Halloween party ideas 2015

NEW DELHI, APRIL 1: Politics is all about impossible made possible. According to extremely reliable sources within Congress and BJP, serious rounds of discussions were held between representatives of the two parties to explore the possibilities of a post-poll alliance. Former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam is acting as the mediator for this effort.

This action was apparently triggered by a larger perception within the two national parties that none of them alone would be in a position to form the government on their terms. Early today, at 7 :45 am, LK Advani and Sonia Gandhi held an hour-long discussion on the subject as per one of the key members of 10 Janpath staff .

Details of the discussion are not available. However, the length of the discussion suggests that coming days can bring a lot of unpredictable actions in Indian politics.

REMEMBER? TODAY is 1st of APRIL: The FOOL's Day!!!

SILCHAR, MARCH 30: The plan of the Hailakandi district Congress committee in south Assam to take the help of former Reang tribal militants for campaign ahead of Lok Sabha elections has raised the hackles of the administration and police in the district.

The former rebels of the United Liberation Front of Barak Valley (ULFBV) who had been waging an armed struggle for the uplift of the Reangs in the Barak Valley, particularly in Hailakandi and Karimganj districts since 2001, joined the mainstream early last year after surrendering their weapons.

The fear of the administration and the police follows intelligence reports that taking the help of former ULFBV rebels by the Congress is likely to pit the ULFBV against the United Democratic Liberation Army, another underground outfit still active along the boundary with Mizoram.

A senior police officer in Hailakandi, the district headquarters town, said a few additional companies of paramilitary forces would be rushed to the vulnerable Katlicherra block soon to keep an eye on the former militants of the ULFBV and the other outfit to maintain peace in the run-up to the election.

The ULFBV chief, Pauchau Ram Apeto, and his cadres are now getting monetary assistance from Dispur following a peace accord with the Tarun Gogoi government signed in Guwahati early last year.

Sources said the decision of the Congress to take the help of former ULFBV cadres for campaign in Hailakandi district was taken by the district Congress early this month at the behest of Assam excise minister Gautam Roy.

Hailakandi district Congress committee president Ashok Dutta Gupta said: “There is no harm in getting the support of the former underground elements in the Reang community. We were the ones who goaded them to come overground and they, fed up with the jungle life, responded to our appeal.”

Apeto, who had orchestrated the Reang insurgency in the district for seven years, said he would render all necessary assistance required by the Congress for electioneering as an act of gratitude to the party for setting in motion the surrender process last year.

The United Democratic Liberation Army, led by Dhainyaram Reang, 45, a one-time associate of Apeto, has started sending extortion notices to the plains people in Katlicherra block, the bastion of Roy.

The police have confirmed that Abdul Hasim Laskar, a rich farmer-cum-small businessman and resident of Nandagram village under Katlicherra, was told to pay Rs 1 lakh by the outfit which operates in Rajarthal, Gutguti and Bhaicherra — the former strongholds of the ULFBV.

Sources added that former underground activists of the Cachar Hill People Federation led by T. Sangkhum, a Hmar tribal, are also being wooed by the AGP-BJP combine and the Congress to garner their cadres’ support and use them in campaigning.

The gang joined the mainstream in the early nineties when Hiteswar Saikia was the chief minister of Assam.

IMPHAL, MARCH 29, 2009: To promote musical instruments used by the tribals in Manipur a seminar on Indigenous Tribal Folk Musical Instruments of Manipur was held at the State Guest House in Imphal this morning.

The seminar was organised by Tribal Museum and Research Centre, Imphal and sponsored by ministry of culture, government of India. Various resource persons highlighted the instruments used by different tribes in the state.

Kholi Mao who highlighted the Mao musical instruments maintained that among the Mao tribe music plays a very unique role in their daily life and every other field of work. Music accompanies the people whether young or old and is sung or played before and after a particular work. Even while cooking this unique blend of music and their busy hands keeps the tempo and their life appears to be never tired of forging ahead, he explained.

The rhythmic songs are sung in groups to encourage those involved in jhumming, gathering of wood, planting of paddy seedlings etc. One of the special attributes of these songs is that it gives company to those working alone in a far away place making them enjoy the work in which they are engaged, he said. Some of the musical instruments which are widely used are Sokei Khebu, Makhi Khebu, Soki Moki, Khetsu and Kaka-Lobvu, according to the expert.

