Uttam Singha

By RK Rishikesh Sinha


Uttam Singha’s activities to the Bishnupriya Manipuri-specific Internet world are awe-inspiring and encouraging. His contribution to the Bishnupriya Manipuri world in the webosphere would give an enriching experience to anyone who loves to understand the history and relevance of the (Bishnupriya Manipuri) development in the Internet medium.

Hundreds of Bishnupriya Manipuri newbies who have plugged themselves in the cyberworld in the recent past might not know him as a person and his contribution to the present enriched Bishnupriya Manipuri world that he has been associated with. It is due to his singular effort that in the fluid Internet world his work still stands like steel. And on this steel, it could be said that the present blocks of Bishnupriya Manipuri internet buildings are firmly based. 

Bishnupriya Manipuri Wikipedia
Internet minus Wikipedia is stale and insipid. Uttam Singha has been associated with the presence of Bishnupriya Manipuri language in the Wikipedia. The Bishnupriya Manipuri Wikipedia was created in August 2006. It was remarkable achievement for the internet identification of Bishnupriya Manipuri. Nevertheless, what is more important is the decision to put effort in the Wikipedia, since there have been tectonic shift of users with platforms. And Wikipedia was just another platform to play upon.

Presently to the dynamics of Internet, Wikipedia (read the Bishnupriya Manipuri Wikipedia) is untouched and secure. It is going strong and hopefully no Internet-based user-centric platforms could ignore it. Today, with the volume of Bishnupriya Manipuri article presence in the Wikipedia, it makes news vibes all over the world.

It could be said that any Bishnupriya Manipuri –centric Internet activities has its loci to Bishnupriya Manipuri Wikipedia. Here, Uttam’s role is monumental and futuristic.

Lohong— The Bishnupriya Manipuri Matrimonial
Lohong was another contribution by him to the enrichment of the Bishnupriya Manipuri Internet world. The website might seem inactive and give impression of being without any activity. But, it is not. It is serving its purpose brilliantly for which it was perhaps created: to give an identity which is ‘our’ own. Lohong breaks myths about Bishnupriya Manipuris. It gives an impression of ‘something’ which we have failed collectively. Lohong is one Bishnupriya Manipuri symbol that we have created in the due course of time. One fails to appreciate Lohong if one takes the primary function of the site into consideration. But Lohong has been a potent tool or a symbol propagated in the Internet that speaks many languages to its viewers.

These are two of the contributions from Uttam Singha from many of his effort to the enhancement of Bishnupriya Manipuri. For his contribution, Uttam has been felicitated with Ningor Khuttol by DILS Association.

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 ...
