[We met Professor Nahendra Padun on December 3,2011 last at Pasighat in Donyi Polo Yelam Kébang(DPYK) meet.The DPYK celebrated its silver jubilee year commemorating revival of Donyi Polo faith by religious guru Talom Rukbo with three days programmes at Pasighat of Arunachal Pradesh.Prof Padun was invited as an honourable guest at this celebration.We had an interview with Prof Padun on the same day in between his busy schedules.Prof Padun is a highly revered person of Mising people’s language and culture,we don’t need a new introduction for him at length.Along with Prof Tabu Taid ,he went to organized the first ever Mising Agom Kébang(MAK) meet at Disangmukh,Sibsagar,Assam in 1972.He has written several articles and books on Mising language and culture.We spoke to him for almost fifty minutes.We publish here below an excerpts from our talks with Prof Padun.]

Few days ago ,people like Bhrigumoni Kagyung,Chandra Kanta Lachan passed away,why only Mising people came out?We were the one who made them grew as big personalities,recently when Bhupen Hazarika died, numbers of people turned out,why can’t we make a national figure of our own in this way?Now,you know Nahendra Padun because he goes with literary body but you are ignorance of what he has worked.No Mising youth can tell how many books has Nahendra Padun written so far.There are youths other than Mising who come to me for research but not Mising youth.Due to these attitudes the language hasn’t developed as we have expected.There are stories,poems in the language now a days but we must also think of the standard of these writings.To identify these things,we must have regular newspapers,magazines but unfortunately we don’t have even that;these tasks should be carried out by the new generation.Although I was financially poor, sometimes even without salary,I run the ‘Lutad’ newspaper for six years alone.Whyn't persons with this sort of courage come forward?]

[It is not that only the Tani languages are decreasing,there are several languages ailing in this world.This is also because we have no affection towards our community.Why can’t we do like the Bodos?In 1983-84,during the times of Bodo language movement in a meeting at Judges’ Field,Guwahati, Pronoy Mushahary spoke in Bangla language.They took oath to speak only in Bodo language from that day onwards.We don’t have such thing that we’ll speak the Mising language from today onwards.In 1971,TSJ Sun did his research on Tani language to whom I referred to.There are not many speakers of Milang language but neither they let it to die down nor they let it others to know,it is alive hitherto.From these,the American researchers have found that Milang is an endangered language today.How much do we speak Mising language when we meet?We shouldn’t dislike Assamese language but even then when we go on talking on our language we should speak in our own.When our people meet,our people doesn’t speak own tongue;neither they speak correct non-Mising language.We are killing our own language.We must deeply ponder ourselves,”Let’s speak only Mising language”.]

A recent case study conducted in Majuli on the impact of climate change on livelihood said that the communities inhabiting the largest mid-river deltaic island of the Brahmaputra were vulnerable to climate change .Agriculture being the main source of livelihood,there are solid evidences that the people are facing increasing difficulties to eke out their living as island’s landmass is slowly disappearing couple with floods and erosions due to variation in climate over the years.

The study was carried out in early part of 2011 by Mg Bhupen Mili,an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT-G) as a part of his Masters’ Dissertation,who is now engaged in the study of climate change in Northeastern region of India,in three tribal villages of the riverine island.The study was conducted with household survey along with questionnaire and focus group discussions with the island communities in three villages namely Pomua,Kumarbari and Jengrai Chapori.Out of the total population of 1,53,362 in the island according to 2001 census,a number of 45,722 comprising 29.81 per cent of the total population constitute the total workforce of which 80.85 percent belongs to the farmers and another 2.05 per cent agricultural labourer.People engaged in other occupation are very low.Agriculture is the main occupation of the people represented by 90 per cent in Kumarbari and 93 per cent in both Pomua and Jengra Chapori as per the study.However,there are small percentage of people ,that is not more than 10 per cent,who are engaged in services,fishing and livestock rearing.

Farmers experience change in agriculture pattern due to climate change

The farmers in all the villages have experience a change in their agricultural pattern on their land in the past few years.In Pomua,Jengrai Chapori and Kumarbari villages maximum percentage of respondents,who experienced change in agricultural pattern,own 0.5-1 hectares,above 2.0 hectares ,and 1.0-2.0 hectares and above 2.0 hectare of agricultural land.Whereas,least percentage of respondents,who experienced change in agriculture pattern,own 0.5 hectares of agriculture land in all three villages.Most of the respondents feel that the rainfall has decreased and a very small percentage observed that the rainfall has not increased or has not change in the past years.The rainfall data obtained from India Meteorogical Department(IMD) also confirmed the farmers’ experiences that rainfall has increased during the monsoon season while it has decreased during winter,pre-monsoon, and post-monsoon season.All the respondents witnessed the loss of property and crops as a result of floods in the villages,they confirmed the occurrence of major floods in 1998,2007, and 2008.In addition,they have experienced erosion and siltation of their agriculture to a large extent,least impact was in Jengrai Chapori(41%) and most was in Kumarbari(63%),in Pomua,on an average 54% of the respondents are affected by erosion and siltation.Flooding,erosion and siltation hampers the growth in agriculture output in turn impacting the income of the household from agriculture.Therefore,employment opportunity diversification is central to raise their economic status and enhance their adaptive capacity.Approximately 82-89% of respondents in the three villages feel that climate change has significant impact on the lives of the people,and their livelihoods.There has been increase in diseases in the population like diarrhoea,dysentery,jaundice etc.

