INPUI: Hmar News & Info

We have been very vocal about the menace of eve teasing or teasing of girls.

One of our blogger Irene Amo also has spoken on the same issue through her videos… to create an awareness.

As celebrations for the New Year is on full swing, revelers and party-goers booze, let maintain social decorum by regaining the sense that even a lonely or party goer lady could be your very own relative..even your own sister. (See the video below as to why you should not tease woman)

Let’s spread the message of love and respect in 2012!

We wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

1.L.Keivom le Pherzawl: L.Keivom le a pienga khuo Pherzawl hi the thei an ni nawh. Thu le hla a lakna hnar chu Pherzawl a nih zing.

Amaah Pherzawl le tuta a chengna Delhi hi tangka hmai hni ang an nih ti hi lekhabu hin a hril chieng hle.(Editors:p.16).

2. Hnamah a chieng: Hi lekhabu sunga thusep ziektuhai po povin an ziek hmaih thei nawh chu L.Keivom hnama a chiengna hi a nih. Ram le hnam hmangaihnaa sip liemin, ei ram ei hnam a ta tlawk tlawk hlak (L.B.Sinate:p.110). A hnam hi a suong a, thuin amani hlain amani, a hnam le ram mawina le a hmangaihnahai hi an zawt mathlawn nawh. Hieng hnam hlahaia inthawk hin hnam hmangaihna (patriotism) le mani hnam ngaisangna a hung hring suok a, hnam inthuruolna a hung ra suok peih bawk a nih. Ama hnama a chiengna lei hin mi dang khawma hnama piengtharna an hung nei pha hiel hlak. L.Fimate chun hieng hin a lo ziek a: “L.Keivom le a hlahai lei hin ka hnam invawihna nun hi an chawm em em a.

Lamka, Dec 27: The Manipur Hill Journalists Union has condemned what it termed an “insult” to the press by IPR Minister Mr TN Haokip. 

The MHJU has asked the minister to tender an apology within two days failing which it threatened to boycott the him.

It may be mentioned that the MHJU team under its president Mr Thangzalian had tried to meet Mr Haokip over the issue of MHJU members proposed Internal Tour-cum-Refresher Course to Moreh. However, the minister “abruptly and disdainfully” refused to entertain the journalists, a press statement issued by the union said.

The MHJU accused the minister of using “abusive language” besides allegedly stating that “the Union should not approach and talk to him in regards to any MHJU matters.”

“The MHJU wonders why Shri TN Haokip, being a representative of the people and a minister of Information and Publicity, should  conduct himself towards a press institution in such a brusque manner,” the MHJU said, adding, Mr Haokip’s “immediate apology” was a must to avoid further action.

The most popular Hmar dance, Fahrel Tawk Lam was performed by the Hmar Cultural Troupe from NC Hills, Assam, during the Mysore Dasara Festival 2011, in Karnataka. (Video Given Below)

The Fahrel Tawk Lam (Pestel Dance) is often referred to as the ‘Bamboo Dance’ due to the common use of bamboo shaft during performances by dancers in towns and cities.

Several attempts have been made to bring uniformity in the dance form by the Hmar community leaders, but the ‘wooden pestel’ is aslo gradually replaced by bamboo even in village events.

Haire Hai 4 is almost ready for the public and the expectations are even "higher", according to Lalsanglien Zote, the man behind the popular titled ‘Haire Hai’ series of music albums. Inpui.com sources said that Haire Hai 4 “will be released before Christmas or in early 2012” depending on the outcome of the final touches.

Meanwhile, take a look at the orginal video of Haire Hai.   

By Prof Lal Dena, Inpui.com Patron and History professor at the Manipur University.

The Gospel according to Mathew writes: “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, ‘where is he that is born King of the Jews for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him” (Mathew 2:1-2)

Most spectacular and extraordinary astronomical phenomenon did occur on the night when Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, was born at Bethlehem. This was the appearance of what is popularly known as the Star of Bethlehem which guided the wise men from the East to the small town of Bethlehem in Palestine. What was this star? Or was it a comet? Was it a supernova? Was it completely a new star? Opinions of the astrologers are sharply divided on the nature of the star.
First, some scientists are of the view that the star could perhaps be a certain kind of a comet. It is popularly believed that the sight of such comet was a bad omen foretelling an impending famine or disaster. Could the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, be regarded as a bad omen? At the same time, we cannot ignore what had happened soon after the birth of Jesus. Herod ordered to kill all the boys below two years old in Bethlehem and its vicinity with a sole motive of killing the babe Jesus whom he considered to be a potential danger to his position.

