Press Release

06-Dec-2011, London:

The European Manipuri Association is shocked and concerned with the recent bomb blast at Hapta Kangjeibung, Imphal, a congested public area, killing an innocent rickshaw driver and injuring civilians on the fate full day of 30th Nov 2011.

EMA members are also anguished and deeply concerned at the lethargic and poor response from the emergency service to such an unfortunate incident. The manner, in which a grievously injured, nearly dead victim was handled by the security and the rescue team, choosing to question the victim instead of rushing to hospital, does not conform to the required standard of human dignity at all. This reflects the degradation of human values and respect of life in our society today.

We at EMA would like to see the government authorities, the local police and the hospital emergency departments as be the most responsible and highly professional teams who can execute their professional duty in the most considerate manner, in order to bring back respect from the community.

Further, EMA also expresses its concern regarding the media coverage of the incident. A lot of our members have expressed a deep sense of revulsion and shock, looking at the picture of the badly mutilated and helpless victim.

We feel that showing such gruesome images is not only insensitive to the families and dear ones of the victim but also to the viewers. As adults and responsible citizens of our society we have an obligation to not expose our children and young people to such disturbing images as it can have a long lasting psychological impact on them and their outlook to violence and crime.

We therefore appeal to the media fraternity to exercise utmost care and restraint while publishing such disturbing images and to be more sensitive to the feelings of the families and loved ones of the victims.

EMA salutes to all the ordinary Manipuris who showed their resilience and further determination not to get swayed by the blast, but made the Sangai Festival a success.

Lastly, we, at European Manipuri Association share the grief and pain with the family members of the victims of the unfortunate incident.

05-Dec-2011, London:

European Manipuri association would like to thank and appreciate everyone who have help in making the initial implementation of ‘blooming Manipur ‘ Project an inspiring success.

We are very thankful to the government of Manipur who have all the way supported and given the necessary permission.

Ema Keithel, the 300 year old traditional and ingenious women’s market of Manipur, which centers right in the heart of the state, continues to inspire many people across the world especially with it being the largest only-women market in the world, the symbol of empowerment of the woman, the place where the woman of Manipur rose against the might of the British Empire.

We would like to share our words of gratitude again to Respected Ema and Ebens who have given us the opportunity to be associated in some ways with this historic place of the world.

As part of the blooming Manipur project, EMA along with our kind and ever helpful volunteers would like to share as a gift, the ‘flower basket’ that has been installed across the wall of our historic Ema Keithel to our Ema and Ebens as part of our first phase of ‘Blooming Manipur ‘.

We would like to share our sincere words of gratitude to Mr. Elangbam Satyajit, Mr. Khumanthem Khelen, Mr. Laishram Pari, Mr. RK Robindro, Mr. Haobijam Surjit, Mr. Wangkheirakpam Ramananda and Mr. James Vaiphei, the wonderful organizing team at Manipur, who not only shared our common vision of Blooming Manipur but have put in every effort for this project to become an inspiring concept.

Blooming Manipur is inspired by the Britain in bloom concept, a campaign which has made Britain one of the most beautiful island Nations .And beyond the beautiful flowers and gardens of Britain, the campaign has done wonders for community cohesion. The campaign has managed to get communities to participate in keeping the towns and cities beautiful, increasing civic sense of pride and truly creating a sense of belongingness to their streets and neighborhoods.

EMA is hoping to make ‘Blooming Manipur’, a campaign beyond a Beautiful Keithel with Beautiful flowers!

With our beloved Emas/Eben and our selfless volunteers, we would give our best efforts to make significant changes with small steps with the help of the beautiful flowers of Manipur and develop this wonderful trading place into the 300 year old charming historical place it deserves to be.

We are very thankful to our beloved Ema and Ebens who have kindly agreed to help in nurturing and maintaining these beautiful flowers, thus fulfilling one of our main aims of encouraging local community participation and working towards a common shared aim to make this blooming Manipur project successful

We believed shared activities such as daily watering and pruning would bring our Ema/Ebens even more together. It would also be an opportunity for our volunteers and members of EMA to interact and understand our Ema/Eben’s indomitable spirit.

