The delegates from all 22 Anchalik Committees, covering Assam, Tripura, Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata, assembled at the said venue in the afternoon of March 5, 2010 to hoist the Radhamadhavjiu Mandir flag at the entrance of the Shripat gate and followed by the offering of flowers at the statue of Shri Shri Pundarikakkha Sharma, the founder of the Radhamadhavjiu Mandir, placed adjacent to the dais. 130 candles were lighted by the distinguished persons present on the occasion of the commencement of ‘Smriticharan’ sabha.

The secretary of the Samiti had read out the report on income and expenditure of the Mandir from 01 January to 31 December 2009. The budget of 2010 could not be passed in the assembly for certain technical points. However the interim budget would be tabled at the newly formed committee’s first working committee meeting, to be held in the month of May 2010. Shri Shyamsundar Sinha and Krishna Charan Sinha, are the President and the Secretary of the Samiti respectively.

The delegates were heard praising the Reception Committee for their unique touch of bringing our two Mandirs, Radhagobindajiu and Radhamadhavjiu at the venue by displaying the giant size of photographs depicting the Mandirs and Radha/shyamkunda, where people offering their last rites.

Delegates who could not visit these Mandirs were quite benefitted by the efforts put in by the committee. The closing ceremony was held by the lowering of the Mandir flag on the completion of forming the new committee on March 7th 2010.

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...

Jingta Koro Imar Thar

The Bishnupriya Manipuri language is in fact an eco friendly, cholesterol free language. It does no harm if spoken moderately, at least at home or with fellow Bishnupriya Manipuris. Injecting into the child the habit to speak in Bishnupriya Manipuri should be as crucial as polio vaccination is. By Henryy Sinha, New Delhi Grant me the privilege for a constructive crib! On the 21st December 2008, a Mahila Samiti was formed in New Delhi by the Bishnupriya Manipuri Nagarik Samiti, (New Delhi- NCR). Needless to say, it’s a great initiative. Most importantly, an important initiative. But somehow a wicked voice in my head says, this Mahila Samiti might end up as yet another feel good, cosmetic outfit. Sorry for my premonition. I might have just fallen prey to facts. Maybe plain history. It’s ritualistic to offer ‘privileges’ to a woman with a patronizing tone for the men. Be it America, Afghanistan or Japirbon, the plot remains the same. And this ritual, I bet is very much pronounced in o...