Reuben Mashangva who highlighted the musical instruments and folk songs of the Tangkhuls said that the traditional Tangkhuls had songs and music for almost all occasions. Festivals were celebrated with songs and in fact no celebration could be complete without songs.

The melodies of the Tangkhul folk songs and music are predominantly of the pantothenic scales, and styles of singing are varied, he said adding that some are sung with subtle slurring and such songs are very hard for learners new to them.

K Lanlilung highlighted the traditional musical instruments of the Zeliangrong asserted that the Zeliangrong is the combination of the prefix of the cognate tribes namely Zemei, Liangmei, Rongmei and Puimei.

He also said that the Zeliangrong have very rich quality of music and dance. They use different kinds of music performance of cultural dances, merry making etc. and various musical instruments are used during dance, song, yelling of Hoi and many other ceremonies, he observed. These musical devices are made from metal, wood and leather together, horn of mithun for blowing, scale of coconut, bamboo etc., he said

The seminar was also attended by Dr. Lai Imo who highlighted the indigenous musical instruments of Chothe tribe, Achou Kom for musical instruments of Kom tribe, Manipur and Daliensung for musical instruments of Hmar.

AIZAWL, (PTI): Mizoram has old age homes but very few residents, because for a Mizo, looking after aged parents and in-laws is never a matter of choice.

"Our close family setup since the days of our forefathers is the major reason why we do not have lonely elders languishing in old-age homes," K Malsawma, a former president of the Mizoram Upa Pawl (MUP), the state's apex elders's association says.

Malsawma, a retired state civil service officer, says that in a Mizo family, the youngest son usually inherited the property and was also entrusted with looking after parents getting on in years.

"The younger generation is undoubtedly keeping up the cultural values alive," he says with a touch of pride pointing out that though Mizo society was highly westernised it did not follow the West in keeping senior citizens in old-age homes.

In this regard, the wife of the youngest son in the family is the main person who is reponsible for looking after the well being of in-laws, a social worker said.

For Zoramthangi, a 24 year-old government employee, looking after her ailing in-laws is not an option.

"They looked after us when we were young and needed them, so we will look after them in return as they are part of our life," she says simply.

BANGALORE, MARCH 27: With barely a few days left for filing nominations for the first phase of Lok Sabha elections in the state, political observers are keenly watching how many Muslim candidates would be fielded, by the two principal “secular parties in the state” - Congress and JD(S). It is already clear now that the other major political party - BJP, which is trying to capture power at the Centre on its avowed Hindutva plank is unlikely to field any Muslim candidate in the state.

According to indications available, while the Congress is toying with the idea of fielding three Muslim candidates out of the total 28 seats in the state, the JD(S) is contemplating on fielding two Muslim candidates. The likely Congress candidates are - former Union Minister C K Jaffer Sharief from either Bangalore Central or Bangalore North, former MLC Saleem Ahmed or former Lok Sabha member Prof I G Sanadi from Haveri seat and former MP Iqbal Ahmed Saradgi from Bidar.

Of these, the chances of Sharief getting the Congress ticket for the Bangalore Central constituency appear bleak as the high command is learnt to have decided to field former police officer H T Sangliana from there. In that case, the Congress may field Sharief from Bangalore North. Moreover, political circles are agog with rumours of Sharief joining the JD(S) to contest from Bangalore Central, in case the Congress denies him ticket from the seat. The chances of Saradgi, who won from the Gulbarga Lok Sabha seat in 1999 and 2004 elections, getting the ticket for Bidar would hinge on whether another aspirant N Dharam Singh gets the ticket or not.

JD(S) is toying with the idea of fielding Chamarajpet MLA Zameer Ahmed Khan, from the Bangalore Central constituency in case Sharief fails to contest from there, either on a Congress or JD(S) ticket. JD(S) is also said to have already decided to field its state working president Iqbal Ansari from Koppal Lok Sabha seat.

Is is worth recalling that Karnataka has a long history of electing two or three Muslim candidates to the Lok Sabha, out of the total 28 seats since 1957.

