IMPHAL, July 27: Health minister Phungzathang Tonsing today inaugurated the 24×7 Nongpok Sekmai Primary Health Centre building. Speaking on the occasion, Phungzathang said the PHC was not inaugurated for long

IMPHAL, July 27: Health minister Phungzathang Tonsing today inaugurated the 24×7 Nongpok Sekmai Primary Health Centre building.

Speaking on the occasion, Phungzathang said the PHC was not inaugurated for long as the land transfer for the PHC was yet to be completed.

Now that the process is complete, the PHC is being inaugurated with 24×7 open services, he asserted.

Five doctors aided by sufficient number of nurses will attend the PHC starting today, the Health minister continued.

Since the department has already scrapped direct recruitment of grade IV employees after proper consultation with the Chief Minister, the department has decided to hire attendants on daily-wage basis, he stated.

In order to facilitate the 24×7 opening of the PHC, we are outsourcing grade IV employees, he said.

The minister also informed that the nearby residents can provide van services s 24×7 ambulance starting today.

He said the lack of special doctors in the State would be somehow lessened as more than 168 post graduate doctors will be passing next year.

The minister also appealed to the doctors and nurses to maintain proper dress code while attending to their duties.

The PHC has child delivery facilities but lacks a baby warmer which will be provided soon, he said.

The PHC, he said has only two beds at the moment and two more will be added soon. Construction of the AYUSH building will soon be completed within this year, he informed.

Meanwhile, Andro MLA Th Shyamkumar said that the AYUSH building was earlier constructed by the Manipur Development Society, MDS but it collapsed during a cyclone.

Now, the MDS has agreed to provide some fund to reconstruct the building with more fund from the MLA Local Area Fund.

He further asserted that it is the responsibility of the people of the surrounding villages to provide security and support to the PHC and its staff and protect them from any pressure.

People must also clean-up the surrounding campus to ensure a good environment in the hospital, he said appealing further that in case the public started to keep their responsibilities, the government will soon follow suit and may even upgrade the PHC to a CHC.

There is also a need to spread awareness on issues including those of pregnancy in the health sector, he said.

The MLA also declared that he will personally meet all pressure for financial demand made to the PHC and its staff.

Director Health Family Welfare Mission Director O Ibomcha said that PHC is not only first aids centre. Now it is a 24×7 PHC with delivery facility. And it needs portable X-ray machine, Ultra-sound, laboratory testing labs, and other facilities, he said.

Since the PHC will run 24×7, it will need an ambulance, he said appealing to the people to provide a private van for the purpose for which the department will provide rental fee.

The ambulance which will be fitted with the GPS will be available for day and night service of transferring patients and will be available at the hotline of 102 for emergency cases, he observed.

Corrosive corruption

If the governments in the decades that have gone by, had ensured that at least the education sector in Manipur was untouched by corruption, the state today would have been

If the governments in the decades that have gone by, had ensured that at least the education sector in Manipur was untouched by corruption, the state today would have been shining much brighter. In all probability, there would have been no need for a section of the Meiteis to want to be included in the Schedule Tribes list either, for the competition readiness of young job seekers overall would have been raised much higher than they are today, ensuring the community is able to garner a good share of the general seats in all-India competitions for the top jobs on offer by the Union government. Those already in the Schedule Tribes list, probably would also be ready by now to confidently and voluntarily enter the general category. Ultimately the playing fields would have to be levelled out, but it is better for this levelling to be at higher plateaus so that skills and awareness remain competitive even at the national level, than to seek the bars of competitions to be lowered and competitors from the state be patronisingly treated as handicapped by the rest of the country. This will ultimately tell on the psychology of the place, and the worst damage will not be so much when others begin to condescendingly doubt the worth of their achievements, but when they begin to doubt the worths of their own achievements.

