistan make every efforts to heal the wounds and remove the scars of partition through peoples to peoples contact .Theefore it s a high time for the Zomi-Taliban to heal the wounds of 1997 massacre to the Zou peoples. Before constructing a skyscraper, it is wise to laid a firm foundation, in such away that the Zomi movement has a long way to go, if Justice is denied to the slained Zou innocents, someday ,some where in their journey, they will realize and regret the ROAD THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN.

The spirit of more than 50 Zou innocence groan for Justice, are you ready to deliverâ€¦???? Under the Zomi-Talibanâ€™s rule, where the court summon a person to settle a dispute without giving the right /chance to speak or utter a word,Justice is not only delay but completely denied,Justice will always be a distance dream if you didnâ€™t volunteer yourself to deliver. The blood of our slained brethens calls for Justice, will you deny...????!!!!!

Oh...! Mother you are just great.

It was when I first reached Delhi way back in 2004 I first heard Mother`s Day. Then on,mother`s Day always breaks me up. The message are everyplace to tell my mother how much I love her. But I can`t, except in my thought and heart. I dread the day seeing mothers and daughter/son together but today I had a thought….I`m going to write a poem for my mothers then I feel like i am participating in mother`s Day.

As a child, I always thought that mothers were simply mother.In my young mind, I never thought that my mother will make a huge sacrifices for my sake. Oh..! Mother,you are just great. Your life(Motherhood) has a way of sneaking up on you. One day, you talk about going to the doctor and buying medicine. But the next day you never buy the medicine and visit the doctor because budget is limited and soyou think it is better that we get our need first,pay our school fee, e.t.c and save for us incase we get sick,dishes are spilling out of the kitchen sink,we color all the wall,fight each other,lost our sock and books.Because of the ever growing responsibility, you begin pushing your need further down on the list.Eventually, you are just trying to make it through another day without losing your temper or mind. That is no way to live.And deep inside,you know that.You are once the great singer and choir groups,you leads your friends like the four angels-Haute, chochong and all.You once shine like them. But now you can`t stop long enough to catch your breath. Why ? For my sake. Oh.! Mom you are just great.

Yes,mother are everything for us.When we are small..Our lives revolves around her. For everything we need we call mother. To protect us from all danger we want her around us. To kiss away our wound we run to her. But mother are the one on whom we put our blame for all our failures thought she wouldn`t miss a slightest opportunities to praise and encourages us. It is tought how she borne our temper tantrums when we were a teenagers.And how hard we must have made her life behaving so rude and difficult. Mother day is the right time to apologies for all the trouble and suffering we gave her.So be it..!

Today,the world would honour mother. Our church will be recognizing and honoring mother on this special day. Some would honor mother for their sacrifices for the family. For mother it will be a wonderful day of celebration and the most joyous day of their life. Mother`s day,however, is a painful day for mother who are childless.They will receives a gift warmly from someone childs. But deep within their heart they are sad,wish if it is their own children. For those struggling with infertility, this is one of the most dreaded days of the year so be sure to be sensitive this mother`s day to those who are in pain and hurts. There are many couple around us who are struggling to have children’s ,this we don`t know about. I leave you with these concluding remarks. Say a prayer for them as they face the daily heartbreak that accompanies such a loss. And lastly,for all mother I sing " Ka tun ngai ken milthei ngai lou,ahing vaiha na aw nem nou khu..ka tun ka ngai ka gel doh chiang ka siang a um bang in ngai ing…"

BANDH- STOP THE SILENT KILLERS

2007-11-11T18:53:00.000+05:30

Hausienmuan Munluo
Manipur `jewel of India ` said Jawaharlal Nehru,the first Prime minister of India . For Him,it may be the landscape, the multi-culture that exist or our thought that determine us as entities. However, what will Nehru say if he is to comment again this insurgency-torn Manipur. On the law and order front, Manipur has earned itself the titles of being the `worst state` in the country. The chief minister Ibobi has been the most controversial Chief minister,who has handled(or miss-handled) the maximum bandhs,agitation and blockades,making unfulfilled promises to negotiate.

