Zomi Idol: Beyond Imposed Boundaries

Global Zomi Voice Echoes in Zomi Idol

Transcending the cocooned tribal mindset and thinking ahead, Pu T Gougin started pan-Zo or pan-Zomi solidarity movement to mobilise co-ethnic members or Zo people in Manipur, Mizoram and Myanmar in the 1950s. The movement eventually created a strong global Zo community and its aspirations to exist as one people cutting across all imposed boundaries found resonance in the Global Zomi Idol 2015.

TULSA, Oklahoma in the United States of America hosted the grand finale round of the much waited and coveted “Global Zomi Idol 2015 Contest” from 2-4 July, 2015. Marred by a few visa hiccups, the mega event otherwise made an impressive statement of unified Zomi people and its sustaining tradition in the face of westernization.

Seven popular and famous Zomi singers from all over the world — selected through contests held locally in countries with mared presence of Zomis – participated in the historic finale organised under the aegis of Zogam Artistes Association (India), Zomi Music Upliftment Society (Myanmar), and Global Zomi Inkuan (Zomi Community) USA. The list of the contestants was further narrowed down and the global event culminated at Tulsa.

Traditional Summer Fieldwork Begins in Thangkhal Hills

As winter slowly came to an end, the Thangkhal people began their work at the start of summer. These activities took place in the month of March 2018, when the cold winds faded and the hills became ready for labour once again. Men and women walked together to the steep slopes early in the morning, carrying simple tools, baskets, and food for the day.

The first task was clearing the fields. Burnt tree stumps and dry branches left after winter were removed, and the soil was loosened with care. Work was done in groups along the hillside, with everyone knowing their role. Some dug the earth, while others cleared the land to prepare it for rice cultivation.

By midday, the workers gathered on the open slope to rest. Meals were shared, stories were told, and gentle laughter echoed across the hills. These moments strengthened community bonds and renewed their energy.

These photos were shared by Rev. Thanglet, Pastor of S. Phaiza village, who was working closely with the villagers in preparing the rice fields.

Life in Thangkhal Hills

Life in the Thangkhal Hills is filled with smiles, hard work, and togetherness. In this beautiful land surrounded by hills, people live close to nature and to one another. Every season brings new work in the fields, but no one works alone — they work side by side, sharing laughter and simple joys.

In the photo, women rest under and upon a tree after a long day’s work. Their cheerful faces show the strength and unity of the Thangkhal community. They take pride in helping each other, whether it is farming, cooking, or caring for the young and the old.

Their way of life is peaceful and full of harmony. They may not have much in terms of wealth, but their hearts are rich with friendship, love, and understanding. The hills echo with their laughter and songs, a reminder that true happiness grows where people live in unity and peace.

Just a simple click that says a thousand words — a glimpse of love, labour, and life in the Thangkhal Hills.

No Update on ‘Found Dead’ Case of Mutey in Delhi | Sparshan Mahanta

New Delhi, Jan 02, 2018: The family of a 24-year-old Manipuri woman, Mutey (name changed), who was found dead in her rented room in Munirka, South Delhi, on November 9, 2017, is still waiting for answers. Despite repeated appeals, police have provided no updates on the case, raising concerns of negligence and delay in justice.

According to records, Mutey’s body was discovered at House No. 214, Room No. 2B, Second Floor, Munirka, and buried the next day at the Dwarka Christian Cemetery. She had been living with an Assamese man, Sparshan Mahanta, since April 2016. After her death, Mahanta allegedly went missing and remains untraceable.

The two had previously worked together in a BPO, but Mutey left her job due to poor health. Her family alleges that Mahanta neglected her medical needs and failed to provide proper care, contributing to her death. They also claim he confiscated her identity documents, educational certificates, and mobile phone.

A key witness, the house owner, stated that when Mutey was found, the ceiling fan was running and the door was locked from outside without a key. The family insists Mahanta should be interrogated, his phone numbers traced, and his movements investigated.

Police records name SI Deepchand of Vasant Vihar Police Station as the Investigating Officer. However, there has been no progress in locating Mahanta or pursuing leads, despite the family providing his mobile numbers and Facebook details indicating his employment as a Senior Tech Sales Manager at Infinity Geeks Solution.

The deceased, originally from Lamka, Manipur, came from a poor family. Her elder sister, who identified the body along with family friend Bruce K. Thangkhal (Media Incharge of North East Support Centre & Helpline, Delhi) is illiterate and survives on meagre earnings in Delhi.

The family has appealed to the Special Police Unit for North-Eastern Region (SPUNER) to intervene and ensure justice is served.

