The Gathering Storm - IFP Editorial

Tribal chieftains particularly the Kuki groups are once again gathering forces to oppose the state’s policy on land resources and forests. It is quite evident in the formation of a new grouping titled Sadar Hills Tribals' Union on Land and Forest (SHITULF) whose stated objective is to protect land and forest in Sadar Hills from ‘external’ forces.

The new group includes among others tribal village chiefs, civil organisations like Sadar Hills Chiefs' Association (SAHILCA), Nongmaiching Area Chiefs/Chairman Khullakpa Association, Kuki Inpi Phailengmol, Island Block Development Committee, Bungpi Area Chiefs' Association and Vaiphei Peoples' Council Eastern Block.

The external forces they are talking about are the state government and forest laws of the country. They seek to challenge the state government’s intent to rationalise the overlapping boundaries of districts adjoining the Sadar Hills area in terms of both revenue and police jurisdiction besides the laws of the nation governing forest land, including reserve forests and protected forests. It is as if they do not recognise the state and its laws.

We will have to see how the state deals with this latest assertion. They had earlier claimed ownership rights over whole mountain ranges including reserved and protected forest areas. The claim of ownership over mountains have started in Sadar Hills and repeated in Thangjing hills in which villagers tried to prevent forest officials from afforestation drives.

It was one Tongmang Haokip, Chief of Saitu and also advisor of COPPK who claimed ownership of the whole range and he had quoted a document supposedly issued by Manipur State Durbar in 1947 in a FB post to buttress his claim over the mountain. What he conveniently forgot to mention was that a 33 square mile area including the Koubru range had been notified as Kanglatongbi-Kangpokpi Forest Reserve back in 1968 after considering all claims and objections from the surrounding villages, as per the Indian Forest Act, 1927.

We had predicted then similar claims would crop up in other areas also including Thangjing hill range. And the organisations who tried to prevent the tree plantation drive in Thangjing tried to paint a communal angle to it by terming it as a sort of intrusion by valley based individuals and groups. The basic question is, who are they to restrict or allow people in and out of the mountain ranges? How could one claim to own a mountain? It is simply ridiculous.

Till today, the people of Manipur regard Mt Koubru and Mt Thangjing as sacred mountains in the state. And the communities living in the state should be alive to the geo-political reality of ‘Ching-Pat-Turel’ and affinity with hills, lakes and rivers which is very inherent in a shared historical experience through the ages. As we said before, there simply should not be such a thing as ‘ancestral land’ in a composite state like ours and anybody who flags such terms always has an ulterior agenda. They should rather be questioning themselves on what they have done so far for conservation and upkeep of the land or mountains or rivers they are claiming to own.

Land and territory is a dear thing for individuals and groups, even in the animal kingdom. Everyone tries to zealously guard their land and territory. But, any claim has to be backed by proper land records and verifiable documents. Just as the valley people respect the land rights of the people in the hills, the hill people also need to respect the land rights of the valley people, also.

It would be considered unwise if the hill dwellers go on claiming every mound and molehill as their ancestral land. The issue of land reforms in the hills had been made very complicated over the years by some powerful lobbies by spicing it with wrong notions of indigenous land rights, an imagined threat perception of the valley people coming to settle in the hills, and of course flavours of sentiment while all the time sidelining the rights of common people in the hills with regard to individual land ownership.

Heartbreak for SYMROPIA FC as KFA Jr. claimed big win to enter quarter-final; Football 4 Change also advance despite 1-0 lost to Golngai FC

📝 By : Seiminlun Kipgen
January 23, 2023 (Monday)
---------------------------------

In a major turnaround in Group A, Kuki Football Academy Junior of Sadar Hills claimed an unlikely but a well-deserved 3-0 win against Pehlum Lamhil Lawm Academy to steal knock-out place from SYMROPIA FC while Saikul's Football 4 Change also booked a place for the next round despite lost in today's group-stage actions of the ongoing Zomi Nam Ni Platinum Jubilee Cup 2023, played at Lamka Public Ground, Churachandpur.

In today's first match between Golngai FC, who were playing their first match of the tournament, and Saikul's Football 4 Change, neither sides were unable to break the deadlock throughout the match but deep into second-half injury-time, Football 4 Change defender Sei Joseph Haokip inadvertently struck his own net as he attempted to clear a lofted free-kick with late header that gifted Golngai FC a valuable 1-0 win. However, this defeat has little to do with Football 4 Change as they still confirmed their place for knock-out round thanks to their unassailable goal-difference record.

In a highly crucial second match, Kuki Football Academy Junior were assigned a hercules task of winning by atleast 3 goals to advance through to the next round with SYMROPIA FC waiting from the driving seat. The match started and despite having nothing to fight for, PLL Academy showed strong resistance and went toe-to-toe with their rushing opponents but Kuki Football Academy Junior got the much-needed breakthrough midway through the first-half courtesy of a brilliant free-kick by Seivanglen. Just 7 minutes into the second-half, Kuki Football Academy Junior got their second goal through Paoboilen and that renewed belief inspired KFA Jr. to go further to the dreamland but PLL Academy boys made life difficult for them throughout and fought with all might despite having nothing to win from the match but for a professional sake and there were growing anticipation that the match would eventually draw to a conclusion with a 2-0 win for KFA Jr but Seivanglen completed the turnaround for Kuki Football Academy Junior as his clever finish 4 minutes from time had all but earned his side a place into the quarter-final with a priceless 3-0 win.