A recent report published in the Imphal free press gives us an idea of the total numbers of ultras in Manipur. Imagine,more than 20 UG outfits operating in our state Manipur.They UG one way or the other disrupted the state functioning and ‘halt’ public life. Again,the student bodies,different organization who resorted to bandh to demonstrate it`s own anger against the government. How many precious day has been lost ? Do bandh make us achieved our goal.? Did it really gave us development.?

In an ethnocentric place, should resorting to bandh be entertained? Bandh are the most peaceful means of demonstrating public anger against a public outrage or nuisance. They are also the most effective means of focusing public attention on issue of national concern.That should be ideal. But what happen really ? Bandh bring life to a standstill. The result is total disruption of normal life. It is a silent killer of economy,education and unity. In this context, are bandh the most effective means of resolving public or national issue ? And when they came one too many,don`t they lose their purpose?

For what is a bandh in effect ? A total close-down of education(school and colleges),commercial and creative activities. All public services, barring essential ones,get disrupted. Life came to a standstill. For the individual wage-earner, rickshaw-puller and vegetables vendors, in addiction to hardship, it means a loss of the day`s wages or one day hunger. For business house and trader it is a loss of one day`s business or production which converted into hard cash runs into lakhs of rupee. For our nation,it is a loss of man hours.

When so much is at stake in a bandh,why should we resort to it so frequently, so often ? I fthe purpose is to find solution to our issues plaguing us,then bandh are not the answer for four solid reason. First,it is a passive response to a crisis because “it fail to generate and mobilize social energies or focus public concern in a positive way. Second,our politician got used to (calling) bandh that often they do not back up bandh and never heed it. Third, a bandh is an expression of frustration and helplessness rather than of active concern diverted at achieving specific result. Last, a bandh “offer a false substitute for positive action,a ritualistic escape route,a way of evading issues,not facing them squarely”.

What,then,is required is a positive alternative that can motivate the people to be active participants in the fight against such issues as landmines,rapecase,killing,corruption sixt-scheduled etc. And this can be done by organizing public education campaigns against issues of general concern.

In conclusion I may say that let`s bandh the silent killer and find a new way of demonstrating our anger. With an antagonism Chief minister in Manipur,bandh would not execute our goal(Issue). We call bandh and make our poor section suffer, to evade our issue the government negotiate, it is the same history that repeat “an economy bankrupt of corrupt government unfulfilled promise”

Politics and Religion-Preach politics in the Church

2007-11-09T23:28:00.000+05:30

Hausienmuan Munluo

According to common perception,a huge gulf exists between politics and religion.Apparently,no doubt,politics deal with things which is generally a conglomeration of untruth,power,and crafty manoeuvres,ethic, which acording to me,means faith in the higher impulse of life,in necessary. Where as religion is based upon abstract ideals and truth. Politics implies plan/strategy,religion involves faith. Religion is basically a matter of instinct and politics that of reason. But these are the broad characteristics of politics and religion which have meeting places also- and the first meeting places is in the human mind and nature themselves. It is the human mind which proves facts,make plan and start believing in them and it is the mind which nurtures faiths. So,it is necessary to make their co-existence feasible.

However,we consider politics as involving the recognition and conciliation of opposing interest within a given unit of rule,and religions as the root of most of the profound and permanent values of life,we cannot quiet dismiss the idea of the relationship between politics and religion out of hand. Indeed, our problem today arises because we are possing the wrong questions. The question should not be whether religion and politics are related to each other,but what should be their precise relationship.?

The Bible deals in politics,there is a fight for supremacy between two nations,in the New testament there is the Roman politics and the divided Jew’s politics. Even God involves in election means appointed the king and leaders,give law and commanded the people to obey the law. It is clear from the Bible that without good politics, no nation prosper,no religion expands. Englighten and respected political leaders- Gandhi or Maulana Azad-claimed to draw inspiration from religion,and demanded separate homeland for it. Gandhi considered the ethical values imbuing every religion to be an important part of politics; that was what he means when he said that politics divorced from religion becomes debasing. Religion to Gandhi did not mean sectarianism. It implied a belief in ordered moral government of the universe. In this sense,religion is much more than a matter between man and his maker ; It is apart from a mode of worship,also a set of ideas and values.