Traditionally, it is the erstwhile Bangalore North (following delimitation it is now known as Bangalore Central) and the Dharwad South (now Haveri Lok Sabha seat) which have elected Muslim candidates to the Lok Sabha.

BANGALORE, MARCH 27: The Congress top boss will have the last word on who will be fielded from six contentious Lok Sabha seats in Karnataka as the party
dithers over releasing its list of candidates for the 28 constituencies in the state.

While the list of candidates has been finalised for most seats, Congress president Sonia Gandhi has been requested to step in as the final arbiter for four constituencies in Bangalore as well the Mandya and Chitradurga seats, party sources said.

On Tuesday, word was spread that the Congress list for the southern state would be released in the national capital, but the party only flattered to deceive. It has been unable to resolve the differences over some key seats amid concerns that those denied a chance to contest could rebel or even desert it.

The Bangalore North, Bangalore South, Bangalore Central and Bangalore Rural constituencies have been particularly tricky to handle for the parliamentary board, which has tossed the ball into Ms Gandhi’s court.

AIZAWL, MARCH 25: People of Mizoram have accepted demarcation of Mizoram-Assam boundary as notified by the British India Government in 1875 and should unitedly strive for settlement of the border dispute till the end, Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla said in the Assembly yesterday.

At a discussion on Assam-Miozoram boundary dispute during the question hour, Thanhawla said the demarcation of Mizoram-Assam border by the Assam Government in 1933 was not acceptable to the Mizos as they were never consulted before issuing the notification on March 9, 1933.

Opposition members also echoed the same sentiments saying the boundary as demarcated by the Governor General in Council and notified in 1875 should be accepted as the inter-State boundary between the two neighbouring States.

Border dispute between the two States had triggered a plethora of incidents and the Mizoram Government deployed additional police force along the Mizoram-Karimganj district border recently due to fresh incidets of “intimidation” by Assam officials at Phaisen village.

Mizoram Assembly had unanimously adopted an official resolution on March 9, 2006 urging the Centre to constitute a Boundary Commission to solve the vexed boundary dispute and an all-party delegation had submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister in 2007 in the matter.

BANGALORE, MARCH 25: It is a party which is more than a century old and has too many ‘heavy weights’. And, naturally the high command is under too much pressure to accommodate every senior leader’s wish list while choosing candidates for the Lok Sabha constituencies.

Congress sources said a good number of senior leaders have been trying to get their names included or trying to get their followers’ name included in the list which has to get the final approval by Sonia Gandhi.

The new names which have been reportedly included over the last few days are - Arathi Krishna, Community Development Officer, US Embassy, Washington for Udupi-Chikmagalur, Jayaprakash Hegde, former minister for Udupi-Chikmagalur, Prof Rajiv Gowda (Bangalore South), former minister Margret Alva (Karwar), Kodandaramaiah (Tumkur), Jayaram Reddy, a realtor, K C Ramamurthy, former IPS officer, Vasanti Shivanna, Prof B K Chandrashekar, Ramesh Kumar and T V Maruthi (all for Bangalore South).

Sources said that former CM Veerappa Moily’s name has been included in the panel of names for both Chikkaballapur and Mangalore constituencies, Vinay Kumar Sorake (Udupi-Chikmagalur), C K Jaffer Sharief has been reportedly replaced by H T Sangliana for Bangalore Central.

Party sources said if Moily contests from Chikkaballapur, the JD(S) will field Bhavani, wife of H D Revanna. But the JD(S) has been denying any such move. “Some of the seniors are just using their clout to include their names or their associates’ names, in the list. The list had been approved by the State poll panel,” a senior leader said.

For years on end, these people have been living in the huts lining the footpaths.
BANGALORE: A large number of commercial establishments, posh residential localities and dense population -- that is Shivajinagar for you. And sadly, one look at the constituency will tell you that many of the promises made by previously elected representatives have remained just hollow words.

Situated right in the heart of the city, the constituency is plagued by several issues.Except Jayamahal extension, all other areas, including Vasanthnagar, Ulsoor, Bhartinagar and Shivajinagar areas are in a bad shape.Narrow roads, heavy traffic, inadequate drinking water supply and sanitation facilities, encroached foothpaths and 'hafta vasooli' are common here.

The posh Jayamahal extension, however, experiences only one problem - garbage being dumped on the roads.