Just like what Britain in bloom has done for the British public, we believe these beautiful flowers and the hopefully positive impact they will make will help in improving the appearance and therefore transmit positive vibes in the immediate vicinity allowing a connection to the lost natural environment.

We believe the beautiful displays have truly given life and colour to this part of the street of Ema keithel and we hope visitors would have the same vastly increased sense of pride felt by us.

We at EMA hope blooming Manipur will help the people to re-evaluate their relationship with the city and realise that through small efforts, it is actually possible to exert some very favorable control over the shape of our neighbourhood.

We would like to share a report on Britain in bloom prepared by the Royal British horticulture society to the chairperson of Manipur planning commission, commissioner of MAHUD and respected Journalist of Manipur and request to consider the feasibility of such a campaign in Manipur.

http://www.rhs.org.uk/Gardening/Community-gardening/pdf/Britain-in-Bloom-Impact-Report

We would like to encourage our local traders, business premises and others with premises in the town to consider providing hanging baskets, window boxes and planters etc and encourage local residents to work together to brighten up their area through gardening and other environmental improvements.

We would to request our civil society and concerned governmental bodies to work towards bringing communities together to create stunning streets filled with seasonal plants and flowers and change the landscape of our streets forever.

Regards,

Tiken Laishram

INVITATION
TO JOIN ONE DAY SOLIDARITY FAST ON 10TH DECEMBER
IN SUPPORT OF IROM SHARMILA
RAJGHAT, 10 DECEMBER, 09 AM TO 05 PM

Dear Friends,

As you are aware that NAPM and many other civil society organisations have Initiated a campaign ” SAVE SHARMILA SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN” to put forward the cause of Irom Sharmila at the centre stage of politics.

Irom Sharmila has been fasting for 11 years in Manipur against AFSPA ( Armed forces special powers act).

The AFSPA calls for an autocratic and unchecked rule by the army. In the name of ‘protecting the law and order’, anyone can be arrested or shot. It has led to extra-judicial killings, illegal detentions, fake encounters, rapes and torture of the civilian population.

The campaign has already organized various activities in various cities of India such as candle light vigils, public meetings, documentary screening and recently the Srinagar-Imphal Save Sharmila Jan Karwan which has created a big buzz in the eyes of the public.
(Jan Karawan news link: http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/other-states/article2573676.ece)

The campaign has also launched a Nationwide Signature Drive in many states on 2nd October 2011.(Signature campaign news link: http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-09-04/guwahati/30112277_1_signature-campaign-konpal-kongkham-leikai-irom-sharmila; http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2506988.ece?css=print)

The signature campaign is going to culminate at Rajghat on 10th December 2011 with a one day solidarity fast (on 10th December) by women activists (alongwith students and other activists) in support and solidarity of Irom Sharmila and such other struggles in this country. 10th December being International human rights day, we have chosen this day to organise this event.

On behalf of ” Save Sharmila Solidarity Campaign” we invite you to join the fast at RAJGHAT, New Delhi on the 10th of December 2011. Please do join the fast . Your presence will give boost to the cause of Irom sharmila . Since, we have no political support nor is it any specific NGO sponsored campaign, we require help in terms of resources and funds also to organise such a major event. Do let us know, if there is any way you can help us out.

We request you to send your confirmation to join this one day fast or just make your support and presence felt by coming and be a part of this movement.

( On behalf of Save Sharmila Solidarity Campaign, eminent activists who have confirmed their presence for the one day long fast on 10th December are Medha Patkar,Shabnam Hashmi,Kamla Bhasin,Richa Singh ,Sheba Chhachhi,Anuradha Talwar,Prof. Nandini Sundar,Manisha Gupte, Arundhati Dhruv, Famous writer Uday Prakash and many more will be confirming. )

Kuki Worship Service London – 4th Anniversary Celebration at Bournemouth Beach

After much deliberation and earnest prayer, on Saturday 9th July 2011 KWS London went for an outing to Bournemouth, marking its 4th Anniversary of the fellowship (2007-2011) in an awesome outdoor family-friendly model.

The weather was excellent, and it was a great day to get to know others, have fund, food and fellowship. As highlighted beforehand, a Coach was hired for transportation. Altogether over 25+ people were on board, joining the day out. The team set off from London around 9.30 am and reached Bournemouth (the final destination) at 11.30 am.