In the west much blood has been shed on account of theoligical differences which automatically engaged the politician and the state. Europe has a history of domination of Pope over the state and even now Christian political parties exist in many countries. When the west and European countries related politics and religion so much and when the Bible contain many political gladiator or nation politics and deals so much in politics,why do our church leaders kept aloof from politics ? The church leaders failed the people here,they divided politics and religion in the church/pulpit. Neglecting politics they strikes to win the human mind where politics and religion meet each other, without politics, its like neglecting half side of the human body.And,neglecting ideas and values.

To awaken our generation/community, preachers must preach politics in the church.Without reforming our politics,religion influence in us will go nowhere, and our community would debase in the future.

Thus partial merger of institutionalised religion and instutionalised politics into a monolithic forum is necessary in our society,it would create a transition situation and would filled that vaccum created between us, by those orthodox different denomination. In practice member/preacher of every church need to associate with those of other to promote/uplift their peoples,class,professional and interest through,say,organisation of workers,occupationalgroups,writers,etc etc.. Why should not the church apply politics and religion in the interest of intellectual freedom of the members and of more abiding basis of its unity. They can be merged into a single monolithic entity without emasculating the church itself….

After speaking out all what she feel she stood there silent:My purpose was not to start this poor suffering childrens and politics to Sylvia but to ask her if she love me or not,on that day I need not ask that question again,when the eyes tell it all then the heart speak out.Then its time we bade a good night kiss..!

Alcoholism-Traditional intact or family harmony

2007-11-09T23:16:00.000+05:30

Hausienmuan Munluo
In his work on "Debunking zuu and zou sterotype",David
lalpi[zokuamthawn vol:IV No:9 oct.issue 2006]emphatically said the
words Alcoholism is as extreme as teetotalism".It is extreme indeed.It
is critically in question.Alcoholism need to be analyzed not only from
trditional culture or western culture/society,but from socio-cultural
and economic perspective of the drinker as well.However I am no
scholar to go deep into such sensitive issue.I am constrained to bring
to light some fact on the effects of alcoholism in the larger interest
of society.

In our society an issue like Liquor prohibition will be found both
desirable as well as feasible,but in a real society,not withstanding
the possible calamaties effects of liquor,the issues generates lot of
heat and sweat.One can come across numerous cases where the so called
individual's right to drive has resulted in collapse of family harmony
and health.People resorting to such mean things like
wife-beating,using abusive terms,neglecting children,selling
properties and last but not the least endangering their lives as a
result or cause of liquor addiction are quite common in our
society.Should these people be allowed to encroach upon other's right
to live life harmoniously-however close they might be?
Excess of everything is bad,but drinking of alcohol is completely
different to dringking of other liquid.Alcohol can be addicted,has
numerous very bad affects.The habit of drinking is started out of
individual preference and it can be stop only when one comes to
realise it's repercussions.In a backward society where creating
awareness about the possible repercussion of liquor comsumption was
not upto the mark;The trends of liquor addiction is
increasing/rising.So,it is better for the Missionary or the church
elders to came with the so called Taboo, "don't drink" instead of a
good solution like "drink's moderately".

The Bible offers several very clear perspectives on the subjects of
Alcohol.The Bible explicitly condems Alcohol. "Drunkenness is
condemned in no uncertain terms[proverb.20:1,23:20] and is listed as
evidence of the sinful nature[Gal.5:21]. Paul writes that drunkenness
will not inherit the kingdom of God and issue a straight forward
command "Do not get drunk with wine'[Ephesian.5:18].

To end with alcoholism-the driving social virus of the zo's is
definitely on the rise[zudawn tam deu deu,numei/pasal]Zos society is
on the threshold of transition/reformation the process of which has to
be accelerated at full tilt.Reaffirming our commitment to the
cause,let us strive for the best. And let us remember my Pupu
favourite Bible verses "Zuu in mi a dawnkho vagiap hi".

