New Delhi, August 19, 2014: Fragrance of the North-eastern films to traverse through the National Capital - Delhi! This is an opportunity for Delhiites to get as close as possible to North-East India later this month, without stepping out of the national capital. The Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF) is organizing “Fragrances from the North East”, a three-day festival of cinema from the region in a freshly-refurbished Siri Fort Auditorium complex.

Giving an absolute North-Eastern experience to the visitors, the film screenings will be supplemented by cultural programmes, handicraft exhibitions, food stalls and much more during the festival that will take place during August 22-24.

To be inaugurated on August 22 by the Hon’ble Minister for Information & Broadcasting Shri Prakash Javadekar, the festival will be attended by several leading film personalities from the region, including internationally-acclaimed filmmakers Jahnu Barua and Aribam Syam Sharma, and actors Danny Dengzongpa, Seema Biswas, Adil Hussain, Geetanjali Thapa and many more.

Going the Distance

Mr. Shankar Mohan, Director, Directorate of Film Festivals said, "I invite all likeminded of people of Delhi, particularly the young to come and experience the three day North East Film Festival - "Fragrances from the North East" happening  at Sirifort complex from the 22nd to the 24th August.

Landlord Arrested for Molesting Northeast Girl in Delhi

ON AUGUST 18, 2014, a 20-year-old girl from Manipur was allegedly molested by her landlord in Mohammadpur, South Delhi, around 5 p.m. The accused made three attempts to intimidate and harass the victim and her aunt.

In the first incident, the landlord, accompanied by an unknown man, forcefully entered their home, inspecting every room, including the bathroom. At the time, the victim was with her aunt. The man stood watch while the landlord sat on their bed, waiting for them. "We were terrified and ran outside, refusing to return until he left," recounted the aunt. The victim added, "He threatened us, saying, 'You, Northeast people, what can you do to me if I kill you? You stay only with your sisters. Who will come to save you?'"

In the second incident, the landlord again entered their room forcefully, making the victim and her aunt fear for their safety. "He was clearly trying to take advantage of us because we are girls. We were terrified he might attempt to kill or rape us," said the victim, a Delhi University student visiting her aunt during the holidays.

The victim's aunt, who had recently moved to Delhi and works as a staff nurse in a private hospital, was living with three friends, two of whom work in retail, while the brother is a student. During the incidents, none of them were present. Following the complaints, the police arrested the landlord.

Northeast IPS Officer’s DAUGHTERS Shine at All India Open Karate Championship

TWO daughters of Robin Hibu, a distinguished IPS officer and Joint Commissioner of Delhi Police, excelled at the 10th All India Open Karate Championship 2014, held at Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi on August 17-18, 2014.

Miss Anna Hibu showcased her skills by defeating Miss Ananya Kumari from Gurgaon, Haryana, in five rounds of the Sub Juniors Karate Skills Demonstration (Kata) for children under 8 years old. 

Meanwhile, Hibu Abyang clinched a gold medal in fighting (Kumite) for the under 11 girls’ Sub-Junior category, triumphing over Miss Tanima Biswas from Kolkata, West Bengal, after four intense rounds.

Their father, Robin Hibu IPS, expressed pride in his daughters’ accomplishments, stating, “Anna and Cathy have trained rigorously in karate every day for the past three years after school. I’ve witnessed their growing confidence, self-defense skills, and concentration. I feel assured that they can take care of themselves against road romeos and muggers with their karate kicks and punches. At least I won’t worry about their safety as they grow up.” Robin Hibu also serves as the Nodal Officer for the North East in Delhi.

Zou Calls for Equal Opportunity Commission in Manipur

 NEW DELHI, AUG 18, 2014: Khamchinpau Zou @ K. Zou, a social activist and candidate for the Outer Manipur Lok Sabha seat in 2014, has urged the Honourable Chief Minister and Vice Chancellor of Manipur University to establish an “Equal Opportunity Commission (EOC)” to promote integrity in Manipur. He argues that the current system of distributing state resources in employment, educational institutions, and development sectors has become a significant barrier to peaceful cohesion within the state.

