Tracing Human History: From Prehistoric Origins to Writing Systems

Fossil and genetic evidence suggests that anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) first appeared around 300,000 years ago in Africa. But the earliest known writing systems, such as cuneiform (Sumerians, ~3,100 BCE) and hieroglyphs (Egyptians, ~3,100 BCE), appeared about 5,000–6,000 years ago. Before this, humans passed down knowledge through oral traditions, which are harder to trace archaeologically. While written records only cover a small fraction of human history, archaeological, genetic, and paleoanthropological research helps us understand prehistoric times

Arambai Tenngol leader demands clarification from NPP state unit president

Imphal, Apr 2: Meitei body Arambai Tenngol chief Korounganba Khuman has demanded an apology and clarification from National Peoples' Party Manipur unit president Yumnam Joykumar for his allegations in a social media post that the outfit attacked Kuki community. 

Khuman said "in the midst of your politically oriented conflict, do not sell the land. On May 3, it was 4 pm when AT went to Phougakchao (in Bishnupur district) to save houses engulfed in inferno burnt by armed mob from Churachandpur. Phougakchao is located 10 km from Churachandpur."

"We demand an apology from Joykumar for his remarks on X. He must also clarify if the account is his or if its fake" Khuman added.

Earlier, Joykumar in a post on X said "it’s unfortunate that Mr. N. Biren Singh dragged Late P.A. Sangma’s name into the Manipur crisis via his Twitter and Facebook posts on 31/03/2025. His statement is baffling, as NPP never backed Kukiland. The 2014 video he shared predates the issue, showing his poor grasp of the Meitei-Kuki conflict. Despite ample time, he failed to restore peace."

"The 2014 video of P.A. Sangma is irrelevant to today’s clash. Biren’s queries to NPP President Conrad expose his weak understanding. He claims credit for ILP, but it was the Dy CM from NPP, not BJP, who pushed for it in the delegation meeting" Joykumar said. 

"Biren Ji misjudged the Kuki-Meitei conflict’s roots. The Tribal Students’ rally against the High Court’s ST status order for Meiteis was a law-and-order issue he let spiral into communal strife. Why did his govt allow massive rallies, withdraw commandos from Churachandpur, and let groups like Arambai Tengol attack Kukis?" Joykumar added. 

"His govt’s failure to protect lives and property fueled this crisis. Biren blames drugs, illegal immigration, deforestation, and power grabs, but who runs the drug trade? Refer to ex-SP Brinda Devi’s exposé. Who let Kuki immigrants from Myanmar settle in Tengnoupal to aid BJP’s Letpao Haokip and SS. Olish’s wins? Jhum cultivation, not Kukis, harms forests. If he means BJP’s deals with Kuki groups, NPP isn’t involved. Conrad’s right—focus on peace, not blame, for Manipur’s future" he added.

Nicole Smith-Ludvik: Fearless Stunt on the Burj Khalifa for Emirates

Nicole Smith-Ludvik, the woman who bravely stood atop the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building at 828 meters, as part of an advertisement for Emirates Airlines.

Smith-Ludvik was secured to the pinnacle of the Burj Khalifa, and the shoot adhered to strict safety protocols. To capture the desired footage, an Emirates A380 aircraft flew around the Burj Khalifa 11 times at a speed of 145 knots, which is relatively slow for an A380. The plane maintained a distance of approximately half a mile from the building and was level with its top

The Kiss of Life: A Pulitzer-Winning Photo of Heroic Rescue

This iconic photo, taken by Rocco Morabito in 1967, is called “The Kiss of Life.” It shows two electrical workers, Champion Randall and JD Thompson, atop a power pole. While doing routine maintenance, Champion accidentally touched a low-voltage line, sending over 4,000 volts into his body and causing his heart to stop. (For comparison, an electric chair uses around 2,000 volts.)

Thanks to his safety harness, Champion didn’t fall, and Thompson, who was climbing below, quickly reached him and began mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Although he couldn’t perform full CPR due to the situation, Thompson kept Champion’s lungs active until he felt a faint pulse. Then he carefully unzipped the harness and carried Champion down the pole on his shoulder.

Once on the ground, Thompson and other workers performed CPR, gradually bringing Champion’s breathing and heartbeat back. Paramedics arrived soon after, and Champion made a full recovery. He survived and lived until 2002, passing away at 64 from heart failure. Thompson is still alive today.

The photo, showing what looks like a life-saving kiss, was widely published and won a Pulitzer Prize in 1968. It beautifully captures the bond between two men who were more than just coworkers—they were true friends.

Visualized: The 4 Billion Year Path of Human Evolution

From Protocells to People: A Visual Journey Through 4 Billion Years of Human Evolution

Life on Earth began with tiny, simple structures known as protocells—primitive forms of life that lacked complex features but set the foundation for everything that came after. Over millions of years, these basic life forms evolved into more complex, multicellular organisms. One of the earliest known examples is Dickinsonia, a soft-bodied creature that existed long before modern animals.