Freedom of expression V/S Taliban Moral police:

Freedom of expression V/S Taliban Moral police:

" Intellectual leader/person should not behave like Taliban moral police"

Hausienmuan Munluo

Communication of ideas has been basic to the very development of civilisation and society.Exchange of thought contributes to the growth of the individual`s personality even it helps him or her to understand the society of which he or she is a part,and,perhaps contributes a little to that society.However,complete freedom of expression has never been entertained in any society.

But no sane person would disagree if one requires freedom of expression to stop short of abusing or maligning any person or community.Some people clings to old beliefs:It gives them a sense of security(?): they look with suspecion on anything that might cause a change.And yet change is essential for a society to be dynamic.Chang can happen in two folds-Push/pull some one or to be push/pull by some one.It is here that our taliban moral police look with suspicion when one talk of change to be pull by someone. With that suspicion some so called thinker or intellectual person started criticism the nationalism view of change and growth without having something positive to offer.

Freedom of expression relates to purveying information(Media) and the creative aspect which involves the expression of an individual ideas. It takes a brave individual to speaks out-pour fresh ideas and views uncaring of consequences on a personal level.

If authority/individual bowed to the wishes of each and every group to ban this or that work because it hurts someone,there would come a time where nothing is worth reading and viewing. Of course,everyone has the right to protest if it feels injuried but it is wrong to insist that its views alone should be given important and anything opposing it should not be expressed. In a broad minded(Nam lunte)class expression of opinion against the pawlpi or nation or its behaviour should be entertained,wheather it is against or in support of any agenda or resolution wheather public can access or not.But in our society there is someone who clings to the ideas that his or her groups alone can decide what is wrong and what is right.They are the true viruse in our nation building policy(Nampi khanmoboh) and they are equally rigid in the view that nobody has a right to question what is held sacred by the leaders/pawlpi or believers...!!!!!!!

In an environment of liberal tolerance there would be freedom of expression for all point of views and room enought for dissent with all oppinions, wheather held by fanatics,intellectuals or the ordinary man from the streets (like myself). The right and wrong of free expression are not absolute.What may be right today or wrong may not be the same tomorrow.Perspective change,social values change: free expression of idea can change those values,and one can only hope the change is for the better.

**There is a small right-wing(say),very conservative,fanatic and communal party in Delhi zou society and they act like the Taliban moral police.They do this kind of things(Personal criticism) quite often.They think they are intellectual leaders but their views or oppinion cannot even penetrate their ethono-centric heart.They shout some small issue for publicity where even the insurgent(ZDV) remain silent.And call their opponent women/pig like the VHP or Bajrang dal even when they lack the courage to come out from their ethono-centric and communal circle. Lamdang...!!!

On Good Friday- Barabbas or Jesus….?

On Good Friday- Barabbas or Jesus….?

Hausienmuan Munluo

Barabbas or Jesus ? Pilate asked them,For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. `Barabbas` they answered. This is what had happened in the governor house more than a thousand years ago and happen today here in our everyday life. Thousand of years ago ‘Barabbas’ they chooses and executed Jesus.Today,what should we choose and executed “Barabbas or Jesus…?. Thousand years ago there is the Nicean creeds,a great Constantine empire(Christian empire) in which symbolic shadow we stand today(can be claim), then the crusader follows,all came as a joyous daybreak for the Christian to end the long night of their captivity.

But thousand years later,we still asked for Barabbas and executed Jesus. We still choose to ignore Jesus and dwell in this worldly pleasure-drinks alcohol (wine - beer) partying, and neglected to serve Him.We still buy new Mobile hand-set model,TV set or new clothes instead of paying the tithes. I really wonder how our Church(ZCF) survives with that 28 tithes out of it`s 400 members. Really God works…

The Bible offers several very clear perspectives on the subjects of tithes. It explicitly demands to give to God what is God’s (Mat 22:21) and issue a straight forward command : “Bring the whole tithes into the storehouse..”(Malachi 3:10). God asked us “Will a man rob God..? and said, “yet you rob me,and ask, `How do we rob you ?..” In tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:8). And put a great challenges before us `Test me in this`. Yet we may have say, `Why should I give when I can`t even satisfies my self and families..? It is because He paid the price on Good Friday.

