The Culture of a RaceEvery race or people have a Cultureof whatever form it might be. Cultureforms the very character of the Raceand it is through it that the Raceexpresses itself. If the Race has a Soulthen Culture is its body. Culture isbasically the product of the Past; it isthe one we have inherited from ourforefathers, and which has become ourHeritage and which ha flowed down fromone generation into another and downinto us to make us what we are. It isthe one in which we grow and webreathe and from it we draw our lifeprinciplesand life-governing ideas andthrough it we identify and maintainourselves as a Race. We are itsproducts and the blood of ourforefathers is right here inside us tobecome our Heritage to build us andto steer us as a Race. We are whatwe are because of out Past and wecan never leave it behind. On the rockof cur Heritage we are to buildourselves and if we are to remould itwe are to do so with an insight into allprofundities and with an awareness ofthe demands of our age.Culture has both Form andSubstance. The Substance is theessence of the Race and it consistsof the lift-principles and life-ideaswhich determine the life-forces and lifeenergiesand which represent the innercharacter of the Race. The Form is anoutward expression which externallyreflects what the Race is, what itthinks, what it feels and what its aimsare. The Form is but a partial image ofthe Substance. The Race is judgednormally by this outward Form ofCulture and therefore it is the boundedduty of every race to see that itsactions and activities are in conformitywith the cultural values it cherishes.The Race must therefore make a propernote of what it shows itself into theWorld. Culture is not a cloak or a robethat one can put on and off as onewishes. It is not the one that can beimposed from without, nor a thing thatcan be bought or borrowed; it is theTHE EASTERN CONCEPT VIS-A-VlSTHE WESTERN CONCEPT OF CULTUREthing that grows from within to form thecharacter of the Race.The Culture of a Race is not justskin-deep, hut it lies deeper than werealise and mud deeper than we canexplain. As an example: it is only aNaga and lie alone that can feel ‘Naga’,think ‘Nasa’ and be ‘Naga’ and it i quitean impossible thing for a Khasi to feelNaga, think Naga and be Naga nor isit possible for a Khasi or a Naga tofeel English, think English and beEnglish and so on and so forth. Cultureis one’s birthright and therefore we cannot exchange it for another. Gone arethe days when we are made to thinkthat we can take over other people’scultures and that we can throw awaycur cultures as easily as we can takeoff our cloak or robe. The World itselfhas now come to realise that thingsare not as easy as that and that if anyrace should throw away its culture itwould destroy part of itself to becomemorally, socially and psychologicallydisillusioned and disintegrated.Imitators are there in every race butthey are not the one to decide thedestiny of the Race; they are there toremind us that, as Rabindranath Tagoresays, “Imitators are but rag- pickersin other people’s dustbins” to makethemselves the mockery of the Raceor Nation.The Triangle of Three LifeForcesThe Eastern Thought in general andthe Indian Thought in particular have itthat Religion and Philosophy ate theSoul ‘of Culture and it is they that feedand nourish it for the Race, and thesetwo ate therefore inseparable fromeach other but are rather correlativeand interpenetrative. They are like ahorse and carriage which you cannothave one without the ether and theyare also like the two faces of the samecoin which when one side is effaced,the whole thing is destroyed. In thewords of Sri. Arobindo - “Religion isenlightened by Philosophy andPhilosophy is made demonic byReligion” and one draws inspiration- H. Onderson Mawriefrom the other. That is exactly the partplayed by the Hindu Philosophy in ourCountry which assigns a reason toevery thought and action. The IndianReligious draw all their characteristicvalues from the spiritual Philosophy tomould the life of their followers and toshape their cultural heritageaccordingly. It is all one with Buddhismthat is there to spiritualise everyBuddhist basic teaching and so it iswith other religions.As per Indian Thought, the wholeobjective of Religious Philosophy is“The Knowledge of the Spirit” and otherthings are made secondary. It is theknowledge of the spirit that forms thehighest significance of Religion. Thusaccording to the Indian Thought, theTHREE namely Religion, Culture andPhilosophy form a ‘Compact Trio’which may be termed “The Triangle ofThree Lift-forces” and it is these Threethat make the Race what it is. Life—forces” and it is these Three that makethe Race what it is. A Hindu is a Hindubecause of his Culture and should hechange his religion to be a Muslim hebecomes religiously and culturally aMuslim and he would no longer cherishthe thought of being a Hindu. A Khasiis a Khasi because of his Culture andshould he change his religion tobecome a Christian, in the name of thereligion he has adopted he would betoo, happy to throw away his Cultureand his Heritage and lie would be tooglad to parade himself as a member ofa new people, the Church people.Christianity has no Culture of itsownThere is no such thing as ChristianCulture. Of all major religions of theWorld, Christianity is one religion thathas no culture. Some of the modes nBible Scholars are of the opinion thatChristianity is more an ideology thana religion. If at all it s a religion, it ispure and simple a religion where allother things are made subordinate intoit. This has been so circumstantiallyand the reason is not far to seek. Wecan never create anything out ofHeritage Explorer 2 January 2013

nothing and a religion is not a thingthat simply drops from the sky or thatit comes out by itself. It has to comeout of something; it has to be initiatedby man either individually orcollectively. It must have both ahistorical and a geographicalbackground and it must have bothhuman and divine elements. A peopleor race must be there in thebackground. Apparently Christianitymay be said to have a Jewishbackground but is is not so. TheFounder of the Christian church,Apostle Paul, was a Jew and hewanted to found the Christian Churchupon the Jewish Background. Hestarted the work in Jerusalem but hesoil and to enable him to do so he hadto move out of Palestine.The New Testament of the Bibletells us that if it was not for his timelyappeal to Rome by right of being aRoman citizen, Paul would have beenflogged by the Jews for repudiating theMosaic Law and it was his RomanCitizenship that saved him horn thewhips en perhaps from execution. Indespair he had to cry out, “Bewarethen that the message- of God’ssalvation has been sent to theheathens”. Christianity had thus: noplace in Palestine and it is so eventoday where the Christians form only2 ½% of the total population. Havingrejected by Palestine it had to benurtured somewhere else and such aplace was Rome, a city of polytheismand of the Pantheon, a city of emperorworship.and a city marked by theabsence of any religion worth thename. It is not surprising at all thatRome should claim that the ChristianUniversal Church should be RomanCatholic Church with the Pope of Romeas its supreme head. Shouldcircumstances permit, Christianityshould have taken the Roman Culturebut that could not be and so eventuallyChristianity had to he built on theJewish Background with someadditions to make it more pompousand more attractive by borrowingelements from religions of neighboringcountries.That was the reason whyChristianity had been made to have noCulture of its own and as it has noCulture of its own wherever it goes itsimply rides roughshod over thecultures and traditions of other racesand peoples. When such is itscharacter and background it is butinevitable that it has to cut off Religionfrom man’s social life and activitiesexcepting of curse Politics which hasbecome it handmaid. The RomanCatholic Church here in Meghalayafrom time to time through its ChurchNews-papers declares that it is hereto uphold our Khasi Culture and theynever know that it is a far cry. What itwants is simply to fool people for thesake of conversion or just to makegood for the loss it has been made tofed What enamated from the EuropeanConquest was not only physicalconquest but also cultural conquestand those who have made themselvesvertex able have been uprooted fromtheir Culture and Religion and theyhave been made to make a cleanbreak from the Past to becomedetribalised.There is no such thing asChristian PhilosophyAgain, Christianity is one religionin the World that has no Philosophy.There is a tendency in some RomanCatholic and Protestant forms ofChristianity to use reason for thedefence of their faith but basically thetrend is to keep Philosophy out ofReligion. Apostle Paul himself, thefounder of the Christian Church, says,“We are fools for Christ’s sake” andhe also says, “Beware lest any manspoil you by Philosophy”. MartinLuther, the father of the ProtestantReformation, says, “Reason should bedestroyed in all Christians’ The word“Knowledge” with all its theologicalmeaning as per Eastern Thought is notthere in the Western Thought. Theword, Gnosis’ which means‘Knowledge’ is there in Gnosticism, aBranch of Christianity which flourishedin the early centuries of the ChristianEra but it had been stamped out bythe Roman Catholic Church. The BibleScholars of our Age say that if the word‘Gnosis’ had had a place in Christianitythen Christianity would have been aVedanta Christianity where Philosophywould have its due place and Reasonwould be there for ii is Reason