The presumption we are making here is that those among the Meiteis who want to be listed as Schedule Tribes, want it so as to avail the benefits of being in this category in the Indian dispensation and not because they actually think they are sociologically worthy of the tribal status. We are also making a distinction between a `Schedule Tribe` and a `tribe`. Take the case of Nepal where there are as many different ethnic communities as in the Northeast, as an illustration. None of the ethnic communities, big or small, in the country call themselves `tribes`, because there is absolutely no benefit to be had in the country by being called thus. They all however call themselves `indigenous peoples`, among others complicating the definition of `indigenous` as in most other Asian regions, as a respected scholar in the field, Christian Erni also notes. As to who is a Schedule Tribe there can be no dispute. These are the communities listed in the 5th Schedule of Indian Constitution, but as to who is actually a `tribe`, if strict sociological and anthropological definitions were adhered to, will be as contentious as deciding who exactly is `indigenous`. Can someone who shops on the internet, is used to internet banking, for whom credit cards and cell phones are indispensable everyday accessories as vital as oxygen, travels by air, lives in cities, holds a modern job, rather than live off a hunting-gathering economy, subsists on primitive agriculture, believes in animistic religions, goes on clan wars etc, be sociologically or anthropologically a `tribe`?

Nobody can dispute the fact that most of the problems Manipur faces today are because of official corruption which has hastened a corroding of public faith in the government. The one institution which catalysed this corrosion the most would have to be education. It is true as government schools and colleges began to rot sometime in the 1970s, there was a revolution initiated by a few missionary schools which in the decades that followed resulted in the birth of many sterling private schools, offering quality school education to students. It is not a co-incidence that the best of these later private schools were founded by the first, second and third generation students educated in the early missionary schools. However, private schools run on the money they earn so have to have a cost, and this cost is not affordable to all. Therefore, only a parallel improvement in the standard of education in government schools could have been able to reach this revolution in school education to all sections of the population. This was never allowed to happen because of corruption and nepotism which ensured government schools are filled to the brim with unqualified teachers. The resultant deficit in the competitive levels of most of our students is loudly visible today. It must be however said in all fairness that things are improving now, and hopefully by the next generation, this vital sector would be on track again setting off a chain reaction for the better.
If in the school sector, the private schools have been the saving grace to some extent, of the college sector where there have been no such revolutions, the less said the better so far. If an inquiry were to be done today, it will not be a surprise at all if a good number of teachers are found to hold fake Ph.D certificates. We are not saying this out of the familiar intuitive judgment based on the small trickle of quality papers coming out of the faculties of these institutions of higher education, or the flight of students to colleges in other states, but from a knowledge that fake certificates from fake universities, including one in Meghalaya which had been only a few years ago shut down after its fraudulence was discovered, have made their way into our colleges.

NPF reasons govt`s inefficiency for shut down in ADC areas

Imphal, July 27 (NNN): Naga People`™s Front (Manipur State Unit) cited Manipur government`™s inefficiency and negligence in `proper`™ formation of six Autonomous District Councils as the reason behind calling of

Imphal, July 27 (NNN): Naga People`™s Front (Manipur State Unit) cited Manipur government`™s inefficiency and negligence in `proper`™ formation of six Autonomous District Councils as the reason behind calling of general strike in the hill areas of today. The front has called `total shut down`™ strike in all the six ADC areas from July 26 midnight to today midnight. Due to the strike, normal lives were heavily paralysed.

This was informed to our agency by the NPF state president while speaking exclusively to this agency from the party`™s office at Imphal`™s Dewlahland today.

President Awanbou Newmai said, `Delay in the bestowment of power to the elected ADC members only shows the government`™s negligence of the hill people and its disrespect to the democratic rights exercised by the hill citizens of the state. Even though it`™s been more than a month and a half that the ADC results were out, no council can function properly till yet. Apart from our party, the hill people know this negligence of the government and have hence supported the strike today.`

He expressed his gratitude to the various hill-based civil bodies that supported today`™s protest. Awanbou also appreciated the huge role that media played in disseminating the current `unfortunate`™ situation of the hill people. He appealed the media fraternity to keep continuing with its role of bridging the gap between the hill people and the rest of the state and the government.