“Eloi,eloi lama sabachthani” more than a thousand years ago the son of God cried this painful words in the cross at Golgotha. His mother beneath Him with tears in her eyes looking at her suffering son the Lord,`chimo beidong gimthua a kap` and waiting for her son “siding a laitat”. He paid the price in the most difficult ways and He still bears the burden of humanity,so that we are save and serves him.

In our everyday life,we are making decision and choices.Some as small as they seem,are final,irreversible,and we choose and seal our destiny. Coices that are Barabbas bring trouble,confusion and stress.Right choices bring peace,victory and fullfilment. Remember,there is a price in every decision you make. So, today we are asked that same question “Barabbas or Jesus..?

Dustbin ! Lord "Use Me" :

2007-11-08T00:59:00.000+05:30

(Sinner confession)

Dustbin ! Lord "Use Me" : Hausienmuan

Mrs.B.K Rose in her speech in our fellowship services on date 11.march.2007 compare us with that

Filthy dustbin, with the word use me.Even thought it is a simple word, a combination of single verb and corresponding objectives forms of the personal pronouns: it penetrated the deepest shells of my hearts. When I began to think of my life in Delhi- How I spent the day with friends,the night that so call party ,I begin to feel that really I`m a dustbin where all that bad things are disposed off: drinking of alcohol,taking of tobacco eating pan and etc.i just found out ,I`m a lucky guy created for purpose,not an accident as there is no explosion in my stomach after mixing all those chemical.

The head,my brain seem no different with my stomach;thinking of all bad things,ideology,cheating,hate and jealousy moreover no dot size for charity,no intention of reforming mysellf,praying and reading the Bible. Every Sunday I attend the fellowship services just to interact with friends and doing multiple choice exam-like standing on judges stand in Miss.Beauty contest(he..he) and with that true or false exam-she is beautifull yes/no.Or did I really came for the messages.

When I thought of writing something about our jubilee,nothing came out from my brain except the four angels-Shelly,Haute,Vung and Bony. A pretty girls dancing in the stages and praising the lord in the way they are talented.I came to know Zcf silver jubilee is a great success when I count how many coffee,tomato-soup and tea I drink on that day and when I found the diner interesting.The arrangement and performance of everything is good, I found it out as one of the most well organized function in the Zo`s history.But what did I gain for my personal life on the great day.

It was when our Church leader invite Mrs.B.K rose to preach us in our church in connection with our silver jubilee I began to catch one interesting concept i.e "Jesus want to change cloth" my dirty clothes with his dirty clothes.There I see the face of my mother in B.k rose with tear in her eyes for my safety,the face of my father in our church leaders who suffer and sacrifices for my own good so that I can reform,who gave us the same message with my father-to be always good,strong and courageous.

When Mrs.B.K Rose said ‘you are a drunkard druggist, cheater, liar it personally hurt me like pin-pointing me.Then how came after all these dirty thing ‘Jesus still wanted to change my clothes. Even after rejected/neglected by the world still He is there to always love me. I know He doesn`t need my Love, I need His love.He is the one who comfort me,stand tall with me in times of my trouble and suffering.Then why should I still run away from him.A thousand question arise in my heart "Lord,Who am I ? That you care and suffer much for. Today, I know I have nothing to offer and give the Lord-no money,no wisdom and knowledges and strength.But always this is my prayer "Lord, Use Me" as the way I am,that filthy dustbin.

The story of Vahnu and other children:

The story of Vahnu and other children:

By: Hausienmuan Munluo

I promised myself, I wouldn`t dwell on the negative the year has already thrown up,but something just stay with me to keep popping into my head like a recurring nightmare. Like the Zezaw rape(On dec.2006). We`ve woken up to a year that`s already full of dreadful news- that children are no longer safe and care. Especially the poor children.