Though senior leaders like C K Jaffer Sharief and former top cop H T Sangliana have represented it as a part of the Bangalore North LS seat, they have done little to improve its infrastructure.

With LS polls round the corner, the mood here is anything but upbeat.Speaking to The New Indian Express, ex-corporator of the Bhartinagar area, S Pari said that this constituency needs a makeover."The new MP will have to take up civic issues such as drinking water and sanitation as priority. Water contamination problem has not been addressed.This is because the water lines and the sanitary lines are overlapping.

TUITHRAPHAI, MARCH 24: Marking the second anniversary of the 'Kuki Students' Uprising' in New Delhi, the armed outfit Kuki National Organisation today said the organization saluted all the student organizations and specially the '154 brave students who were dumped inside the Tihar Jail' for demonstrating their solidarity towards the cause and sufferings of the Kukis.

"On this historic day, the 23rd March 2007, more than 800 Kuki Students in Delhi & NCR along with other students' organization surrendered their career, time and pure blood to dissent the legacy of British Imperialist towards the Kukis propagated by the Manipur and Central Govt of India," reads the KNO communique signed by Lenin H Kuki, Secy Info & Pub.

The uprising according to the outfit was evoked by the raping of 20 Hmar-Kuki women at Parbung (Inpui note: Should be Lungthulien Village inplace of Parbung) besides maiming many Kukis by planting landmines and IEDs by the UNLF.

They also abducted in collaboration with the military Junta of Myanmar more than 700 innocent Kukis from Chandel district including aged, infants and pregnant women on the night of 13 March, 2007, it further contended.

The students who marched towards the Indian Parliament on this fateful day were provoked by these indecent and barbarous acts.

They were meted with defamatory words, molested, lathi charged, hurled with canons and tear gas and firing by Delhi Police, alleged the statement.

BANGALORE,MARCH 21: Senior Congressman C K Jaffer Sharief, it looks, knows the art of being in news during elections. On Saturday, the rumour mill worked overtime saying that Sharief may quit the Congress to join the BSP or the JD(S).

The rumour-mongers said Sharief, who has sought ticket to contest from Bangalore Central, is planning to join the BSP. And, in all probability, he would contest the poll under the ‘elephant’ symbol.

Another source said that JD(S) leader H D Deve Gowda met Sharief between 1 pm and 3.15 pm to request him to join the JD(S).

A source in the Congress said Oscar Fernandes is not for fielding Sharief because H T Sangliana has sought ticket to contest from Bangalore Central.

Last Friday, a group of minority community leaders met Sonia Gandhi at Delhi. “Iqbal Saradagi, Rehman Khan and Jaffer Sharief were part of the group. Sharief had earlier told Sonia that he will not contest the polls.

In contrast, he tried to seek ticket which left the Madam infuriated. It seems the party has promised Sangliana a ticket,” a Congress leader said.Another source said that the high command, realising that Sharief may quit the Congress, has sent a team of leaders to pacify him and retain him in the party. When contacted, Sharief spiked the rumours by saying, “I am a Congressman and I will contest from Bangalore Central.” Asked whether he met Gowda this afternoon, he replied in the negative while saying Gowda is a good friend of him and both keep meeting each other.

When asked whether he has a chance to get ticket with Sangliana being a strong contender, Sharief said, “How can Sangliana be considered as a strong contender? I lost the seat last time with just 16,000 votes. I had represented the constituency for 35 years. I have not sought ticket from any other party. The BSP has not approached me.” Asked whether he would cross over to other party if the Congress denies him ticket, he said he would cross the bridge when he comes to it.

Source: Deccan Herald

Deccan Chronicle quoting senior Congress leader in New Delhi reports that Pu HT Sangliana is the undisputed candicate for Bangalore Central constituency. The party will not change its commitments made to Sangliana for having voted for the N-deal, the Congress leader was quoted as saying.

Congress list for Karnataka is likely to be announced on Monday (March 23) when party chief Sonia Gandhi will arrive in the state for campaign.