Commenting on the ADC Election that concluded few ways back, Awanbou Newmai further added, `Holding of grass-root level democratic process such as ADC polls is a very good and important step, and I thank the hill people for making the polls a success and for fully exercising their democratic rights. I also would appeal the government to ensure transparency and to take due care while conducting such grass-level democratic exercises in urban areas, during the times of Municipality and Panchayat elections. Fair conduct brings unity while negligent and unfair conduct brings disturbance to the unity fabric to the people of the state.`

The NPF Manipur president also stated, `Our party achieving majority in four ADCs shows the trust and faith that the hill people have on us, and there should not be an iota of doubt in the results. If the Manipur government fails to give a concrete reply and assurance on the fate of the ADC elected members, then we will be ready to launch severe forms of protests than today`™s strike and will also take up the matter to the higher authorities at the Centre.`

On the other hand, addressing on the ongoing widespread agitation in Manipur regarding the demand of ILP system, Awanbou Newmai said, `The present unfortunate issue has arisen out of careless attitude of the government on the issue and its half-hearted attitude to the wishes of the people. In the process, life of one student, Sapam Robinhood, was also lost which could have been avoided. Saying so, we appreciate its effort to draft a new Bill and hope that it fulfils the demands of the people. `

He also blamed the Ibobi-led Congress government for seeing only the prospects in everything without any performance, and accounted this as the reason for the major issues that are happening in the state.

NPF also made its clear stand on the grievances faced by the nearby locals of the Thoubal Multipurpose Project (commonly known as Thoubal Dam). He said, `The stipulated time for the completion of the project is 24 years, but now even after 34 years, the project is left incomplete. At the cost of development, the happiness and life of the common people should not be affected. The recent case of breakage of Sekmai Dam again reaffirms the occurrence of corruption in such developmental projects.`

He appealed the government and officials concerned to be extremely careful and competent in construction of such big projects. The NPF state president also demanded the state government `to step down`™ if it fails in performing to the expectations of its people.

CCpur elected ADC members unhappy with delay in formation of councils

LAMKA, Jul 27: Elected members of the Autonomous District Council Churachandpur convened a formal meeting at the office chamber of the chairman in charge Langkhanpau Guite today and discussed the

LAMKA, Jul 27: Elected members of the Autonomous District Council Churachandpur convened a formal meeting at the office chamber of the chairman in charge Langkhanpau Guite today and discussed the lukewarm response from the State government on the issue regarding the formation of the elected ADCs 47 days after the election results were declared on June 10.

The newly elected members expressed disappointment with the government to resolve to use all means to expedite formation of the councils, and to further ask the government to settle the nomination of two seats for the ADCs at the earliest.

The meeting also resolved to demand the government to facilitate the council formation as they had fulfilled all norms including the taking of oath on July 13.

It was decided that in case the State government fails to meet the demand at the earliest, the members will meet the Chief Minister and the deputy Chief Minister.

According to the chairman designate said they don`™t believe in effecting bandhs and such measures which only hurt the poor people, however this should not be interpreted as weakness on the part of elected members.

He further urged the government to take their demands seriously and start prompt action to meet the demands.

Robinhood JAC calls 38-hr gen strike, boycotts MLA Biren

IMPHAL, July 27: The JAC formed inconnection to the death of class XI student Sapam Robinhood alias Thoi has imposed a 38-hour state-wide general strike with effect from 5 am

IMPHAL, July 27: The JAC formed inconnection to the death of class XI student Sapam Robinhood alias Thoi has imposed a 38-hour state-wide general strike with effect from 5 am of July 28 in condemnation of the alleged failure of the government to deliver justice to the death case despite taking much time and suspend the police personnel involved in the killing of the student.

Announcing the call of the strike in a statement, the JAC said religious procession, medical and media will be exempted from the purview of the strike.

It also decided to boycott MLA of Heingang Constituency N Biren indefinitely for misleading the people by making false promises that those police personnel involved in the killing of Robinhood will be surely suspended soon

Claiming that some individuals are seeking financial assistance from the people in the name of the JAC, it asked the concerned individuals to stop the unwarranted act immediately.

The unwarranted act has been detected at a time when the State is in turmoil over the demand for enactment of a fresh bill to check the incessant entry of non-locals, it said.

The concerned individuals should take sole responsibility if any untoward incident arises thereafter, the JAC cautioned.

It further appealed to the people to extend full support to the general strike by taking part in different forms of protest demonstrations during the course of the strike.