alonethat can reconcile man to his daily lifeand existence.The Fate of Western CivilisationEurope’s Civilisation is no otherthan the Christian Civilisation which isin its totality a material-civilisation andwhich has miserably failed tospiritualise the West. It is theCivilisation in which Religion, Cultureand Philosophy have beencompartmentalised and a Civilisationin which Religion has beennonchalantly made a matter ofconvenience. What appeals now isthat the West has become spirituallystranded and it is looking now to theEast for spiritual guidance. Churcheshave been locked or sold and somehave been converted into temples ofthe Eastern Thought. The West hasforgotten that man is never a complexif we know how to locate him and thatthere are two aspects in him—-the‘spiritual’ and the ‘natural’ and it is thespiritual that is his ultimacy. Man isan entity where the life-forces play andinterplay and if he is to maintain thatunity, apart from other things, theTriangle of three Life-forces must betheir to uphold him.The Khasi Concept of CultureThe Khasis as a Race go by theEastern Thought or Eastern Conceptwhere Religion, Culture andPhilosophy form a compact trio tomake us what we are. Our Culture andReligion are sisters twain and theyform a structure based on Philosophy.Ours is a circumscribed triangle oftheocentricity and in all Our actionsand existence God is there at thecentre. We never go to God without areason and God would not listen to usif we don’t have a reason. Our Cultureis a Religious Culture and through itwe have been able to preserve andmaintain ourselves through the Ages.True it is that we have been made toface the impact or the West that hasbeen effected through the BritishAdministration, Christianisation andWesternisation but we have been ableto vindicate ourselves that we are aRace with a destiny.(Contd. to Page 6)Heritage Explorer 3 January 2013

National Conference of Kalyan Ashram Concluded at Ujjain, MP- Narayan Dev SarmaOn completion of 60 years of itsinception, the Akhil Bharatiya VanvasiKalyan Ashram has organised a grandconference inviting all the differentJanajati communities and socialworkers from across the nation on 24-26 Dec.2012 at Ujjain, the importantplace for pilgrimage. Some of thedelegates reached from the far-flungareas of Arunachal Pradesh by travelling5 days from their villages. 2335delegates from more than 400 differentJanajati communities from al the statesparticipated in their colourful attires.There were culturalpresentations,observation of rituals andpuja to exhibit how eachof the communities maketheir offerings to AlmightyGod and intellectualdiscussions on differenttopics. Beside the abovemany resolutions werealso passed in theConference to show its concern to theNation. An important resolution thatwas passed in the Karyakari Mandal(National Executive Committee) on‘Land Acquisition and MMDR Bill 2011’read as follows:‘Bill replacing the Land AcquisitionAct (LAAct), 1894 is underconsideration of the Parliament since2007 and the Mines and Minerals (Devand Regulation) MMDR Act, 1957 ispending since 2010. Vanvasi KalyanAshram (ABVKA) has resolved itsviews earlier on both these issues afterdue consideration but we areconsidering these again in view of freshdevelopments on the issue.‘Standing Committee of both thehouses has returned the LandAcquisition, Rehabilitation andResettlement (LAR&R) Bill, 2011 to thegovernment after long–deepdiscussions and deliberations whichhas been put on floor of the Lok-Sabhato replace the LAAct, 1894. ABVKAtoo raised many issues concerning theSTs and demanded necessaryamendments in the Bill and theCommittee accepted them. Followingare some of the provisions which haveundermined the interests of ScheduledTribe, in the bill which has, presently,been tabled.‘Provisions related to rehabilitationin this Bill will be applicable only if theland being purchased or acquired byPrivate Company is 50 Acres or morein the Urban Area and 100 Acres ormore in the Rural Area. Thisdiscrimination is unfair when we seethat basic resources like Water, Coal,Iron-ore and lime are available in therural areas, particularly in the tribalareas. Moreover, governments aregiving so many tax concessions andsimilar rebates in order to encourageindustrial development in such areas.Consequently, many mega-ancillaryindustries like Steel, Cement, Powergeneration and Mining are installing intribal areas at large scale. Thisparticular provision of the Bill will denybenefits to the Rural/Tribal PAPsbecause R&R package will not beprovided if the land being acquired is100 Acres,‘All the disputes arising in matterof LAR&R have been kept out of thejurisdiction of the existing Civil Courtsand Special Courts called Authority willhear them. Serving or Retired Judgesshall be appointed as Presiding Officers(POs) in these Authorities. “Number ofsuch Authorities in a State” and “everydistrict will have this Authority or not”,is not clear in the Bill. This will not onlyaffect independence and impartiality ofthe judiciary but the victims-thedisplaced people will have to roam outof their districts for justice and it isbound to be more hard and costly.‘KKM of the ABVKA thereforedemands the Central Government that:‘Provisions of protection andrehabilitation of the proposed law shouldbe applicable equally to the Rural andUrban Areas and discriminatory ceilingof 50 and 100 acres should be removed,when a private company purchase oracquire land.‘Only those Judges in Serviceshould be appointed as POs in theproposed Special Courts-the Authorityand make it sure that no victimdisplaced-affected person will have totravel out of his home district forjustice.‘In the case of R&RtheRehabilitationPackage, provisions ofthe proposed law shouldbe made applicable withretrospective date-thedate of the year 2007 onwhich the Bill was firstintroduced in the Lok-Sabha and‘Land Reforms should be made inTribal Areas across the country andall the STs should be issuedinstruments of Land-Rights (Patta) ina time bound manner.‘So far as MMDR Bill 2011 isconcerned, ABVKA wants to say thatprovisions of compensating ProjectAffected Persons (PAPs), due tomining, will be shared the profits in themining activities, have been proposedin order to compliance of the NationalMining Policy, 2008; directions of theApex Court in the Samatha VersusState of Andhra Pradesh (1997) and inline of similar principles of profit sharingfollowed in countries like Australia,Canada, USA, Norway, Botswana andPapua New Gunnies across the worldwhere they are sharing profits with thePAPs ranging from 20 to 30%.‘Growing opposition of peopleagainst indiscriminate land acquisitionand mining activities in tribal area,earning huge profits of billions ofrupees by these miners on one handand denial of two square meals of thePAPs whose land are being used for(Contd. to Page 6)Heritage Explorer 4 January 2013

Workshop by ‘JANJATI FORUM’ Concluded at HaflongA Workshop was organised atBoro Haflong on 15-17 Dec, 2012 inwhich 150 delegated from 4 differentJanajatis (Dimasa, Hrangkhol, Zemeand Karbi) of the district participated.The topic of the Workshop was‘Philosophy & Spirituality of EternalReligion & Culture. (Sanatan Dharma-Sanskriti) of Janajati of Dima Hasao’.It was an assembly of elders andenlightened people of major and minorJanajati communities of Dima Hasaodistrict. During three days of thoroughdiscussions, the following points werediscussed- (a) Various aspects ofphilosophy and spirituality of ourSanatan Dharma (Eternal religion) andSanatan Sanskriti (Eternal culture) (b)Its native origin and by virtue of itsoriginality, its connection andsimilarity with Vedic philosophy ( c)The threat posed to our rich culturalheritage and our Sanatan dharma byalien forces and the strategy to evolvethe defense mechanism and (d) Toevolve such mechanism of organizingsuch assembly of learned andawakened people who will endeavourto cement dissentions and restoremutual confidence inside a particularcommunity, between different Janajaticommunities and also betweenJanajati and non-Janajaticommunities.Inaugurating the Workshop ShriRamkuiwangme Zeme expressed hisfeelings during his welcome speechas, ‘I am happy to welcome thedignitaries present on dais and all thedelegates from Dimasa, Jeme,Hrangkhol and Karbi communitieshailing from different villages andtowns of Dima Hasao district. I alsoextend my hearty welcome to ourwell-wishers from Haflong town. Weare happy to assemble here leavingbehind all differences if any. On earliertwo occasions, this workshop waspostponed due to the reasons beyondour control. However, believe that thisworkshop will achieve its assignedgoal due to collective effort andorganized move by all the concernedforgetting any communityconsideration.‘The Janajati community of DimaHasao district has been faced withmany problems. In the very recentpast, our district has witness a massupheaval resulting into killing of overscores of innocent people andrendering over a thousand families’homeless from various communities.This has left a scar of wounds. It hasshaken the mutual confidence andharmonious living. There have beensome invisible alien forces which hasreportedly created misunderstandingcausing irreparable loss our age oldfamily relations between variousJanajati communities and non Janajatibrethren as well. Much harm wascaused particularly between Dimasasand Jemes. I am happy, to witnessthat the elders and prominent citizensof both the communities workedovertime to restore the normalcy andbecause of their honest efforts, we arereaping the fruits of communalharmony and mutual confidence.