The KWS committee-having truly felt the essential aspect of development in the areas of physical and social for spiritual growth and wellbeing, this trip was especially designed for an out-door. In fact, needless to mention though, in a Mega-City like London everybody seems to be leading a hectic lives handing various commitments relating to work, school, and family. All these seem to occupy and engaged people’s entire day with no time for “get-together to socialize”. This outing offered a brilliant opportunity to socialize, vent out some stress, also provided a sense of peace and recreation for all.

On reaching the amazing targeted spot, everyone had an incredible moment! The place was a lovely sandy beach with stunning views of the Isle of Wight. Some played sand football, some strolling along seaside enjoying the miles of breath-taking coast line, whilst others were seating cool on a deckchair seeping wonderful drink and chatting to people around.
Before lunch period foods & drinks bought together were kept on a portable table with an appropriate cover to protect from unnecessary contamination.

A buffet lunch was served at 1.30 pm. The recipe includes Kebab, traditional Mepoh, Ngari-Singju and many more, which everyone enjoyed! This was followed by a brief photograph session. Later in the afternoon, unable to resist the temptation of the amazing sea, some KWS folks grabbed the opportunity to swim in the sea, also played on the sandy beach creating a crazy art on the sand, adding spice to the event.

At the fake end of all the activities Canon Dr David Haokip led a brief reflection session, which was concluded in prayer by Revd. Zamhao Haokip. This was followed by much awaited “Lengkhom” inside the Coach led by Mr. Daniel Haokip, Johnny Haolai, Robert Vaiphei and Nengpi Haokip keeping the trip very lively all the way until we reached back home. One of our colleagues Mr. Rickky Vaiphei said “Today is one of my happiest days ever!” Indeed, without a shadow of a doubt it was truly an enriching experience. Everyone had a blessed time, fun and fellowship, forging new relationships with the newcomers!

KWS London committee would like say a big “Thank You” to everyone for coming along to the outing and making it such a marvelous day out. Also, we extend our sincere thanks to all who constantly supports our effort through prayer.

KWS fellowship: There will be no fellowship for the month of August, however-hope to see you all in the up-coming KUT festival.

The next KWS fellowship is expected to be held on the second Sunday of September. Further details will be sent out nearer to the date.

Dear Fellow Indians,

We are sportspersons who love to play our sport and bring smiles to our people. We play as ‘India’ and we play for the pride of our countrymen. There can be nothing bigger an award for us than people cheering at our every move and pray for a win every time we play.

We believe that the sportspersons and common people ooze the tears of happiness and sorrow together. We are from this beautiful part of India, popularly known as North East. We are simple people smiling our way to achieve our simple dreams. We love to play and win. We love to smile and show to the world how wonderful this corner of the earth is. But, alas, it is not the case always!

As much as we have enjoyed the privilege of representing you in various international platforms, today we are very saddened at what is repeatedly going on in our beloved and beautiful state of Manipur. The common people have been struggling everyday for basic amenities of life. The four month long economic blockade and resultant deadlock have affected the normal life of every common man of this part of the country.

It’s sad to see this great nation giving a deaf ear while lakhs of its citizens in one of the most vibrant states – Manipur have been suffering under the dark shadow of the economic blockade for more than 120 days. It’s painful to see no conclusive action from any of the responsible quarters for over 4 months when the people of Manipur were made to struggle for basic essential items, life saving drugs and many more.

It’s same state which has produced some of the best sportspersons for this country who have brought laurels to the nation at international platforms; it’s the same state which has given some of the best performing art forms and artistes to the nation.

Today, they need your support. They need support from everyone to put an end to the sufferings and help them live a normal life.

We appeal to everyone to restrain from using economic blockade or other such extreme modes of protest on humanitarian grounds and find a solution through democratic way. At the same time, we appeal to our fellow countrymen and the people’s representatives to join hands and help bring back Manipur on the growth path and make it an integral part of the development of our nation.

Let us, the people of this country, work towards rebuilding the jewel of India.

We hope that our honourable prime minister will sow the seeds of peace and lay the foundation of a prosperous Manipur when he visits the state on 3rd December, 2011.