Farmers to labours,migration to other states, and poors not benefitted from government schemes

Mg Bhupen Mili also added that the study has revealed that migration is prevalent in the villages and the prime reasons are lack of employment opportunity,better employment opportunity elsewhere and poverty.People generally migrate to other states like Kerala,Maharashtra,Karnataka etc.The study also significantly pointed out that most of the worst affected people who are on the edge belongs to the Mising tribe as their land have disappeared,so they have transformed from farmers to labourers.Their farming lifestyle is seriously threatened.Many of these communities are living in dire conditions.The study also revealed that the people were aware of government schemes being implemented in the villages but none were able to name the scheme.Over 80 per cent of the respondents in the villages echoed this opinion.The villagers were aware of provisions included in the scheme such as tractors,pump sets,seeds,training etc.Least number of beneficiaries were from Pomua village and most benefited were from Jengrai Chapori.The study shows that the number of beneficiaries are relatively from large land holding households those who have above 2.0 hectares compared to lesser land size below 0.5 hectare.This clearly suggest that poorer farmers are not benefitting from the government schemes as intended.

The island is also home to number of bird species.Photo:Juri Pegu Schmidt Soltau

The Majuli island is a unique geographical occurrence of the vast Brahmaputra river system in a fluvial land form.The island itelf extends for a length of about 80 km and 10-15 north to south direction with a total area of about 875 sq km.It is 85-90m above the mean sea level.Majority of the people of Majuli belong to scheduled tribes.The Mising and Deori tribals are believed to be the largest in the island where they live in unique house form in bamboo made stilt houses often located near the riverine tracts,wetlands and other hydrological features.The change in the climatic conditions couple with occurrence of annual natural calamities is threatening the existence of the tribes in Majuli that may drive out them from their pristine habitat.There is a pressing needs from global as well as local actors for coordinated actions to help the tribes to adapt to the climate vulnerability at the earliest.The government of Assam has also proposed that the island be included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage Site list because of its unique historic importance and co-existence of various cultures .Besides,the island is also home to various species of birds.The fear of the islanders is also looming large due to the construction of 2000 MW hydro power dam project in the upstream of Subansiri river at a place called Gerukamukh on Miri Hills(Miri is an exonym for Mising) located in Assam-Arunachal border.Majuli falls within Jorhat district of Assam in India.

(Mishing Renaissance is thankful to Bhupen Mili for sharing the finding of the above study on climate change in Majuli island .We also acknowledge our gratitude to Juri Pegu Schmidt Soltau for the photographs.)

The Tani Lipi:A Proposed Script for Tani Languages

             The Tani languages basically belongs to Sino-Tibetan ethnologue of Tibet-Burman branch that were formerly known under the name of North Assam linguistic family.However,recent research findings have admitted that these languages comes under the fold of Tani language,not North Assam as used in earlier linguistic literatures.The Tani languages includes Adi,Mising,Tagin,Nyishi,Apa,Galo ,and Hill Miri dialects of different subgroups which are spoken in the states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh in India.A little number of speakers belonging to Bokar Lhoba/Luoba tribe are there in Tibet(China) scattered in Luoyu,Medog counties of Nyingchi Prefecture.
          The estimated speakers of Tani language might crossed one and half million mark.However,there was no written script of any of Tani dialects which necessitated for having an own script.The Tani script was devised by Tony Koyu of Arunachal Pradesh.It was subsequently introduced in the legislative assembly in 2007 in Arunachal Pradesh .However,it didn't see the dawn till date.The Tani tribes at present uses Roman script in their day to day writings.
            The Tani languages have great deal of similarities and does have the potential of becoming a lingua franca among the inhabitants of northern bank of Brahmaputra river and Arunachal Pradesh if concerted efforts are materialized from Tani people themselves besides enriching the literature to save from decaying and distortions.The Tani language,if systematic approach towards making a common language is done,it could also be used as medium of expression in trade and commercial activities across border if ties between India and China are improved in the near future.

Orthographic Modification is Need of the Hour

2011-08-14T08:14:00.000-04:00

Peter Pegu
(O! My people, do not kid me, I am your mother: Let Mishing Language go beyond Prof. Tabu Tawid)

Mishing language phonetics, as is interpreted today by Prof Tabu Tawid and also inspired Mishing Agom Kebang by him for its propagation, leaves a lot to be desired; inasmuch as, it calls for a full-course review at this stage.. In his “A Dictionary of the Mishing Language” Prof Tawid has elaborately dealt with Mishing language and it phonetics taking its pre-literate colloquies, meekly characterized by the toddler’s spluttering of pre-dental growth. For instance, he said the English ‘president’ would be ‘pesiden’ in Mishing phonetics and accordingly the orthographic constructions of such words would be: like istail, iskul, silipar etc. No doubt, neologism is a process of borrowing words from other speeches by accepting its distorted value; but one has to check the level of phonological corruption in the language. Too much of negativity does not contribute positive growth of anything. It is not prudent to count pre-molar vocabularies as regular lexicon for building a standard language. In his treaties, there is little concern about linguistic evolution totally ignoring the infusion of phonetic wisdom to the community in the wake of widespread literacy. Prof. Tawid is a highly revered person in the community and a prolific writer on versatile subjects. But these do not amount to the sort of linguistic pride the Mishing people could derive from his individual achievements. On the contrary, by his ‘extra-linguistic pursuit’ on the Mishing phonemics, he has pulled up the community to a comical end, where Mishing turns to Mising and then tends to a big Missing. Such caricature of linguistic jargons does not generate any inspiration for sustenance; rather oddly fizzle out within short stints. The Mising Autonomous Council and the NETV’s Mising News have, for instance, now totally become Missing and Mising language classes in primary schools is steadily Missing out. When a person is identified with ‘mising tribe’ (with missing pronunciation), it perceptibly jeopardizes the image of the tribe and on sentimental reason, it causes annoyance. Basically, annoyance is detriment to popularization.

