Mindset of the people, sick and inefficient traffic control police personnel, ineffective Imphal Municipal Corporation, unplanned roads, concentrating everything at Paona Keithel, Thangal Keithel, MG Avenue, BT Road and here is the prefect recipe for the traffic circus that one sees in the heart of Imphal on a daily basis. This brings one to the question of what has happened to the order of the Transport Department that no parking of vehicles will be allowed at Khwairamband.

India’s poor show at Olympics – China has the answer

While the Indian media is beating behind the bush or deliberately remaining numb, the Chinese state media had already listed out the reasons it believes are behind the poor show of India in every Olympics and most particularly the recently concluded one at Rio. These are: lack of infrastructure, poor health, poverty, girls not being allowed to participate in sports, boys being coaxed into becoming doctors and engineers, the popularity of cricket over other sports, India’s fading hockey glory and lack of information about the Olympics in rural areas.

Being human towards animals

Mahatma Gandhi famously said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Looking at the defunct laws against animal cruelty in the country, it seems like we have failed him, and the nation, miserably.

Customary law on murder cases of the Zeliangrongs

Ancient people believed that their laws came from the gods; the Cretans, the Lacedaemonians, the Romans and the Etruscans had attributed their laws to Jupiter, Apollo, the goddess Egeria and the god Tages respectively. The laws long did remain holy and even at the time when the vote of a people might make a law, it was still required that at least the consent of religion should be obtained. Plato said “To obey the laws is to obey the gods.”