Zou highlighted that the disproportionate allocation of state resources has led to the dominance of the majority elite Meitei community in government employment, universities, and the economy. Consequently, the indigenous Tribals, who make up around 35% of the state's population, have been marginalized and relegated to a second-class status, resulting in widespread discontent. He emphasized the need to eliminate such unconstitutional and irrational discrimination or find alternative arrangements to foster peaceful coexistence.

Additionally, Zou raised concerns that even some senior tribal government officials, including IAS, IPS, MCS officers, and directors, often face deprivation of their rightful claims to promotions, postings, and work allocations. He pointed out that Hill people are frequently denied their fair share of reservations in educational institutions, central-sponsored professional courses, employment, and other development schemes. The demand for the implementation of the Central Educational Institutions (Reservation in Admission) Amendment Act 2012 at Manipur University, voiced by both groups of ATSUM, serves as a recent example of the apathy shown by the institution. Zou noted that such acts of partiality and chauvinism against specific sections of society reflect a cold-war-like atmosphere in the state.

Nagas Protest in Delhi Against Sec-144 Imposition in Manipur's Ukhrul District

 x

ON 16 August 2014, a protest by Naga students in Delhi turned violent, leaving at least three people severely injured when police intervened to disperse the crowd outside Manipur Bhawan, New Delhi. Around 500 Naga youths had gathered to protest the imposition of Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) in Manipur's Ukhrul district.

The protest was organized by the Tangkhul Katamnao Long, Delhi (TKLD) under the banner “Committee Against the Imposition of CrPC 144 in Ukhrul”. The imposition of the law followed the assassination of Ngalangzar Malue, the former Vice Chairman of Ukhrul Autonomous District Council, who was killed by unidentified assailants at Finch Corner on July 12. Although eight cadres of the NSCN (IM) were arrested in connection with the killing, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

In response, the state government imposed Section 144 in Ukhrul District, restricting public gatherings, and deployed police commandos and Indian Reserved Battalion (IRB) personnel to maintain order.

Special Article: Indigenous leaders of Chittagong Hill Tracts

Indigenous leaders of Chittagong Hill Tracts

About the International Indigenous Day and the Indigenous leaders of the Chittagong Hill Tracts

WE REALLY wondered when hearing the new debate about the term ‘Indigenous’ and ‘tribal’ Issues in the CHT. The Jana Sanghati Samiti (JSS) urged the government for Indigenous recognition in place of ‘tribe’ and United People Democratic Front (UPDF) urged the government for constitutional recognition of all ethnic groups in each tribal ethnic terms. Before the Peace Accord in 1997, the hill leaders used the term tribe. Even in the Papers of Peace Accord of CHT, JSS leaders wrote and signed, “the term of hill people will be Tribe”. Then, no one complained. 

Today, the leaders want Indigenous recognition. What marvelous politics. UPDF, that never wanted the Peace Accord of CHT, complained that the JSS leaders earned huge money from International organizations, such as the United Nations Development Organizations (UNDP), DANIDA, Asia Development Bank (ADB), in the name of observation of Indigenous Day. They save money to buy arms with. Leaders of both organizations complain with each other. 

On the other hand the government announced that in Bangladesh the term Adibashi (Indigenous) cannot be used, now people can only use the term Nrigushthi (small ethnic group). Earlier, Foreign Minister Dipu Moni stated that there were no Indigenous people in Bangladesh. Bangladesh government (according to memo: CHTAM (s-2)29/2010/25, Date: 28.01.2010) announced that according to the notice declared by the government there are 45 Indigenous peoples in Bangladesh. In the laws of Hill District Councils, Regional Council and state’s constitution “tribes” should be used for the hill peoples of Chittagong Hill Tracts. The term Indigenous was not used anywhere for the hill people. 