Secondly, Johannes Kepler contends that the Star of Bethlehem must have been a supernova that appeared as a result of the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the year 7 B.C. The conjunction that Kepler thought was the cause of the generation of the nova, has itself come to be regarded by many as the Star of Bethlehem. As a matter of fact, in the course of the year 7 B.C., a conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the constellation of Pisces occurred three times. Again this incident took place on 19 May, 7 B.C.

Thirdly, God is the creator of the world. Through him all things were made, without him nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:3). So most popular view among the Christians is that God had specially created the star to reveal to the world that Jesus Christ was born at Bethlehem to save mankind. The star guided the wise men to Bethlehem and maybe, after it had done the work, disappeared again.

Now let us try to identify the wise men. Who were the three wise men? In the original Greek text, the wise men are called Magi. The Magi of the Bible story were first elevated to kingship in the sixth century by Caesarius of Arles. As per the Jewish historical documents, the wise men were Melchior, Casper and Balthasar who were of course well-versed in “magical” practices, being experts in the methods of astrology. They were highly learned men and perhaps belonged to a royal class and this fact is testified by their kingly dress and precious gifts to the babe Jesus.

Melchior was a Greek by nationality. He looked elderly with a grey hair and long beard. Caspar was believed to have come from India. He still looked young without beard with a little bit of red face. Balthasar looked pale with a short beard and was believed to have come from Egypt. It is thus an established fact that the three wise men belonged to different nationalities coming from different countries. The question here is: where did they meet? From which country did they start their pilgrimage to Bethlehem? There is no consensus opinion on this. Persia, (Iran) once a powerful empire in the Old Testament times, could be the place where the wise men met and studied together here. In English Bible, the wise men are called Magi. The Greek term Magi means to Magus which refers to a Zoroastrian priest of Persia. Maybe from Persia, the three wise men started their journey to Jerusalem in search of the newly born babe Jesus. Other scholars have suggested that Arabia (Saudi Arabia) or Babulon (Iraq) could perhaps the place from the wise men first sighted the star and then proceeded to Jerusalem.

Let us now see the impact of the Star of Bethlehem on mankind. The Star had both positive and negative impacts on mankind. First, it appears that the wise men were deeply devoted religious people, well-versed in Old Testament scriptures which foretold the birth of Jesus Christ. As soon as they sighted the star, they realized that it was the star of God, for they said, “We have seen his star in the east.” Faithfully did they follow it perhaps riding on their camel which was the common means of long journey at that time and had come to Jerusalem. Perplexed at the loss of the star in Jerusalem, they came to Herod and asked: “Where is he that is born of the king of the Jews?” But they did not give it up. They persistently kept on moving and Mathew records, “After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped him.”(Mat.2:9-10). Meichior offered a gift of gold, Casper frankincense, and Balthasar myrrh to babe Jesus. Thus to those who believed, the Star of Bethlehem gave an exceeding joy, an eternal joy.

There are other groups of people who were impacted by the star negatively. Herod, the priests and the scholars of law were confused and perplexed. They had soon frantically conducted their high level research by consulting old documents and had come across what Micah, a prophet, had prophesied: “But, Bethlehem, Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel.” (Micah,5:2). For majority of mankind, seeing is not belief. They go on with their own wisdom but being blinded their own understanding. What happened to Herod? Power-hungry and blood thirsty Herod indulged not only in mass infanticide but also butchered his own family members - his wife Mariamme, mother-in-law Alexandra, his three sons – Antipater, Alexander, Aristobulus, his brother-in-law, his uncle and other close relatives who were likely to claim the kingship. Look at our society today. There are still many small Herods who are playing with innocent lives.

Let us re-read the passage we have quoted at the beginning and meditate upon it. Let us see what impact it has on us. We can learn, if we want, both good and bad lessons from the behaviors of the wise men, the priests, scholars of law and Herod. For those who believe, the Star of Bethlehem is the star of promise, love, faith, hope and peace which are the only lasting foundation of a happy and stable society. For those who are obstinate, it is a star of confusion, jealousy, revenge and murder. Which one we should choose? It is up to us. On this happy day of Christmas, grace and peace to all of us from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Happy Christmas.

he action show by children and the Keivom Choirs were another attraction.

At times, there was interaction between Pu Keivom and the audience.

Mr David Buhril, chairman of SHIPRO gave his keynote highlighting the contributions of Pu Keivom through his melodious songs.