‘The other misery which theJanajati community of this district isexperiencing is the storm of mindlesswesternization and conversion to alienreligion through proselytization,allurement and threat. Our peoplehave been in dark about the rapidchanges globally in general and atnational level in particular. Thesechanges are sometime not in tunewith the needs of the society andthese are harmful. The westernizationand conversion are some remarkablechanges which have a serious threatto the very cultural and religiousexistence of Janajati communities.The conversion accompanied withwestern education has shattered thefamily structure and society fabric. Ithas given rise to hedonicconsumerism and crisis of morality.This has threatened our language,culture, customs and religion as well.This conversion is violence.‘This threat is also to plainsocieties in different states but theyare able to resist and repel the threatsbecause of the strong culturalfoundation backed by worldRenowned Vedas, Smritis, Puranasand unparallel epics like Rämãyan andMahbharat. The plain societies couldsustain the threats because ofSanskrit and Hindi literature filled withworld’s ancient civilization,philosophy, Science, astronomy andglorious history. The literacy, rate ishigh there and economic condition isexceptionally better. They are reapingthe fruits of advanced technologywhich our here are still witness andconfront.‘Due to lack of suitable education,prevalent sufferings because of pooreconomic condition, lack of sufficientmeritorious literature on glorioushistory, religion and culture, customand tradition and in other humanaspects of life etc., our people arevery much vulnerable to these alienand hostile forces. For miserablecondition of Janajati communities ofthese regions, the central governmentand state Government areundoubtedly responsible.‘But, the societies affected by suchmiseries are no less responsible. Theyare required to identify the friends andfoes of the societies and accordinglythe matching fence is required to beerected. From time to time, the eldersof the society are required toassemble and prescribe certainnorms, which cause the reformationand necessary improvement. In thisprocess, the evil practices andoutdated socio-cultural practicesslowly and gradually die out with thepassage of time and a new set ofcode of conducts are evolved whichare more scientific and relevant to theall-round development andenlightenment of the particularsociety.’In the workshop, everyone weremuch encouraged and participated inthe discussions.Heritage Explorer 5 January 2013

Ifthis situation is exploited and resultsinto terrorism-unrest, it can never be ahealthy and harmonious environmentfor the development. People belongingto Scheduled Tribe have suffered themost due to mining and displacement.‘The Group of Ministers (GoM) onthis Bill at the Centre accepted theprinciple of sharing of profits by thePAPs and after long deliberationsapproved that all mining industriesacross the country will have to share26% of their profits with the displaced-PAPs. The GoM Chaired by the thenfinance minister Sri Pranab Mukharjeeaccepted this proposal along with otherthings and sent them to the LawMinistry for necessary amendments inthe old Act on 03rd January, 2011. Butthe things turned with the reshuffle inthe Council of Ministers at the centerand surprisingly, the GoM recalled itsrecommendations dated 3rd Jan; 2011,reviewed and reverted it! The GoM nowmandated that all miners except theCoal will share with PAPs an amountequivalent to Royalty paid to the StateGovernments for their mining. The Coalminers will share 26% of Profits after(Contd. from Page 3)National Conference of Kalyan Ashram concluded...deducting their Taxes, with the PAPs.Now the Coal Companies say that theytoo should be charged at par with otherminers-amount equivalent to Royalty toshare with the PAPs, and the IndustrialFederations taking clue of it are statingthat the Coal Miners should be chargedjust 26% of the Royalty.‘KKM of the ABVKA demands theCentral Government that:‘In order to assure inclusive growthand sustainable development, provisionsin the MMDR Bill 2011 should be madethat all miners including Coal andCaptive Coal Blocks shall share their26% of profits (after deducting PayableTax) with the PAPs;‘After receiving such share ofprofits, the proposed District MiningFoundations (DMFs) will directlydeposit 30% of amount so received intoBank Accounts of the PAPs, 65% shallbe used for infrastructural development(Roads & Bridges, Electricity,Communication etc) and SocialServices (Higher and TechnicalEducation, Medical and Health,Drinking Water and Sanitation etc) forthe mining area of the PAPs andremaining 5% for AdministrativeExpenses of the DMFs.‘This Act should be madeapplicable from 03rd January 2011when the GoM principally approvedidea of profit sharing, though the Billis pending since 2010.‘Though there is provision in theprevious Act that once the mining workis over the acquired land may be givenback after converting the land forcultivation to the original land owner,but nobody is following this provisionof the Act. In such circumstancesprovision should be made in theproposed bill that every Mining unitcreate a Reserve Fund with certainportion (3 or 4 %) of its profit every year.This Fund will be utilized solely for saidpurpose and the Funds will be operatedonly with the permission of DistrictCollector.‘Thousands of Janajati People havebeen organizing protest Rallies in manyDistricts across the country supportingthis demand.

Shillong Dec.30: Have we ceasedto get inspired by the lives freedomfighters? This concern was raisedduring the 150th death anniversaryMeghalaya’s freedom fighter U KiangNangbah here on Sunday.Nangbah had played a great role ininspiring the Khasi-Pnar community intheir brave bid to drive away the Britishfrom Jaintia Hills in the war of 1862-63.“In my opinion, as years go by, livesfreedom fighters of the state seem tohave little influence. If we have beenfairly inspired by the life of U KiangNangbah and others freedom fighterslike U Tirot Sing Syiem and Pa ToganN Sangma, things would have nothappened like what is happeningtoday,” observed Meghalaya deputychief minister Bindo M Lanong whileaddressing the occasion held by SeiñRaij Shillong at Qualapatty.“Our leaders have struggled somuch for our cause, but up to whatextend has Kiang Nangbah’s and otherfreedom fighters have inspired andinfluenced us and the wholecommunity,” he wondered. MLA andformer president of the Khasi Students’Union (KSU) Paul Lyngdoh, who spokeon the “Relevance of U Kiang NangbahToday”, regretted that the history ofresistance movement against theBritish rule did not find even a footnotein the history of India.Lyngdoh recalled how U KiangNangbah had resisted the diktat of theBritish who denied access of justiceto the people besides imposing of taxand curtailing the right to worship andpractice of religion.Stating that money playedspoilsport to the freedom strugglewhich brought defeats to freedomfighters and leaders in the midst ofresisting the British might, Lyngdohpointed out that it was the corruptinfluence of money which destroys thesociety at present times.“I think the influence of money isquite similar then and now. Becauseof the influence of money, it is difficultto see clean governance anddevelopment. In many constituencies,U Kiang Nangbah Remembered in MeghalayaMeghalaya deputy chief minister Bindo MLanong (2nd right) gives away the KiangNangbah Sesquicentenary CommemorationAward to Dr Shobhan N Lamare, associateprofessor of history department in NEHU, at150th death anniversary of freedom fighter UKiang Nangbah, in Shillong on Sunday.many well qualified candidates couldnot come out as leaders due to role ofmoney power,” Lyngdoh said.Lyngdoh also called for unityamong the Khasis and Jaintias, sayingthe two communities cannot exist indivision which is microscopic.“Our population is very small andwe are even lesser in number thanthose 14 lakh people who joined thefuneral precession of Shiv Senasupremo Bal Thackeray at Mumbai inMaharastra in November this year.Lyngdoh expressed concern over thethe degradation of environment andpollution of rivers due to miningactivities in Jaintia Hills, the homelandof the freedom fighter.Earlier, Lyngdoh released a book“The Sacrifice,” a sesquicentennialtribute to U Kiang Nangbah whileLanong handed over the KiangNangbah SesquicentenaryCommemoration Award to Dr ShobhanN Lamare, associate professor ofhistory department in NEHU. On theoccasion, floral tributes were paid tothe triangular monument of U KiangNangbah unveiled on December 6,1985 on the premises of the StateCentral Library here.Wreaths were also laid at themonument of U Kiang Nangbah builtat Syntu Ksiar, Jowai beside Myntduriver in Jaintia Hills. U Kiang Nangbahwas born to Ka Rimai Nangbah atTpeppale in Jowai.The exact date of his birth is not- Reigning Lyngdohknown but it is said that he was a childat the time when the British annexedthe Jaintia kingdom in 1835. He defiedthe superior British might with hit-andruntactics rallying forth from the junglehide-outs to vanish again into theirdeep recesses.The British managed to seizeNangbah by trickery while he was lyingsick at Umkara on December 27,1862. On December 30, 1862, he washanged in public at Jowai and from thescaffold, he said to his countrymen,“If my face turns eastward when I dieon the rope, we shall be free within 100years. If it turns westward, we shallbe enslaved forever.”U Kiang Nangbah’s words provedprophetic indeed. The dying patriot’sface turned eastward and India becamefree in less than 100 years, on August15, 1947.