ILPS And Indigenous Peoples Rights: Manipur

By Khwairakpam Gajananda (PhD) DEFINITION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES: `Indigenous peoples are those which having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct

By Khwairakpam Gajananda (PhD)

DEFINITION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES:

`Indigenous peoples are those which having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct from other sectors of societies now prevailing in those territories, or parts of them. They form at present non-dominant sectors of society and are determined to preserve, develop, and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity, as the basis of their continued existence as peoples, in accordance with their own cultural patterns, social institutions and legal systems`, according to Martinez-Cobo, 1984, the United Nations Special Rapporteur to the Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities, Indigenous Communities, Peoples and Nations.

INTRODUCTION:

The indigenous peoples of the world is very diverse and is about 400 million with close to 5000 distinct tribes, which symbolize and nurture 80% of the world`™s cultural and biological diversity`”occupying 20% of the world`™s land surface. Indigenous Peoples play key roles in preserving land, environment, ecology, protecting language, promoting and preserving culture and tradition. Many of the World`™s Indigenous Peoples have already adapted to the paradigm shift and are adjusting to the technological and political changes. By respecting the nature, Indigenous Peoples are champions to the sustainable conservations of the environment.

Despite such extensive diversity in indigenous communities throughout the world, all Indigenous Peoples have one thing in common`”they all share a history of injustice. Indigenous Peoples have been killed, tortured and enslaved in all the livable continents. Many of them are the victims of genocide and are denied the rights to participate in governing processes of the political systems. The fundamental rights of self-determination, dignity and identity of indigenous peoples were stolen during the conquest and colonization.

The rights of Indigenous Peoples overlap with many other human rights; however, the important parts are not framed specifically but are part of more general treaties, like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

UNITED NATIONS (UN) DECLARATIONS AND CONVENTIONS:

(1) The Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (2001)

The Durban Declaration and Programme of Action (2001) for the first time recommended the UN to use the phrase `Indigenous Peoples` in all the documents rather than using the phrase `Indigenous People`. This carries a clear message to the World`™s populations that the `Indigenous Peoples`™ is not singular but plural!

(2) The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, March 2008

This declaration is the most comprehensive statement of the rights of Indigenous Peoples to date, establishing collective rights to a greater extent than any other document in international human rights law. It establishes the rights of Indigenous Peoples to the protection of their cultural property and identity as well as the rights to education, employment, health, religion, language and more. It also protects the right of Indigenous Peoples to own land collectively. Although, States are not legally bound by the Declaration, it exerted a considerable amount of moral force by the General Assembly. Consisting of 46 Articles, the draft Declaration is divided into nine parts. Some of the Articles of the Declarations are reproduced as follows:

Article 1:- Indigenous peoples have the right to the full enjoyment, as a collective or as individuals, of all human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognized in the Charter of the UN, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international human rights law.

Article 5:- Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions, while retaining their right to participate fully, if they so choose, in the political, economic, social and cultural life of the State.

Article 6:- Every indigenous individual has the right to a nationality.

Article 8:- 1. Indigenous peoples and individuals have the right not to be subjected to forced assimilation or destruction of their culture. 2. States shall provide effective mechanisms for prevention of, and redress for: (a) Any action which has the aim or effect of depriving them of their integrity as distinct peoples, or of their cultural values or ethnic identities; (b) Any action which has the aim or effect of dispossessing them of their lands, territories or resources; (c) Any form of forced population transfer, which has the aim or effect of violating or undermining any of their rights; (d) Any form of forced assimilation or integration; (e) Any form of propaganda designed to promote or incite racial or ethnic discrimination directed against them.

Article 13:- 1. Indigenous peoples have the right to revitalize, use, develop and transmit to future generations their histories, languages, oral traditions, philosophies, writing systems and literatures, and to designate and retain their own names for communities, places and persons. 2. States shall take effective measures to ensure that this right is protected and also to ensure that indigenous peoples can understand and be understood in political, legal and administrative proceedings, where necessary through the provision of interpretation or by other appropriate means.

Article 27:- States shall establish and implement, in conjunction with indigenous peoples concerned, a fair, independent, impartial, open and transparent process, giving due recognition to indigenous peoples`™ laws, traditions, customs and land tenure systems, to recognize and adjudicate the rights of indigenous peoples pertaining to their lands, territories and resources, including those which were traditionally owned or otherwise occupied or used. Indigenous peoples shall have the right to participate in this process.