Here are some photos from the event-Editor, Inpui.com

We, on behalf of Saikot Sub Division Demand Committee and Saikot TD Block inhabitants would like to appraise the State Government the rising public discontentment against non up gradation of Saikot TD Block to the status of Sub-Division Circle at par along with the Tuibuong and Sangaikot TD Blocks. The Saikot TD Block was created along with the Tuibuong and Sangaikot TD Blocks as per Manipur Gazette Order No.15/11/2003-Dev (P) dated 24^th December, 2003. The up gradation of Saikot TD Block is the long felt need of need of 19,256 people inhabiting Saikot TD Block, Churachandpur residing in 39 villages consisting of 3,222 household (As per the 2010-‘11 Hill House counting). The area is inhabited by different tribes consisting of Thadou, Paite, Zou, Vaiphei, Simte, Mizo and Hmar. They live together in harmony and peace in all the past years.

To the utter dismay of the people of the Saikot TD Block, the Manipur State Government Cabinet meeting on 29^th October, 2011, decided to upgrade the Tuibuong and Sangaikot TD Blocks into a full fledged Sub-Division Circle, while the Saikot TD Block was left with the status quo. The Saikot Sub Division Demand Committee has submitted the 1^st Memorandum to Hon’ble Chief Minister on the 23^rd November, 2011 for demanding upgradation of Saikot TD Block to the level of Sub-Division Circle. The 2^nd Memorandum also had been submitted again on 5^th December, 2011. But the Government of Manipur turned preferred to deaf ear to the legitimate request of the public.

As already mentioned in the above Memorandum submitted, the Cabinet meeting was held on October 29^th, 2011, the Government of Manipur had taken decision to upgrade some TD Blocks like Tuibuong and Sangaikot to the status of Sub Division Circles within Churachandpur District. These TD Blocks were created along with Saikot TD Block by the same orders bearing No. 15/11/2003- DEV (P) dated Imphal, the 24^th December, 2003 of the Governor of Manipur.

While the people of Saikot TD Block are waiting for upgradation with full confidence in the State Government as well as in the Hon’ble Minister representing the people of the Saikot Assembly Constituency, Saikot TD Block was left out in the process of upgradation of TD Blocks to the status of Sub Division circles. Why was our Hon’ble Chief Minister blind to see the needs of the people in Saikot TD Block? Or whether our Hon’ble Minister representing the people in Saikot Assembly Constituency was conveniently sleeping during the process of upgradation? The Proverb says, “A living dog is better than a dead lion” even if our Hon’ble Chief Minister plays the part of a dead lion the people hope and wish that our respected Minister who is no other than our representative would be a living dog to do the needful. The general publics have full confidence in him and it is expected of him to pursue the matter in the interest of the general public. Now it is the demand of the people within Saikot TD Block to upgrade to the status of Sub-Division Circle like that of Tuibuong and Sangaikot TD Blocks before 18^th December, 2011 definitely. The movement also received the support of the Mizo People's Convention, Manipur, Hmar Inpui, Gen. Hqs., Zomi Council, Gen. Hqs. and other civil societies have given their tacit support in writing.

Another danger is the persistence of inequality. This inequality does not augur well for the integrity and goodwill towards the State. This inequality is clearly seen in the process of upgradation of Tuibuong and Sangaikot TD Blocks to the status of Sub-Division Circles. This unequal treatment meted out towards the Saikot TD Block is no other than inequality which hinders regional integrity in Churachandpur District. There are six Assembly Constituencies in Churachandpur District viz., (1) Singat (2) Tipaimukh (3) Henglep (4) Chuarchandpur (5) Thanlon and (6) Saikot. It may be mentioned that all the other five Constituencies are upgraded to the status of the Sub-Division Circles except for the Saikot TD Block which was ignored by the Sate Government. This is a painful experience and an insult to the aspirations of the people in Saikot TD Block.

The inequal and step-motherly treatment meted out to the people in Saikot TD Block by the State Government towards the law abiding subjects is now being perceived as undue provocation. The people of Saikot TD Block are united in the pursuit of the legitimate civil and political rights under legal framework of Indian Constitution and will continue to do so until and unless the demand of is achieved. We make our stand clear that if we do not receive the same treatment from the State Government and the status of inequality continues, then we will be left with no option but to adopt more serious forms of agitation like bandhs, strike, etc. The SSDC do not want to create hardship to the common people and resort to civilised and peaceful submission of Memorandum to achieve the desired results. Agitation against the State Government's discriminatory policies will be the last resort.

Hence, we appeal to our Hon’ble Chief Minister to immediately to upgrade Saikot TD Block to the status of Sub-Division Circle like that of Tuibuong and Sangaikot TD Blocks as Christmas Gift. We would like our demands to be met definitely within 18^th December, 2011. Failing which, we have decided to call a total bandh of Churachandpur District from 6.00Am, 19th December indefinitely.

This Bandh shall not include medical, electricity, press-media, water supply and education departments.