The name ‘Kaziranga’ is famous forits ‘One-horn Rhinoceros’. It comprisesthe areas adjoining to the Northeasternpart Karbi Anglong district of Assam.The areas known by its present nameis associated with the popular mythbehind the given name of ‘Kaziranga’.According to a Karbi legend, HokRonghang established a Karbi Territoryaround the present ‘Kaziranga Park’.The name of his wife was Bong-eTeronpi who gave birth to threechildren, - two daughters and one son.The names of those two daughterswere Kading Ronghangpi and KazirRonghangpi while the name of her onlyson was Khoi Ronghang. Between thetwo sisters, Kazir Ronghangpi, theyounger one, was very beautiful andangelic to look at. She was lookinglike an unassuming amazing fairy ofthe heavenly abode.One day, Kazir Ronghangpi had aquarrel with her parents and ran awayfrom her home. She was seven yearsold then. The little Kazir Ronghangpiwas feeling hungry and thirsty and shewas roaming here and there alone inthe jungle. Finally, she saw a beautifulriver flowing with cool and clear water.She went near the river to drink there.Meanwhile, seven beautiful angels hadseen little Kazir and highly impressedby her divine soul in her. The sevenbeautiful angels took her to the abodeof God, she spent there for twenty-fouryears, and thus she had attained herdivinity in her young age.Meanwhile, Hok Ronghang becameold, he had handed over his territoryto his son, Khoi Ronghang to rule hiskingdom, and thus he got retirementfrom the affairs of the state’sadministration. In the meantime, somemisfortunes took place in the kingdomof Khoi Ronghang. Khoi RonghangTHE MYTH BEHIND THE NAME OF KAZIRANGAwas found missing from his kingdom.Finally, it had come to know that theenemy of Khoi Ronhang, the ruler ofterritory, had killed him very brutally ina chunky forest. Thus, Hok Ronghangand his wife, Bong-e Teronpi, had tolive a solitary and miserable life duringthe old age. In the meantime, theiryounger daughter, Kazir Ronghangpi,came down from the abode of God andshe had revived her brother’s life fromhis bereavement through her divinepowers.Kazir loved her brother and othermembers of her family very much.Therefore, she asked all gods andgoddesses to look after her family onearth. She came down to this earthfrom the abode of God with one hornedRhinoceros and Sarsomon Ronghang(Kartik). Her purpose of bringing onehorned Rhinoceros and SarsomonRonghang to this mother earth was tomake him cultivate paddy (Rice)cultivation with the help of one-hornRhinoceros on this earth. Kazir hadbrought this one-horn Rhinoceros(Kindu) from the abode of God. Shebrought them with her from theheavenly abode as per good advice ofthe seven beautiful angels to help outin the paddy fields of Hok Ronghangfor plowing at the present Kazirongaarea.Thus, Sarsomon Ronghang startedto cultivate paddy with the help of onehornRhinoceros and started to feedrice to birds, animals, insects,butterflies and bees, etc. Meanwhile,Sarsomon Ronghang finishedharvesting his paddy and was readyto go to his heavenly abode. He triedto take the Rhinoceros (Kindu) withhim but the animal refused to complyit and ran away to the thick junglealong with other animals, birds and- Dhaneswar Engtiliving creature. Thus, SarsomonRonghang left for his heavenly abodewithout taking Rhinoceros (Kundu) withhim. Therefore, Karbi people came tobelieve that one-horn Rhinoceros(Kindu) is here on earth at Kazirangasince then. Its thick skin believed tobe the thick cushion clothes and ropeused by Sarsomon Ronghang whileplowing in the paddy field. In addition,Rhinoceros (Kindu) still believed to bethe symbol of ‘LAKSHMI’, which bringsa good harvest to the farmers. It is thesymbol of wealth and riches as perKarbi’s believe. Hence, killing ofrhinoceros is a great sin for humanityas per the Karbi’s faith and credence.After passing out for a few years,Kazir’s parents, Hok Ronghang andBong-eh Teronpi, died. Her sister,Kading Ronghangpi also got married.Therefore, Kazir Ronghangpi had toperform the last rites of her parentsaccording to Karbi customs andtraditions.After the performance of the deadceremony of her parents, one day, shethought of going back to the abode ofGod and finally she flew to the abodeof gods and goddesses for eternally.Kazir Ronghangpi proclaimed justbefore her going back to the abode ofGod by saying so, – “This land of mybirth will be known as the ‘Territory ofKazir Ronghangpi’ after my name fromnow and the years to come, becausethis land has blessed me to live withthe Gods and Goddesses in the abodeof God.” Thus, the Karbis used to callthe name of the village of KazirRonghangpi as ‘Kazir Arong’ in duecourse of time.Thus, the present name of‘Kaziranga’ has appropriately derivedfrom the popular story of a legendarydivine soul of Kajir Ronghangpi.(Contd. from Previous Page)Pune Remembers Kiang Nongbah’s...freedom fighters from North East to the rest of India.

