By Oken Jeet Sandham

Baba Ramdev Maharaj, internationally famed Yoga Guru, has done remarkable job by personally visiting Nagaland state to impart his rare “Yoga classes” to the Naga people. He has done this at State’s commercial hub, Dimapur and Capital, Kohima. Participants of his “Yoga classes” included VVIPs, Press personnel and ordinary citizens. Such rare opportunity has also come to the people of the State with free of charges and the only thing is they should have “Entry Pass” which, according to the organizers, is only for security reasons, as the “Yoga Guru”— due to his world-wide fame— has Z-Plus security cover.

Another great step the great Yoga Guru has done is his visiting to the Kohima Village where he is attending Model Village Program. His visit to this one of the greatest villages in Asia would surely show a very positive message to the rest of Naga people who are Christian. In fact, Nagaland is considered as a Christian State having over 90% Christian population. His visit to Kohima Village itself will make an indelible mark in the history of India in general and Nagaland in particular. He has plainly and sincerely shown that his coming to Nagaland is a message of universal brotherhood and nothing to do with religion, caste and creed. One of his main crusades is also fighting against “corruption.”

Here in the Northeast many consider that Sadhus and Gurus from mainland India are only to preach Hinduism and they could not bring any changes and understandings with the people in the region. Many also thought their wisdoms are not matched with that of regions’. Also many Indian Yoga gurus were not prepared to visit this part of the country in the past. Baba Ramdev’s extensive tours in the Northeast and Nagaland in particular have rather surprised many and this would really bring changes in the thinking of the people who are more gullible, simple and straightforward. Once the true message of life and the benefit of such “Yoga” are given to them, it will be there with them forever and even generations to come. We need many Baba Ramdevs to visit Nagaland and hope Baba Ramdev would visit Nagaland again in near future and stay here for at least few days.

Two glaring examples of failure of government and administration in Manipur

Sir,

I think there is no need of reminding the Govt. of Manipur and the people of Manipur who have been reeling under the irrational, incompetent and obscurantist practices of the present SPF Govt. of Manipur.

There are hundred of examples to prove it. I think that the people of Manipur are aware of it, and I have also become completely fed-up with the present dispensation of the Govt. However, as two glaring examples of the present Govt.’s corrupt and confusing practices of the Govt. I am completed to cite the following two examples (1) The extremely confusing process of the appointment of 1500 Primary Teachers of Manipur. Advertisement was issued, Exam was conducted and interview as completed long back. Long back means 4 years dumping the whole process somewhere in the pit bog of corruption and malpractice. The result has not been effectively declared so far and the aspirants are forced to live in a hell of frustration. (2) Advertisement was issued through the MPSC, examination was conducted by the Service Commission along with the required process of interview. Nearly 400 candidates were declared to have been selected for the posts of Medical Officers under the Govt. of Manipur. Days and months have passed and no posting was given even after the issue of the appointment letter. Now at last, after along wait, the posting order is said to have been issued. This is a welcome step to relieve the tension of the young medical graduates. However, in this also an extremely wicked and irrational problem has cropped up. 17 Medical graduates who have been serving as House jobbers in it, have been transferred under the order issued dated the 17th Feb 2011 No. 04/04/2009-M/ issued by the Secy Health in the name of the Governor of Manipur to serve JNIMS as Junior Residents without any rational and legal process of protecting their Fundamental Rights as Medical officers und eth Govt. of Manipur.
This is what is happening in Manipur at present. Now the big question is; how long shall we tolerate this kind of incompetent arbitrary and corrupt practice of the Govt.?

Yours faithfully

Editorial – Unfortunate Development

The incident yesterday of Meitei villagers having to evacuate their homes in the Kangpokpi, Sapermeina and Motbung area on account of alleged threats by a Suspension of Operations, SoO, signatory militants highlights yet again the fragile communal harmony which can be so thoughtlessly jeopardised by unscrupulous armed men. According to reports, the villagers were being targeted not for anything they did, but to spite rival militant groups belonging to their community. This is a disgrace, and in the history of even the very bad ethnic relations in the state, face offs like this seldom happen. The only exception may be similar frictions at Moreh some years ago just as the SoO was coming into force. Even there, militants shot people they claimed were associated with their rivals and not indiscriminately target the public of other communities. Otherwise, militants have been generally known to fight rival militants, but seldom ever trained their guns indiscriminately at the public as in the present case. The incident is condemnable for another grave reason. Standing on a communal tinderbox as Manipur does today it had the potential to spark off a communal mayhem. Thankfully though better senses prevailed and there were no repercussions. This notwithstanding, it would have left a bad taste in every sane person’s mouth. We hope the situation returns to normal at the soonest and the government does all within its power to ensure that the matter is put rest conclusively. It goes without saying it must also reassess its SoO ground rules so that militants which have come under its umbrage to facilitate peace talks do not become public nuisances. Sadly, at this moment, the opposite is just the reality. Again, once the trouble has subsided, leaders of the different communities must come forward and do their bit to patch up and heal the wounds. The state has seen enough ethnic conflicts and communal bloodsheds. Surely no one wants to see a repeat of the carnages of the early 1990s.

But it is the government and the Army (including the Assam Rifles) which must be made to face the music. Insurgents at large committing crimes of extortion and intimidation is bad enough, but extremely dangerous intimidations by militant groups who are on truce with the government and are in government approved designated camps under government protection, which could have triggered a chain of murderous violence cannot be accepted under any circumstance. For this reason, it is not so much the militant group allegedly involved in the intimidation but more the government and the Army who must make a public clarification on how such an atrocious development was allowed to happen under their very noses. Once they have done this, they must also pledge as well as make it known what remedial measures have been taken so as to instil public confidence again, especially of those who have had to abandon their homes and flee.

Yesterday’s incident brings to fore the old cliché that peace is not just about an absence of violence. This is so because there is also something as latent violence and this does not show up in statistics. Unfortunately, the government’s popular indices of peace and violence do not ever attempt to understand this factor, much less make it a determinant in drawing up a picture of the law and order in the state. It is therefore a foregone conclusion that the government would at the end of the year be claiming that it has succeeded in controlling the law and order situation because it has signed truces with several militant groups, and that the number of cases of actual bloodshed and ambushes has gone down. On the face of it, this is true, but the fact is, as anybody in a conflict torn state like Manipur would vouch, it is only a half truth. There is another half which goes unreported in this approach. This unreported half which negates all claims of a control of the law and situation by the establishment is what is showing up in cases of intimidation such as seen yesterday. However, quite obviously again, when the police department draws up its progress report at the end of the year, incidents such as yesterday’s would not figure, on the plea that there was not a single bullet fired or anybody killed or injured. The only thing exposed under the circumstance would be the flawed assumptions of peace.