The Committee therefore requested all to kindly support the Bandh for the noble cause demand thereof. It our demand is still not met, we cannot rule out of boycotting the coming State Assembly Election next years!

Therefore, the SSDDC would like to request the people of Churachandpur to support us in our noble cause for the interest of the public! Thank You!

How the Saikot TD Block was created: The present Saikot Tribal Development Block was created by the government of Manipur by Gazette Order No. 15/11/2003 DEV-P, dated 24^th December, 2003 by the Secretary of RD & PR, Government of Manipur in accordance with the order of the Government of Manipur.

Inauguration of the Saikot TD Block: The Saikot TD Block was inaugurated by the Chief Minister Shri O Ibobi Singh on 11^th February, 2004 in front of the Saikot Youth Club hall, Churachandpur. The meeting was also attend by Mr TN Haokip, the then Assembly Speaker, Manipur Legislative Assembly, Mr Loken Singh, Minister (RD), and Mr Ngamthang Haokip, Minister, TD, Government of Manipur.

The Present Saikot TD Block: According to Hill House counting 2010-11, here are 39 villages within the Block with 3222 households and a population of 19, 256. Importan places like the ITI, Government high school, hospital/PHC, etc are within the Saikot TD Block. It is one of the 6 Assemby Constituencies in Churachandpur district which have it’s A/C name. Various tribes like the Hmars, Mizo, Paite, Kuki, Zou, Simte and Vaiphei co-exists peacefully but are now left with deep grievances and sadness.

Our Grievances and Apprehension: The Cabinet Meeting on October 29, 2011 have decided to up-grade the Tuibuong and Sangaikot TD Block to the level of SDO Circle and the same item was published in the Sangai Express daily on the 30^th October, 2011. When the people of Saikot TD Block heard the news, they were shock, grieved and felt helpless and betrayed by their own MLA.

In Churachandpur district there are 6 Assembly Constituencies, and these A/C have a Sub Division of their name each; namely, Churachandpur SD, Singngat SD, Tipaimukh SD, Thanlon SD, Henglep SD, Except – Saikot A/C! Why? The Saikot Assembly Constituency was created in 1974 and till date is still neglected, why? This ought to make one wonder why these types of discrimination and biased outlook towards a particular A/C? Who is responsible for it?

Why cannot Saikot also have a Sub-Division by its name? What makes it unfit? Discrimination attitude? Population? The People? Or the name? The people could not but wonder and ask in pain, why?

Memorandum Submitted: In regards to this matters, the first Memorandum to the Chief Minister of Manipur was submitted on the 23rd November, 2011 by the SD Demand Committee chairman MR Timothy Z. Zote, Mr David L. Lungtau, Muolvaiphei accompanied by the concern MDC Mr Hrila.

Before meeting the Chief Minister, the delegates meet the concern minister Mr TN Haokip at his office and said, “Sir, are very grateful for the creation of the three new Sub Divisions, namely Tuibuong SD, Sangaikot SD and Vangai SD by the State Cabinet Meeting resolution dated 29^th October, 2011. In the meantime, Saikot TD Block was left out and the people would like to know why? So, in order to press our needs and grievances, we have decided to submit a Memorandum to he Chief Minister regarding the matter, and sir, would you please kindly forward the Memorandum for us to the Hon’ble Chief Minister?”

Mr TN Haokip replied, “Sorry for this time, I cannot help you. Tuibuong is my constituency which have help me in the election, and since it is a ‘give and take policy’, I cannot help you,” The delegates were dump found! The delegate replied, “We are also your constituency and are you trying to discriminate us? Is it provided or mentioned in the Constitution of India that a minister shall not endow or help to develop his/her constituency if the constituency or area does not belong to the Party? IS it written that the Congress should give developmental opportunities only to those who vote Congress?”

Mr TN Haokip replied, “Saikot has a less population than Tuibuong,” Here the delegate point out that, even lesser population like Vangai also have been up-grade and why not Saikot?” At this, the minster responded, “I don’t like to quarrel. That’s enough for today,” and so by saying this, he threw the Memorandum handed over to him at the mail box and left the room! He did not even glance at the Memorandum copy! We are not mentioning all these in order to demean or tarnish Mr TN Haokip; we are just expressing our concern to him because he is like the Father to our constituency – Saikot A/C.

2^nd Memorandum: For the second time, the Second Memorandum to the Chief Minister was again submitted through the concern MLA Mr TN Haokip on 5^th December, 2011. The delegate consists of Mr Thangsei, Chief of Tonjang and Executive Committee Member, Mr R. Lalkaisang, Secretary and Mr Timothy Z Zote, Chairman of the SSDDC. Mr TN Haokip, this time, glance at the Memorandum and giving it to Mr Khaipao, MDC of Kholmun, he said, “Discuss it with Mr Nehthang, MDC, Mr Ngamhao, MDC and Mr Hrila, MDC in Churachandpur.”