Mother Language ‘Sanskrit’ Needs Urgent Protection- Hemant GoswamiIf we want to preserve our heritage,the indifference towards Sanskrit hasto stop.“SANSKRIT,” THE mother of allIndo-Aryan languages, which has alsohelped in development and enrichmentof almost all languages across theglobe is fighting a tough battle in itsown country of origin, India. Thelanguage, acknowledged anddocumented to be the most structuredand scientific language in the entireworld, and which was the lingua-franca.has now been reduced to a vanishingminority with just about 14,000speakers left, across a country of overone billion.Why this plight of Sanskrit?It took nearly 200 years ofsystematic attack on Sanskrit toreduce it to such a pitiable andmarginalised position. It all startedwith the advent of the Britishers in Indiaand their desire to control the entirecountry. The transgressors identifiedthat India is so evenly structured thatit was almost impossible to enslavethe country. The British identified thesocial structure and the lingua-francaSanskrit, which was also the languageof scriptures, as an essential foundingblock of this unity in all the diversity ofIndia. A systematic and strategicpropaganda about the social structureand class division was started and anonslaught on Sanskrit was initiated.With the entry of T. B. Macaulay, whowas the ‘Secretary to the Board ofControl’ and looking into the affairs ofIndia, things changed very fast.Macaulay advocated that for takingcomplete control of the countryteaching of Sanskrit has to be stoppedand only English should be promoted.He argued that support for thepublication of books in Sanskrit (andArabic) should be withdrawn, supportfor traditional education should bereduced to funding for (the Madrassaat Delhi) and the Hindu College atBenares, but students should no longerbe paid to study at theseestablishments. The money releasedby these steps should instead go tofund education in Western subjects,with English as the language ofinstruction. He said, “...that we oughtto employ them in teaching what isbest worth knowing; that English isbetter worth knowing than Sanskrit orArabic; that the natives are desirousto be taught English, and are notdesirous to be taught Sanskrit orArabic; that neither as the languagesof law, nor as the languages of religion,have the Sanskrit and Arabic anypeculiar claim to our engagement; thatit is possible to make natives of thiscountry thoroughly good Englishscholars, and that to this end our effortsought to be directed.”This policy resulted in theEducation Act of 1835. Thereafter, allSanskrit schools and institutions lostto the British policies and bureaucracyand Sanskrit suffered irreparabledamage.Reinterpretation of Hindustan’sscriptures and documentsA battery of British scholars startedlearning Sanskrit and based onwhatever they could learn of Sanskritin a year or two, they startedtranslating the ancient scriptures anddocuments in English. While in Indiathey started a propaganda claimingthat Sanskrit was a dying language;but ironically Sanskrit was beingintroduced in almost all universities inEurope. The tardy and incorrecttranslations based on desultorylearning of the British scholars becamean introduction of Hinduism andSanskrit to the rest of the Englishspeakingworld. Selected works withtwisted translations which presentedHinduism and India in bad light werepromoted with full vigour to highlighthow bad the system of India was. Thelanguage of instruction of Sanskrit forhigher education in India was changedto English and almost all top positionsof Sanskrit professors were occupiedby Europeans. The neo-scholars ofEnglish language of Indian origin, whocould not be educated in Sanskrit, alsostarted relying on the Englishtranslations by the European authors,which also got referred in allsubsequent works. Unfortunately, ifone picks up any Indian textbook onHistory, the same propagandacontinues. Among the list of booksreferred to prepare any Historytextbooks; one can find that 80 per centof them are by foreign authors and restare using their work as leadingreferences. Nearly 200 years of thiskind of propaganda not only pollutedour culture but also almost destroyedthe learning of Sanskrit.Sanskrit Post-IndependenceDuring the framing of India’sConstitution, there were long debateson official language of the Country andthe role of Sanskrit. The ‘ConstituentAssembly’ and the sub-committeeformed on ‘Languages’ highlighted theneed to undo what the Britishers haddone and emphasised on the need tomake Hindi as the language of theState so that the common man canbe empowered and made a part of theGovernment. Article 343 of theConstitution specifically provided thatEnglish as a State language would bephased out in 15 years period and Hindiwould be the State language. Sanskritwas also considered to be made theofficial language, but it was felt thatthe country should wait for some moretime before initiating such an effort. Inthe same spirit, Article 351 specificallymentioned that for enriching Hindilanguage, Sanskrit would be used. TheConstitution of India directs underArticle 351 that wherever necessary ordesirable, for development of Hindivocabulary, it shall be expandedprimarily based on Sanskrit andsecondarily on other languages.The then political leadership wasfully aware about the importance ofSanskrit and a handful of our leadersdid highlight their concerns then andnow. While underscoring theimportance of Sanskrit, first PrimeMinister of India, Pandit Jawahar LalNehru said;“If I was asked what is the greatesttreasure which India possesses andwhat is her finest heritage, I wouldHeritage Explorer 9 January 2013

answer unhesitatingly - it is theSanskrit language and literature, andall that it contains. This is a magnificentinheritance, and so long as thisendures and influences the life of ourpeople, so long the basic genius ofIndia will continue.”However, the efforts and dreams ofthe Constitution framers could not befully realised even after over 60 yearsof Independence. The resistance didnot come from the people but from theEnglish-speaking bureaucracy and theforeign-trained English speakingpoliticians of the country, whocontinued to look down upon Hindi andSanskrit as lesser languages, and asthe languages of uneducated people.Present state of affairsVarious commissions andcommittees have highlighted theimportance of Sanskrit and the needto restore it to its old glory. All ourtexts, documents and scriptures arein Sanskrit; losing the language wouldbe losing our roots. Besides, Sanskritis the most structured and scientificlanguage spoken anywhere in theworld. In its syntax, grammar andstructure, no other language can matchit. ‘Sanskrit Commission’ which wasset up by the Government of India, inits 1957 report specifically pointed outthat Sanskrit is one of the greatestlanguages of the world and it is theclassical language par excellence notonly of India but of a good part of Asiaas well. The report states the Indianpeople look upon Sanskrit as thebinding force for the different people ofthis great country and described thisas the greatest discovery made by theCommission as it travelled from Keralato Kashmir and from Kamarupa toSaurastra. The commission, while sotravelling, found that though the peopleof this country differed in a number ofways, they all were proud to regardthemselves as participants in commonheritage and that heritageemphatically is the heritage ofSanskrit.India’s official education policyspecifically mentions that facilities forthe intensive study of Sanskrit has tobe encouraged. Still, the apathy,neglect and propaganda againstSanskrit has been so much that theSupreme Court of India had tointervene in 1994 to declare thatSanskrit has to be a part of education.However, the various States of India arestill disadvantaging, discouraging anddiscriminating education in Sanskrit atSchool, College and University level.Sanskrit learning has been stopped inmany schools in want of teachers andfunds. In Colleges and Universities,courses are being closed down andstudents are being discouraged;indirect discouragement and strategicdiscouragement is caused by limitingfinancial resources. Though Sanskritis a subject for appearing in CivilServices, the State and Universities areproviding no facilities to students forpreparing for civil services in Sanskrit,whereas other subjects are beingpatronised.As a result of this systematicpropaganda against this great heritage,offensives of the British rulers, and poorsupport for Sanskrit postindependence,the language has nowbeen reduced to a poor minority.According to the 2001 census of India,there remain only 14,135 speakers ofSanskrit in Hindustan. According to theIndian Census policy, if the totalnumber of speakers of any languageis reduced to less than 10,000, itwouldn’t even be reported as a separatelanguage.What needs to be done :The situation is emergent andSanskrit now urgently needs specialprotection. The Constitution of Indiaprovides for special protection tominorities based on distinct language,script or culture as per the provisionsrelated to minorities contained inArticle 29 and 30. Through a gazettenotification issued in 1993, the UnionMinistry of Welfare notified only fivereligious communities viz; theMuslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhistsand Zoroastrians (Parsis) as minoritycommunities. Linguistic minoritieshave not been considered for thepurpose of awarding protection and theconsequential “Minority” status eitherby the Union of India or the States. Thisneeds to change. Despite being alanguage of the masses once upon atime; Sanskrit now needs thisnecessary protection, as available tominorities.If Sanskrit is accorded “Minority”status, it will ensure a right to allSanskrit-speaking communities andstudents to ensure learning in Sanskritfrom primary level itself (Article 350A).Minority status also ensures the rightto conserve the language,independence in structuring andmanaging institutions of Sanskritlearning, right to establish andadminister educational institutions oftheir choice, protection from arbitraryacquisition, additional funds for runninginstitutions and printing/ publishing ofbooks in Sanskrit; and scholarshipsand other funding for students learningSanskrit; etc. Besides according“Minority” status to Sanskrit, everyState must also follow directionscontained in Article 351 of theConstitution and declare it as thesecond/ third language of the State.It is absolutely essential thatSanskrit be taught as language in allschools and institutions of higherlearning. State must ensure thatinstitutions of higher learning producegood Sanskrit teachers and alsoensure that all vacancies of Sanskritteachers in schools are filled-upimmediately. At individual level, allparents should also ensure that theirchildren learn Sanskrit, so that theycan taste and appreciate the geniusand depth of India directly in their basicmother tongue, without relying oncorrupted interpretation of their owntexts by a third person.Hemant Goswami is a socialactivist who recently moved the“Punjab and Haryana High Court,”praying for directing the Governmentto accord protection of “Minority” toSanskrit language. The High Court hasdirected the Government to take adecision within two months foraccording Sanskrit the protection asavailable to “Minorities.” Hemant canbe reached at hemant@sanskrit.asia(http://goimonitor.com/story/mother-language-sanskrit-needsurgent-protection)Heritage Explorer 10 January 2013

