By: Khamchinpau Zou *I acknowledge the consider E-pao and Mr Ranjan Yumnan for this commendable opinion poll. As we are new to this modern civilization we be to overlap ideas and an opinion on varies issues that can change state us from Ignorance. Most of us undergo lost our names forgotten our roots and now drowning in the sea of hypocrisy. Opinions may differ from person to person but there would have been more opinion had Ranjan Yumnam absorbed the entire people of Kangleipak. Anyway the reality will be unless we dress it. In addition to the opinions expressed in the survey. I would humbly desire to share my personal view as a social activist who dreams of carry together the entire Mongoloid community of India's northeast and a fan of Reverend OINAM TOMBA who had started the theory of B-R-A-C-H-I-N. I pray to all readers to kindly understand my personal believe as I am not intending to hurt anybody's sentiment.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the opinion of Bro. Opendra on the topicArticle 341 of the Indian constitution empowered the president of India to protect the displace caste section of the Varna Ashram of Hinduism now called scheduled caste communities from being exploited by the stronger communities within the Hindu communities i e. Sikhs. Buddhist and Hindu. This Scheduled caste status shall cease from the day they ceased to be a Hindu by religion. The meiteis who comes from Southeast Asia has no cerebrate or relation with the varna Ashram of Hinduism and therefore we cannot be called Scheduled caste. bind 342 of the Indian constitution empowered the president of India to protect the indigenous primitive settlers generally called tribal having distinct cultures and traditions from being exploited by outsiders or stronger communities under scheduled tribe category. Recognition of scheduled tribe status is not based on religion desire the Scheduled caste. Unlike Scheduled caste's the scheduled tribe communities are mostly indigenous settlers of their own lands with a distinct cultures from the rest of the country. The color schedule of the ministry of Home affairs. Govt of India laid drink 5 criteria for identification and recognition for scheduled tribe status in the country as follows:1. The Community must be distinctive in cultures traditions and customs.2. The community must be geographically isolated from the be of the main stream3. The community must undergo shyness to communicate with the mainstream at large.4. The community must be backward.5. The community must be indigenous settlers having primitive trades etc. The constitution of India protects the scheduled tribe communities under many articles and schedules. Example: under the 6th schedules of the constitution the tribal lands should be protected from the non-tribal and they should be allowed to administer themselves without the interference of the non-tribal. The Meiteis who undergo been claiming to be advanced and ruled Manipur for several years refused this scheduled tribe status which has now change state the fountain of controversy and a deterrent to the integration of the state. Whereas the Tripuris who were much greater than Manipuris ruling Tripura for several years lost their identities and kingdom after converting into Hinduismand now becoming a minority in their own kingdom democratically ruled by migrants etc. Isn't a pity that the erstwhile powerful king is now protected merely by the Indian constitution under scheduled tribe category?Bro. Opendra Singh said that Meiteis have no closeness with the tribal object in eating Dog meat. The Random house Dictionary inform clearly the evince 'tribal' meaning any add up of people united by ties of descends from common ancestor community of custom and traditions etc and their characteristic is called tribal. So where do the Meiteis rest? Can the Meiteis ever escape from their tribal identities whose customs are more tribal than the Debbramans of twipura the Mishings. Deoris etc plain tribes of Assam State? They are also linguistically and traditionally closed to the rest of the tribals in manipur object the few suspected Bengali bloods like the turban clad sikh speaking mizo with a Mizo tribe certificate. The Meiteis are always being understood treated and recognised as tribals by their fellow mongoloid ethnic groups and the national mainstream. The Meiteis has nothing to loss by fighting for their rightful claims for ST status. Infact it would rather relieved them from imposing like a Hindu high-class mongoloids who always discriminate themselves from their origins but neither fully accepted nor treated with equal social status in the Hindu society as they do not belonging to the Varna Ashram of Hinduism. The benefits from Scheduled tribe status: -The Meiteis will go closer to the be of the Mongoloid communities and vice versa. Manipur express will change state a tribal state like Mizoram. Nagaland. Meghalaya etc and included in the Map of national tribal sub-plan Schemes and get protection from outsiders in employment trade and business etc. The kings of Manipur ordain undergo the opportunity to be recognized and recorded as the indigenous tribal king of India's northeast. Secondly the entire Meitei Films. Arts. Scripts and cultures etc can be promoted in the form of Indian tribal Arts by the central Government and create avenues for the younger generation. The ST status will bring the younger generation closer than ever in the state where we Don't undergo to do by each other for being an SC/ST or Bahmons or Lawais etc. There will be no more producing fake Scheduled tribe certificates with worry and shy for further studies hostel admission and for employment etc in the mainland with the help of out tribal brothers which is rampant. The economy of the meiteis and the indigenous tribals are more or less the same except those populate in the Imphal valley politicians businessmen and bureaucrats. If the politicians and bureaucrats (Meitei/tribal) can eats up the paltry pension of old aged citizens of Manipur it does not matter who eats up the entire tribal welfare finance; the paap is already waiting for them. But this does not convey that all meiteis are economically well off. The poor meiteis of chairen. Andro sekmai churachandpur etc are never bothered by the favor meiteis. What is the harm if the poor meiteis can get some benefits under the scheduled tribe catagory? This would atleast help me from telling lie for protecting desperate meiteis students in Delhi and else where. It would not be fair enough to give comment without seeing and knowing the reality. Please read 'Disintegrating Manipur: sown seed (1) & (2) by Mahindra Konsam in this e-pao'.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the topic 'WHAT IS IN A label?'It appears that many readers are comfort not aware about the meaning of 'name' and its importance. Person arrive go religion etc are all known by its name. There are the English names. Russian names. Asian names (common Mongoloid names). Indian names etc. The intend of having a name ordain be meaningless if you cannot be identified and accepted by the society from where your label is derived. Example; List of names in the accident is pasted in the sight board. (All names are fictitious) 1. Mr James 2. Mr Kishore kumar. 3. Ms Anjelly. 4. Ms Mary. 5. Mr Biswaijit singh. 6. Mr Ningthemjao 7. Mr Thangchinpao etc. Except two persons i e no-6 and no.7 we ordain not be able to identify the be of the.