Article 30:- 1. Military activities shall not take place in the lands or territories of indigenous peoples, unless justified by a relevant public interest or otherwise freely agreed with or requested by the indigenous peoples concerned. 2. States shall undertake effective consultations with the indigenous peoples concerned, through appropriate procedures and in particular through their representative institutions, prior to using their lands or territories for military activities.

Article 31:- 1. Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain, control, protect and develop their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions, as well as the manifestations of their sciences, technologies and cultures, including human and genetic resources, seeds, medicines, knowledge of the properties of fauna and flora, oral traditions, literatures, designs, sports and traditional games and visual and performing arts. They also have the right to maintain, control, protect and develop their intellectual property over such cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, and traditional cultural expressions. 2. In conjunction with indigenous peoples, States shall take effective measures to recognize and protect the exercise of these rights.

Article 36:- 1. Indigenous peoples, in particular those divided by international borders, have the right to maintain and develop contacts, relations and cooperation, including activities for spiritual, cultural, political, economic and social purposes, with their own members as well as other peoples across borders. 2. States, in consultation and cooperation with indigenous peoples, shall take effective measures to facilitate the exercise and ensure the implementation of this right.

(3) The Earth Summit, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 1992

The Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 1992 recognized the special relationship between Indigenous Peoples and their lands. Indigenous Peoples have a vital role in environmental management and development because of their traditional knowledge and practice. In order to fully make use of that knowledge, some Indigenous Peoples need greater control over their land, self-management of their resources and participation in development decisions affecting them (Agenda 21, Chapter 26.4). The Convention on Biological Diversity (1992), thus called upon its signatories to `respect, preserve and maintain knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional lifestyles relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and promote their wider application with the approval and involvement of the holders of such knowledge, innovations and practices and encourage the equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilization of such knowledge, innovations and practices”.

The objective of the biological diversity conservation of the UN-Earth Submit and consequently the aim of many Nations of the World is the universal phrase `Unity in Diversity`. Diversity indeed, included both hybridize and pure breed species. In this scenario, conservation of pure breed sustainably`”is more important and better than the hybridize one, in the long run. To avoid extinction, hybridization is the best strategy`”but at the cost of losing the precious pure breed `genetic pool`™. The problem is, in a population of a species, if a sub-species extinct, slowly the other surviving sub-species genes started getting into mutation phase, which has the high-probability of getting extinct due to various causes e.g. cancers, diseases, reproductive disorders, competitions, natural selections etc. Hence, it is pertinent to conserve Indigenous Peoples (pure breed) for a long chain of healthy genetic diversity and for our future generations. Here, we can take some examples of the World`™s Indigenous Peoples who are
currently preserved for their unique identities, cultures and traditions; they are viz. Inuit: Greenland, Northern Canada, Alaska; Sami: Northern Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia; Nuba: Sudan; Pygmy peoples: Central and Western Africa; Khoikhoi: South Africa; Tibetan people: Tibet; Karen: Burma and Thailand; Wa people: Burma and China`s Yunnan Province; Penan: Sarawak, Malaysia; Andalusians: Spain; Manx people: Great Britain; the Red Indian: USA; Occitans: France; Yolngu people: Arnhem Land, Australia; Fijian: Fiji; Itza: Mayan people of Guatemala; Mayo: Sonora, Mexico; Awá-Guajá: eastern Amazonian rainforest, Brazil; Yora: Amazon rainforest, southeast Peru etc.

(4) Declaration on the Rights of Persons belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities (1992)

This Declaration deals with all minorities, which includes many of the world`™s Indigenous Peoples. It only concerns individual rights, although collective rights might be derived from those individual rights. The Declaration deals both with States`™ obligations towards minorities as well as the rights of minority people. Topics that are dealt with include: the national or ethnic, cultural, religious or linguistic identity of minorities (Article 1); the free expression and development of culture; association of minorities amongst themselves; participation in decisions regarding the minority (Article 2); the exercise of minority rights, both individual and in groups (Article 3); and education of and about minorities (Article 4).

The UN bodies recognize that indigenous culture is directly linked to land, water and other resources and language. In this scenario, `Media`™ thus plays the vital role as a non-violent weapon to spread awareness/information within and without indigenous communities.