KSU Fires Religious Conversion Salvo at Minister Akon BoraGUWAHATI, Dec 22: After theallegation of rampantly issuing noobjection certificates to set upindustries in Greater Dimoria withouttaking majority of the local Karbi peopleinto confidence, State Social Welfare& Jail Minister and Dispur MLA AkonBora seems to be embroiled in anothercontroversy with the Karbi Students’Union (KSU) blaming Bora forpatronizing religious conversion in theGreater Dimoria area.Talking to The Sentinel, KSU jointsecretary Pardeshwar Tumung said,“Akon Bora has cleverly brought adivision among the plains Karbis settledin the Greater Dimoria area by luring asection of plains Karbis to embraceChristianity. These newly convertedKarbis are being used as vote bank byBora. For his devious political benefits,Bora also facilitated the formation ofAmri Karbi Development Council for asection of Karbi people called AmriKarbis who are in favour of Bora.”Tumung allege that the so calledAmri Karbis are penetrating deep intothe plains Karbi society and slowly butsteadily converting the Hindu Karbisinto Christians, and Bora is themastermind behind the whole game.“As a local MLA, Akon Bora shouldobject to such religious conversion inthe Greater Dimoria area but heencourages it,” Tumung fumed.As Tumung said, “Akon Boraoriginally hails from Majuli where largescalereligious conversion is takingplace. He has brought the trend ofreligious conversion to Greater Dimoriafrom Majuli.”KSU joint secretary said that manysmall and big churches of differentdenominations have sprung up in theGreater Dimoria area, mainly in the hillareas bordering Meghalaya in the last10 years. “Everybody knows that tobuild church, temple, etc plots of landare required. Who does make allotmentof plots of land to build church, temple,etc? Definitely the government andAkon Bora is part of the government.Bora is providing land to allow thechurches to open their centres in theGreater Dimoria area,” he said.Religious conversion is not the onlytrump card used by Bora to take asection of plains Karbi people ofGreater Dimoria in his favour. Bora alsoassured the Amri Karbis of accordingthem Scheduled Tribe (ST) status sothat they can be used as vote bank.“To accord ST status, lots of thingsshould be taken into consideration. Butthe State government, whichconstituted an expert committee forpreparation of the ethnographic reportfor inclusion of Amri Karbi Tribe in theST (H) list of Assam, has included allthe non-experts in the expertcommittee,” Tumung said.According to Tumung, “Amri KarbiNational Council president PadumIngti, Amri Karbi Students’ Unionpresident Hareswar Ronghang, AmriKarbi Tsornam Ahartsi presidentGandhi R Kathar and Amri KarbiBangthe Asem general secretaryKhargeswar Marme have beenincluded by the State government inthe expert committee. These peopleare not experts and they do notdeserve a place in the expertcommittee. We doubt that thesepeople have been included in the expertcommittee following therecommendation of Akon Bora.”In view of the ensuing panchayatelections in the State, the Congresshas asked Amri Karbi leaders ofGreater Dimoria to select candidatesof their choice.“If these things continue, especiallythe issue of religious conversion,ethnic clash may take place betweenthe plains Karbis and the Amri Karbisin Greater Dimoria,” Tumung added.Meanwhile, Amri Karbi NationalCouncil president Padum Ingti, whencontacted, said, “India is a secularcountry and any person can embraceany religion. We never force people toembrace any religion. The allegationof religious conversion leveled by KSUagainst us is baseless. If they haveany proof, they should furnish it.”On the issue of inclusion of someAmri Karbi members including Ingtihimself in the expert committee, Ingtisaid, “Government knows who theexperts are. Government took us in theexpert committee as we know thehistory of the Amri Karbis.”(http://www.sentinelassam.com)(Contd. from Previous Page)Carry Out Rehabilitation on the Basis of Voters’ ...“The voters’ list should be taken as the basis because every voter is supposed to be a citizen of the country and ina democracy, the people’s representatives are elected by the registered voters of the country and Bodoland Councilhas also been a representative of the people of Bodoland. Denying voters their citizenship would mean neglecting theprocess of elected democracy in our country,” the Governor said.He further added that he was endowed with special powers under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India forthe governance of Sixth Schedule areas. He suggested that the BTC authorities should apprise him of the developmentand other issues regularly from time to time.Patnaik suggested immediate introduction of the Panchayati System in BTAD which was an essential part ofdemocratic reforms so that the fruits of development could be enjoyed by the people at the grassroots.On the matter of formation of peace committees, the Governor said that it depends on the cooperation of the BTCand added that there is a deep sense of mistrust among the people. In order to eliminate such mistrust, peacecommittees should be formed at village levels, he said.The Governor emphatically stated that he would be visiting the border areas shortly and would try to expedite thesealing of the border so that no further immigration takes place.

Ex-IAF Chief Tipnis Blames Nehru for Defeat in 1962 China WarNew Delhi, November 20, 2012: Aformer IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal(retd) A Y Tipnis has sought to blameformer Prime Minister JawaharlalNehru for India’s defeat in the 1962 warwith China, amid a continuing debateon why air power was not used duringthe conflict.Speaking at a seminar ‘India andChina: After five decades of 1962 war’here, Tipnis also alleged that Nehruhad surrendered national securityinterests to realise his “ambition” to bea world leader.“It was more or less universallyaccepted perhaps grudgingly notopenly in some Indian quarters that toserve the dubious purpose of politicalsurvival that Pandit Nehru with hisgrandiose vision of a conflict free nonallignedworld surrendered vital nationalsecurity interest to the ambition ofbeing a world leader,” he said.The remarks made yesterday cameagainst the backdrop of the recentcomments by the current Indian AirForce Chief Air Chief Marshal N A KBrowne that the outcome of the 1962war with China would have beendifferent had the IAF been used in anoffensive role.Asked to expand on his remarks,Tipnis today said Nehru was the “majorcontributor” for India’s debacle.72-year-old Tipnis, who had a threeyeartenure as IAF Chief fromDecember 31, 1998 wascommissioned as a fighter pilot in1960, two years before the hostilitiesbroke out between India and China.Tipnis said he had also seen an ArmyChief in those days being “ticked off” likea school-boy by Prime Minister Nehrufor his alleged petulance. The issue ofIAF not being used in the 1962 hostilitiesis still debated by military historians andexperts and there is no clarity as to whythe air force was not used.Browne had said the IAF was notallowed to be used in an offensive roleand confined only to provide transportsupport to the Army. “These are openand glaring lessons we should haveimbibed,” he added.For the first time in last 50 years,India celebrated the anniversary of the1962 war with China on October 20where Defence Minister A K Antonyalong with the three Services chiefslaid wreaths on the Amar Jawan Jyotito pay tributes to the martyrs andparticipants of the war.(http://zeenews.india.com/news)German Publisher Brings out Book on Sankardeva- Irfan KhondkerGuwahati (Dec 22): LambertAcademic Publishing, a renownedpublishing house Germany, haspublished an English book onMahapurush Sankaradeva and hiscontributions.The German publishing house thathas direct marketing in as many as77 countries and online marketing haspublished the book titled SrimantaSankaradeva’s Contributions.The book is written by well-knownscholar on the Mahapurush and hisideologies, Dr Sanjib KumarBorkakoti.Speaking to Seven Sisters Post,Borkakoti said that the articlesincluded in the book deal with themulti-faceted contributions ofSrimanta Sankaradeva.“Through these I have tried to bringout the pioneering role played by thesaint in both philosophical as well associo-cultural arena. The Eka SaranaNama Dharma founded by SrimantaSankaradeva is unique in the absenceof a female deity worship, which isfound in some degrees in all otherHindu orders. Not only that, SrimantaSankaradeva was a forerunner of evenphilosophers like Spinoza,” said theauthor.He also said: “The curiosity ofknowing the saint and hiscontributions is high abroad. But manycomplaint lack of reading materialsthere.”Borkakoti added: “This is arenowned publishing house with agreat reach in over 77 countries. Andthis is not the end. The publisher willprint the book all round the year andmake the book more available toreaders.”Borkakoti, till now, has written over25 books on the mahapurush.He added: “The schools of artevolved by Srimanta Sankaradeva inpainting, dance and music have beenrecognised as unique by scholars. Butthis process of recognition has,however, been late due tocommunication gap between Assamand the rest of the world.”The writer, who had earliersuccessfully written SrimantaSankaradeva’s Borgeets andMadhavdeva’s Namghosha in English,hopes that the present book will go along way in bridging the gap. Theauthor has explained the process ofcreation of those cultural assets withingredients from ethnic groups in theBrahmaputra valley and Sankariculture that bonded the Assamesecommunity together have been shownin the book.Borkakoti further explains,“Srimanta Sankaradeva’s activitieswere not confined to only religion andsocial reforms but for creating a newsocial dynamics also.