Popularization of Mishing language, as is always the case for any vocal speech, usually has two-prong intentions: preservation and glorification. If we stick only to the former, the lexicography to that end could be constructed deploying any given alphabetical symbols in any manner with proper footnotes, as is, it seems, done by the author under reference. On the other hand, if aim for both preservation and glorification of our mother tongue, a graceful orthographic methodology for academic purpose is obviously an imperative need. Prof. Tawid’s unilateral analysis of the Mishing phonetic lacks such refinement. Rather, it has pushed the entire community to linguistic abysmal to say the least - to the realm of mock and joke entertainments. A language cannot grow or gain popularity when people at the receiving end play down with lighter vein.

To bring our point home, we refurbish some of our views which have time and again been expressed in earlier editions of this magazine. As the geographical area broadened due to expansion of literacy and employment of the masses beyond our traditional economic domain, we are comically reduced to mere ‘missing-identity’ out of ‘mising-homonym’, theoretically taken by entire population of the country. Even hundred times corrections, in person and in print, the mising remains as missing. It is excruciatingly humiliating. Such illusory notion of the people undermines even the very existence of our community: that too, at our own choice. We should not leave any scope for falsehood. What advantage we accrue choosing ‘mising’ over Mishing?

Another, ko-kho go-gho English and their alphabetic order is an absurd thing in Indian context. Absurdity can be allowed to happen only in a forest glade; but in the country’s open soil, it turns indeed to a comedy circus. Sadly, we become part of it. Still another theory that Mr. Tawid postulated for the language is: one character corresponds to realize one and only one phoneme. Unless you revert to kiddy colloquia, the ‘one-to-one relation’ rule does not, in principle, go with Roman alphabets. This is because of the fact that there are very many allophonic variants within a single phoneme in any given language which is habitually represented by combinations of letters in the scripts. If we strictly follow this rule, our language will be reduced merely to a quaint dialect with a strangely twang accent - mumbling within two lips. Nobody wants linguistic vulnerability of pre-literate kind from our language. Mother tongue cannot be played with kiddy stuff; in any manner kid her not. We ought to make concerted efforts to give a Standard Language for academic purpose.

Add to the woes, the clumsy diacritical marks or explosive denotations with dashes, colons, hyphens over and alongside the characters are another bottlenecks that would necessitate technological rectification, particularly on typing machines. But, technological modification and creating training centers exclusively for Mishing language will perhaps be next to impossible for us at this stage; even otherwise, it would be a white elephant to the community. Generally Germany, France, Portuguese and some few others deploy such techniques for their languages and made provisions in the key-board accessories. We in India follow the English language key-board. There is no typing institution in the country where typing technique can be trained French or Portuguese ways. We do not think Mishing people have enough resources to create key-board and training facilities separately. The arguments about absence of ligature in the beginning and end of a word, digraph, aspirate, fricative as well as affricative sounds in Mishing language are proved to be linguistic antic – a pre-literate concept and archaic notion; majority people view these as things of the past, which need no sustenance in rigid terms. Mishing masses have rejected such linguistic rigidity on wholesale basis. These and many more speak squarely and loudly that Mishing language should be freed from the hobbles of alphabetic constraints introduced by Prof. Tawid. It is therefore time now to come out from such uncomfortable confinements. Else, to remain static is to become stagnant. Language is never static.

Mishing Society of Mumbai has provided with a fitting option of the Mishing Language Orthography devised on rationalization concept, the salient features of which were highlighted in the previous issue of this publication. We have crafted it scrupulously bearing in mind that it is not debasing the pristine idiosyncrasy of the language. We sincerely invite Mishing Agom Kebang in particular and the linguists and well-wishers of the Mishing language in general to examine the idea in detail, point by point and offer their firm views either ways.

The writer is the editor of Mumbai based annual magazine 'Asinang Onam' and founder of Mishing Society of Mumbai(MSM).

POETRY FOR PLEASURE:MÉ:TOM GAMIG
Bhaskar Pegu

Poetry always makes for enlightenment and pleasure.A collection of poems edited by Abhijit Payeng "Mé:tom Gamig"from the banks of Ronganoi is contrasted in between romanticism and nostalgia,call for revolution and social change,the pleasure of spring and Ligang longing.The pages of Mé:tom Gamig are adorn by both budding and well-known poets,all from riverside!After reading the poems,one can sense the power of imagination of the poets.The rural setting by the river Ronganoi is fervently reflected in one the poems written by Nirmal Narah especially when he underscores:Ronganoi ru:yi-rusak lo ngoluk do:lung dung,jirin-jirinpe a:ne asse biyyara biddung;Kekon-kesag pigolo, Si:sa: yame:ye mebo nitomem songkit kikittakna dung...

