BMDC in Tripura likely

By our Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, June 29: The Government of Tripura has evinced keen interest for the formation of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Development Council (BMDC) for the all-round development of the Bishnupriya Manipuri community in the State. The Tripura Government, according to Nikhil Bishnupriya Manipuri Mahasabha (NBMM) secretary general Uday Sinha, is likely to hold a meeting with the NBMM soon in this connection.

A number of central committee leaders of the NBMM, including Uday Sinha, had been in Tripura for the past few days in connection with the oath-taking of the executive members of the NBMM. Presided over by NBMM working president Sunder Mukherjee, the oath-taking ceremony at Pachartal Srimandop at Kailasahar was a smooth affair. The oath of office and secrecy was administered by NBMM general secretary Krishnadas Sinha. As many as 47 newly elected executive members of the Tripura State Committee of the NBMM took oath of office and secrecy. Following a demand from the Tripura State committee of the NBMM, the Government of Tripura extended a sum of Rs 10 lakh for purchase of musical instruments so as to develop the Bishnupriya Manipuri culture.

Meanwhile, for the compilation of history and Bishnupriya Manipuri literature, a one-day workshop was organized at Sri Sri Bhubaneswar Sadhuthakur Community Hall at Silchar by the Nikhil Bishnupriya Manipuri Sahitya Parishad (NBMSP), Assam State committee, recently. Nikhil Bishnupriya Manipuri Sanskriti Parishad (NBMSP) president Jogendra Kumar Sinha, Nikhil Bishnupriya Manipuri Sahitya Parishad (NBMSP) president Jyotiprakash Sinha, NBMSP working president Prabas Kanti Sinha, NBMSP general secretary Manasi Sinha, NBMM general secretary Swapan Kumar and others took part in the workshop.

    I m really impressed by the word WORKSHOP and would like to congratulate the organisers and at the same time I m in doubt whether the workshop was for resident of silchar or otherwise as  the names (appeared) suggest. I would request authorities to organise state wise, calling people of all walk of lives who can contribute to the cause.Pl. don't confne to office bearers of Mahasabha only.
     
    It is no doubt,writing a history is nothing but to recreate the past with all its smells, sights,sounds and chaos is a different ball game. Really it is a tough job of going in to details of life during a period buried in sands of time.. how people lived, what they ate, drink and smoked; how they travelled, how they made love and how they made enemies culminating to quarrels.But call it shame or lack of awareness about the past, a majority of Bishnupriya Manipuris in fact Indians are still ignorant about this phace of Indian history,despite the fact that barely 100 yrs ago there was not a section of Indian Society from poor farmers like us.

    To my mind, a language grows only when writers writes in that language. Similarly a writer grows reading other languages.And also we need of translating great works in our literature to ensure that it reaches more and more readers. When you are a translator, you are not just a congregator. It is just like an actor playing the part, he is not, but subsumes his voices.

A life devoted to poetry

Courtesy: The Sentinel By Champalal Sinha In the world of present Bishnupriya Manipuri literature, the man who first makes his imprint on our minds and reflects his image in our eyes, and the name that comes first while discussing the literature of the community is poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha. His fault-finders will, however, have a different view. His is a life totally devoted to poetry, and this is his first identity. It’s poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha who first introduced structural aspect, subject matter, mode of expression, appeal, soul (core), rhetoric and the like in a conscious way in Bishnupriya Manipuri literature in order to put it on a par with developed literatures in the world. And he has been successful in his relentless efforts towards that end. His poems have been translated and published in English, Bengali, Assamese, Nepali, Kokborok, Manipuri, Urdu and other languages, and received with applause. Talking straight, he is the architect of modern Bishnupriya Manipuri poe...

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 ...