(Literally chaliangmeans tilted). He has keen interest andlove for his own religion and culturalheritage. He was elected as aMalihangot (the leader of sangots, thefollowers of Daloi) in the traditionalinstitution.After the death of Riang DaloiShylla, the Waheh Khad ar nor ( elderrepresentatives from each clan)selected Kiri as a new Daloi of the ElakaChangpung to take responsibility for thesmooth running and functioning of thewhole kingdom. The traditional systemof selection of Kiri Daloi is popularlyknown as Thmat-thohkhyndaw. Themeanings of Thmat-thohkhyndaw is theselection of any important person byusing a very long chanting and finallysmash the egg and read the signs ofindication from egg yolk. Kiri Daloimarried a very beautiful lady known asChyndon Papang as per traditionalmarriage ceremony commonly knownas Bia Lampah.He took charge as the Daloi in theyear circa 1852 at the age of 29confidently. As the new Daloi, he wasan able young man who had a strongfeeling of patriotism in his heart andproperly governed the Elaka.There were many reasons whichprovoked the Jaintias to stand againstthe British forces; some of whichincluded,(i) The house tax imposed by theBritish on the Jaintias on 1860.(ii): The interference by the Britishin the religion and rituals of the Jaintias,such as the cremating of the dead,Behdienkhlam Festival, PastiehFestival and many others.In 1860 a house tax was imposedand within a few months, the peoplewere in open rebellion. Unfortunately alarge force of troops was closed at handand before the revolt could make anyhead. In Jaintia Hills 310 persons weretaxed on whom the whole amountassessed was Rs1259. The highestamount levied was Rs 9 per head, andthe rest Rs 5 per head.The most burning issue of the warwas the interference of the British atPastieh of Yalong on the concludingday on the Saturday 21 st April 1860(Muchai market day) in a particulardance place known as Khliehmyntang,where shield and sword were destroyedand some shields and swords weretaken away by the British.The Shad Pastieh is a religiousfestival performs during the late of Marchor early in the month of April. It isperformed at different altars located inRaij Yalong such as (i) Kaikso (2)Myntang (3) Kupli (4) Thanglipdang (5)Knein rapati (6) Musko Daloi (7)Blailakroh (8) Moomulang (9) Ha iungu Lyngdoh (in the Priest house) etc.The people were suppressed butcould not resist the Might of the BritishEmpire equipped with sophisticatedarms. The people were irked by theghastly behavioural activities of theBritish Empire and were totally helpless.In Jwai the people under theleadership of U Kiang Nangbah, wereactively motivating people from differentparts of the Kingdom particularlyChangpung and motivated Kiri Daloi toinitiate a rebellion against the BritishEmpire. Kiri Daloi convened a meetingof the neighbouring Daloi at Iawmuchai(Changpung market) during Kupli Pujafestival, in the late of the year 1861where the Daloi of Elaka Mynsoo, Daloiof Elaka Raliang, Daloi of ElakaNangphyllud and Elders of Khonchnongvillage under the leadership of LongSuiai and others discussed about thesuppression by the foreigners. Jwaipeople played a very active role inconvening different regional Durbars tomobilize and revolt against the mightyBritish force.The Jaintias held a General meetingat Madiah Kmai Blai, Syntu Ksiar onthe Monday 20 th Janaury1862 andunanimously elected Kiang Nangbah asthe leader of Jaintia force and Kiri Daloias the spoke person of the JaintiaDurbar, to have fought against theBritish force for their own rights. Afterthe General meeting was over, theJaintias with their brave hearts rised afierce rebellion and attacked the JowaiThana where some of the Britishsoldiers were killed and few of them hada narrow escape. This war is popularlyknown as Thma Jaintia in local Pnarlanguage (which literally means Jaintiarebellion). The wife of Kiri Daloi, MrsChyndon Papang narrates theconsequences of agitation to LakhmaSungoh (my grandmother), who told thatafter exactly two weeks from the JaintiaDurbar, “The British came here andinvaded us at Raliang market day”.The Jaintia people burnt the housesof the native Christian in Jowai on the23rd January 1861 because they weresuspected as the informers of theBritish and also they didn’t join thestruggling against the British troops.In Changpung sector British troopswere lead by Lieutenant Colonel W.Richardson in guidance of Pator ofNangbah and Changpung people werelead by Kiri Daloi himself. Changpungpeople fought bravely against the Britishforce with their bows, arrows andmuskets as to have resisted the Britishforce.As soon as Kiri Daloi received themessage from his soldiers about theHeritage Explorer 17 January 2013

arrival of the enemies he went hurriedlyto his resident to meet his wife and hisonly son named Kyrsiang Papang inhis residence before he went to the battlefield. But on reaching home he foundthat his wife was not at home and hissister in law, named Syiang Papangtold Kiri Daloi that she went out to meethim and inspire him before fighting theenemies. During that moment he gavehis money bag to her sister so that shewill hand it over to his beloved wife butshe (Syiang Papang) didn’t give the bagto his wife.The location of the wyrchakor(stockade) is along the banks of riverUmiurem, a steep sloping landscapedivided by this Rivers flowing throughChangpung village and joins Kupli Riverat Testar. Some of the soldiers fromboth the parties were wounded and evenloss their lives during the battle. As perinformation from Mr Subor TkhohSuchiang he told Chyndon Papangthere were eleven persons fromChangpung who were killed during theencounter and Kiri Daloi was amongthem. Mr Subor Tkoh Suchiang is a righthand man of Kiri Daloi who was firedby the British soldiers in the encounterat his right knee. Kiri Daloi was shotdeath in his head at Changpungbattlefield on 5 th February 1862 (Raliangmarket day) at 3 P.M in the afternoon.After Kiri Daloi was killed, Changpungpeople’s resistance against theBritishers started losing momentum.The British troops carried the corpse ofKiri Daloi to the western side of riverUmiurem for post-mortem. Since thattime, that particular place was namedas Kaiksang (literally means thewashed away the entrails). Kiri Daloileft behind his only three month old sonnamed as Kyrsiang Papang and hisbeloved wife.Changpung village was burnt downand the fire raged all through the night.During the incident some old aged andsick persons were burnt alive insidetheir houses which in-turn traumatisedthe people of Changpung. The villagersalong with the family of Kiri Daloi werechased out and they fled and hidthemselves in the eastern part of thevillage known as Thlumynchong andChahong. During their narrow escapemany crying babies were thrown away,and some of them died of starvation.The Mrs Chyndon Papang was carryingher three month baby and as she wascrying her friends shouted, “hei,Chyndon noh katu ka khon pharieh waiam sangko, ia sniaw ka phareng i, iatyniap ka i pathan du nei daw i iong utuu khon pho” (Chyndon throw away yourson so that the foreigners might hearus and kill us due to your crying baby).On hearing this Chyndon replied “Banu noh o ia u ni u khon u iongnga bhawa ieh phi nga samen ieh in iap alehpher re, dieh phi nanglai”(it is better toleave me let me die rather than to throwmy own son, please leave me alone).They left her alone and proceeded to asafe place far away from village.Changpung elected the nephew ofKiri Daloi as the leader to continue thebattle against the British. TheChangpung warriors came out from theirhide out during the night and attackedtheir enemies with their guerrilla tacticsin their camp at Kdohkulei. The Britishbrought the poultries from Changpungand took those poultries at the smallcave known as Ksetsyiar for consumedthem.Changpung people were staying atThlumynchong and Chahong jungles forsome months and as a result of whichthe people suffered tremendously. Afterwhich the elders convened a meetingat madan Sniriang (Sniriang field) andelected Shri Kat Suchiang