Mé:tom Gamig

Editor:Abhijit Payeng

Publisher:Ronganoi Prakashan

Mothowkhur Ahomani

Lakhimpur ,Assam-787 052

Price:Rs.70.00

Poet Abhijit Payeng paints the stark social reality emerging out of guns and bullets in his poem "Kinsuna Yubnang".He has scripted on Ligang festivals,romanticism as well as facts of the social whole.While Bhaigeswar Pogag's poems are best known for his revolutionary appeal for unity and consciousness to get out the present clumsy atmosphere.One can see in his poem how betrayal and exploitation of Mising society must be dealt with by standing unitedly and firmly.Pogag also calls for writing through his poem "No Attoka" ,which shows the poet's love for one's language and culture.

The poetry is filled with variety of tastes and feelings that gives the reader a pleasure reading.Besides Abhijit and Bhaigeswar,the poets of Me:tom Gamig include Prasanta Payeng,Jiten Payeng,Jiten Narah,Nirmal Narah,Meghoram Payeng and Dipti Padun.There is no doubt that Me:tom Gamig from the Rongonai river bank will left any reader unrewarded.

Manoranjan Pegu’s Linguistic Misadventure

2010-07-31T15:57:00.003-04:00

Manoranjan Pegu is trying to become a sonorous echo of the faint voices reflected from the distant mountain – which have no generative power of its own. As a result, he is presupposing so many things out of his ignorance, which are reflexive in his arguments. He has not overcome preliminary ideas, still being stuck with the introductory contents.

We think Manoranjan Pegu needs some introspection on the following points. For his benefit, we are pointing out some of his inadequacies that fall short of the discussions we had been so long engaged with, in the paragraphs cited below:

Youth of GenNext:

We often talk of progressive GenNext youth as the future of the Mishing society who will take the community and its language smoothly forward. Here, we always underline and stress upon the terms broad perspective, progressive outlook and looking forward attitude.

If Manoranjan Pegu does not fall himself within these parameters, he can not attach himself as “I am just one of those youth perhaps Mr. Peter Pegu is talking about”; it would merely be his self-appointment, a nom-de-plume. Regressive mindset, person in enclosed confinement, cave-man attitude and frog-in-a-well would not be a member of the innovative youth group we are imagining about.

Mising to Missing

Manoranjan Pegu does not believe Mising turns to missing. That is his problem – the Mishing community, as a whole, has nothing to do with one’s individual belief. He should keep personal belonging in his own pocket. For others, ‘mising’ and ‘missing’ are homophonous words with equal resonance, identical sonic frequency and uniform sound wave and as a result they are mutually exclusive.

Manoranjan Pegu is a hard nut to crack, even applied with somatic forces, who ‘maintains an argument that changing the spelling of Mising to Mishing’, that too without any convincing reason. The community is helpless to boil down such fruits to their edible form.

Mishing Diaspora

Outside of Assam, the Mishing identity does not ring a bell. Mishing population (students as well as employees and their families) in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and other metropolitan cities of the country is counted with microscopic minority and practicing their native culture tends to infinitesimally zero. In the environment, the traditional custom has been dumped as non-practicing culture, despite boasting ourselves with ‘rich and colorful Mishing culture’. It is a ground reality.

Apart from own Mishing circle, they live under the broad protection of the Assamese umbrella and tell their native neighbours accordingly. In the process they establish a presentable identity and find a friendly equation with them (never disclose as Missing/Mising tribe). Within the Mishing circle, it makes no difference whether ‘the name’ is spelt as Missing or Mishing or Miching or Mising; these words have similar sounds in Mishing tongue and ear. Same argument is applicable to the Delhi Mishing Students’ Union.

Moreover, they enjoy busy moments in the metropolitan life. So, as Manoranjan found, ‘Majority of the people still either does not know about the debate or is not interested in it.’

Whims and fancies

Construction of orthography of a language never comes out of one’s whims and fancies, nobody does it. Rather, it is constructed invariably out of expertness - after attaining knowledge and command over the language as per linguistic theories. That comes again after long pursuance of the nitty-gritty of its word structure etc. Linguistics is a highly technical subject altogether and a full course in post graduate studies. It is the systematic study of language, its sounds, structure, meaning and function.

Applied linguistics is the use of linguistic theory to address real-world problems such as language education and research in phonology etc. Prof. Tabu Tawid and Prof. Nahendra Pahdun have extensive studies on the subject. In equal measure, I have in-dept study on linguistics and phonetics more than ten years. Out of my long training and experience, I have re-modeled (adoption of alphabets according to the existing phoneme in our speeches) Mishing Language Orthographic System on rationalization concept and put through it for experts’ comments. Whole system has been well-formatted and coded into the different sections of a standard grammar.

Here, whims and fancies do not come; the sections of the grammar speak. If someone does not agree with contents of the section he should come out scholarly pointing the shortcomings or its technical snags. So far no one could challenge. Mishing Society of Mumbai has been gainfully using the technique since 1996 with great advantage.

Authoritarian or dictatorial

The subject I know, know it thoroughly. I speak firmly, confidently, authentically and obviously authoritatively. Knowledge is the power. That does not mean that I am an authoritarian or dictatorial. It is a false and baseless accusation. Such insipid argument should come in a fine and constructive debate.