The Gungal incident(story of naupang Pauminthang) is horrifying in itself. But if we look around,there are hundreds of children sufering from gross-neglect to say the least. In some places NGO are doing all they can to help the underpriviledged children,but the problem is just too large. And the worse still there is not a single NGO machinery in our courtyside, in singngat.

Individually,it`s much worse. None of us knows the first thing about how to help a poor child except to buy them a few Bisuite, mithai and move on. I know how dificult it is.Once I tried to help a 13 years old girl.She was a school drop-out and her 7 year old little sister.We were waiting for our turn in Sipheng lui(singngat) to fill our bucket and pot.She asked me diferent thing about the kolte world.We changes our topic from this and that. Then I asked her why she left school. She look down without with silent ..

Her name was Vavah.When she was better enough to give me the answer,I got atleast three diferent stories about the cause(school drop-out). One time,she said she doesn`t like going to school. I could believe that. The next time,she said there is no money for her schooling. I could believe that too. Yet another story was that her parent just think that education is not for the poor. Yes, I could even believe that.

But which was the true story ?

In my attempt to smother her with attention,so that she must be free to trust and speech, I`d asked her and her small illeterate sister what she`d like me to give her a christmass present. And the answer was always the same. "TOYS" The first time she asked for them, I thought I had heard wrong. I expected her to ask for clothes,snacks and shoes,but no. The little stress-free time she had when she was not working was spent being a child. She just want to play with her friends and her parent is stealing her chilhood. she is like other rich children.,just want to study.

I finanly got the real story from Vavah.There is no money for her education. Her parents cannot afford her education expenditure. When she left school she start helping her parents like- working in the field under the scorching sun,carrying a big pot to fill water,cooking food when her friends are playing,laughing at the ground,gazzing her catlles like buffaloes,cow under the rain in thick forest where snakes,leeches roam etc.- an addiction most poor children suffer.

What happen to Vavah ? I lost her once more to her fate. Why ?Because no conventional system was strong enough to convince her parents to send her back to school or to put it diferently, labour/working is the best option for Vahnu and her poor parent to make their kitchen pot boil. What were the other choices ? Governtment school from my childhood day till today I never find the government school running the class. Orphaned home, where only the rich relative find their place.Mission school for the sake of the church unity. Etc….Temporary helps which by nature arte temporary and offer no roots. Random acts of kindness that we indulge in- we offer them slivers of hope and we are not sure what to do with the poor kids.

Dealing with Vavah was a defeating experience for me. Not because Vavah didn`t went back to school(Nothing positive came out in my attempt), but because after a points, no options attractive enough to convince her parents to send. No immediate plans for rejuvenation and recovery. My reaction to this is-the poor(Zodawn) children need help. But when I think again,it`s not the poor (zodawn),- we need help. We ned maps,money and guideline that will help us help our poor childrens,our poor people in zodawn .

Listen to the cry of these children,they are your children,help them,give them the chance to read,play. Provide them what they deserve.

In Vatican City, On Dec 25.2006) Pope Benedict XVI Sunday urged Roman Catholics to pray for the world's unborn and suffering children as he led the traditional midnight Christmas Mass at St. Peter's Basilica. Jesus, the pope said, "directs our gaze towards all children who suffer and are abused in the world, the born and the unborn. Towards children who are placed as soldiers in a violent world; towards children who have to beg; towards children who suffer deprivation and hunger; towards children who are unloved." What did the church do for these zodawn poverty stricken children.

In an earlier age, we often saw our responsibility toward the unpreviledges children in terms of charity.

In the 21st century, the world has gotten considerably smaller we should make our connection to the lives of its children more direct. The non-philantrophic organisation in Lamka and the surrounding place should carefully make the plan. So,poor children from zodawn get the same treatment with those of their counterpart in the Churachanpur town. The church should re-think again its missionary work,there are hundrends of our children sufering in zodawn. For the sake of these suffering children let the people of Churachandpur unite as one.

