Leaders are mum on the OBC issue

The Bishnupriya Manipuri leaders are silent on the exclusion of the community's name in the OBCs list of Assam.

By Rebati Mohan Sinha

I fear the SC judgment will damage the reputation of our few elite institutions like IITs and IIMs. Although I am against the quota system; but one thing, I appreciate the most the way the Govt. has shown its sincerity. I could see that our leaders in the future will be our next generation OBCs, if they are not better educated, governance will not get improved. Why then should I feel ill about it? In my view the hidden agenda of OBC quota was to put children of OBC netas, babus in to our top ranking institutions through this unfair means.

Since talent is such a scare commodity, successful nations nurture it through elite institutions, such as IITs and IIMs. At the same time they meet the demand of others through an adequate supply of institutions. This is the way they achieve excellence. The demand for quota in higher education arises from scarcity. We have a very few good colleges because here in India education is not liberalized and it comes in the concurent list of the constitution. It is under the control of netas and babus. Because of Govt. policy, less than 45 out of 250 colleges, only produce employable graduates.

An ordinary family in a village, at the most, wants a good school to impart education to lift its children out of poverty; but Govt. thinks it in other way. The roots of individual failure are laid in schools. The World Bank data shows that ours is one of the worst primary school system in the world and worse than many African countries. The HRD deptt.’s job was to go for education reform and instead let loose a caste war,which is very dangerous for the nation.

Other day, I was shocked to learn that Bishnupriya Manipuri’s name in OBC list forwarded by the Assam State Govt. was not included. Immediately I started contacting the so called our leaders; but no satisfactory answers received from them. After the SC verdict, the Bishnupriya Manipuri name should have been included; but no Sanstha had tried to find out the outcome and as a result, no Brishnupriya Manipuri student would be able to enroll his/her name in any Central Institutes, like Guwahati IIT in this academic year. One thing I would like to clear it here that only Bishnupriya Manipuri creamy layer would be able to send their children for higher education; but no poor family can, because the higher education is nowadays so costly.

  4. Really it is a serious issue, but I think our village centric leaders need more awareness about the day to day affairs. Unfortunately,our leaders are not fighting for social cause in aggressive and organised manner.

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.

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