::BY ESTHER HRANGATE::

Tales of the life of the native tribals of Sielkan, living on the brink of civilization, in the wilderness of the Jaintia Hills, have been of great interest to us. In order to actually witness their folksy lifestyle with our own eyes and also experience them, five of us decided to go in search of them along with a native tribal guide with profound knowledge about the forest. There were many to discourage us by saying that it’s too far, the paths too difficult and dangerous. But there is a saying when one’s curiosity is at its peak, one forgets the distance, the dangers and the hardships.

We started our journey on our foot from Lumshnong which is about 120 kms from Shillong. We followed a narrow forest track that opened before us vistas of natural beauties in the form of rippling rivulets, cascading waterfalls and also dangerous rocky terrain. After a long exhausting climb through rocky terrain, we got quite accustomed to the hardships and dangers its topography had to offer and accepted them as a challenge. But we had to wage almost a losing war against the leeches, our perpetual adversary. Eventually we saw some sign of life in the form of freshly made human footprints and a bamboo gateway, much to our relief.. A distant sound of a drum with unmistakingly tribal beat could be faintly heard. A sigh of relief escaped us when we sighted a rugged hut built in a most primitive style on the hill top. At last we have reached the obscure and remote village of Sielkan, far away from the madding crowd and the hustle-bustle of the cities and towns, when we had almost given up hope.

Inhabitants of this village are of mixed population with a strength of about 60 people. Chaos and confusion caused by the age old sporadic ethnic strives in various parts of the north-eastern region, have kept many tribes always on the move like the nomads on a look out for a greener pasture. Perhaps the people of Sielkan belong to this category, who have found Sielkan as a green pasture to make their settlement.

HUTS: Their rugged huts are built in a very crude fashion two or three feets above the ground, supported by wooden stilts. Dried leaves, reeds, wood and coarse bamboo mattings are extensively used for the flooring and the roof. Skillfully weaved and arranged to form pattern which looks pleasing to the eyes, although they are crudely made. Clearly reflecting the generiosity of nature and their complete dependence on her. The simple motive behind building their huts on high stilts are –convenience in feeding their live stocks, for their keeping their huts warm and free from insects lurking on the ground. Its a dwelling completely cut out to with stand and resist all kinds of hardships nature had in store for them. And above all its simplicity and crudity perfectly suits their lifestyle. Contrary to the dream house of a modern man.

The hut has no separate compartment that means no secrets to hide. In the centre there is a hearth that keeps the hut warm and cosy. The soot from the firewood seems to have given a darkish hue to the inner part of the hut. There is a canopy like structure call the RAP, just above fire place, effectively used to store dried vegetables, meat, fish, corns and grains that can be economically used during the time of scarcity. Only a few crude utensils are there to adorn their huts.

LIFE SCHEDULE: Life begins early in this village where the cock still rules the roast. The Chief and his wife are already up performing their daily chores on the threshold of their little hut. Perhaps they are preparing a feast. Chilli or red pepper is their hot favourite. It is usually used to spice up their food.So,the chief’s daughter grinds her favourite chillies in a hand made, traditional bamboo grinder called the ‘THEIKHUONG’. For them food without chilli is like life without a smile. The women folks are busy grinding the grains in a traditional grinder called the ‘SUM’. While grinding, even two persons can take turn but one must keep the timing. They feel that two grinders are always better, as it saves them a lot of time. After grinding the grains they winnow them in order to separate the husks from the grains. The young daughter of the chief separates the cotton seeds from the cotton bales, freshly picked from the field with a traditional hand made equipment called the’ HERAWT’. It got the name Herawt by virture of the rickety sound it produces while operating it. Little children synchronises a catchy folk song with the rickety rhythm of the Herawt. This merry scene reflects complacency and division of labour in perfect harmony.

THE OLD MAN: Meanwhile the tidings of new visitors have reached the ears of the wise old man of the village. Gregarious by nature, he immediately rushes to the chief’s dwelling to share pleasantry with us as a gesture of goodwill. He entertains us with the tales of his brave deeds, a reminiscence of his younger days making him totally nostalgic.

TOILET: The call of the nature compels the old man to proceed towards a self made pit behind the hut in order to relieve himself. In built facility of a toilet or a latrine is totally absent in the conception of a dwelling. Civic sense is just out of question. As the old man proceed towards the pit, a pig strolling nearby immediately understood the call of nature, as they are accustomed to their daily chores of cleaning the mess or the excreta, in their own way. It merrily follows the old man to have his fill. The pair makes a comical sight, but the use of a unhygienic open air pit near ones’ dwelling and also allowing ones’ live stocks to indulge in ones’ excreta speaks a volume. A need for a better alternative.