Other Communities’ Support: Even other communities in Churachandpur district like the Zomi Council HQ, Hmar Inpui HQ and the Mizo People Convention, Manipur declared of their support for the creation of the Saikot Sub Division – in written. We, at the same time, request all concern not take the matter as a communal or election matter, it is purely official matter.

Indefinite Bandh: Since the gentlemen approach of the Committee to the State Government has fallen to deaf ear, and despite repeated reminders there is no such action initiated, the SSDDC in its meeting resolution No.9 held on the 14^th December, 2011 has resolve to organize a Indefinite Bandh in Churachandpur from 6:00am of the 19^th of December, 2011 if the government does not response to Its demand by 18^th December, 2011. This Bandh shall not include medical, electricity, press-media, water supply and education departments.

The Committee therefore requested all to kindly support the Bandh for the noble cause demand thereof. It our demand is still not met, we cannot rule out of boycotting the coming State Assemby Election next years!

Therefore, the SSDDC would like to request the people of Churachandpur to support us in our noble cause for the interest of the public! Thank You!

This is one of Inpui.com’s favourite spots in Hmarram Region. 

Now, a mini-hydel project has been installed and current has been generated on a small scale for few households.

Bethel: In a glittering and yet simple ceremony here, SIPHRO chairman David Buhril and Lilypar took a vow to be “man and wife”. 

The best-man was retired Indian foreign diplomat and Inpui.com columnist Pu L.Keivom.

“He could be the oldest thienpa (best-man) and we had a good laugh over it,” a source who attended the event said.

Among the guests present was Sinlung ‘rock-star’ Laltuoklien who performed on the occasion.

Inpui.com’s Oliver Intoate has taken some photos of the day. Here they are:-

Chandigarh: SIkpui Ruoi was celebrated by the Hmar community here yesterday. Pu L.Shyama Hmar graced the event as Sikpui Pa.

It was organised by the Hmar Welfare Association.

Reports reaching Inpui.com said that the event was “a success” and “the best Sikpui Ruoi so far in Chandigarh.”

Hmarkhawlien: Dr. Immanuel Zarzosang Varte has refused to accept the Assembly Deputy Secretary post at the HSA General Headquarters citing “various unavoidable reasons”.

Dr Varte was elected to the post at the recently concluded 53^rd  HSA General Assembly held in Sakawrdai, Mizoram.

The three-time former president of HSA Shillong Jt. Headquarters, who is also a tribal organisation leader in Jiribam area,  said that “despite the honourable responsibility entrusted in me I will not be able to take it up due to various reasons.”

“As such I request you accept my resignation and appoint someone else who will take up the responsibility,” Dr Varte stated in his letter to the student body said. A copy of the letter was also forwarded to Inpui.com

Expressing regrets over his inability to take up the “honourable job”, Dr. Varte said had he attended the conference the situation could have been avoided.

“Despite this, I will continue to work for HSA and my interest in the welfare of our community will be the same as before,” Dr Varte said.

Dr Varte has represented the Hmar community at several international forums besides being actively involved in other philanthropic works.

It is not yet know whether the HSA leadership will accept Dr Varte’s resignation or go for a new election to fill the vacant post.

After three months of party planning, cooking, shopping and cleaning moms collapse as the New Year is rung in. Sitting among the remnants of holiday frivolity, it is easy to feel depressed about what has to be done next, to pack everything away and to brave the bleakness of midwinter. However, you can approach the new year with a different objective, to create a living environment that will inspire you and your family to do something great.

Out With the Old

Before you can build something new you have to tear down the old. In the case of post holiday task management this means putting away holiday decorations and giving the house a good once over. As you pack away your holiday stuff organize it and create a special space for it to be stored. This is the first step in organizing your life.

The next step is to de-clutter as you clean. I like to isolate one room at a time when I de-clutter and deep clean. As you go through each room decide what items you use on a regular basis and what items you have not used in a long time. The items that you do not use on a regular basis can be either stored away or discarded. Now do not just throw away the things you do not use, as there is value in these items. Some items you can recycle, some you can sell on eBay and others you can donate to a charitable organization like Goodwill. Track how you dispose of your unused items, as you can deduct the value of your donated items from your tax liability.

The decor of your home is another "old" thing that you will want to address at this point. Since you are already in the work mode, and you are already dismantling your home, now is the perfect time to think about changing the look of your home. Again do this one room at a time so you do not get overwhelmed by the process.