to have leadand surrendered in front of the Britishforce at the base camp at Kdohkuleifollowing which they were taken toJowai.During the journey to the base campof British at Kdohkulei, Kat Suchiangand his followers carried a white flag asa symbol of capitulation to the BritishForce. Before reaching the camp abouta stone throw, Kat Suchiang bowedmany times to the British force as asign of surrender. After an agreementthe British promised them to bring peaceand stability in the village, butChangpung people have to pay tax. Theleader and his followers went back totheir hideout and informed people toreturn back to their village.Changpung people returned backand found out all their belongings suchas gold necklace, bangles, Kpeinksiar(necklace made of gold in the form ofsmall balls and tied up together with astrong thread) were no more. Domesticanimals such goats, cattle, strayedthemselves without their own lord.Taxation is another burden added tothe tension of people which trouble themand their daily life. The poor people hadto pay their taxes using their utensils,ear rings and other domestic items suchrice, clothes, etc.During the cold night of the Thursday25 th December 1862 (Thymblein marketday) at 6.30 P.M British force inleadership of Lieutenant T.R Saddlierand Lieutenant EW Walcott fromNartiang lead an army to Umpara villagewhere Kiang Nangbah, and his followerswere in place of escape. They weretravelling during the night time in fullmoon night without using torchlightexcept in the extreme cases and restedduring the day. Umpara is a smallvillage of 12 houses inhabited by Pnarlanguage speaking people locallyknown as Khyrwang, which is within8hrs to 10 hours of walking distancefrom Mynser. It is located near a smallvillage known as Rymphum village. TheBritish force were given information byMon Daloi of Nartiang (Bordaloi or thechief of Daloi) and his right hand manMr Long Sutnga from Nartiang villageitself. The natural route for dynamicoperation to Umpara village was guidedby Mr Long Sutnga. The British troopand Long Sutnga reached Umpara at 6A.M early in the morning where almostall the people are still asleep.The British troop finds a very difficulttask to locate the exact house whereKiang Nangbah and his followers arehiding out. So the two Lieutenants sendLong Sutnga to have a spying to eachand every house. Umpara is a smallvillage divided by a road in the middleso; it is easy for Long Sutnga to performthe task of spying. At last Long Sutngareached in one hut with a snoring soundof many men. Long Sutnga is a PnarLanguage by native shouted and callingthe name of Kiang Nangbah and hisfollowers. Kiang Nangbah and hisfollowers awake on hearing a Pnarlanguage with a sense of feeling thatthey might be their own supportivepeople in the hideout. People inside thehouse response to the request of LongSutnga and open the door and saw himHeritage Explorer 18 January 2013

with an exhaustive mood and shiveringof coolness. Long Sutnga on seeingKiang Nangbah screamed and calledthe British and suddenly grasp KiangNangbah, but he was thrown away dueto the strong energy of Kiang Nangbah.The Troop rushes to the spot and KiangNangbah took quickly his gun andaimed at the head of Lieutenant T.RSaddlier at a very close range but thegun didn’t discharge the flames andbullets. Lieutenant was narrowescaped in this fraction of second andhe ordered promptly his troop to firewhile Kiang was picking his sword.Kiang was fired in his hand and theBritish captured and forceful tied hishand to the back. The beloved wife ofKiang Nangbah from Challam clan andhis two children also were taken alongwith him.After the British force hadaccomplished the dream they orderedthe villagers to prepare food for themin supervising of the British people. Atthe first instant the local peoplerejected the order but they had to do itat the gun point. After they had eatentheir launch at Umpara British forcereturned back to Nartiang along withthe hostagesIn the afternoon of the same day(i.e. 27/12/12) the British returnedback and halt at Pnar village knownas Nonglaket for a night which situatedon the way to Nartiang. In the next dayie on (28/12/62) early in the morningthey left Nonglaket and reach Nartiangat 8 P.M in the evening and halted atNartiang with Mon Daloi and LongSutnga for further work and benefit ofthe British. The British handed over thewife of Kiang Nangbah and his twochildren (one male and one female) toDaloi Mon for care taking, but thesefamily of Kiang Nangbah vanishedaway in the hand of Mon Daloi and LongSutnga. And early in the morning ofthe next day (i.e. 29 th December 1862),they left Nartiang and reached Jwai at2 PM o clock in the Evening. U KiangNangbah was brought in front ofColonel Dunford and he convictedKiang Nangbah a final trail with deathsentence. Jaintia Hills was betrayedby Manik Daloi Pakyntein of Jowai,Mon Daloi of Nartiang and LongSutnga. British Governmentpromulgated anyone who could giveinformation about Kiang Nangbahwould receive a reward of Rs1000/- andfor his follower would be Rs 500/-. Thisreward of Rs1000/- increased theambition of Long Sutnga which lead tothe incarceration of Kiang Nangbah.Kiang requested Colonel H.FDunsford to leave him for a week longfor meeting his wife, children, family,and others important friends, but sirDunsford rejected his request andhanged him to death on 30 th December1862 (Musiang market day) at 5 P.Min the evening at Úawmusiang, Jwai,Jaintia Hills, Hynniewtrepland, India.In the present context of modernsociety, Kiang Nangbah is an exampleof strong Divinity faith and belief as tofight against corruption and exploitationof the under privilege. He had a strongcommitment and calibre to Pnarpeople, and as an example toconsecutive future generations with astrong determination, truth andintelligibility of the mind power.But after India got independence in15th August 1947 those lives sacrificedfor our freedom are forgotten and theyare all our FORGOTTEN HEROES.Information Sources:(a) From Smt Lakhma Sungoh thegranddaughter of Kiri Daloi, ShangpungJaintia Hills collected in 1986.(b) From Shri Tokin Rymbai an IASofficer Goverment of India collected in1989.(c) From Shri Jopthiaw Pariat anindependent researcher, JowaiMeghalaya 2012.(d) From local people from Umparawhen i and my friends from Thoohtrecultural and film Society, Jaintia Hillsin guidance of Mr Jopthiaw Pariatvisited the site on March 2008.(e) From Don mulieh collected inthe year 2000 a Harmuid (traditionaldrummer) of Raij Yalong and from MrLomy Pale.(f) From the travelling Diary of theCommissioner and GovernorGeneral‘S Agent, North East Fontier,on special duty in the Cossyah andJynteeah Hills, from Saturday, 21 stMarch, to Saturday , 4 th April 1863,inclusive.(g) From the North East frontier ofIndia by Alexander Mackenziepublished in 1884.(Shri Heibormi Sungoh, Shangpung,West Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya Memberof Thoohtre cultural and film Society, JaintiaHills, email: Heibormis6@gmail.com,Mob.: 96121-62191)Mathematician Ramanujan’s Birth Anniversary ObservedGUWAHATI, Dec 22: abacus, amathematical society for children,celebrated the birth anniversary of thegreat Indian mathematician SrinivasRamanujan today at Maharishi VidyaMandir at Silpukhuri in Guwahati.Dr Ranjana Choudhury, foundersecretary of abacus, informed thatabacus worked for popularization ofMathematics among children so thatthey get rid of the phobia for maths.The year 2012 has been declaredas the ‘National Year of Mathematics’in the country to pay a tribute to thegreat Indian mathematical geniusSrinivasa Ramanujan.Dr KD Krori, eminent physicist andformer Principal of Cotton College, DilipKumar Dutta, a former professor ofMathematics in the University of RhodeIsland, Kingston, USA and Dr BijoyKrishna Deva Sarma, nationallyacclaimed educationist andmathematician were present at thefunction.Vedic mathematics for children, abook written by Dr Ranjana Choudhury,former Head of the Departmentof Handique Girls’ College, Guwahati,was also released by Dr KD Krori.