THE HUNTER: The proud hunter of the village preserves the rare feathers, hides, skins and skulls of some unfortunate birds and animals, he had shot a long time ago as trophies, in order to keep the tradition of his brave ancestors alive. He proudly displays them before us. His little toddler fondles and plays with them little knowing that these trophies are his family’s pride. The fast decreasing numbers of wild life in the forest nearby makes the hunter quite apprehensive about his reputation as a hunter. At the same time, he also vaguely realizes in his own way, that if indiscriminate hunting of birds and animals continues then very soon he wouldn’t have the pleasure of showing his grand children the rare birds and animals in the nearby forest but will be reduced to just trophies. This conflicting thoughts greatly disturbs him, little knowing about the stringent terms of the wild life protection Act.

BREAST FEEDING: Here, one of a friend tries in vain to enlighten the women folks that breast feeding not only keeps the well nourished but also gives a boost to the child’s immunity system. But she feels that these informations are beyond her comprehension. She breast feeds them simply to keep them well nourished, cheerful and above all to strengthen the bond between her and her siblings. Simple reasons but quite true. As the child burps and coughs, she blows his thumb. A most traditional way to stop her child from puking.

A FEAST: The chief known for his hospitable nature invites us for a lunch. A lunch at the chief’s dwelling will surely be a sumptuous one, no doubt. For lunch the women folks have laid out the delicacies they have prepared on the banana leaves to display their culinary talents. The aroma and sight of these delicacies have already started creating havoc among the children. Mouth watering, they stare longingly at the food. For them visitors are rare and a feast with them with so many delicacies together is rarer.

The whole family of the chief sits together to have their meal in a traditional ‘Thlengpui’ or a giant size plate. The women folks serves the curry in the centre of the plate and the rice all around it. Each member has their own respective share. This tradition fosters a feeling of unity, intimacy and above all to be contented with one’s share. During social gathering friends and kinfolks also make use of this ‘Thlengpui’ to reap its social benefits. It’s a primitive tradition yet it has a significant social relevance.

A BIRTH OF A NEW MEMBER: The amazing sight of a female goat giving birth to a new life was called to our attention. The poor mother struggles hard, as the baby still confined in the flimsy membranous placenta, with blood oozing out, was pushing its way out of the womb through the genital of its mother. The newly born baby with placenta and umbilical cords still intact, struggles to catch its first breath and glimpse of the world around it. A sight which made our hairs stands on end. Indeed nature has peculiar way of bringing in new life into this world. But it becomes a source of great joy and a cause for celebration to the simple villagers. It means an addition of a new member to their village. Be it a baby goat or a baby boy makes no difference to them. A mere birth of a kid, can bring so much joy reflects the untainted simplicity of the villagers even to the point of being infantile.

HARVEST: The young farmer of the village is all ready to set out for his field. He feels that one must start the day early after all its harvest season. Carrying a huge basket like structure called the ‘Pikong’, he walks happily towards his field. Very soon he will be reaping the fruit of his hard labour.

The yellow paddy fields rippling under the sun are the price possession of these villagers, a source of their very existence. They proudly show us their possession. For them November is the harvest season much look forward by them. When they can reap the fruit of their hard labour. Harvest to these villagers is totally a social affair with no religious colouring. A time when the whole family come together and flow as one. From the youngest to the eldest understands and performs their daily duties instinctively with little or no training of any kind to the best of their ability. A ‘Tru’ is a hut like structure build in the centre of the field. Effectively used to keep a proper vigilance over the field. A part of it is use as a barn to keep not only grains but also fruits and vegetables.

We all seem to have made this useful shelter, a fine resting place where we can leisurely enjoy watching the harvesting activities as well as enjoy the fruits of hard labour which the villagers have put at our disposal. A nice juicy cucumber to start with.

The field with its diverse vegetation have somewhat decreased their dependence on the outside world. As days go by their needs are also increasing as they seem to have developed a penchant for sugar, tea, salt and clothes. This have compelled them to stay connected to the world around them. Now they are only partially self relient.