In with the New

Now that your home is clean and prepped for the new you are ready to decide what you need from your home for it to be functional. A good place to start is with your organizational needs. As you were cleaning what problems did you identify? For example, you may notice that small items were collecting in various drawers, or that your pantry was a cluttered mess or that you simply did not have enough storage for the items you wanted to keep. Use these identified problems to create an organizational wish list.

The next step is to really examine each room in your home and determine what it is being used for and what it could be used for. Then come up with a sketch of how you can organize the room and redesign it so that it meets your family's functional need. Add to your organizational wish list the items you need to redesign your rooms.

The final step is to do the work. Go shopping and purchase the organization and decoration items you need for each room. Then complete each room's redesign, one room at a time. To make this process more manageable you may need to focus on completing one room a week or even one room a month. As you redesign your home around your functional needs you will realize how functional your family life can become.

About the author: Madeline Binder has decades of experiencing helping families to problem solve their ways to more functional lives. Her writing reflects this dedication. "Besides all holdiay planning, preparation, and clean-up, most Moms have a job outside the home and have to assist their kids to find science fair experiments for their science fair. Is it any wonder that they need a vacation after their children go back to school!"

Bethel: Sinlung Indigenous Peoples Human Rights Organisation chairman David Buhril will tie the knot with Lilypar, d/o (L) R.J. Thang and Lalrinmawi Joute, on December 14, 2011.

The marriage ceremony will be held at Happy  Heart  School  Campus, Bethel, Churachandpur, Manipur.

Nk. Rose Sakum is a professional singer from the Hmar community in true sense. Many people have released audio and video albums but they never really make a living out of their talent. Nk Rose is different and she has been in the profession for years performing in some of the best hotels in Bangalore. She is the younger sister of Hmar rapper Puia Sakum.

Given below is one of their videos that was prepared several years ago. (in Hmar)

Ni tin hun hmang thrat dan ding, dan rangkachak (golden rule) zam thei a ni nawh. Nisienlakhom, a hnuoia hin ni tin hun hlawk taka hmang thei dan ding thubul panga ka hung zam a. I tiem zoin a tak ngeiin hmang nghal la, i hlawkpui ngei ka beisei tlat.

Pakhatna- I ngaituona thunun rawh:

Ngaituona le suongtuona hi mania intran a ni a, thunun thei a nih. I lungrilah ngaituona thra tu la, thil thra sik i tih. Thil thra tu la, nun dan thra sik i tih. Nun dan thra tu la, nungchang thra sik i tih. Nungchang thra tu la, chanpuol thra sik ngei ngei i tih. Ngaituona hin thil a siem thra thei ang bokin thil a suksiet thei bok. Scientist hmingthang Albert Einstein lem chun, “imagination is more important than knowledge” a lo ti hiel. Suongtuona hi a hrat em em a. Mit khap kar loin mita la hmu ngai lo ram khom a fang suok thei. Mi pangngaiin ni khata suongtuona chi hran hran sing ruk neka tam ei nei thei. Dawnril mi (thinker) hai lem chun hi neka tam khom an ngaituo sa thei. Chuong lai zingin lungrila ngaituona tha hratna dawnri mihai khomin zaah sawm vel an hmang trawk. Pathienin suongtuo theina tha a mi lo pek hi a nasain ren ruol a ni nawh. Lungril tieng pang inchuktuhai chun mi tam lemin thil thra naw le tep lo tieng zaah sawmriet ei ngaituo hlak an tih. A thra tieng ngaituona chun zaah sawmhni chauh ei hmang tina a ni chu. Zing ei thoa inthoka ei zal chen kara ei thil suongtuohai TV hmaia hung inlang thei pei ni sien chu rapthlak hleng a tih. Amiruokchu, ngaituo theina ei nei hi rannunghai neka ei danglamna chu a nih. Ngaituona hi a poimawin thil a thaw thei em leiin, a hmang dan le a thunun dan thiem tum ei tiu. Ngaituona chu ieng tin am thunun thei ei ta? Zing ei tho hlima ei ngaituona hmasa tak le ei hla dit hai dam hin sunni thlak an mi don hlak. Chuleiin, hieng hin thaw rawh. Zing i tho hlim, i trongtrai hma’n i pindanah kraws lim amanih rose par amanih a tawi tawpah minit sawmpanga bek thil dang ngaituo der loin bi cher cher rawh. Chu zoah, an ringin “Hnena ka ta a nih” tiin voi thum bek ban vaiin kungfu thaw ang deuhin inhok rawh. Chuonga i thaw chun sunni thlak inring zo takin i hun hmang hlak i tih. Ngaituona ei thunun pha, lungril ei thunun hlak. Lungril ei thunun pha ei hringnun hi ei thunun thei hlak a nih. Mani ngaituona le lungril thunun hi Jeriko kul hne ang tluka poimaw a nih ti theinghil ngai naw rawh.