As Zomi, we must accept our role not only as benefactors but as part of the problem.

We can choose to ignore the poor suffering children in zodawn or we can make plan sacrificing what we are going to benefits ,Or we can accept the responsibilities that accompany our position in the order and use our economic and political might in pursuit of justice for our most vulnerable citizens, those zodawn childrens

Defamation under IPC and criminal law

2007-11-08T00:45:00.000+05:30

Defamation

There is a need to balance the public right to free speech & expression with the private right to reputation. Legislation about defamation is an attempt to do the same.

Defamation is a Civil as well as a criminal offence. Under Criminal Law, Indian Penal Code, defines defamation as - "Whoever, by words either spoken or intended to be read, or by signs or by visible representations, makes or publishes any imputation concerning any person intending to harm, or knowing or having reason to believe that such imputation will harm, the reputation of such person, is said, except in the cases hereinafter excepted, to defame that person." (1)

Explanations in IPC-

Explanation 1- It may amount to defamation to impute anything to a deceased person, if the imputation would harm the reputation of that person if living, and is intended to be hurtful to the feelings of his family or other near relatives.

Explanation 2- It may amount to defamation to make an imputation concerning a company or an association or collection of persons as such.

Explanation 3- An imputation in the form of an alternative or expressed ironically, may amount to defamation.

Explanation 4- No imputation is said to harm a person's reputation, unless that imputation directly or indirectly, in the estimation of others, lowers the moral or intellectual character of that person, or lowers the character of that person in respect of his caste or of his calling, or lowers the credit of that person, or causes it to be believed that the body of that person is in a loath some state, or in a state generally considered as disgraceful.

Essentials :

Under Criminal Law three essentials are to be proved to establish wrong of

Defamation -

1. There should be existence / publication of an imputation made by a person.

2. Such imputation may be words spoken or written signs, or visible representation.

3. It should be made to injure or having knowledge to believe that it will injure reputation of a person.

Civil Law about Defamation is still governed by English Common Law rules, according to which 4 essentials are to be proved -

1. The statement be defamatory.

2. Reference of it to the plaintiff.

3. Publication of it by defendant.

4. Statement must be substantially untrue.

Exceptions :

There are ten exception mentioned in Indian Penal Code under which a person can escape his liability from an action of Defamation :

1.True Imputation made / published for the public good "It is not defamation to impute anything which is true concerning any person, if it be for the public good that the imputation should be made or published. Whether or not it is for the public good is a question of fact." It is also sometimes referred as plea for justification , according to which its not only essential to prove that the imputation was substantially true but also that it was made / published for the public good.

2. Public conduct of public servants "It is not defamation to express in a good faith any opinion whatever respecting the conduct of a public servant in the discharge of his public functions, or respecting his character, so far as his character appears in that conduct, and no further." It is essential that it should be necessarily an expression of opinion and not that statement of fact, and further expressed in good faith - ' done honestly' { Sec.3(22) of General clauses act } & 'with due care and attention' { sec.52 } whose measure can be that of a prudent man.

3. Public Question of a Person "Conduct of any person touching any public question- It is not defamation to express in good faith any opinion whatever respecting the conduct of any person touching any public question, and respecting his character, so far as his character appears in that conduct, and no further" here also it's essential that the statement be an opinion and made in good faith.

4. Publication of reports of proceedings of Courts- "It is not defamation to publish substantially true report of the proceedings of a Court of Justice, or of the result of any such proceedings." It's essential that it be just a report and no further expression of statements on conduct of persons or proceedings and further it must be substantially true.

5. Merits of case decided in Court or conduct of witnesses and others concerned- "It is not defamation to express in good faith any opinion whatever respecting the merits of any case, civil or criminal, which has been decided by a Court of Justice, or respecting the conduct of any person as a party, witness or agent, in any such case, or respecting the character of such person, as far as his character appears in that conduct, and no further." it's essential that the statement be an opinion and made in good faith.