Spelling of Tawid

According to the spelling technique mentioned above and adopted by Mishing Society of Mumbai under rationalization concept, the spelling of Tawid, Pahdun, Pateer, Mohrang, Leegang, Bahne-Kebang etc. have been accepted as orthographically correct.

Here we reiterate, it is not Peter Pegu’s whims and fancies, it is being constructed as per the rule of the grammar. No question of giving freehand to Peter Pegu, he has to stay within the framework of various sections of the orthographic grammar adopted by Mishing Society of Mumbai.

Spelling progression

Manoranjan Pegu has unnecessarily informs us about the changes of Mishing language spelling system, as if Mishing Society of Mumbai is far away from those developments. For his information we state that though MAK sees us with red-eyes, treats us as their linguistic rivalry and enemy, we tract the developments very closely from various reliable sources. Our ways of dealing with the situation is we continue to write and keep a strong pen: pen with sharp nib and overflowing ink.

Conclusion

It is good, as Manoranjan Pegu owns up, “This issue creates a great interest to me”. We wish him best of luck. Gain more knowledge on the subject and come out scholarly and strongly. Do not talk ‘hawa-hawa’. Little learning is dangerous thing.

But for us, this is the concluding correspondence with Mr. Manoranjan Pegu. No further written communiqué will be made with him henceforth - unless and until he comes back fresh with background knowledge on the subject.

This measure is being taken to dissociate with the people who beats around the bush without substance.

Mishing Renaissance is grateful to Mr.Peter Pegu for the above article..

Land Alienation of Tribes in North East India

2010-06-15T13:01:00.000-04:00

Land is the prime need for all human beings BUT unfortunately in North East India in the name of “Forest Policy” the Govt of India has acquired tribal land & is gradually pushing out the indigenous tribes out of their age-old habitats.

Every time the land of a tribal community has been acquired for some project of the Govt they have been paid “cash compensation” – realizing pretty well that they have no respect for cash & stacking a few rupees is not a part of the tribe cultural ethos.

Besides, while the land is acquired, if it is for an industry, there is a promise for a “job”, so when the tribes while away the “cash compensation” , they survive on a “promised job”, which is never delivered as the job offer is turned down citing that the tribes do not have sufficient skills. The land is lost forever & there are no jobs!

At the same time, certain politicians & agencies of the Govt have been very keen to facilitate settlement of Illegal Bangladeshis, this has created a lot of controversial issues & does not seem to end, though at the moment Assam & Tripura are the worst affected a trend of Bangladeshi illegal settlers moving to Manipur & Nagaland is being witnessed. The condition of the fencing of Indo-Bangladesh border is best left unsaid.

Today, Bangladeshi illegals are found almost in every part of the North East Region.

To preserve the unique cultural identity of the Tribes of North east India, the land alienation activities conducted under the supervision of the Govt, its officials & their agents must STOP with immediate effect!

If the Govt is keen to “develop” the tribes then its has to be done in a cautious way & taking into consideration the tribal way of functioning, their value systems, morals etc. Emphasis should be laid on overall socio-cultural development & not merely on material advancement.

Thus the Govt of India needs to address the land alienation issue when drawing up any “plans” or launching welfare “schemes” for tribal development.

Thanks & Regards

Bangladeshi illegal infiltration & North East India

2010-05-24T06:09:00.002-04:00

Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars in the North East: FAQ

-------------------------------------------------------------

Who are the Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars?

Every day around 6,000 illegal Bangladeshi Muslim infiltrators cross the border and enter Assam, India.

If they are “Beggars”, how can these beggars be dangerous?

Many of these are Islamic militants with links to Al-Queda and other Muslim extremist groups who are operating in Bangladesh to take over Assam the militant Islamic way and create a “Kashmir” like situation through their “silent” jihad.

Why do the Beggars cross over to Assam, is it easy?
India has fenced parts of the 4,000-km border with Bangladesh, but officials say this has done little to deter migrants bent on leaving one of the world's poorest countries. Assam shares a 272 km porous border with Bangladesh, a vast stretch of which is unfenced.

What do these Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars do?
The beggars become farmhands or river fishermen in villages. In towns they are often construction workers or rickshaw pullers, and the women work as maids. Some beggars have succeeded in marrying the locals too. The “beggars” also beg for money door to door across Assamese towns posing as “local people” whose relatives are “coping” with “incurable” diseases. Usually they beg in groups of two and expect all the “group” members to be paid.

Why are they addressed as “Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars”?
Interesting question, “Bangladeshi” because they speak Bengali and poor Assamese and from the way they dress, a simple man can also make out that they are “Muslim” [skull caps and long beards], You can also spot them with the religious groans and “Beggars” because they beg!

How many of them are there in Assam?
Though there are no official’s figures of actual numbers of Bangladeshis in Assam, locals say their population could be six million of the state's 26 million people.

What has the Government done till this date?
A BIG NOTHING!!! The government and the students union signed a pact in 1985 for deportation of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants, but believe it or not, clauses on the deportation of foreigners have still not been implemented. Twenty years of inaction is taking violent shape now.The Assam Accord is dusting itself in some beaureaucratic dustbin. Before we blame New Delhi let us understand that successive govts in Assam have also failed in their quest, and have now started using these Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars as Vote Banks.Right from beginning in order to get minority votes, the Congress led UPA Government in India have taken little steps to deport millions of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.

