Bishnupriya Manipuri Online

RK Rishikesh Sinha India of 80s was probably the last peaceful India where people led a simple and sober lifestyle away from the rat-race of today. Your neighborhood was truly yours. Your nearby bazaar or shop was the extension of your life. The area in which you live was your extended family. That was the character of the time — life seemed to be so beautiful in its true meaning. People were happy in small things. And those who began exploring the world in the 80s of India definitely miss the time since India never remained the same. What are the characteristics and symbols of India in 80s through which people relate to that period?

That was the time in which a passerby could enter anyone’s house to watch serials like Ramayana and Mahabharata.

RK Rishikesh Sinha Ramlal Sinha in his article proposed a model for the vitalization of Bishnupriya Manipuri language, art and culture. He wrote about media vacuum which is inflicting the community; in order to create one he proposed a profitable tie-up between litterateurs/artists and the industrialists. He said that “the Bishnupriya Manipuris' is a virgin market that, if tapped in the right way, can pay a huge dividend”. Adding to it, one thing that he mentioned is very much futuristic, especially at this time — equalizing Bishnupriya Manipuri newspapers or magazines as “products”. So, whoever ventures into filling up the vacuum has to tread the road with care, with the “product” concept in mind and soul. Equating “Market” with “Bishnupriya Manipuri”, today one can take it as a joke. But, who knows, these two stuff could become one; consequently creating a self-sustaining platform for the betterment of the Bishnupriya Manipuri people. However, media histor...

Post Bureau, Guwahati (July 22):  The Nikhil Bishnupriya Manipuri Yuva Parishad (NBMYP) has urged the Centre to take steps to ameliorate the living conditions of the Bishnupriyas. The annual general meeting of NBMYP held here on Sunday noted with concern that the community was still lagging behind due to lack of appropriate facilities from the government. “We are always neglected from every aspect of life. We are deprived of government’s welfare schemes as we are yet to be listed under the OBC category by the central government. So we urge the central government to take appropriate steps in this regard,” said Shankha Sinha, NBMYP general secretary. He also demanded that Dispur increase the number of seats in the Bishnupriya Manipuri Development Council. “We want the number of members be increased to 25, from the present 12, so that more focus can be given on the developmental works,” he added. The NBMYP said measures should be taken to develop language and culture of the ...

Jobs and Career RK Rishikesh Sinha It’s been two years I am out of the media sector. Now, I don’t sit around newsmakers and I don’t get free lunch! A privilege of a media person. Today, if someone asks me how to get into the media sector. I don’t have definite answer to the question. I have seen in the newsroom, there are journalists who entered with sheer luck, some with reference of a big shot, and some with talent of their own. It is surprising I have seen many collegemates and others who failed to get into the media despite having all the educational qualification, references, and skill. There is no direct and easy path to join media houses. However, here are some of the tips (or steps) that I have followed to get into the media. And I hope these tips would help anyone who is interested to land a job in this sector. Get a Bachelor/Master degree in the Mass Communication and Journalism. One will find in the newsroom, many journalists in their prime...

Pranati Sinha This is not a proud moment for me and for many who loves Guwahati. Guwahati to me is a city of love and exuberance; a city that unbinds itself in the songs of Bihu and bestows upon couples the freedom of togetherness. When I first came to the city, I found enchantment in seeing young hearts throbbing every nook and corner; in park, in bazaar, in restaurants.  I was then wondering isn’t there a sense of insecurity, a sense of risk in them? I understood culture administers life. If I am not exaggerated, I would say Guwahati accepts “love”, the most reproached thing in some of our Indian societies. In my opinion, Right to Love is one of the major attributes of a liberal humanist society. In such a mighty-heart city, where people are given freedom to live their dreams and wishes, what rot had taken over those city dwellers who brought disgrace to a teenage girl publicly with no reason. The newspapers and TV channels are making their headlines over the inciden...
