You Can't Fool All the People All the Time

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi

With the untoward events unfolding in the nearby website, seeing their intention, the blog has been put on high alert. All the doors and windows have been closed and boundaries are being fenced. 

The 60-strong photographs of the programme are not in downloadable format. You can’t download it. You can’t share it. You can’t bring the concept of collaboration with your own near and dear ones. Same has been done with other assets of the blog. 

And all the enriching contents are being checked whether someone is misusing it or not. I can’t help! The blog is valuable and it has to be protected. The blog is in complete denial mode, now. 

As I have told you in one article I don’t have any attachment to the Silchar town but I love my village Mohanpur. Reason! First, people whom I have encountered in my nascent school days were hide-and-seek personality. They used to hide if possible everything. The same was done here recently when an event went unnoticed. And the same mentality is seen online. The product this town throws to the world. 

Visit Silchar.com and click on the Photo of the Day tab, you will surely feel the same they don’t want to share anything to the valuable readers. The site breaks your trust. The site tells you in your back of your mind: You feel grateful that you are watching the photos that you have provided to you. They use watermarks [www.silchar.com 2003] so that you don’t download it and put it as your desktop image. Even you will not print it and put on your wall. 

Now, come to the blog. Can’t I put watermark on each and every programme photographs? I can with a click of a button. I can emblazon the blog’s URL, even my name – RK Rishikesh Sinha. 

But sorry I didn’t follow something like this that is wrong and sets a wrong example in the blog. I am maturing with this blog and hence the readers. It is first time happening that more than 200 subcribers are reading daily content written on the community activities, written by Bishnupriya Manipuri people. 

There are ethics that I have emulated in my school and in university and in my profession. However, the online world runs on some fundamentals. That is why Google is Google and Amazon is Amazon. And this blog has become big.

What the blog could have done?

(1) The blog could have taken Names, Phone numbers and many private information in the subscription procedure itself. But it was not done. Reason! In due course of time, I could become all-know person. 

(2) The blog could be visible only to the subscribers. But the blog could be seen by anyone those who are not subscribed to it. 

(3) The subscribers can UNsubscribe from receiving the alert. This option could have been stopped. So, once subscribers subscribed to the blog they cannot go out of the blog. But this has not been stopped. And see the beauty, indeed only three Bishnupriya Manipuri guys have unsubscribed to the service. 

(4) No copy-paste work: I received lot of copy and paste articles. I didn’t allow it. Reason! It will flood the blog with copy and paste work. Hence setting again a bad example. I intend to say let people write, and let the writers learn from the mistakes. Unwind their mind.

(5) One mistake that I could have done. Thanks one person for guiding me not doing that grand mistake. Else this blog couldn’t have become the darling of many like you whom I don’t know. It will remain a secret till this blog employs a Bishnupriya Manipuri guy who does reporting job from our villages. He/ she will be earning from the blog. And this is one of my dreams. 

I am writing this article because: You Can't Fool All the People All the Time

If you don’t like anything, readers have the choice they can unsubscribe. No prejudice! The blog will stop. We all need guidance same here, email me at rajkumarrishi1@gmail.com

Note: In few days all the photos will be in downlable format.

  1. Ekdom hai haan.

    People of Silchar are the most cowards.

    Look at them they have been informed to help the Bishnupriya Manipuri team in Delhi on the 17th of January as written on your blog, but they did not go to help those poor kids. Cowards.

  2. Rishi! Your intentions are very much clear and I appriciate your thoughts. You have been doing a fantastic work....keep going...this blog will always keep rocking!........

    @ravi sinha
    "People of Silchar are the most cowards"....
    Please do not repeat this line ever again.....You seem to be an educated person...do not talk nonsense! I don't know what had actually happened on 17th Jan. Unfortunately i was not in Delhi that day...even i was not aware of any such event. I only came to know from my relatives in Silchar as i was in Silchar that day...i didnot blame anybody for not being informed. Let us find out the reason and rectify it so that in future no such situation arise.

    ......I think Rishi is trying to convey a message to all the readers which is very clear i suppose.... But few people are taking it negatively and trying to give it a DOLADOLI shape which is unjust.

    Guys! Wake up. There's always a solution to every problem.

  3. @Ramanuj.
    Dont blaming you. Yes someone who is not in the city like as you have mentioned cannot do anything on what happened on the 17th of January.

    What i was saying is what about those people who have been informed about the difficulties on that very day. Those people were very much in the city. I am asking why those people who have got the information did not go to help those Bishnupriya Manipuri people.