6.Merits of public performance- "It is not defamation to express in good faith any opinion respecting the merits of any performance which its author has submitted to the judgement of the public, or respecting the character of the author so far as his character appears in such performance, and no further." A public performance can be work like a book, drama, movie etc, and statement made should be an opinion and that too expressed in good faith.

7.Censure passed in good faith by person having lawful authority- "It is not defamation in a person having over another any authority, either conferred by law or arising out of a lawful contract made with that other, to pass in good faith any censure on the conduct of that other in matters to which such lawful authority relates." Censure cannot be considered to be a defamation if it's passed in course of exercising authority like the authority of a father over son, a teacher's over student.

8. Accusation preferred in good faith to authorized person- "It is not defamation to prefer in good faith an accusation against any person to any of those who have lawful authority over that person with respect to the subject-matter of accusation". The accusation should be made in good faith and that too within extent of lawful authority over the other person.

9. Imputation made in good faith by person for protection of his or other's interests- "It is not defamation to make an imputation on the character of another provided that the imputation be made in good faith for the protection of the interests of the person making it, or of any other person, or for the public good." Though it is a vague exception but the Imputation should be made in good faith and for interest of own or some other person concerned.

10. Caution intended for good of person to whom conveyed or for public good- "it is not defamation to convey a caution, in good faith, to one person against another, provided that such caution be intended for the good of the person to whom it is conveyed, or of some person in whom that person is interested, or for the public good" It is generally a warning to someone for protection of his / public good about another persons character in good faith.

Under Civil Law all the general defences, which are available for an action of Torts, can be pleaded for action of defamation too but there are three additional defences for Defamation.

1. Truth / Justification Being true of a defamatory statement is a complete defence in civil action unlike criminal action the reason being that the law allows no one to claim damages for a character which one never possessed or to presume undeserved dignity, thus plea of justification; truth of the statement published is a complete defence.

2. Fair Comment It is necessary that the imputation be expression of opinion or a comment rather than being a statement of fact, it should be fair ie. Honestly expressed and without any malice further it is necessary that the statement should be made/publicised for public good; all these are matter of facts.

3. Protection of interest When the statement is made for general or public interest, without any malice no action for defamation lies.

4.Privilege There are circumstances when the Law grants Privilege to a person to express himself, in these occasions Right to speech and expression overshadows or eclipses one's right to reputation. There are two kinds of privileges which can be pleaded - Absolute and Qualified privilege.Absolute privilege can be taken by-

(a) Members of parliament of both the houses about anything stated in course of Parliamentary proceedings in side four walls of the house.{Art.105(2) for Lok Sabha & 194(2) for Rajya Sabha }

(b) Statements made by Judges, counsels, witnesses, or parties in course of judicial proceedings before any court of Law provided that the statements are not such that have no relevance at all in the case.

(c) Communication relating to affairs of state made by one officer of state to another in course of duty.In these circumstances no civil action for defamation lies even though the statement is absolutely false and is made with malafied intentions.

Qualified Privilege can be pleaded in these cases -

(a) Statement made in performance of a duty may be legal, social, or moral duty.

(b) Statement made for protection of general or public interest.

(c) Fair report of Public proceedings like judicial, parliamentary proceedings and public meetings.In these cases privilege is only considered when the statement is made without any malice.

Kinds of Defamation

Though Indian Law does not distinguish, but defamation is of two types, as contained in English too -

Slander and Libel ; when an defamatory imputation is made on a temporary source of communication like verbally defaming someone then it is classified as Slander ; when defamatory imputation is made on a permanent source of communication like publication in a newspaper or on electronic source, its called as Libel.

Case Law

Khushwant Singh v. Maneka Gandhi AIR 2002 Delhi 58

Judges : Devinder Gupta, Sanjay Kishan Kaul

" It cannot be said that an autobiography must relate to the person concerned directly. An autobiography deals not only with the individual by whom it is written but about the people whom he claims to have interfered with. This is a matter between the author and the people who want to read him. Fetters cannot be put on to what an author should and should not write. It is the judgment of the author." Para 73