As evolution progressed, new biological features emerged—bilateral symmetry, nervous systems, and early eyesight—leading to the first vertebrates. Fish were the pioneers of this group, dominating the oceans before some species ventured onto land. This transition gave rise to tetrapods, the ancestors of amphibians, reptiles, and ultimately, mammals.

About 200 million years ago, early mammals appeared—small, shrew-like creatures that lived alongside the dinosaurs. Over time, mammals developed defining traits such as fur, mammary glands, and more advanced circulatory systems, allowing them to thrive.

Fast forward to about 7 million years ago, and the first great apes emerged. From this lineage, early humans in the Homo genus evolved, bringing key advancements like walking upright, larger brains, tool-making, language, and fire. These developments set the stage for modern human civilization.

Today, human evolution is shaped not just by natural selection, but by technology and environmental changes. As we continue to advance, the future of our species may be influenced by medicine, genetics, and global adaptation, potentially altering the course of evolution itself.

ZUF calls for observance of 91st Zeliangrong Solidarity Day

DIMAPUR, MARCH 31 (MExN): The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has called upon the Zeliangrong people to observe the 91st Zeliangrong Solidarity Day with "full reverence" at key headquarters across Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur.

The observance marks the historic Chukthoibe/Chukthoibo/Chuksumei solemnization, which took place on April 1, 1934, at Tamenglong District Headquarters, Manipur.

According to ZUF, during this sacred event, "our forefathers performed deep secrecy rituals by sacrificing a pure black dog and cat-both without stripes." The ritual signified "purification, where many priests, elders, and leaders took an oath to forgive and forget all internal feuds and to strengthen the bond of brotherhood among the Zeliangrong people."

"It was firmly resolved that anyone who violated or abolished the oath of allegiance to Chukthoibe-Chuksumei-Chukthoibo would inevitably face the curse of the forefathers," the statement read.

Observances will take place at three key locations: Mount Bhubon/Duilumluang Provincial Headquarters in Assam, Mount Lwangdilwa/Pauna Provincial Headquarters in Nagaland, and Mount Koubru/Kandih Nah Raguang Provincial Headquarters in Manipur.

In honor of "our forefathers' commandments," ZUF has urged all Zeliangrong people "to offer morning prayers before stepping out of their homes as a symbol of unity and integrity among our people."

ZUF chairman S. Kamson stated that "the preamble of ZUF is solely aimed at safeguarding the Zeliangrong people, their land, and resources while promoting and preserving their culture and traditions."

The Front strongly warned against "the sale of land and the issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to the central or state governments, NGOs, Companies, Private Sectors, or Individuals who are not Zeliangrong origin." 

ZUF also reaffirmed its opposition to "seismic projects and the Zeilad Wildlife Sanctuary in D2 and D3," emphasizing that "human settlement must take priority: 'Man is more important than animals.'"

Additionally, ZUF appealed for "the protection of fauna, flora, and rare species." It called for "an immediate halt to destructive fishing practices using electronic machines, inverters, bleaching powder, endrin and other harmful substances." 

Furthermore, the Front urged people "to refrain from cutting down trees for business purposes and instead preserve dense forests for a healthier environment."

Sikkim’s first female IPS: Aparajita Rai

Meet IPS Aparajita Rai. Raised in Sikkim, Aparajita faced personal tragedy early on—losing her mother at just 8 years old. But instead of giving in to her pain, she used it as fuel to chase her dreams. Determined to bring change from within the system, she cracked the UPSC Civil Services exam twice—in 2010 and 2011—despite the odds stacked against her.
 
Becoming Sikkim’s first female IPS officer, she shone during her training, winning multiple top awards. As an officer, she’s played a key role in busting smuggling rackets involving drugs and gold, earning respect for her courage and integrity.
 
Aparajita’s journey teaches that setbacks don’t define us—our response to them does. She continues to inspire countless young minds to rise above challenges and chase their purpose.

Assam Rifles seize IEDs and explosives in Churachandpur

Mar 31, 2025: Assam Rifles recovered two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) along with 19 gelatine sticks in Churachandpur district, officials reported.

According to police sources, the first set of explosives, including the gelatine sticks, was discovered in a village approximately 10 kilometers from Churachandpur town.

The second IED was located near a roadside culvert close to another village. Security personnel later defused both explosive devices, ensuring public safety.

Manipur has been grappling with ongoing ethnic tensions between the Meitei and Kuki communities since May 2023. The conflict has claimed over 250 lives and left thousands displaced.

In response to the escalating crisis, the central government imposed President's Rule on February 13, following the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh.

