Manipur in 2006. Pic: N Jonish

Popularly known as 'The Missile Man of India' -- Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam (b15.10.1931) -- was the 11th President of India from 25 July 2002 to 25 July 2007.  A scientist turned politician, Kalam was born and raised in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu and studied physics and aerospace engineering. He passed away in Shillong, Meghalaya State on 27 July 2015. Rest in Peace, Respected Sir, PEOPLE'S President!

HERE is a memorable and lively encounter with Dr Abdul Kalam from the words of a top cop from northeastern parts of India.

NEW DELHI, 28 JULY 2015 — I too had touching moments with President Kalam, In full IPS black bandgala dress... all IPS Officers were asked to line up as President will meet all of us being escorted by Dr KK Paul, Commisioner of Delhi Police during his Presidentship during at home function at Delhi.

When he handshaked with me, he smiled and said, "I like your smile... never stop smiling", and said, "People from hills are more happy because they are with nature and always smile".

And he told the commissioner that more young officers should be encouraged to serve at Delhi, so that more youth will be encouraged.

After few years, I was incharge of his security at Tawang Festival. ...he immediately recognised me and said, so young man, you are here....he whispered something at his secretary Mr PM Nair's ear, after the function was over...His Secretary asked me that why not I  join Rasthrapati Bhavan on deputation?

I missed lifetime opportunity to serve the nation with such illustrious visionary president of India.

I have photograph of that pulsating movements with President Dr Kalam hanging at my wall....read his book “Ignited Mind”.

For me he is an inspirational hero. ..... pauperised newspaper frail boy from rural Kerala … who rose to become President of India, decorated with Bharat Ratna by sheer dint of hardwork and sincerity.

Nation especially youth will miss ... such noble and down to earth President. And he died amidst youth of IIM, Shillong....

Rest in Peace, Sir.

Adieu ! Adieu !

A Nation’s Tears : The Immortal ‘Dr Kalam’ ~ Gin Gangte

 Tribute:

“Dream is not that which you see while sleeping, 

it is something that does not let you sleep” 

 – Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

Gin Gangte welcomed the President of India

The unbelievable has happened. That Dr APJ Abdul Kalam is no more. Soon, the news spread like a wildfire. As usual, TV channels were chocking with what they called ‘Breaking News’ and social networking sites were blasted with the sad news, ofcourse very sad news, but turn out to be true. Much as I wish that the news was wrong, however, the unbelievable has finally happened galvanizing the nation’s in tears.

Just as every Indian was in tears, I am also immensely saddened and mournful at the sudden demise of our former President, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. His was a source of inspiration for all. He was a great visionary in thought, a statesman in action, a spiritualist at heart, a nationalist to the core, and above all an outstanding scientist. What I like and admire in him was his sense of ‘utmost’ humility. A down-to-earth in personality, he meant what he says and stood tough for it, come what may. He never accept ‘no’ for an answer. He never retracted from where he has already made a promise and commitment.

The Calling : Meeting the President

Nearly ten years ago, I have the rare opportunity to meet Dr Kalam at his chamber in Rashtrapati Bhavan, on 12^th April, 2006, to be precise. It was a one-to-one encounter, lasting for about 20mins. When I faxed a letter seeking appointment with him, I was not hopeful of granting one. Instead, I was a bit nervous, taking stock of my humble background, coming from a small and hitherto unknown hamlet. A private citizen. A village school’s headmaster. No attractive profile of short. Nothing, nothing at all. Deep in my mind, I was even thinking whether I would be jailed for sending letter to the President. Oh! unexpected as it was, my Nokia 1100 model phone was ringing. A thrilling news came then, a call from the Rashtrapati Bhavan. I was too excited to hear the voice on the other side conveying that ‘The President would meet you tomorrow at 11:00am’. That was the 11^th day of April 2006. Since I was determined to grab the opportunity, I started preparing a five-point representation throughout the night, without enjoying the slightest sleep, for the next day’s ‘encounter’ . I am still surprise wondering what made me to put up a brave face before him. I must admit, nervousness was too luxury for me to be afforded on that day.  On second thought, I realise that it was the dream and vision to do something beautiful for the rural masses to which I belong that put me to take the burden of extra miles to call on the President of India.

 What have exactly pushed me to approach the President was the vision to be apart of his dream – the dream to make India a ‘developed’ nation by 2020. It was the time when the whole country was in the wave of Indo – US nuclear deal. As the President was going through my representation, point after point, I have advanced my thought telling him, but politely, that though ‘Krishnamurthy may be more popular than Christopher in the Silicon valley, the fact is that there are hundreds of tribal students who does not see computer with their own eyes’. I also furtherance my point to tell him about the lack of educational facilities in the hill areas of Manipur. One point that I strongly advocated before him and still relevant till today was to introduce pre-matric scholarship for tribal students, as is the practise with post-matric scholarship. I cited my experience telling him that about 50% of tribal students were unable to purchase books from the open markets. Towards the end of our discussion, I requested the President to visit the nondescript locality where I belonged. The President, at first, was not favourable to the idea citing that he had already visited Manipur in 2002. To add a stronger force to my invitation, I told him boldly that, the ‘real’ India lies in rural areas. After much pushed and repeated request, the President obliged, finally.