Has the presence of these beggars affected the common people of Assam?
Yes, The local people in Assam have lost jobs, their cultural heritage and their national identity because of these beggars. Their hatred has finally manifested towards India and especially towards Indian citizens from West Bengal and Bihar.

How do we THE COMMON PEOPLE kick these beggars out?
The Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars will be kicked out only IF THE COMMON PEOPLE WISH TO KICK THEM OUT!!!!! The Government has failed miserably.

---------------------------------------------------------------

"Save the North East Region, save our Identity. Let's take an oath ... no food, no job, no shelter to Bangladeshis" Starve the Bangladeshi Muslim Beggars and kick them out"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Bangladeshis 'SMSed' out of Assam

An economic blockade enforced by a little known youth group in Upper Assam, the Chiring Chapori Yuba Mancha has forced thousands of illegal Bangladeshi settlers to flee, reports NDTV.com.

"Illegal immigrants have been one of Assam's biggest issues for the last two decades.But this time round there were no demonstrations, strikes or boycotts. Instead a campaign against illegal Bangladeshi immigrants is being carried out through SMS.

People are being told through cell phone messages to not give jobs or food to Bangladeshis.As a result of a campaign that began on April 15, thousands of Bengali Muslim labourers and rickshaw pullers have been leaving the town of Dibrugarh."

The Mising of Arunachal Pradesh

2009-10-19T06:42:00.003-04:00

According to 2001 census,total population of the Mising stands at 13,591.This is a quite an important figure in a least populated state like Arunachal Pradesh where the total population is just around 12 lakhs. The Misings inhabits the districts of East Siang ,Lohit,Lower Dibang Valley and Tirap.

The Misings of Arunachal Pradesh too are maintaining their language,culture and all essential elements.It is significant to mentioned that they have keep intact their identity though Misings in Arunachal Pradesh are scattered in different places.

It may be recalled that the Misings of Arunachal had to struggle for a long period to get the recognition of Schedule Tribe in the state despite the fact that Misings were aboriginal inhabitants.Amidst opposition from various quarters,however,the years democratic struggle bored fruit through the efforts of few dedicated leaders in 2006.

This doesn’t mean that Misings has fulfilled every demand in Arunachal Pradesh.

Many Mising areas are far from parallel development like other counterparts of Arunachal Pradesh.We can conscientiously point that where ever the Misings are,they believe democratic struggle,thus abiding by the great ideal of the Constitution of the country.

The Misings of Arunachal Pradesh celebrate Ali-a:ye-lígang festival.The Ligang festival has got official recognition in the Gazette of Arunachal Pradesh.The government of Arunachal Pradesh has declared the date of 2nd February as official holiday .

In his article Mg.Oiboram Payeng,a noted leader of Misings in Arunachal,in the Takam Mising Porin Kebang(TMPK) central committee’s mouthpiece ‘Lí:sang’(2009) has aggrievedly mentioned that Misings of Arunachal Pradesh has been living like second class citizens in their own land origin.He has reiterated that due to lack of cohesion among the Misings of Assam counterpart,where majority of the nationality inhabits,the Misings of Arunachal Pradesh hasn’t able to exercised effectively their demands before the respective state government.Leaders like Oiboram Payeng and Majid Pao are restlessly working for all round development of Misings of Arunachal Pradesh.

Therefore, it is high time to ponder among the Mising social leaders of Assam to find a workable solution to such ailments.As far as Mising nationality is concerned,it is imperative to work in terms of ‘inclusive nationality ‘ to bring a more relevant and rational concept of the Mising irrespective of any political boundary.It will be great blunder for us if we forget our root which will dearly cost the future generation of the Mising nationality.

Poba Reserved Forest needs National Park Tag

2009-09-07T07:03:00.002-04:00

The Poba reserved forest is a significant rain forest located in outer Jonai in the adjoining East Siang district of Arunachal and Dhemaji district of Assam having various flora and fauna like wild buffaloes,forest pigs,pythons,deer, etc as well as forest resource.

The total land area of the reserved forest is about 10,000 hectares which is also connects through waterways to India's one the most important biosphere reserve-Dibru-Saikhowa National Park,well known for world's single habitat of wild horses. Poba RF is proximity to Dr D Ering National Park of AP.

It may be recalled that since the last few years various social and environmental organisations of Jonai has been demanding that Poba RF should be declared as National Park as soon as possible because of recurrent deforestation by unscrupulous persons and frequent killings of wild animals.During the Asam Sahitya Sabha session at Dhemaji,the Sabha also adopted a resolution that the Poba RF be declared as National Park whereas it pledged to moved the proposal to government of Assam.

The Poba reserved forest is also not far from corporate eye.During last June-July,2009,there were huge protests from the pople at Jonai against when Oil India Limited(OIL) moved for oli and gas exploration in the forest.OIL also conducted a public hearing at Murkong Selek Kristi Bhavan,Jonai on 16 June,2009.

There prevails a common sense of knowledge among Mising Tanis that Jonai is Mising's most populated as well as most secured place for the Tanis living in Assam.The real fact underlie here it is one of the emerging dangerous place for our nationality because the Lali river on the east of the town,flowing near the Poba RF has eroded large part of river banks at Jonai nowadays.

The significance of Poba RF lies here.The soil in the river banks of Lali has been loosing its resistance due to lesser green cover of late.Therefore,understanding its significance,we must thrive for National Park tag for the Poba RF.