Pahnina: Trongbau thra:

Trongbau thra’n siel a man. French mihai thil ching thra ka ti em em chu, khawlai hei suok inla, hmel hriet hmel hriet naw ti loin “bourjorn” tia greeting mi an thaw hlak hi a nih. Nang khoma a hun le a hmuna zirin Good Morning, Good Evening, Good Night ti hai hi ren naw rawh. Hmel hriet le hmel hriet naw kuomah khom hmang hlak rawh, ansie law ngai naw ni hai che. Good Morning an ti thung ve naw che khomin buoi naw rawh. Mi nuna buoi naw phot el rawh. I kawl vela mihai ta dingin malsawmna ni tum rawh. I hlimah, i thlahnuoiah mi dam raw hai se. Nupa lem chu hringna ram trong- trong khuoizu ruokin inbieng ei tiu. Nupa ei inhmangai hi hriet sa a nih. Amiruokchu, an khat tawka, “I love you” ti hlak ding a nih. Muol mi lo liemsan tah Pi Hausuohnieng-in a pasal muol lo liem tah a dam lai “Ka hmangai che” tia a lo kuo ngawi ngawi naw thu an sirzie Sielmat nupuihai a hril ka hriet. Dam lai nun te hi a tawi vei leh, rinumna’n hmang zo ei tih ti inlau a um. Trongbau thra hi ren nawng ei tiu. Amiruokchu, ei trongbau suok chu hmangaina chia saw a ni ngei ding a nih. Nu pakhatin an pa hmeruo phurhai “Awih, a tui chi vek! Ei hlan ka nghakhlel hluah hluah mai” a ti ang chi hi chu ni kher loin.

Pathumna-Thilthra thaw:

Bible lem chun mihriem hi thil thra thaw dinga Pathienin a buotsai lawk a nih a ti top. Thilthra chu tu chung chungah khom thaw inla, a thlawnin a luong ral ngai nawh. Thilthra ei thawnahaia inthokin hmu kir nei naw inla khom, sir danga inthokin malsawmna chu dam lai ni la la khom hin a hung luong lut tho tho. Lamdangmei, Chiru khuo, Bishenpur saka ka pu Kamzabiek Keivom leh kan va um a; ama’n pharamacist sin a thawa, keiin headmaster babu sin ka thaw a. Kum khat tal top hlaw nei der loin sin ka thaw a. Ka sinthaw ra zuk sor el ding a um der nawh. Chuong nek hmanin saruok deuthawa vuok dokin ka um. Kum 1959-60-a unau suopui Kukihai le ei buoi lai kha a ni a. Inremna thuthlung ziek a ni tah leiin ka pu Kamzabiek leh Lamdangmeiah kan sinthawna kan va sunzom nawk a. Zan thimbutin tuol silai leh kan quarter an hung inhuol el chu dam hrim kan inring tah nawh. Kan silfen an hlip vong a, an mi hei vuok tran a. Pi Hnemin trap pumin “Lalpa, Lalpa…”ti’n a khek a. Anni chun, “Aliembada (ariembada) Ishoawr ko gunu” (A thlawnin Pathien ko naw rawh) an ti chuh! Saruokin kekorte leh chauh thi lo aruongin an mi maksan a.

Khang hun lai dam kha ka thlir let changin, kum khat zet hlaw khom nei der loa sin ka lo thaw kha Lalpa’n sir danga inthokin mal a mi sawm a; ka beisei phak lo nina chen a mi pek a nih tiin ka ngaituo hlak. Mi dang ta dinga thilthra thaw nghok nawng ei tiu, a hun takah a ra ei sik ding a ni si a. Taoism inchuktirna chun “Thilthra mi thawpektuhai chunga thilthra thawng ka ta; thil thra naw mi thawpektuhai chunga khom thil thra thaw tho ka tih” a lo tih. Sakhuo tin inghatna bulpui chu thil thra thaw a ni vong. Buddhism zuituhai lem chun thlarau inpem thei an ring a; an dam laia thil thra ruok an thaw chun an pieng non pha nun insang lem le ropui lema pieng an inring chu tie. Benzamin Franklin chu ni tin a sin tho zoin zanah a pindanah suna a thilthawhai a thlir let hlak a; a lo thaw suol a um chun thaw nawk ta ngai lo dingin thutlukna a siem a; thil thra a lo thaw chun, a zinga chu neka thra lema thaw dan a ngaituo nawk hlak. Zing i tho charin, minit sawmpanga hun ser i hmang zo hnungin, “Voisun hin ieng thil thra am aw ka thaw ding? Mi dang thratna dingin iem aw ka thaw ding?”ti’n inngaituo hlak la, pakhat bek thaw loin i ni inliemtir naw rawh.