SOURCES OF WATER: Be it in a big city or in a remote village the basic needs of the people are the same only quality differs. Water being the basic need for survival, the women folks of Sielkan have to walk miles to fulfill their need as inbuilt water supply facilities like Taps, Tanks or even Wells just out of their bound. Underground sink holes in the caverns and caves, rivulets and waterfalls are the only known sources of water. They have to climb down dangerous rocky paths to reach these sink holes. A fatal exercise out of necessity. But hard life have made them sturdy and highly adaptable to the hard conditions, little knowing about the promise of comforts, they are missing outside their world.

But a rational intervention like harnessing their natural resources with the help of modern equipments like pipes, pumps and water reservoir, can bring water closer to their vicinity. Which will go a long way in easing their hardships and also in improving the quality of their life.

EDUCATION: Years back the ancestors of these people were in the clutches of animism, which called for many primitive in human practices. But their absorbtion into Christianity have partially freed them from the shackles of their dark past. Awakening in them the need to master the alphabets or the A-Aw-B-Cho. Which will open the gateway to the vast treasures of the BIBLE, translated in the local dialects. So their religious need have compelled them to turn their back against illiteracy and the dark shadows of the past with little effort.

They do not have proper formal institutions like schools to impart formal education to the children. Instead education is the responsibility of parents and the church elders, imparted informally when the need arises without being bounded by time or space.

CONCLUSION: The simple value systems of these people have taught them in a hard way to be contented with their live. They live in their own world, an isolated cocoon which is still unpolluted by materialism. But one can’t turn a blind eye to the fact that inspite of their lands being naturally endowed with resources like a beautiful topography which can boast of having a number of caves, caverns with sink holes, waterfall, rivulets and above all a very fertile land. But the people have to still experience a hard and difficult life devoid of any quality. Lack of proper roads and communications have kept them isolated, backward and deprived. Unless concrete steps are taken to their advantage, they will remain marooned in their own world buried in their dark past.

IMPHAL, MARCH 20: Teer, a form of gambling which originated in Meghalaya has become a new found craze of the people of Jiribam sub-division.

People here have been literally hooked to the gambling game that many denizens have forgotten their chores and other important activities of life.

If one observes, groups of people will be seen talking to each other at tea stalls in the morning talking about their dreams of the previous night.

They believe that their dreams give them some secret message or hint about the number of tickets which may win prizes next day.

Results of this gambling are given twice in a day much to the delight and anguish of the gamblers.

The numerical game which starts with digits 00 to 99 is played twice in a day as first round and second round.

A winning ticket that costs Re one can fetch a prize of Rs 80 in the first round draw.

The second round draw can fetch Rs 70 from the ticket of same price.

There is another jackpot round called "Forecast" in which a lucky person can win Rs 2000 by a ticket of Re one when numbers of both rounds match with the winning ticket.

However, the new found craze has become a sort of scourge with attention of the people focused on this gambling.

Even Govt employees including teachers have fallen prey to this game of lottery.

One would observe groups of Government employees engage in animated talks about the game while paying little or no attention to their responsibilities and duties.

One can also find enthusiasts of this game thronging some shops/kiosks where books that interpret books are sold.

One individual, obviously addicted to this game, said on condition of anonymity, that if he saw a dead person in his dream, he would go for ticket having number 00 (double zero).

If he saw a male he would go for No 6 and No 5 in case he saw a female.

Nowadays, there is nothing called bad omens or bad dreams as everything one saw in the dream can be interpreted into winning numbers in this game of gambling, he said.

n Angam Kuki, an agent of the gambling game, said that he could earn at least Rs 1000 per day.

Sometimes, the daily earning from selling tickets went up to Rs 5000. Another agent identified as S Roy said that Rs 4000 to 5000 could be earned on a good day.

But Sunday is most dull and disliked by every body as there is no draw of Teer at Shillong on Sunday.

But on the other side, one T Hmar hooked to the game, disclosed that she has sold off some of her belongings to keep in touch with the gambling.

"Even though I have lost, I cannot resist the temptation of this gambling game', Hmar confided.

Taking serious note of the social menace caused by this gambling game, a social activist said that it is high time for the law enforcing agency to curb the current trend of gambling.
