Urge to introduce Rani Gaidinliu in NCERT text books

Rani Gaidinliu, the historical freedom fighter of Nagaland deserves recognition among the new generation and this is why, Manipur chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh has righteously urged the Centre to include her story in the NCERT text books. This Naga freedom fighter who had fought against the britishers in the independence movement, is an icon of Naga heroism, of women empowerment, of India’s strong will to attain freedom from the Britishers and was an instance of surpassing the geographical differences and feel united as an Indian to fight together with the rest of the country.

Rani Gaidinliu is history today with the tales of her heroic deeds still written on the pages of history in golden letters. Born in 1915, Rani Gaidinliu’s birth centenary year is being celebrated in the North-east region lately, which has also urged people to look back into history and recall her heroism and love of nation. On this occasion, the Manipur CM also passed his gratefulness to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Union culture ministry for organizing celebrations to pay gratitude to the leader who hailed from Manipur.

Born in Manipur and brought up in Nagaland and later leading a revolt against the Britishers to drive them out of Manipur and Nagaland, Rani Gaidinliu was the symbol of brotherhood among the two neighbouring states, who urged people of both the states to come out and join hands against the oppressors.   

Ibobi Singh said, "Rani Gaidinliu is an inspiration for all young Indians. She is, in particular, an embodiment of women power which all of us must respect." The Manipur chief minister drew Modi's attention to a recommendation to the Union HRD ministry for the inclusion of age-appropriate texts on the life of Rani Gaidinliu in NCERT books for Classes I to X. He said, "This will go a long way in promoting national integration, as well as women's empowerment."

Singh further added, "Observing the birth centenary of Rani Gaidinliu will make her contribution to the freedom movement known to all."

Celebrating the birth centenary of the heroic lady, Modi has released Rs 100 and Rs 5 coins to commemorate her.

North-east India- catering to a growing number of foreign tourists

This is indeed a good news for the tourism industry of India and particularly for the north-east region that lately the foreign tourists are showing great interest towards the natural scenic richness of the region and the rise in the number of tourists with the passage of every year is bright and encouraging. The reason for the foreign tourists building an interest in this region of the country is, of course, the natural vigour and the breathtaking views of its states which is otherwise a rare sight in almost all other states of the rest of India, except for the Jammu and Kashmir and the Himachal Pradesh. No doubt, there are many obstacles to make the trip to north-east difficult for the tourists like the broken roads, lesser number of connecting flights and airports, lack of best quality hotels and certain other natural calamities, but that seems to be trivial when one aspires to discover nature at its best.

Remarkably, all eight states comprised in the North-East region of the country are rich in natural resources and are famous for the freshness in its air. The cultural variety, vitality and the assorted traditional practices are the other reasons for the foreign and other tourists of the country to find this land amazing and worth a visit. All 8 states, namely, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura has a bevy of tribes residing in these and the best part is that each tribe of these states has a unique identity and a unique lifestyle that invites the tourists to explore and wonder.

The rise in the statistics of foreign tourist visit is clearly stated in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha by Minister of State for Tourism Mahesh Sharma. Sharma stated that the number of foreign tourist arrivals in the eight northeastern states was 118,552 in 2014 in comparison to 84,820 in 2013. This indicates a 39.76 percent increase in the statistics. In 2012, the figure was 66,302.

70 years since the Hiroshima Nuclear attack scene

It has been 70 years now since the inhuman and the biggest ever slap and attack on humanity, that is, the nuclear attack on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It was an atomic bomb released on the Japanese city by an US aircraft, claimed the lives of f at least 140,000 people and this certainly can be cited as an incident when humanity was at stake at large. This of course, brought the World War two to an end, but it is the same incident that also ruined and brought humanity to the ground leading to the death of uncountable lives leaving the successors of the land too to suffer the outcome of the nuclear attack.

The Japanese city of Hiroshima is recalling that cruel day today as the atomic bomb was projected exactly 70 years ago from now, on 6 August 1945, at around 08:10 in the morning. A US B-29 bomber called the Enola Gay dropped the uranium bomb on the sky of the city that exploded some 600m (1,800ft) above the city. Leading to immediate affect of the bomb attack, at least 70,000 people died on the very same day of the attack and the remaining inhabitants of the city carried horrific injuries to die on the following days, months and years due to the deadly radiation poisoning of the nuclear bomb.

Ever since that doomed day, Japan has been observing the day mournfully and commemorating the innocent inhabitants who had to give up their lives crying for the greater need of world peace and restoration of humanity. Sadly, the world has not changed much since then and a horrific instance of the Nagasaki-Hiroshima incident too has not been able to move the stone hearted sons of this world. If some parts of the world are mourning for what had happened with the Japanese city and is praying to the almighty to keep cruelty at bay and usher in world peace then at the same time, some other parts of the world are busy in making the blue-prints of destroying mankind and being extinct from the earth forever.

Need for a weather research centre

Although Guwahati is fast improving towards development and there are many instances of the government at the state and the centre providing the best developing measures to the city, but still a few other things are also there that too needs to be fulfilled for the city and people to be self-dependant in certain situations. A nameable issue faced by not only the people of the Guwahati city, but by everybody else living in the northeast region is that there is no weather research centre in this part of the country. At a time when, the NE region of the country is one of the most highly and frequently disturbed and harmed place by the nature and its calamities, a prior information on the weather and its forecasts is a must for the region for which it still needs to be dependent on the research centres based in other parts of the country.