Palina-I voisun hun hmang thra rawh:

Hun liem tah hnung chu khawsawtna le dawn sukseitu mei mei a nih. An hoi aamanih le a rinum khom kokir thei a ni chuong tah nawh. Liem tah le ni tah kha in nitir naw thei a ni tah nawh. Amiruokchu, thil liem ta hnunga inthokin inchuk ding ei nei. Suksuol hi mihriem dan a nih. Liem taha ei suksuolnaa inthokin leson ei inchuk ding a nih. Tum a na tonhriet thra hauh chu? Tonhriet thra hauh chu liem taa voi tam tak thil lo suksuol tah, a thil suksuolnaa inthoka leson inchuk, suksuol nawk ta lo dinga fimkhur thiem chu a nih.

Inchuknaa hmang ding naw chun thil liem tah hnungin trangkaina a nei tlawm. Chuong ang bokin, thil hma tienga thil la um lo thlirin hun khawral ding a ni nawh. Thil la tlung lo chu suongtuona mei mei le thil chieng kuong lo a nih. I ta ding le ka ta dinga poimaw tak chu voisun hun ku hi a nih. Zani hun kha a bo tah a, zinga ding hlak chu la hmu lo, thil chieng lo a nih si. Ei nei le ei chang zing chu voisun hun hi a nih. Bible lem chun voisun hun hi hun lawmum, sandamna ni a mi tipek hiel a nih. Zaipu hmingthang H.W.Longfellow chun hieng ang hin a lo insam a:

Trust no future, howe’er pleasant,
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act, Act in the living present;
Heart within and God o’er head.
Hma tieng nun khuo chu lungkham naw la,
Liem tah chun a mi thi chu lo vui sien,
Tuta um zingah hin thaw vat vat rawh,
Lung lut tak le Pathien en zingin.

Pangana-Iengkim tuok dingin inpei rawh:

Chu chu, kha kha tuok ka ta, chu chu kha kha tuok der naw ningah i ti thei am? I ti thei nawh. Thil inlumlet a tam lem hi ei thunun thei khela mi vong an nih. Eksiden khom mani suksuol naw lei khoma tuok thei a nih. Thil ei tuok ding le ei tuok naw ding thua ditthlangna le thuneina ei nei der nawh. Chuong a ni chun lungawi taka a tlung ang ang lo tuok el chu ei thaw ding tak chu a nih. Malsawmna le thil thra chauh i beisei chun, hlawsamna le beidongna a hung pha iem chang i ta? Ei thi dan dinga khom dit thlang thei ei ni nawh. Pathien thu deuh hlekin zuk sep inla, Joba chu a kephaa inthokin a lu sip chen pansiein a bawm a. A nuhmeiin Pathien hrilsie dinga a hei chophawk chun, “Pathiena inthokin thil thra ei hmu ang bokin thil thra lo khom ei hmu sa ve ding a nih"ti’n a don hlauh el. Tirko Paula lem chun, “Iengkim in ta a nih” a lo tih chu. Hi hin a sie a thra a huop vong.

Dam sung ka tuok taphot i tir ni sien,
An hoi le rinum khomin lawm ka tih

titu nun chu hnena nun a nih chu. Iengkim a sie a thra, a rinum le inhoi tuok dinga inpei sa zinga i um chun, chu ngei chu engthawlna nun, nun zalen le inzaum a nih. Tirko Paula chun ieng lai khoma thi inpei zingin, “Intlansiekna thra chu ka zo tah a, ka tlan chen ding khom ka suo tah a, ringna chu ka vong zing a. Tuta ka hmabak chu felna lallukhum dong chauh a nit ah” (2 Tim 4:7-8) a ti chu. Kei khom dam sunga intlansiekna hi zo thawk khatin kan hriet tah a; amiruokchu, hun tawite Lalpa’n a mi la pek hi ieng thil thra thawnain am sukbit ka ta ti hi ka lungril kaptu tak a nih.

Khi a chunga thubul pangahai khi, hei hmang nghal ta leh. Hi khawvel indona zawl lien taka hin, ran naset nuom nuoma an thruoi let angin um naw la; chuong ang indonaah chun pasal thra, thangsuopa ni tum lem rawh. H.W.Longfellow bokin hieng hin a lo ti khah:

In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life;
Be not dumb, driven cattle,
Be a hero in the strive.
