Are We Backward? Here is the fifth response by Debajyoti Sinha on the survey " Is the Bishnupriya Manipuri a backward community? ". Socially: Yes Economically: Yes Politically: Yes Educationally: Yes We are under represented in Class I government services: Yes Views: I think social backwardness is the product of economic, educational and political backwardness. Social progress is not measured in terms of one's "Arjunness", how great we were, but by economic, political and educational progress in the present. Sadly, we seem to be a race who dwell in the past. This sorry state of affairs is further compounded by our disunity, our inertia to change and our utter lack of courage to question prevailing views. Accepting the present state of affairs and willingness to change ourselves can be the first step in this direction. Instead of waiting for that sarkari "chakuri", we can try our luck in private jobs or maybe open a small business or maybe far...

Join bishnupriyamanipuri.com On Google Buzz Are we backward? Here is the third response by S. Sinha from Guwahati on the survey " Is the Bishnupriya Manipuri a backward community? ". Socially: Yes Economically: Yes Politically: Yes Educationally: Yes We are under represented in Class I government services: Yes Views: The main reason behind this is due to lack of proper education. Our society is lagging behind in everything since educationally we are very poor. Most of the people of our communinty are not interested in pursuing highger education. Reasons may be poverty but if we are really interested we can solve every problem. Most of us are from villages/rural areas. If we are properly educated we can solve the problem of poverty; we will become more conscious about politics; with this, social sentiment will automatically grow amongst us.

By Tridiv Sinha, New Delhi I have lost my interest in editorials and column writers of newspapers these days. They have become the pawns of propaganda about the Greatness of Democracy. In disguise, they are fooling innocent people from the fact that it is becoming more and more Capitalistic Dictatorship. Isn’t it the responsibility of the press people to make people realize what’s going wrong in the system, instead of advertising the greatness in it? If we take a look in the entertainment field, take movies for instance; controversies circling around a recent big movie is bound to be a blockbuster hit even if its contents are mediocre if not poor. It seems every movie coming out today with the so-called superstars follow up a huge controversy around it. The big ones in Bollywood have realized that publicity, in normal terms promotions and campaigns are no better than creating a ‘negative publicity’ to market the movie. So, most of them adopt to include something controversial to i...

Are we backward? Here is the second response by Dipen Sinha on the survey " Is the Bishnupriya Manipuri a backward community ?". Socially: Yes Economically: Yes Politically: Yes Educationally: Yes We are under represented in Class I government services: Yes Views: "In every respect we are backward."

Wikipedia.org which is the primary source of information on the Internet and where volunteers collaboratively work on it, till few days ago didn't mention about the Bishnupriya Manipuri community in the web pages of ' Assam ', ' Cachar ', ' Hailakandi ', and ' Karimganj ' districts of Assam, and in the ' Northeast India ' page. It means the global online primary source is not updated and is not providing the complete picture. Now the question is: Can one draw a correct ‘social’ picture of Assam or Tripura in particular and northeast India in general without mentioning about Bishnupriya Manipuri community? No. One is talking about religion and demography in Cachar, Hailakandi, and Karimganj districts of Assam without dropping the name of the Bishnupriya Manipuri community, would it be correct? No. What is the solution? Participate in it. Become the wikipedia.org volunteer. Wikipedia.org runs on devoted volunteers. Bishnupriya Ma...

By Ramlal Sinha At what seems to be the fag-end of his active and prolific literary life, a guilty conscience continues to haunt Dr KP Sinha (Kali Prasad Sinha), an Indologist who has over 60 books to his credit, for the failure on his part to write anything about his spiritual guru, Maipak Sadhu, a BA and BT passed sadhu who lived a spiritually enlightened life at a sleepy village, Kachudharam, on the outskirts of Silchar town in south Assam. As an eight-year-old lad, KP Sinha took Sri Krishna naam from Maipak Sadhu probably in 1932. The graduate sadhu was also the headmaster of a high school. This all-time great scholar in the Bishnupriya Manipuri community and one of the front runners in his field in the country as a whole is not satisfied with the works that he has done in Bishnupriya Manipuri language and literature, Assamese and Sanskrit. He is among those who can never satisfy their thirst for literary and research ventures. He still feels that he has done only a minute frac...