My conviction was that, if the President was to visit my village, his visitation would herald atleast a little bit of development for the people of the area, if not many things and more. My conviction proved the desired effect – the state PWD swung into action completing black-topping of 5kms long road from Moirang to Bunglawn in two weeks, which was left unattended for the last 60 years. A new power transformer was fitted. A new water pipelines were arranged for the villagers. A helipad was constructed and the school was painted a new face lift. It was learnt that the Government spent about 2.5 crore for the ‘Great October Visit’. All in all, the people of the area received so much of the visit – a new dawn for the people of Kapaih Valley!!! 

The Promise : Visiting Bunglawn

Six months down the line, keeping the ‘promise’ to his heart, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, the President of India, was flesh and blood at Bunglawn, on the historic 16^th October 2006, interacting with students and public, and meeting with the village chiefs of the area, for an hour. What was noteworthy was the fact that, as the program got over and the President was about to leave the school campus, whilst his aides waiting with the door of his car’s opened, the President took the opposite direction, walked towards the school children, chatted with them and shook hands with them. No wonder, he was the ‘real’ President in its true sense – The People’s President!! Standing besides him, I commented that ‘We are more Indians today than 60 years ago’. Indeed, it was the day that changed my life!!! The opening remarks of the memorable ‘Possiblying Impossible’ speech of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam - ‘Gin Gangte is my friend’ - is still fresh as the morning breeze and will continue to ring in my ears for times to come.

Dr Abdul Kalam Visit.  Photo: N Jonish

Hark! in postmorteming the event, which was to say, a milestone in the annals of history, much more than the visit was the fulfillment of his promise that he had committed  in the summer of 2006, it was more of his love for the poor and the down-trodden, the people who are on the fringe of social and economic deprivation. Though there was no further communication between us during the last six months, it was like a ‘manna’ from Heaven to receive a letter from Rashtrapati Bhavan dated 28^th September 2006, informing that the ‘President would be visiting Bunglon High School on 16^th October 2006’. I was in cloud nine as I heard that piece of ‘big’ news. With the news of the imminent visit of the President of India spread nooks and corners of the state, the hitherto little known Bunglawn has become the destiny of Who’s Who of Manipur, the Bethlehem. From the Deputy Commissioner to the Chief Minister to the Governor, you name it, all were there. The road that the President took to reach the ‘destined’ Bunglawn is now known as ‘Dr Kalam Road’. A Computer Centre & Science Lab – A project of Dr Abdul Kalam was opened at the school campus on January 11, 2011 by the then Governor of Manipur, Dr S S Sidhu. God is good, all the time!!!

Dr. Kalam’s India : A Vision for Development

Today, as Dr Abdul Kalam had left us, and his mortal remains laid to rest in eternity in Rameswaram, from where he began his journey of life, my nerve has been weakened, extremely weakened - my heart cry for the great soul of India. India has lost one of the most illustrious sons, a great motivator, a thinker – setting agendas for 1.2 billion Indians. With the passing away of our former President of India, he has left to us a momentous task, where we all have a duty to perform. It is a well-known fact that Dr Kalam has visioned for a strong and powerful India in the comity of nations. He has outlined his dreams and visions in several books he has penned with, in his public speeches, interviews, et al. He strongly felt the need for bridging the rural-urban divides in order to avoid large scale migration.

Ergo, he has came up with the policy, which is now known as ‘Providing Urban Amenities to Rural Areas’, in short (PURA). He also campaigned for a corruption-free India for the over all development of the nation, and suggested for moral teachings at home, schools, colleges and universities. When many are talking about nuclear and weaponry super power, Dr Kalam, on the other hand, had visioned for a ‘knowledge super power’ for India. The best tribute, therefore, we can give to Dr Kalam is to follow his dreams and visions, his thoughts and actions, with determination and a high degree of commitment in all spheres of our life. It’s true, he is no more with us, in flesh and blood, but the idea and his vision will remain forever. I sincerely hope and pray that his pet project of ‘India Vision 2020’ would, for sure, see the light of the day, in reality, sooner than later.

In death, he shall be still alive in our hearts, evermore!!!

With tears,

Mangpha, Pu Kalam!!!

Adieu, Dr Kalam!!!

Manipur youth succumbs to accident injuries sustained in Gurgaon

NEW DELHI, JULY 30, 2015: A 25-year-old Manipuri youth, who had recently come to Gurgaon in search of a job, died while his friend sustained injuries after a recklessly driven BMW allegedly hit their scooty outside a petrol pump on MG Road. The accident happened in the wee hours of Friday when Ra Wunger Eijon and N Galengpam Twis Hung Themsen were returning to Gurgaon after having dinner at another friend’s place in Delhi, police said. The two youths were rushed to a private hospital by passersby, which referred Eijon to Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital where he died on Monday. The duo was not wearing helmets at the time of the accident.