Hopefully,

Ahemdabad (Sabarmati Ashram) – Srinagar (Hazratbal) Save Sharmila Jattha

From 23 November to 04 December (12 DAYS 10 STATES)

After receiving an overwhelmed support, responses, wishes for Srinagar Imphal Save Sharmila Jan Karwan, it is decided by the campaign to start the next phase of karwan in the form of Jattha to meet the objective of the campaign, that is, to spread awareness among people of non victim states (states where AFSPA is not imposed) and to stengthen nationwide signature campaign which is already running by the campaign.This next phase will be an effort to cover other states that were not covered during Srinagar-Imphal Jan karwan.

This was the first time when any such journey (Srinagar to Imphal Jan Karwan) organized for the cause of AFSPA and covered various states of India to raise the voice of NE states and J&K. This karwan created an atmosphere and people of all states along with media supported the cause.

Save Sharmila Solidarity Campaign believes that non violence should not be ignored. The campaign has become involved in creating a positive atmosphere of talk to bring out a solution for NE states and J&K for repeal of AFSPA. Through this solidarity Campaign, we express our solidarity towards people of NE states and J&K. Irom has become a symbol of peace and non violence through her fast. We are followers of non violence and peace and thus we support Irom through this Solidarity Campaign which is based on humanity, peace, justice and democracy.

The campaign decided to start its 12 day Ahemdabad- Srinagar journey in which a Jattha (small group) of activists will start its journey from the land of Gandhi, Sabarmati Ashram, Ahemdabad and will culminate its journey at the Hazratbal, Srinagar. On one side, where starting point is known for its lessons of non violence and peace, the culminating point , Hazratbal, that is a symbol of love, harmony and spiritualism. Besides it, Hazratbal was the same place from where the previous journey (karwan) was started (on 16th October) for the same cause.

This Jattha will travel along 10 states to create the public opinion and to get support through public meetings, pamphlets distribution, press meet, road march etc for the demands of campaign.

Schedule is given below:

Starting:

Jattha will start its journey on 23 NOV at 03:00 PM from Sabarmati Ashram after ”all religious prayer” and oath to promote non violence, peace and justice.

Kadam 3 is a national mega discoverability awareness raising campaign , an initiative of National Trust of India organized in Manipur by Spastic Society of Manipur with support of Government of Manipur

Spastic Society of Manipur had organized the Badhte Kadam 2 in November 2010, with support from the State Govt. of Manipur and Assam Rifles and had bagged the Best State Award for the Best Campaign 2010 due to its professional and innovative approach.
This year Badhte Kadam 3 is scheduled from 14th Nov-3rd Dec. 2011 in 7 districts of Manipur in regions not covered before including Tamenlong, Sugnu & Moreh . The theme is “Get involved, Share a few moments of your life with us “.Also we are to launch MARUP (friends club for disabled persons ) in Manipur with the aim of creating a network of persons who will volunteer to educate, entertain and empower persons with disabilities in the state.
With the vision that “No disabled person is left alone and neglected in the society” and a mission to create a network of friends all over the State to achieve inclusion and community participation of persons with disabilities the Badhte kadam team will visit schools and colleges in seven districts and conduct awareness programmes with games, quiz show, talent show ,poster and photo exhibition .

MARUP is a network of non disabled persons who volunteered to be friends of the disabled persons in the community and contribute some time and energy whenever possible to be with them, entertain them, share experiences with them, aid them in activities of daily living ,livelihoods, advocate and provide non formal educational activities and physical support to the disabled persons and the family members in whatever capacity they can voluntarily without desire of personal financial gains.
Many people with disabilities continue to lack connections beyond their relationships with their families and other people in the human service settings they attend. This reflects a history of discrimination against people with disabilities which is expressed in multiple barriers to social integration.

To truly integrate them in the society they need to have a good, diverse social networks with positive involvement of non disabled persons in all aspects of life.

Through Badhte Kadam , we want to create awakening in the society especially to the students regarding our changing lifestyles that causes disabilities and that they also have duties and responsibilities towards their fellow men who are less fortunate and together we can help them live a life of dignity and happiness.