Mr. Dipankor Talukder, former Minister of CHT Affairs, said that Sontu Larma (Chairman of JSS and the present Chairman of Bangladesh Indigenous Forum) and Barrister Devashish Roy (Chief of Chakma Circle) spoke about that there are no Indigenous here in this country; there are small ethnic people. They are now urging to the government for recognition as indigenous. 

Diponkor Talukder also said that when the first World Indigenous Day was observed in Dhaka in 1994, Sontu Larma himself said then no Indigenous peoples in Bangladesh. We are all tribes. He (Talukder) repeated that during the Peace Accord of CHT, he had said to Sontu Larma to use the term indigenous in place of tribe, but he then did not agree with him. 

At the time, Larma rather told him that we are not indigenous people, we are tribal. As a result, the term tribe for all the hill peoples was included in the CHT Peace Accord. 

On the other hand, Barrister Devashish Roy, while he was an adviser in the Caretaker government, wrote that there are no Indigenous peoples in Bangladesh. There are only tribal people. If so, why are leaders interested to use the term indigenous now? What are the reasons behind this?

Young Musician seeks Financial Support

New Delhi, 13 Aug 2014: Pholkan Lukhu, a 28-year-old musician from Manipur, has been accepted into the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA, for a four-year professional course. However, despite clearing the highly competitive audition, Lukhu faces a financial hurdle in raising the substantial annual fee of USD 60,000 (approximately Rs 45-50 lakhs).

Lukhu, selected from among participants from 66 countries, 6 continents, and 43 U.S. states, excelled in the audition held in Delhi last year. While his musical talent secured him a spot at Berklee, the hefty cost of tuition now stands between him and his dream.

To raise funds, Lukhu recently hosted a small musical event at Arunachal House in New Delhi, where he performed and shared his passion for music with supporters. The gathering was a modest but heartwarming affair, as well-wishers rallied to support the budding artist.

Lukhu, the eldest of five siblings, comes from Larong village in Chandel district, Manipur. His father is both a primary school teacher and a pastor, while his mother is a homemaker. A brilliant student, Lukhu graduated from Delhi University in 2009 and had previously completed his schooling at JNV, Chandel, with first-class marks.

At the event, Mr. Kesang Ngurup Damo, Deputy Resident Commissioner of Arunachal Bhawan, New Delhi, encouraged Lukhu, saying, “Now your journey begins. Keep walking and work hard to achieve your goal.” He also contributed Rs 5,000 to support Lukhu's cause.

David Boyes, Convener of the North East India Forum Against Racism (NEIFAR), emphasized the importance of supporting talent from the Northeast. “Let us show the world the talent we have,” he said, urging others to contribute.

Pastor Rocky, a close friend of Lukhu, praised his songwriting ability, noting, “Pholkan can write songs and poems as effortlessly as having a cup of tea.” During the event, Lukhu expressed his gratitude, stating, “I’m still a student, still a learner,” before performing several songs for the crowd.

The event was attended by well-wishers, including Pastor Rocky (Church of Hope), Pastor Ayo Zimik (University Evangelical Fellowship), and social worker Linda Newmai. Cornelius Lanah, who compered the program, kept the audience entertained with jokes, bringing smiles to many faces. The event concluded with a blessing prayer led by Pastor Ayo Zimik.

Despite the challenges ahead, Lukhu remains hopeful that with the support of the community, he will be able to realize his dream of studying at Berklee and showcasing his talent on the global stage.

Discussion: Challenges Faced by Northeasterners in Gurgaon’s Private Sector

The discussion centers on the difficulties experienced by individuals from Northeast India working in private companies in Gurgaon. Many Northeasterners face discrimination, cultural alienation, and bias in the workplace due to their distinct ethnic backgrounds.

Addressing these issues requires greater awareness, inclusive policies, and fostering a work environment that values diversity and mutual respect.
