IMPHAL, November 29: Surindra Rajabhat University, SRRU, Surin, Thailand and Manipur University (MU), Canchipur, have jointly organised an international conference on the topic “Thailand and North East India: Issues on Sustainable Development” today at the Lecture Hall 1 of MIMS, Manipur University.

Presided over by Vice Chancellor, MU Prof H Nandakumar Sarma the function was also attended by president PhD Programme and president Surin International Folklore Foundation, SRRU Dr Achara Phanurat, as chief guest.

During the first session of the conference, Dr Achara Phanurat presented her paper entitled “The report on the study of Monk-Doctor-Teacher: Cultural Dynamic for Peace on Border of Thailand-Cambodia”.

The crisis between the border of Thailand and Cambodia is a prolonged crisis and running for more than 200 years. The governments of the 2 countries could not arrive at a solution for the problem, she said.

She stressed that the research aimed to study about ideas and actions of monk, doctor and teacher. According to the study, giving importance to monk-doctor-teacher would help to narrow a gap between the 2 nation-states and help to decelerate conflicts on physical conditions, politics, and business. This will lead to a rehabilitation of peace along the border of Thailand and Cambodia finally.

Prof N Lokendra Singh gave his speech on the topic “Meitei-Tai linkages”. He said 98% of the state is linked to international boundaries. During 1935-36, a British, Pemberton translated the San chronicle with the help of local people under the title “military expedition to Manipur and going back to own kingdom”. 

The language spoken by the people of Khurkhul during 1950s is the San language, which can be understood by Ahoms, he said.

“Now they have forgotten the language. As per the book written by Terwin, when a Meitei child is born the placenta is cut by the sharp edge of a bamboo. On the sixth day the child is kept in a covering made of bamboo to perform the ritual which resembles the present day Swasti Puja”, he said.

He further said in Willock’s book titled “Custom of Meiteis”, when a child falls down “thawai-mee kouba” practice is done.

In Cheitharol Kumbaba, Kiyamba was given some relic by a San King supposed to be a personal kind of a God. The photographs of the relic were very similar to Asian deities. There are number of evidences to show the resemblance between Meitei and Tai.

Prof Amar Yumnam and Prof Th Ratankumar Singh of MU also presented their respective papers. During the second session, Prof W Nabakumar Singh, MU; Prof Suwit Threerasasawat, Kon Kaen University, Thailand; Dr Chalong Suktong, SRRU; and Dr L Jibon Kumar Sharma, MU presented their respective papers.

SENAPATI, Nov 29 (NNN): The Naga People’s Organization (NPO) has joined other Naga civil organizations in Manipur to voice against the Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC) projected map.

The apex Naga body of Senapati district has termed the claim of the KSDC as `unacceptable and fabricated`. The NPO has asked the Kuki organization to immediately withdraw the map to prevent confusing among the general public. “Defining and demarcating its boundary without any historical fact are disturbing and provoking. Moreover, claiming its rights over the land which are within the ownership of the Nagas is all the more resenting and immature from the part of the KSDC. Therefore, it is advised that, the KSDC ceases to project all artificial claims for public interest and communal harmony,” the NPO advises. “The Nagas in Senapati district since time immemorial have been defending its ancestral identity, land and resources, it will continue to do so if asked for”, it asserted. While respecting the genuine aspirations and movement of KSDC for a separate administration, it should be clear to all, that the Nagas will not part any inch of its ancestral land. Making tall claims without any ownership and historical base will only hamper the pursue for peaceful co-existence of different communities. The NPO advised the KSDC to be instead aware of anti-tribal forces within the State government that seek to jeopardize the peaceful movement of resolving tribal issues in Manipur.

Hitting out at organisations based in the valley the NPO said that commenting on the Nagas and Kukis movements through ethnic lines and past records, such organizations have been instrumental only in inciting communal tension rather than bridging the gap between the difference of tribals and the State Government. The NPO endorses the decision of the UNC for Alternative Arrangement through a peaceful parting with the majority community. It has become inevitable and imminent, it added and said that harmony among the brothers can be achieved with.

“Moreover, the step-motherly attitude of the State Government towards the tribal movement is obvious and visible by past and recent policies in the form of endorsing the communal voice of the valley based organizations which claims to defend the integrity of the state while the  tribals are neglected, discriminated and repressed everyday,” the NPO said.
