BMWF gains tensile strength

Post Bureau
GUWAHATI, April 24

In its triennial meeting held at Radha-Madhab Sebashram at Maligaon in Guwahati on Sunday with its president Dils Lakshmindra Sinha in the chair, the Bishnupriya Manipuri Writers’ Forum (BMWF) reconstituted and expanded its central executive body by inducting more writers into its fold.
With this expansion, the forum has gained a great deal of tensile strength matching the gravity of literary and cultural events like the recently held international Bishnupriya Manipuri literary and cultural festival it holds from time to time.    

Following a unanimous decision, the forum, however, opted to re-elect Dils Sinha as its president, Narendra Kumar Sinha as vice-president and Santosh Sinha as general secretary. The triennial meeting expanded the central executive body of the forum by creating the post of an office secretary, two posts of advisers and increasing the number of executive members from three to 14. While poet Nanigopal Sinha and writer (advocate) Bimalesh Sinha have been elected as advisers, Ashok Sinha has been elected as the office secretary.

Poet Krishna Prasad Sinha, poet (hon captain) Satyabrata Sinha, writers Pratibha Sinha, Shyamasakhi Sinha, Moushami Sinha (senior), Moushami Sinha (junior), Rinku Sinha and Annie Sinha are among the new executive members in the expanded committee.

The meeting that began with a positive note after the successful completion of the two-day International Bishnupriya Manipuri Literary and Cultural Festival from February 18 this year took a number of resolutions. Publication of a collection of short stories, publication of the rachanabali (write-ups) of late Braja Kumar Sinha (Pocha Ojha), conducting workshops on short-story writing, poetry writing etc., according to Dils Sinha, are in the literary venture taken up by the triennial meeting of the forum.

  1. Let the BMWF continue doing the yeoman's service to the cause of spreading social education.Earlier we have learnt that the Forum was established with the purpose to serve and fulfil the following :-
    1. Collect,preserve & publsh.....N.E India.
    2. Documentation of folk life...... ,,
    3. To coduct research........time to time.
    4. To set up a pearl cultural unit.state/cout
    5. Conduct workshop on translation studies.
    and also there are another seven more points, and no where we could find organising of Intl.Literary and Cultural festival.Anyway such festival can be organised on any pretext.
    There is a saying," start by doing what is necessary,then what is possible, and suddenly you can see, you are doing the impossible".Here it is just opposite.It was started with a impossible one keeping the other necessary things in abeyance.
    We were waiting quite eagerly for what had been achieved during last 3 yrs; but except so called Intl.festival.nothing had been discussed.

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...

Smart Study

By Surajit Sinha, New Delhi All about studying Since all the competitive exams are based on multiple choice question patterns, I would suggest you to study in a CBSE curriculum especially if you are in north east. If you want to make it in IIT/Engineering start preparing from class VIII. If you want to make a career as a academician or a research/scientist then only enroll for a Bachelor of Science course. Otherwise wipe out these courses from your mind. For engineering aspirants it is best to enroll yourself to a coaching institute, which not only refine your skill but also give a boost to your confidence. if you are not good enough in studies, do not hesitate to join ITI (industrial training institute), believe me this will catch you a fortune in terms of your academic capability. Girls can opt for various vocational training courses offered by local vocational colleges. The latest in thing in studying is nano-technology, bio-technology, these two fields holds the future of industry...
