Cho is no more and we have lost a precious member of our community. The satirists and applesauce writers of the world pay our deepest heartfelt condolence to ourselves in this moment of grief. It is a humongous lost for all of us. When a political leader passes away all the politicians across party lines pay their last respect and tribute to the departed. My goodness! It was amazing to see the lavish coverage of the death of a legendary lady of Poes Garden. Whenever you switch on news channels, all of them carried the same.

Every street is my Shelter

I was born a few years ago.
Not many years have passed by, being on earth.
Neither do I know how I was born.
Nor if it made my mother happy.
Sometimes, I feel I am a burden to her.
Every street is my home since I was born.

I was born a few years ago.
Not many years have passed by, being on earth.
Neither do I know how I was born.
Nor if it made my mother happy.
Sometimes, I feel I am a burden to her.
Every street is my home since I was born.
I sleep in the corners and on the hard cement bed.

Mountain cultures: Celebrating diversity and strengthening identity

We have been seeing hills and mountains. Though we see more hills around us there are mountains too. A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. High elevations on mountains produce colder climates than at sea level. Because of the less hospitable terrain and climate, mountains tend to be used less for agriculture and more for resource extraction and recreation, such as mountain climbing.

Why is new Indian army chief still in abeyance?

With less than three weeks for the current incumbent to retire from service, the India government has still not appointed the new Chief of the 1.4 million strong Indian Army. The government claims it does not want alternate power centres. Certain other sources feel that a long pending demand for a Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) is being considered, and the delay is due the decision in this regard. A third school of thought revolves around the internecine struggle for power within the army itself.

NPMHR oberves International Human Rights Day

DIMAPUR, Dec 10: The Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR) has said today that one of the deeper concerns that human rights movements and defenders are now faced with in today’s contemporary world is the increasing shrinking space of democracy everywhere. According to the NPMHR, the recent arrest and detention of “human rights defenders”, such as the leaders of the United Naga Council (UNC) President Gaidon Kamei and its publicity secretary SK Stephen by Manipur Police is another grave example of shrinking space of democracy and the growing intolerance of states against democratic expressions of its citizens.
