INPUI: Hmar News & Info

By Pu L Keivom*, Inpui Columnist

For here we are not afraid to follow the truth

wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate error

so long as reason is free to combat it.

-Thomas Jefferson

Davida dungthulin, “Literechar hi ieng am a na, ei hriet fuk lop lop el ni? A ziektuhai khom iem an na, ei hlutsak èm êm el ni? Mi naran chungah siein, ropuina le chawimawina tonlairang ei intontir hi?” tia insamin ei thu chai ding hi hang phir hong inla.

Saptronga ‘Literature’ an ti hi a tlukpui thu mal eini trongah a um naw a, a umzie le a huop chin khom tawitea hril fie el thei a ni nawh. A tlângpuia ei hmang hlak chu ‘thu le hla’ ti a nih. Sienkhom, thu le hla nazong chu literechar tlinga tiem a ni ngai si nawh. Literechara tiem phak chin chu ‘thu le hla thra, mawi le hlû, indik le tlo’ a ni hlak. Chu inkhina dinga tefung ei hmang chu ieng am ning a ta? Chu inkhina fung chu hmun tinah an inang vong am a ni? An inang vong naw chun ieng lei am ning a ta? Hieng zawnahai hi fîp taka don ding chun a hrana lekhabu tam tak ziek ngai a tih. Hieng laia zawna threnkhat hi hril fie tumin French mi thiem, dawnril le thu ziek thiem hmingthang Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-80) meu khomin What is Literature? ti lekhabu a ziek hiel a ni khah.

Hmun hrang hrang le hun hrang hranga thu le hla thra ei ti le ei hlut a danglam thei. Sakhuo tienga mi an inhnik laia an thu le hla hlut tak chu an sakhuo biek le inzom thil ning a ta, sienkhom an inhnikna a chuoi ruolin chuong ang tieng thu le hla hlutna chu anniah a tla hnuoi ve el a nih.

Chu chu ei thaw hmain, trânghma kei taka ka lekha ziek a thren, a nuomna lai lai peia Hmar trong indik lo taka a hung insuo kha Saphaiin, ‘intellectual corruption’ an ti, sumpai hlepruk nêk daia suol lem le pangzatum lema an ngai a ni leiin, insuo dinga ka ziek le thon ang charin tu hin ka hung thur suok a nih. Hieng ang hin:

“Ei literechara inthokin ei hnam hmelhmang hang thlir inla.

Hi a chunga ka ziek ang hin, khawvel hmun danga an thaw danin, literechar inkhìna le bùkna lung hmangin a thil hung thur suok le hmathea a hmang lekha 42-hai hi ahmatiema inkhiin hang bûk inla, ama awm thusuok hang hril ding a um naw bakah kohran hmang dinga mi lekhabu buotsai sa, Hmar tronga a lo inlet sawng el niin a’n lang.

Mihriem ringsana nei nekin, Lalpa a innghat a thra lem.Lalhai ringsana nei nekin, Lalpa a innghat a thra lem. Sam. 118:8-9.

The political heat in Ruonglevaisuo (Tipaimukh) constituency has become hotter each passing day with “voluntary workers” of the prospective candidates for the 2012 Manipur Assembly polls trying to lure the masses to their respective camps.

The possible candidates for Ruonglevaisuo constituency, so far, are:-

1. Pu Ngursanglur Sanate  

2. Pu Dr Chaltonlien Amaw

3. Pu Dr L Fimate

4. Pu Selkai Hrangchal

Here’s one of the leaflets circulated by Pu Dr L Fimate’s “volunteers” in Ruonglevaisuo (Tipaimukh). Some villagers in Ruonglevaisuo(Tipaimukh) and Hmarkhawpui (Sipuikawn) said they were “very happy” and “proud” to keep/paste these leaflets on their doors and thatched walls.

Meanwhile, Pu Chaltonlien and Pu Ngursanglur are making their presence felt by engaging their contractors to widen the roads to Tuolbung and Maulien villages respectively.
