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.

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...

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 ...

Bishnupriya Manipuri Development Council: Few Pertinent Questions (Part I)

By Rebati Mohan Sinha On last 25th March 2010 there was an announcement in the floor of the House that the Government of Assam has agreed on principle to form three separate Social Economic Development Councils for Bishnupriya Manipuri, Nath Yugi and Maimal. And now the Cabinet Committee has given its nod. It will be placed in the House (not yet placed) and once it is passed, then a Ministerial Committee would consult the stake holders i.e. these three communities, regarding their aspirations and would send its recommendation accordingly to the Central Government for further action within the next two months. The two months time since been elapsed, even then the bill is yet to show its face in the House. The Ministerial consultation is quite far away. Why am I repeating the same thing now is because of a section of Bishnupriya Manipuri started quarreling for the share of so-called power, from now on, without knowing the outcome of the development which is taking place in the...