INDIAN CONSTITUTIONS

In India, there are about 461 ethnic groups, which are recognized as Scheduled Tribes (ST). They are considered to be India`™s Indigenous Peoples. The constitutions of India gives equal respect to all communities, sects, lingual and ethnic groups etc. in the country. The constitution also guarantees to all citizens the freedom of speech (Article 19), freedom of religion (Article 25), equality (Articles 14 to 17), liberty (Article 21), etc. India has several laws and constitutional provisions, such as the Fifth (5th) Schedule for mainland India and the Sixth (6th) Schedule for certain areas of North-east India, which recognize Indigenous Peoples`™ rights to land and self-governance. The laws aimed at protecting indigenous peoples have, however, numerous shortcomings and their implementation is far from satisfactory.

There are numerous indigenous people residing in the hills of Northern, North-Eastern and Southern India, Andaman & Nicobar Island, Himalayan regions of India etc. Some of the examples are: Bodo-Kachari: Assam (Bodoland), Arunachal Pradesh; Karbi: Assam; Khasi-Jaintia: Meghalaya, Assam; Mishmi people: Arunachal Pradesh; Nocte: Arunachal Pradesh; Mizo people: Mizoram; Naga: Nagaland; Tripuri (Borok): Tripura; Ladakhi: Jammu and Kashmir; Andamanese: Andaman Islands; Jangil (Rutland Jarawa): now extinct, formerly of Rutland Island, Andamans; Onge: Little Andaman; Nicobarese people (Holchu): Nicobar Islands, India; Shompen: Nicobar Islands, India; Bhutia: Sikkim; Kota: Nilgiris etc.

Lahual and Spiti, Himachal Pradesh has strict rules for non-native people to reside or buy land or plot. Foreigners are being permitted to visit the restricted/protected areas by the authorities specified under Section 3 of the Foreigners (Protected Areas) Order 1958 by the State Government of Himachal Pradesh. Similarly, in Ladakh since May 1, 2014, Indian Nationals or Tourists need to present valid Photo ID, Nationality Proof at the Indo Tibetan Border Police or Army check-posts. However, all foreign nationals need to apply for PAP (Protect Area Permits) in a group of two or more through a registered travel agent in Leh. Acquiring PAP, allow foreigners to visit the restricted areas in Ladakh of Nubra Valley, Tso Moriri, Pangong Tso, and Dah`“Hanu Villages. The States of Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland and Nicobar Islands have similar types of ILPS imposed in their respective States. The aspirations to protect/preserved Indigenous Peoples of Indian States such as Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Odisha, Sikkim, Telangana, Uttaranchal, West Bengal and other hills regions of India are gaining momentum, because most of the ethnic minority groups believed that over the time they are slowly becoming minorities in their own homeland.

The Constitutions of India, Article 19 (D) & (E) allows all the citizens to move freely throughout the territory of India and to reside and settle in any part of the territory of India, however, sub-clause (5) emphasizes that the State can impose reasonable restrictions on the exercise of any of the rights conferred by the said sub-clauses (D & E) for the protection of the interests of any indigenous community. In Manipur, the said sub-clause of the article has been violated. There is no provision to protect the Indigenous Tribal Peoples`”those who mainly reside in the four valleys districts of Manipur, whose populations, land and cultural identities are day-by-day diminishing. Thus, it is high-time for the State and Central Government to conserve/preserve the indigenous peoples of Manipur, before it is too late!

MANIPUR AND INNER LINE PERMIT SYSTEMS (ILPS)

Manipur comprises of complex set of indigenous Scheduled Castes (SC); Scheduled Tribes (ST) and General categories communities. The tribal Kukis and Nagas dominated the hilly areas, which is about 90% of the land (20089 km2) of Manipur. These two ethnic communities have very closed affinity with Meetei (General and OBC Categories) and shared historically, socially, culturally, economically and demographically`”since thousands of years.