The only thing that the region is depending on for so long is the Guwahati-based Borjhar Regional Meteorology Centre (RMC) which is only a data collecting centre. The need for a weather research centre has been deeply felt by the people of the North-East as it would have encouraged in integrated research programme for studying the impact of climatic changes in the NE region.

Eminent environmental scientists Prof Surya Kanta Sarma and Prof Dulal Chandra Goswami have also expressed the same need and demanded for weather stations at the major urban centres of the NE region. As stated by Prof Surya Kanta Sarma, the NE region plays a major role in climatic changes in this region and it was even about 15 years back when he had first demanded for a research centre.

Prof Sarma also added, “We need several weather parameters measuring centres in different parts of Greater Guwahati and its neighbourhood, besides other major urban centres of the NE region as these places are subjected to rapid urbanisation and population growth.”

The Soul with An Ignited Mind Bids Adieu to the Concrete World

He was the President of the nation India, but even before that he was a soul so rare, so pure and so generous who was on a mission to give away knowledge and ignite the minds of the nation. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, as the world knows him, was the living example of the most famous saying – ‘Simple living high thinking.’ He believed in possessing an ignited mind and helping others in earning knowledge and this is why perhaps, he chose to impart knowledge to students, even till the last minute of his life. The best teacher the nation ever had, Dr. Kalam bid farewell to his students, the most indispensable part of life, and left the nation shattered in the pain of losing the gem of a person.

Always known as the students’ President, Dr. Kalam was the one man who was never tired of his mission and never gave up on hope in making the young India more educated and wiser. Of course, the legend gave away the best of his knowledge to his students, but still it feels that he had lots in his chest of knowledge that remained undistributed and lost in the infinity with the loss of a great soul.

Dr. Kalam ensured a change in the traditions and rituals and brought a revolution in his nation even after his death by making obedience to his last wish mandatory by all. Kalam had once said - "Don't declare a holiday on my death; instead work an extra day.” With this message denoted by the mentor of the nation in his living days, Kalam ensured that the old and so long practiced rule of declaring a central holiday on the death of a prominent person will not be practiced on his death. Instead, bringing a difference to the tradition, political leaders and common people chose to work through the day and paid their tributes by even working extra hours.

Today the nation is without its ‘Missile Man’, today the students of the country are without their mentor. This true and pure agent of God will be missed by this nation, even for the next generations to come, today and forever.

Degree course on North East studies to be introduced in Jamia Millia Islamia University

People from North-East will perhaps no longer remain an estranged being in the national platform as those people who do not know much about the North-east India and do not have much knowledge on the lifestyle, tradition, cultures and natural richness of the region, will get to know a lot as North-East studies is going to be made available to be studied for students. One of the leading educational institutes in the country, Jamia Millia Islamia University is going to make its first step towards initiating study of the North-East.   

It all happened when the Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), Dr. Jitendra Singh visited the University’s Centre for Northeast Studies and after a discussion with the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Talat Ahmed, Head of Northeast Studies, Prof. Sanjoy Hazarika and other faculty members, came to this decision that a proper Post Graduation Masters’ degree course will be started in the university particularly in Northeast studies.

As expressed by the DoNER minister, this will be a totally new and unique initiative of its kind in the educational system of the country as it is the first step taken by an Indian University in which a formal recognized Post Graduation Degree Course will be provided in region based studies. This is a completely new experience in the Indian academic system and will create a noticeable identity for the Jamia Millia Islamia University and the North-eastern part of India.

Speaking about the growth and development of education in the North-East, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that it has a very high literacy rate and a small State like Mizoram has been able to create record by showing a literacy rate of 92% to 93%. Noticeably, Kerala is the top most literate state and Mizoram comes in the second position.

The minister also said that Centres for Northeast Studies will also perform as resource banks for people from outside Northeast so that people can be helped in understanding and studying the exclusive culture and richness of that region.

User of derogatory terms for Northeastern people is to be legally punished

Making a revolutionary and much awaited decision in favour of eliminating discrimination prevailing in the country, the Ministry of Home Affairs informed the Delhi High Court today that it has decided to amend the IPC to strengthen the legal framework against racial discrimination. This means, the people of Northeast India who are often being ill-treated by the people from the rest of the places of India and are often made to bear the derogatory terms and abuses, will not have to suffer from it any more. There will be legal punishments for the ones who abuses people from the Northeast.

A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath said, “The Ministry of Home Affairs is in process of finalising a comprehensive bill for insertion of new sections of 153C and 509A in Indian Penal Code (IPC) which will be introduced in Parliament after Inter-Ministerial consultation.”

The MHA opt to amend the actions against the racial discriminators as a result of the recommendation of the MK Bezbaruah Committee constituted in February 2014, following a spate of attacks against people from the NE region living in Delhi. Thus, the proposed Section 153C makes clear that both spoken and written terms that are derogatory and prejudicial to the people of the Northeast, any signs attempting to discriminate or indulging in activity intended to use criminal force or violence against a particular race will be considered as a non-bailable offence punishable with imprisonment up to five years with fine.

Remarkably, there are many recent incidents of discrimination and harmful attack on people from Northeast that has taken place in Delhi and in other parts of the country. Another Section, the proposed Section 509A seeks to make any word, gesture or act intended to insult a member of a particular race with imprisonment that may extend to three years with fine.