  4. I liked the word coward. Its not only the people of Silchar are coward. In fact we as a country is coward. Look at the terrorist, first they email to us that we are going to attack a certain place in India. And after the attack our so called protector say that, had we been known the exact place of attack we could have averted it. Silly boy they are also human how can they say that "Aa bel mujhe maar". But one thing is clear they are more dedicated and clear about their ambition then us. Yes, I am one of the coward who was helplesly watching the tv for 60 hours on that evil day doing nothing. Though I am a Silcharite I will not revert back angrily coz I donot want some ISI agent to exploit me.

    Rishi according to what I have learned a blog is a place for discussion and exchanging ideas and issues. Till now you were doing it nicely and everybody appriciated from time to time about various topics and discussion. So, I will appreciate if you could concentrate on your job rather than other things. Despite being flooded with 100 different cars, 80% of the people in india still swear by Maruti Suzuki. Its because of its quality. So if you maintain that it will go on and on and on......
    All the best!

  5. Yes Ravi! if it is true what you are saying..you always have the right to question those people....but you cannot blame a whole town...!!! Also i am bit confused about 17th Jan. As i have seen few snaps of the event where i can see few of BM Delhite also...now i can't make out how other people are not being informed....SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!

    As you have rightly said in your earlier comments that MALTHEP AGO OILE DI TUKRA KISADE KORANI AAMARANGTO HIKANI....!!!

    Now Guys! Can't we change ourselves??? Can't we discount such mentality from our mind??? Can't we be united always??? Can't we be real PRIYAs of Lord BISHNU???

  6. I would like to put forward few inspiratinal lines of Barack Obama's speech to the people of world's most powerful nation, America. I felt heartened by reading these lines and think those guys who are misleading themselves in the name of success might get inspiration to do fair things. He said, "The challenges may be new But those values upon which our success depends — hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism — these things are old."
    Success comes to those who stick to ethics.

  7. Well said Gopikanta. I just want to emphasise further by quoting one more thing, the British ruler had estimated the power of India long back so before leaving India they created a mess with Indian territorial border, which we are still trying to find a solution you call it Pakistan, China and Myanmar. We are still struggling with it.

    Time has changed we shouldn't be fooled by anyone. Speak your mind and make decision which should make other run high and dry rather then fighting like India and Pakistan or Middle East. One word "PLAY SMART", thats the survival instinct of present world.

  8. This blog has brought a new revolution among metro Bishnupriya Manipuri people. Frankly speaking, i never associated with any efforts made for BM upliftment until I countered www.bishnupriyamanipuri.blogspot.com. SInce i started visiting this blog, i have been realising a big change in me i.e.I feel more responsible for my people and community.THis blog means a lot to me and hope the same for many people.

    One confession to all blog viewers, whenever i open my laptop, i first open www.bishnupriyamanipuri.blogspot.com, after opening this and reading new artcile and comments, i go for other websites. This much important is this blog to me. Everybody has experienced ignition of blood, this blog has been making among metro Bishnupriya Manipuris.

    Dear blog owner, you keep moving by holding the flag tightly, we will hold your hand, supporting you when you will get tired or face big storm.

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

Assam Search Engine: Bisarok

Exclusive search engine on Assam Manash Pratim Gohain, TNN Jun 16, 2012, 01.46PM IST NEW DELHI: Assam got its own search engine ' Bisarok '. The search engine has been launched to get results exclusively on queries and information related to Assam. 'Bisarok', means 'to search' in Assamese language, has been launched and has been linked to various websites of the Government of Assam and departments, educational institutions and media. The search engine is likely to give a new online experience related to searches on Assam. Built on Google custom search engine, the search engine would be collating and building a database of web properties exclusively of the state in the North East region. 'Bisarok' has been developed by RK Rishikesh Sinha, who had earlier created a similar custom search engine ('Bisarei') on Bishnupriya Manipuri. According to Sinha, apart from Google there was no link to get results particularly on Assam. Any web entity related

A short history of the Bishnupriya Manipuri and their religio-cultural consciousness

Undoubtedly, the accurate period of the emergence or the development of religious consciousness of the Bishnupriya Manipuri is difficult to ascertain, but it is an old one that is undoubted, writes Rini Sinha , Guwahati . Religious beliefs are found virtually in every human society. Religious beliefs usually relates to the existence and worship of a deity or deities and divine involvement in the universe and human life. Religious knowledge according to religious practitioners may be gained from religious leaders, sacred texts or personal revelation. The development of religion has taken many forms in various cultural communities. The accurate period of emergence or development of religious consciousness of the Bishnupriya Manipuries is difficult to ascertain, but it is an old one that is undoubted. However, on the basis of the views of different scholars, pre-historic and historical remain whatsoever is available and from the logic of personal observations, we may put forward some view