Zeliangrong FC and Hornbill FC to Clash for Tamchon Trophy on Dec 2

Hmar and Muvanlai FC Eliminate in Semi-finals

New Delhi, Nov 30, 2017 – In an intense semifinal of the 11th ONGC North-East Tamchon Football Tournament 2017, defending champions Hmar FC were defeated by Zeliangrong FC with a score of 1-0, and Muvanlai Athletics were edged out by Hornbill FC, also 1-0, at the Dr Ambedkar Stadium on Thursday evening (Nov 30).

The semifinal between Hmar FC and Zeliangrong FC proved to be a dramatic encounter. Unfortunately for Hmar, an own goal in the 23rd minute from their stopper, who inadvertently sent the ball into his own net while trying to defend, gave Zeliangrong the lead. Despite relentless efforts from Hmar to equalize, they couldn’t find the back of the net. Zeliangrong, on the other hand, did not extend their lead further. Both teams received one yellow card each during the match.

This loss adds to Hmar's two previous defeats in finals against Zeliangrong in 2008 and 2012. Zeliangrong, meanwhile, had lost to Muvanlai in last year's final.

In the second semifinal, Hornbill FC emerged victorious against Muvanlai Athletics with a 1-0 win. Hornbill's striker, Hemta, scored the only goal of the match in the 42nd minute, turning a well-placed pass into the goal. The match was highly charged with excitement and intense fan support for both teams. Muvanlai came close to scoring twice in the first half, but their shots were either blocked by the goalkeeper or hit the goalpost. Hornbill also had several attempts but couldn't convert them into goals.

As the final match approaches on December 2, Hmar FC will face Muvanlai FC for the third-place title at 2:00 PM, while Zeliangrong FC will battle Hornbill FC for the coveted Tamchon Trophy.

The winners will receive a trophy and a cash prize of Rs 5 Lakhs, while the runners-up will take home Rs 3 Lakhs. The third-place winners will earn Rs 2 Lakhs, and the quarter-finalists will each receive Rs 25,000.

NE Tamchon Football Semi Finalists 2017

Hmar, Zeliangrong, Hornbill, Muvanlai FC enters Semi Final

in Tamchon Football Tournament 2017

NEW DELHI, NOV 28, 2017: The Muvanlai Athletics thrashed Bodo FC 6-1 in the 4th quarter-final match and Hornbill FC defeated Indian Air Force by 2-0 in the 3rd quarter final match of the ongoing 11th ONGC North East Tamchon Football Tournament 2017 here in Dr Ambedkar Stadium on Tuesday (November 28).

In the match between Muvanlai FC and Bodo FC, Mr Bedeenpar opened the score for Muvanlai in the 19th minute, which was equalized by Mr Dilip of Bodo FC in the 28th minute. Though the two team locked horns tightly throughout the 1st half, no further scoring happen.

Muvanlai players began advancing towards the Bodo side soon after 2nd half. Within 10 minutes, Muvanlai striker Seiminmang earned the Hat-tricks -- one goal in 66th, another in 68th, and again in 72nd minute. After 4 minutes ago, Bedeenpar again netted the ball in 76th minute, and followed by Liengousang in the 79th minute. Seiminmang, whose first appearances in this tournament, has now earned a feathery cap of seven goals.

Bodo boys pulled up their sleeves strengthening their positions but could not turn into reality. However their goalie saved two possible goal-attempts from the wingers of Muvanlai.

In the second match, the Hornbill FC locked horns with Indian Air Force, the crowd expectation gradually faded away when the Hornbill boys dominated the play from the very beginning. The Hornbills has tactical skills and good in passing-off the ball, so much so that they often landed into the d-box of IAF. Mr Hemba opened account for Hornbill in the 8th minute.

There was an unfortunate moment for IAF boys. It was when one player of Muvanlai FC carried the ball upto the goalie, in trying to attempt away the goalie, he was slightly knocked down on the ground by the goalie. A yellow card and awarded penalty kick. Mr Akbar turned the penalty into goal in the 35th minute.

IAF boys tried hard in the 2nd half. They precisely missed two goals. The first was by the right winger, who forcefully kicked the ball from a short distance, but was blocked away by Muvanlai goalie. The second ball flew towards the goalie, from an indirect kicked from IAF, which was caught safely by the goalie. In yet another dangerously goal attempt by Hornbill FC, just nearby from the d-box of IAF side, the goalie of IAF dived and saved it. Till the end of fulltime no more ball longer rubs the goalnets.

On November 27, the Zeliangrong FC defeated Zogene FC by 2-1 in the 1st quater-final match, and Hmar FC defeated Sikkim by 3-1 in the 2nd quater-final match.

Hmar FC (Winner of 2013 & 2014), Zeliangrong FC (Winner of 2008 & 2012), Hornbill and Muvanlai FC (Winner of 2015 & 2016) entered the semi final.

Hmar FC will lock horns with Zeliangrong FC, while Hornbill FC will take on Muvanlai FC on 30 November 2017 at 10.30AM and 2:00PM.