A 3-0 win might have given KFA Jr. an overwhelming joy for securing quarter-final place but it in-turn proved a hammer-blow to SYMROPIA FC as the AMFA Cup outfit, who were considered strong contenders, crashed out on inferior goal-score.

📃 Group A final table :
Pos. Team    Played    Pts. GD
1. Lamka SC       03       09   +4
2. KFA Jr.             03       04   +1
3. SYMROPIA     03       04   +1
4. PLL Academy 03      00    -6

Both Kuki Football Academy Junior and SYMROPIA FC are locked with equal points and goal-difference record but the former have pipped the latter by a better goal-forward (GF).

Bangalore Christian Fellowship holds Tuesday Worship for Working Youths

TO MAKE it easier for those working in the private sector, the Bangalore Christian Fellowship (BCF) Church holds its worship service every Tuesday from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM.

The church was established in 2011 and is built on two Bible verses: “Thus far the Lord has helped us” (1 Samuel 7:12b) and “For this God is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end” (Psalm 48:14). 

This year’s theme is: “Called to Follow in Jesus’ Steps” (based on 1 Peter 2:21).

Most of the church members are young people from the Kuki community of Manipur. The fellowship is lovingly led by Pastor Emmanuel, who is known for his humble and dedicated service.

“We hold the service on Tuesdays because many of these young people work in private companies and are off on that day. They can’t always attend church on Sundays,” Pastor Emmanuel explained.

We three students — two doctoral students and one BD student from United Theological College, Bengaluru — attended the service today (10 January 2023) and were blessed by the warm fellowship and spirit-filled worship.

During the worship service, we were also warmly welcomed by the pastor and given ample time to introduce ourselves to the congregation.

Rev. MG Nehlian shared the Word of God, offering a message of encouragement and spiritual reflection in line with the church’s theme.

It was surprising to meet my own closest childhood friend from our native place, who was actively participating in the service by operating the presentation slides and assisting the church in other capacities. Memories of our long bygone days and cheerful moments together came flooding back.

After the service, we had a lovely time chatting and sipping cold drinks with Pastor Emmanuel, his wife, and several church members — a time of warm conversations and meaningful connections.

Finally, we headed back to our college campus, leaving with a memory of the day that we’ll cherish for a long time.

The church continues to be a place of worship, encouragement, and connection for these working youths in the heart of Bangalore.

Here are some moments we captured....

Group D blessed with easiness

📝 By: Seiminlun Kipgen
January 10, 2023 (Tuesday)
=======================
The Zomi Namni Platinum Jubilee Cup 2023 edition is just few hours away from kick-off and with teams from highly balanced Group A and Group B all busy picking up players of their choices and exploring last options, let us shift our focus on Group C and Group D in this last edition of pre-tournament analysis.

Comparing to Group A and B, Group C looks a little bit easy for Manipur State League giants United Khawzim Brothers as it contains All Kwakta Sports Association (AKSA) and Headquarters Athletics Union (HAU).

United Khawzim Brothers are by-far the most successful clubs in Churachandpur in terms of grading in Manipur State League as they reached the semi-final and quarter-final stages in two full seasons they played. Apart from their strong show in all district level open football tournaments and their rich history, they are hot favourites to reach the knock-out round from Group C taking into account they have never failed to reach the quarter-final in all of the tournaments they played since 2016 and their last silverware being the champions of the much fan-fare Raja Goukhothang Guite Football Memoriam 2020.

Meanwhile, All Kwakta Sports Association (AKSA) are DFA Moirang champions and had recently played Manipur State Winners' Cup and with them making few quality addition into their squad, they are expected to show stiff competition for both UKB and Headquarters Athletic Union.

Headquarters Athletic Union are one of the fastest growing clubs in Churachandpur as they earned promotion every single season and as recently as last season, they earned a promotion to Churachandpur District Super Division League. Having been inspired by such rapid success and with the addition of some promising youngsters in the shape of Classic Football Academy duo Tongminsei Kipgen and Lunjason as well as KLASA FC's Paominchon and Muvanlai Athletics' Thangsanglen, they are considered to have been capable of inflicting pain to both UKB and AKSA to force their way to the next round.

Over in Group D, the pairing of Football 4 Change with unproven Golngai FC and Dynamic Football Academy seems a blessing for the Saikul outfit as they emerged firm favourites in what has been considered the easiest pool of the group-stage. Football 4 Change just had a strong campaign in the recently concluded AMFA Cup and alongside Classic Football Academy, they are considered the most advanced and well-organized football academies in Manipur. Football 4 Change also wrote history last week as they participated in All India U-17 Youth League 2022-23 playing at Kolkata and under all such inspiring stories, they will be setting their foot once again at Lamka Public Ground to follow their steps in the recent SSPP Platinum Jubilee Tournament 2021 where they were eliminated in the pre-quarter final by Lamka Sports Club. With Football 4 Change, favourites to go through, another football academy on the rise from Churachandpur namely Dynamic Football Academy will be pushing high for strong campaign as the newly established football academy are raring to improve on their pre-quarter finish in 15th Seikam Memorial Open Football Tournament 2022. Meanwhile, Golngai FC, who are a surprise participant, will make a show to introduce themselves as they appeared strangers to many.