Federal Council of 5 (FCO5): Press Release

March 31, 2025: This is to state that the 'Joint Consultative Meeting' held on the 31st March 2025 (Monday) over the MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (MHA) INVITATION by the following five (5) Councils/ Forums  namely:

i)  Thadou Tribe Council (TTC)-GHQ, (largest tribe in Manipur accounting for 55% of total Kuki-Zo population),

ii)  Any Kuki Tribes Council (AKTC), Manipur (Apex body of various Un-recognised  Sub-Tribes & Clans under AKT),

iii)  Lomlhang Som (LS), ethnic Kuki traditional Youths Forum,

iv)  Kuki Reformation Forum (KReF), and

v)  World Kuki-Zo Intellectual Council (WKZIC)-GHQ, after thorough deliberations  resolved as under:
 
1. That the 5 (five) Federal Councils/Forums in the interest of the Kuki-Zo people cannot digest the 'Telephonic Verbal Invitation' to the Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM), the Hmar Inpui (HI) and the  Zomi Council (ZC) by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) through the President of Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), thereby fragmenting the Kuki-Zo people and community. KZC may be invited officially who can consult the public and put up the wishes of the public to MHA/ GoI.

2. Any member of the above stated CSOs, if any going to Delhi just through Second Person (s) is "An Insult" to the Kuki-Zo people and do not represent or have the mandate of the Kuki-Zo people and their Political struggle, which is within the purview of the Constitution of India, that was started wayback in 1946-47 by the Kuki National Assembly (KNA) to the Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, and current Genocide upon minority Kuki people by the majority Meiteis sponsored by the 'Manipur State Government'.

3. Political issues should be solved Politically and not per "Kuki Traditional  Customary" in the form of 'HEMKHAM', (Cease fire or Cessation of Violence) which is meant applicable within the community, and not for Political matters and issues, and with other communities.

4.  Any leader (s) or CSOs meeting with MHA without 'Offical Invitation' or the Meiteis, without the consent and approval of the Kuki-Zo people through 'Public Consultation' relating to the current conflict and its related Ex-gratia, Reliefs & Rehabilitation, Fundings etc shall not be entertained and accepted by the Kuki-Zo, till the GoI/ MHA brings "Political Solution" under the provisions of the Indian constitution.

5.  The Government of India and MHA is requested to kindly respect the sentiments of the Kuki-Zo people and do not apply any "Divisive Policy" upon Kuki-Zo people against the 'DECLARATION No. 3' of the "Political Discourse & Public Consultation 2025", dated, the 15th February 2025, initiated and conducted by WKZIC at M. Songgel Community Hall.

Issued by:

St. Rock’s Girls HS KUKI-ZO Students: EMPOWERING HOPE through PRAYER and CARE

ON THIS 31 March 2025 evening, around 4:30 pm, a visit was made to St Rock’s Girls’ High School in Bengaluru, where a group of our beloved children, the Kuki-Zo young girls, is receiving free education and accommodation. Displaced by the violence in Manipur, they now reside here, as many of their villages have been destroyed.

These children are studying under the loving and affectionate care of Catholic sisters, who nurture them as their own.

In addition to their studies, these kids love football, and no doubt, they are good, better than their local peers.

With 30 lollypops in hand, they were met, and the sweets were joyfully shared with them.

My dear young sisters, please remember these three things in your heart: Be Obedient, Be Punctual, and Be Studious.

Most importantly, be prayerful. When waking up, before doing anything else, fold your hands and pray - thank God and ask for His blessings for the day. And before going to bed, pray to God as well.

We should pray for our teachers, our families, and our friends here. We must also pray for one another. Whenever feeling unwell, sad, angry, or burdened with any bad feelings: “call upon God / pray to God”.

Jeremiah 33:3 (NRSV) says:
“Call to me, and I will answer you and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”

In times of difficulty, call upon God. God is good -- always ready to help and waiting for our call.

As we all know the situation at home, do not worry. God is with us all. Study hard to become successful - a doctor, an engineer, a pilot, an army officer - whatever you dream of.

It is our hope that God will grant us our aims and ambitions.

Looking forward to seeing you as doctors, officers, engineers, and more when we meet again.

Wishing them, blessing them with a word of prayer.

🙏💚May God bless St. Rock’s Girls’ High School and its Students!💚🙏

God Be With You All Till We Meet Again.

Miller’s Road, a crucial link connecting multiple cities, has been left in a disgraceful state, littered with unnecessary waste -- discarded clothes, tangled wires, and heaps of garbage. Adding to the mess, frequent water leakages in the middle of the road pose a serious danger to passing vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents.

The complete lack of civic responsibility is evident, and yet, the concerned authorities have turned a blind eye. Despite months of neglect, no action has been taken to restore Miller’s Road to a clean and well-maintained condition.

Hey, BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike), wake up! It’s time to pull up your sleeves and get to work. The people of this city deserve better!
