Bishnupriyamanipuri.com in 2009



By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi

What was the health of the site in the year 2009? Statistically speaking, over 31, 000 pages of the site were opened by 16, 000 visits of the readers.

Indian readers accounts for 77.77 per cent of the total readership of the site. Followed up by the United States (7.39 %), United Arab Emirates (3.44 %), United Kingdom (1.54 %), Bahrain (1.19 %) …

Besides these, in countries like Bangladesh, Canada, Australia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Qatar, and Oman, the site has sizable population of Bishnupriya Manipuri readers.

However, there are readers from Norway, Spain and Hong Kong, about them it is very difficult to conclude whether they are Bishnupriya Manipuri or are those who are interested to the Bishnupriya Manipuri topics that the site is devoted to.

Readers from these countries – what do they do in the site – is interesting.

Analyzing deeper into the statistics, readers from Norway are the one who are leaps and bounds above the rest of the readers of the site with respect to average time spent on this site. They open the site for hours continuously! Whereas the average time spent by Indians is 4 minutes, the Norway readers spent more than 1 hour on this site.

What actually they do on the site? Though the visits come from Oslo, the capital of Norway, the pages of the site that are being opened are quite interesting. The readers are not voracious with each and every posts published here, the pages that were selected and read with penchant are: Is it right time for our social organizations to go online? and Let us help each other.

Are the readers from Norway Bishnupriya Manipuris or not? It is difficult to say. Whoever he or she was – if cookies to be believed – there has not been any visit after October 11, 2009 (he or she has been frantic in the initial months of the year 2009). What happened to him or her? God knows.

These are countries : Tunisia, Czech Republic, South Africa, Myanmar [Burma], Egypt, Jamaica, Morocco, Nigeria, Tanzania, Serbia, Burkina Faso, Croatia, and Rwanda, from where readers have visited the site and spent ample amount of time reading few of the articles. The readers are not Bishnupriya Manipuris.

The article on which readers spent maximum amount of time is Rasa Dance performed by Bishnupriya Manipuri community in Delhi on 18 January 2009. Total 35 minutes.

This was a short interesting glimpse of the site in this year. Let us see what it shows up the next year. What shape does it take?

Today is Erei (Friday)

What next?

Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Sadhu Thakur

By Ranita Sinha, Kolkata Sri Sri Bhubaneshwar Thakur, the great saint of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Community was born on 26th October, 1871, in a remote village of Cachar district called Baropua in the state of Assam. He was born to a Xatriya Manipuri family. His father Sri Sanatan Pandit was a Sanskrit teacher and mother Srimati Malati Devi, a house wife. Sadhu Baba from his childhood was indifferent to all worldly happenings. He was engrossed in chanting the name of Lord Krishna. Along with other students of his age, Sadhu Baba started taking lessons of grammar and other spiritual literature from his father. At a very young age he lost his mother but he was brought up with utmost love and care by his step mother. At the age of eighteen, Sadhu baba lost his father, so, to continue his spiritual education under the guidance of Rajpandit Mineshwas Swarbabhwam Bhattacherjee, he went to Tripura. But within one year he made up his mind to visit all the holy places and as such he took permis...

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...

Bishnupriya Manipuri Development Council: Few Pertinent Questions (Part I)

By Rebati Mohan Sinha On last 25th March 2010 there was an announcement in the floor of the House that the Government of Assam has agreed on principle to form three separate Social Economic Development Councils for Bishnupriya Manipuri, Nath Yugi and Maimal. And now the Cabinet Committee has given its nod. It will be placed in the House (not yet placed) and once it is passed, then a Ministerial Committee would consult the stake holders i.e. these three communities, regarding their aspirations and would send its recommendation accordingly to the Central Government for further action within the next two months. The two months time since been elapsed, even then the bill is yet to show its face in the House. The Ministerial consultation is quite far away. Why am I repeating the same thing now is because of a section of Bishnupriya Manipuri started quarreling for the share of so-called power, from now on, without knowing the outcome of the development which is taking place in the...