Otherwise,who knows after Matmara,Majuli and Bonkowal (all land of the Misings) next may happen to Jonai?

Ancient Mishing Nationality

2009-06-11T06:24:00.004-04:00

Member of Mishing community had never become ruler of any sovereign state in the historical era. But they had strong administrator in the village level even in the ancient times. Each village was headed by a Gam. The Gam was virtually controlling all matters relating to social, judicial and general administration of the village. Members of the village council or Dohlung Kebang, a judicial body, were appointed by the Gam.

The post of Gam was dynastically inherited by the ruling class. But, not necessarily the eldest son of the rulers’ house should occupy the hot seat. The crown may go to his juniors if the elder fail to qualify for the post. The Gam should have an unwavering health with sound head and steady mind, enshrined with pleasing personality. He should know customary law and past chronicle of the society, its culture and tradition.

When the Mishing people migrated to the Miri Hills from Western China in the early first century B.C., reportedly some through Tibet and other from Upper Burma, the mountain country was nothing but a conglomeration of independent villages; i.e., each sect of the community occupied one village. Inter-village relationship was usually established through matrimonial alliances due to exogamous system. Miri Hills or the Miri country was a set of homogeneous administrative units having no common ruler for the land. Thus the concept of Ancient Mishing Nationality was merely concept narrowly confined within the village boundary. But it had far-reaching impact.

Mishing social system and self-sufficient economic organism had long sustaining outcome in the society. Agriculture has been the main source of economic sustenance through out the generation. At constrained situation, a family could call upon the village militia for helping in his farming activity, the arrangement is known as reegbo bonam. There was no specific name for their religion, but in all their devotional ceremonies the Mibu was accepted as the High Priest and under his guidance the holistic services were performed.

The systems were carried forward even when they moved down to the plains of Assam at the beginning of thirteenth century of the last millennium. Due to solid foundation of their social network, stable economic resources and unique religious practices, the Mishing people could uphold their characteristic entity, as a separate community within Indian nationality, even with the blizzard of political upheaval took place at different period of times. Their liberal approach of social stand had the kind of inclusiveness, protectiveness and progressiveness, which attracted more people of other races to the so called Ancient Mishing Nationality.

There are several evidences of coterminous races being fused their identity into the Mishing mainstream. The highland tribe viz., Aka, Dafla, Abor, Miri, Mishmi, Singphou and Khamtis who descended to the river basins of Assam from their respective hill countries at different point of times on different grounds settled down in the plains with Mishing identity. Akas of Akajan area, Aka Basti in Sonitpur district, Daflas of Daflakata borough, Khamtis of Gogamukh neighborhood and Abors of Pahdam village are a few of the living instances who adopted Ancient Mishing Nationality in the traceable past.

They joined into the Mishing mainstream with national pride and promptness; that gradually intonated their spoken dialect into Mishing accent and took the mainstream culture as their own. In the same alacrity Samugurias, Bonkuwals, Bihias merged to the Mishing fold in the unknown past with entire Mishing customs except however the language. Also, oral chronicles tells us that when the once powerful Nara kingdom precipitated crumbling on the close heel of Ahom adventure, the ethnic population of the kingdom identified themselves as the member of the Ancient Mishing Nationality.

Today urban citizen of the Mishing community, both young and old, remain indifferent to the great cultural wisdom of our past - albeit humble root but bright perspectives. Sadly, similar apathetic attitude is steadily surfacing in the rural areas too. The state of downsizing drift is highly deplorable. We should put our concerted efforts to reverse this decaying and disintegrating trend. Mishings are not the lost tribe of the ancient world, unworthy of regeneration. We are very much a community of vibrant culture with diverse roots, united in one name: Mishing.

Ali-Aye-Leegang Celebration in Mumbai

2009-04-19T11:06:00.003-04:00

In early days the village community celebrated Ali-Aye-Leegang festival for over a period of almost five weeks beginning Falgun month, conveniently at different dates. In those times, the main function of Leekgod was religiously solemnized conveniently on a fixed day within the month, but they observed the entire period as festival season in celebratory mood, occasionally organizing gleeful programmes. Keeping this early tradition of the community in mind, the Mishing Society of Mumbai celebrated Ali-Aye-Leegang much belated in the city this year, differing its official date of the actual observance.

The members of Mishing community living in Mumbai and its suburbs gathered together in a posh resort named Zoia Resort, in Thakurwadi on the Old Mumbai-Pune Road to celebrate their most favorite festival of “Ali-Aye-Leegang” for two days on 7th and 8th March 2009. The resort allowed them enough space to accommodate the kind of celebration the Mishing people normally require for this function, which needs a wider area for performing the leeggod ritual over a ploughed and harrowed soil, also a broad even ground for free-style group dance synchronized by thunderous drum beats.

At the early hour of the day on 8th March, a small piece of land was accordingly prepared, at one side of the spacious campus of the resort, decorated with pihro leafs in its four corners. The soil was cleared and suitably tilled with the help of spade and mattock to administer the leekgod ceremony, where a handful of rice-grains were broadcasted by Peter Pegu, eldest member and chairman of the Society, with invocation of ahbangs and chanting leegang hymns.