Manipur Land Revenue and Land Reforms (MLR & LR) Act 1960 provide protections of indigenous tribal lands of Manipur in the five Hills Districts of Manipur, which is again strengthened with the recently held Autonomous District Council (ADC) elections and the proposed 6th Schedule to be implemented there. However, the porous Myanmar border provided safe-haven for foreigners to infiltrate in many districts of Manipur e.g. Churachandpur, Chandel and Ukhrul. The very close affinities to the ethnicity, languages and traditions of many Manipuri tribal and the Myanmarese people generally helped the latter to migrate and settle in many parts of Manipur`”without proper documents or verifications. The Acts and Laws thus provided for Manipuri`™s are toothless and are compromised at the cost of the original Manipuri tribal`™s socio-economy, natural resources, land, culture and traditions.

On the other hand, the `Meeteis`™, original ethnic Manipuri people residing mainly in the four valley districts (only 10% or 2238 km2 of the total geographical areas of Manipur) are day by day marginalized due to the pressures from various angles. The general populations of Meeteis are regarded as General Category with small sections of the community coming under Scheduled Caste (SC) and after the introductions of Other Backward Classes (OBC) insignificant numbers of socio-economically backward families were included in OBC categories by the Indian Union.

The history of Meeteis can be trace back to 33 AD, which is very distinct and thousands of years old language and folklores`”found both orally and in written. Culturally, Meeteis can be regarded as one of the community, which has the richest cultures in the World. Indisputably, Meetei with distinct culture, tradition and language can be regarded as true indigenous community as per UN declarations, thus should be protected under the Constitutions of India.

Some of the points that seriously threaten the valley dwelling peoples and their lands in the four districts of Manipur are: 1. The four districts of Manipur is open for any Indian Citizen to purchase or reside, thus the land areas of Meeteis and Tribal are shrinking considerably since Indian independence. 2. Hybridizations due to migrations and immigrations seriously altered the genetic pools of the Indigenous Peoples in valley districts. 3. Dilutions and adulterations of cultures, traditions and languages during last three-four centuries and the significant socio-economic alterations after the merger of Manipur to the Indian Union, will slowly bring the Meetei community to minority level in their own homeland. 4. Though the present population growth rate of Manipur is about 18%, which is more than the national average`”it is believed that the rate is mainly due to immense migrations of non-indigenous communities, foreigners such as Bangladeshi, Myanmarese, Nepalis etc. 5. In Manipur, there is no provision to protect the ST and SC communities who are presently residing in many small pockets of the valley districts and 6. Trans-boundaries subversive activities, thus arise in Manipur can be directly or indirectly linked with our inappropriate plans, policies, programs or legislative actions, which does not provide comprehensive protections for the Indigenous Peoples of Manipur.

The present mass actions taken up by the people of Manipur to introduce ILPS can be regarded as visionaries`™ decisions to safeguard the unique traditions, cultures, languages, lands, natural resources, ecology, biodiversity and environment of Manipur. The political and government wills to protect and safeguard its own subjects, therefore, will give better impetus to bring peace and harmony to the State and to the Nation.

JCILPS Students` Wing endorses gen strike call

Students of Khongman area took out a rally, Monday demanding introduction of the ILPS or a similar law and to suspend the personnel involved in the death of Late Robinhood.

Students of Khongman area took out a rally, Monday demanding introduction of the ILPS or a similar law and to suspend the personnel involved in the death of Late Robinhood.

IMPHAL, July 27: Stating that the act of delaying in initiating judicial inquiry into the death of Sapam Robinhood will only invite wrath of the public, the Joint Committee on Inner Line Permit System Students`™ Wing has set July 30 as the last deadline for unconditional release of the seven students`™ leaders who were arrested by police for taking part in ILPS agitation.

A statement signed by its media co-ordinator Bijandro Yumkhaibam, declared that it fully endorsed the proposed 38-hour general strike called by the Robinhood JAC.

The students`™ leaders were arrested from different places by police during the ongoing ILPS movement, it said.

Despite asking the government repeatedly to release all of them unconditionally, the same has not been done till date, which is against the student community, it said.

Some MLAs and ministers are trying to fool public by saying that no one has been arrested by police in connection with the ILPS agitation, which will not succeed at all, it added.

The Students`™ Wing, in the statement also expressed gratitude to the auto-rickshaw`™s associations for staging protest demonstrations today by staying off the road in solidarity to the collective demand for enactment of a new bill to monitor the rampant influx of outsiders into the State.