An FIR was lodged against the BMW’s driver, who is yet to be identified, under sections 279 (rash driving) and 304-A (causing death by negligence) of the IPC only on Monday after Themsen and a group of youths from the North East, all of whom put up in rented accommodation in Sikandarpur, lodged a complaint at DLF-I police station.

However, cops said they are yet to identify the car or the driver as the registration number does not match with the colour of the BMW, as claimed by Themsen in his complaint. According to Themsen, who has managed to recollect the car’s registration number as DL-2711 only, the BMW was black coloured, while police claim that the number belongs to a white colour car.

Themsen said, “Eijon and I had gone to a friend’s house in Delhi for dinner around 11 pm on Thursday. We were returning home around 2 am when a speeding BMW came and collided with our scooty. We fell on the road. The driver did not stop to help us and just fled. Locals rushed us to the hospital.”

3 youths donated rice for flood victims in Manipur

MANIPUR, JULY 29, 2015 – It was an amazing zeal which sparked off in the minds of the young. The incessant rains and floods have caused devastating affects on the low-laying villages in Lamka town, CCpur, Manipur in the past week past.

An executive member of North East Support Centre & Helpline (NESCH) Delhi and a social worker Mr Khamlianlal @ Khams Zotal, Miss Lynda Zou of Bahrain, and Mr Anthony Khai of USA have donated money and bought rice which was freely distributed among the flood affected villages in Manipur, especially the neglected Zou villagers. The trio led by Mr Zotal carried the rice and hand it over the village chiefs on July 27.

History teller Pu Mangzathang passes away

ONE of the great ZO song composers and history tellers, Pu Mangzathang passed away at his home in Zoveng, Zehang Lamka, Manipur on Sunday morning, 26^th July, 2015.

Pupu MANGZATHANG of Zoveng, born on 27 Sept 1921 (as of record in his army I-card), served the British army as a soldier in Burma during the Second World War. He said he had pulled down one national flag and hand over to his superior, during invading Mandalay City, but he was neither awarded nor acknowledged. But remained a freedom fighter till his last breath!

He was the second eldest son of late Pu Goulian, amongst the four siblings – Pu Thangchinkhup, his eldest brother and his sister Pi Niangzam (wife of late Khupchinkam Mate, Chief of Tuibuang Village). 

“Be Bold and Be Brave, BUT be Very CLEVER in WHATEVER YOU DO,” he advised me last year, while having a cup of tea with him. He was an ex-serviceman and proud of being a brave soldier in Chin Regiment...... He refused my treat so he treated me treated me! That came to be the last....." he encouraged me (his grandson). 

Based on his experiences in the imperial services, he composed many ZO folk songs which have political overtones. 

One of his famous songs was TUIZUM MANGKANG.

(Pu Mangzathang Suantak Dopmul in Zogal a tapna la) 

Zou Gaal (1917-1919) : Resistance against the British

In simple word, Gaal means ‘war’.

The ZO tribesmen fought the British from 1917 to 1919. Hiangtam and Gotengkot Forts in Singngat sub-division of Churachandpur district were two the main centres of resistance among the Zous. Pu Doungul Taithul was the chief of Gotengkot, which was a fairly big and fortified Zou village. The ZO tribe boldly attempt to oust the white imperialist from their ancestral land ‘Zogam’. It led to a bloodshed war, in which many ZO leaders died in the hands of the British.

The forced raising of the Labour Corps from these areas was the main cause of the outbreak of the movement. To suppress this uprising the British Government spent more than 20 lakhs of rupees. 

Zou Gaal is also officially recorded as KUKI Rebellion (1917-1919) by the British.

Here is some of the folk songs composed by my grandfather pupu Mangzathang on the occasion of the revolt in our dialect:-

Tuizum Mangkang kiilbang hing khang,

Zota kual zilbang liing e;

Pianna ka gamlei hi e! phal sing e!

Ka naamtem hiam a, i Zogam lei laal ka naw,

Sansii’n zeel e!

Ngalliam vontawi ka lau lou lai e.

Free translation:

The seafaring White Imperialist coils like the ‘kill’ plant,

Tremors of earthquake do quiver the Zo world,

’Tis the land of my birth: I shall not part with it!

Stain’d with blood is my Sword

That has routed the adversaries of Zoland,

I shall yet fight with the wild Boar, injured.

 “This folk song of the Zou, reflecting the collective mind of the natives, indicated that the anti-imperial fervour was very high in 1918; and interestingly the Britishers were compared by the native mind with the wild Boar, or with a native wild creeper-plant called ‘kill’. Independent India justifiably took pride in its legacy of colonial resistance. In Manipur, the Palace uprising and Rani Gaidinlieu's movement are relatively well-known. However, the "Kuki Rising" and the participation of the Zou tribe was less well-known. The anti-colonial legacy of the Zou is a tribute to the multi-etnnic people of Manipur itself," wrote Dr David Vumlallian Zou, a history professor in Delhi University. 

Some of my pupu songs were:-