Ghanshyam Pegu and Bijay Pait on the drums, Debajyoti Doley on cymbal had harmoniously modulated the sounds of drums to leegang beats and the all ladies and gents present on the gathering had joyfully broken into gumrag dance. The overwhelming crowd was later feasted with purang-apin and pagli-rahnam as the symbol of leegang fraternity being hosted with traditional recipe and community’s buffeting custom.

Besides performance of leegang rituals, the other attraction of the day was the idyllic organization of sports and extempore drawing competitions for the children and games for the women. Winners were presented with prizes. A general body meeting was held as a part of Ali-Aye-Leegang celebration where cultural shows were presented by the local artists. Ghanshyam Pegu, Manoj Kumar Doley, Debananda Narah, Anima Doley, Debajyoti Doley and Tapan Kouli spoke on the occasion. In the cultural functions, varieties of Mishing dances were presented by Anubha Pegu, Binita Doley, Baby Doley, Sapna Kouli, Sheila Doley and Nabanita Doley and also by the child artists Chynttia Doley, Bhavana Pegu, Pooja Kouli. The soulful oi-nihtoms were sung by Dharani Misong, Debananda Narah and Shri Pangging. Meeting ended with vote of thanks proposed by the General Secretary Mr. Migam Doley.

Pre-Leegang encounters on the evening of 7th March were more entertaining. Peter Pegu took more than a dozen children to an entertaining square in a specially arranged hall of the resort and delighted them in presence of their parents with skits, songs, games, quizzes and other fun and fair. After the children’s amusements programme, there were non-stop sequential drum beats where one can take his steps for free-style dance or join in the group rhythm with gumrag beat, without hesitations. The resort authority served the gathering with a sumptuous dinner and tasty drinks however with limited quantity.

To commemorate the occasion, a souvenir styled as “Asinang Onam” was also brought out. The salient features of the souvenir are its Kids’-Pages where twenty children contributed their budding talents into this section with creative art-works, poems and short stories. Amongst them, story by Nijora Doley, poems by Yein sisters, Mausoomi and Mayuri, drawings by Chynttia Doley, Aman Pait, Dhruvajyoti Kouli, and Bhavana Pegu are remarkable.

The Luoba's: Lesser known Tani people of China

2009-02-07T01:42:00.010-05:00

Where do the Luoba live?

Scattered primarily throughout the Luoyu Region of southeast Tibet, the Luoba, with a population of 2,965 are the smallest of China's 56 ethnic groups. Their name is derived from the Tibetan word for southerners.

Economy:

Living at the foot of Himalayas, almost completely isolated from the outside world and kept in virtual slavery by the government of Tibet, the Luoba lagged behind the rest of the world until the 1950s when with the help of the Chinese government, all aspects of their life began to improve. Blessed with a wide variety of resources, ranging from animals and plants to minerals, the Luoba economy is based on agriculture and hunting.

Language and Character:

The Luoba language, which belongs to the Tibetan-Burman group of Sino-Tibetan languages, has no writing system, so most Luoba speakers use Tibetan characters. The legends of the Luoba have been passed on orally, often using Jiajin, a unique melody used for relating traditional epics.

Belief:

The Luoba people believe that the world is filled with spirits which dominate their lives, control nature, cause disasters and bestow happiness. They pray to the spirits, seeking blessings, and believe that shamans have the power to control them.

Food and Food Custom:Because of the proximity of the Luoba ethnic minority to the Tibetan people, the food, culture and customs resemble those of the Tibetans. The staple foods are rice, corn and a kind of local grain called 'Jizhuagu' (Chicken's claw grain) with which they brew a popular yellow wine. Buckwheat pies dusted with chilli powder are another favorite.The Luoba ethnic minority is very hospitable and places high value on ettiquette.

When there are guests, they must be given the most distinguished seats and offered the most prized parts of each dish. The Luoba hunt with poisoned arrows, so meat must be treated after the animal is cut up. Before dinner, the host will drink and eat a little to show that the food is safe. Guests should eat all the food put before them on the table, or the host will be offended.

Festivals:

Some of the Luoba people observe festivals according to the Tibetan calendar, while others live according to their own calendar, so the Luoba ethnic minority has no unified dates to celebrate together. Most, however, celebrate the arrival of the New Year by slaughtering pigs, oxen or sheep and sharing the meat with others. Drinking, singing and dancing are other popular new year's pastimes.

The above texts and photo are collected from http://traditions.cultural-china.com/en/127Traditions831.html but the common knowledge by Tani people living in India called them as Lhoba/Lobha which is incorrect,hope the above information will help all to clarify the mistake.

The said known nationality is identified as Luoba,as Prof.Taid has mentioned in his book ''Glimpses'',that a researcher has found quite spectacularly close similarities between them and Tani people of India.Know more about Tani people , please visit

The English version of the above poem is given below:
THE TRUE TANI
In the mountains, on the land of plains
Up above in the heaven, deep inside the earth surface
Everywhere live the True Tani

While he works, while he tell tales
While he climb over the mountains
While hymns are sang
He lives longer

He sees with his own eyes, speak with thine mouth
Works with own hands, stands up on his own leg
The True Tani

The dream he sees the work he does
The struggle he leads
It’s for the Tanis
His ideals and ideas will live longer
He’ll see his own shadow forever
No corpse of his lie anywhere.

Mishing Renaissance is thankful to Mg.Polo Bomi for his contribution of the above Tani poem.
