Present Scenario of the Indigenous People of Twipra/Tripura,
[11/29/2009]

Being an indigenous people of Twipra/ Tripura we all know very well that the State was ruled by hundred and eighty-four kings of the indigenous Borok people since long and was merged with independent India on 15 October 1949 by the Tripura Merger Agreement. The Borok People, geographically or territorially known as Tiprasa the aboriginal ethnic group comprise of Debbarma, Reang, Jamatia, Rupini, Koloi, Uchui, Noatia, Halam, Hrangkhwal, Ranglong, Kaipeng, Molsom, Lushai, Murasing, Mog, Bongcher, Choroi, Darlong, Kochesandthe, Chiran, korbong like. Before the partition of Indian subcontinent India & Pakistan in the year 1947, 99% of populations were indigenous Twipra people. The area of Twipra is 10,491.69 Sq. Km. The Latitude and Longitude of Tripura is 2345' N & 91 30' E respectively. The vicinity of Twipra is almost surrounded by the Bangladesh for a length of 856 Km. on the North, South & West Side and on the east part is border with Assam for a length of 53 Km and Mizoram for a length of 109 Km. According to the 2001 census the total populations of Tripura recorded at 31, 99, 203 out of which 9, 93,426 persons are Scheduled Tribes constituting 31.1%of the total population. The population growth of Twipra dramatically changed because of huge and continuous migration and influx of refugees from across the border, which developed the indigenous population into minority in their motherland. This demographic change has never happened in any state of India and very rare history in the Global too. As a result there is a threat to our Mother tongue, culture, customs, economy and religions etc.
It has been observed that in this busy life every people are running for their respective destination /busy task likewise Twipra people too. But as an indigenous people of Twipra we all have extra responsibility besides our livelihood at present scenario. Its found that some indigenous people mostly those who are in Govt. service, send their children at Aguli ( Agartala) for education in various renowned Schools/ Institutions and later on some Guardian like to settle at Aguli in rented house for their Childrens education . Some of them are very hungry to purchase the Land at Agartala for permanent living. It is also seen that they have to invest excessive rate to acquire the same. Those indigenous people who have settled earlier at Agartala are very much intent to send their children to Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai etc. to attain best higher Education . Its also observed, they are very fond of construction like Taj- Mohal /big and nice Building for their living as well as for rent purpose with huge amount. Those service holders indigenous people who have once settled at Aguli they never returned back at their respective native village, even they have rare visit and as a result there is huge crisis in villages in every field.
All such busy people like, Doctors are busy for their patient, Engineers are busy for their Official work and others activities, Civil Service Officers are busy with their Official work and other also busy with their family task and other works etc.
Another issue left to highlight is that maximum tribal Students of Twipra are seems to be very much ridiculous /unsocial such as they are found at every park with couple wearing fashionable dresses, short pant etc., riding heavy Bikes with couple, roaming at fancy Shopping Molls unnecessarily, some of them are looking with addicted conditions too. There is certain limitation in every case but they seem to have crossed the danger zone.
Some parents are really hesitated to keep their children names in their own Mother tongue and dont want to posses more than two children in the family despite of having greater supportive capability. It seems most of the indigenous people have forgotten to wear their customary dresses except in particular occasions only. Another point is to be mentioned that nowadays wealthy people of Twipra are very much eager to extent their property by making Rubber Garden and its related works.
I am not against of such activities neither for staying or studying at Agartala / abroad nor for their Western fashionable style but really what I want to say is that everybody should be conscious about our destination. Can we imagine in this age of globalization what will be the position of our community in comparison to other indigenous people? Whenever you get the scope you should utilize the full implementation of your right choice.
In case of Politician of Indigenous people of Twipra, they are very much aggressive to divide the regional party in order to form separate Indigenous party like INPT, NCT, IPFT, etc. despite of strengthening the unity of Regional Party.
Recently the Political party called IPFT demanded to make separate state by considering the area of TTAADC only. But I think it will be wiser to demand above 50% majority of legislature/ services or in every case should be reserved for Indigenous People of Twipra by enacting Indian constitution, considering the most special case instead of separate state.
Another very important issue in connection with implementation of Forest Right Act.-06, in what circumstance the Gana Mukti Parishad has agreed to reform the Proposal of Forest Right Act.-06.
On the other hand various Sub Tribes of Twipra also interested to form a new Society, like Jamatia Hoda, Tripuri society, Tipra Khatoro Dofa, Rupini society, Chakma Society, Mog society, Murasing society etc.
Some of this influential people are very self-centered and much reluctant with the present condition of Indigenous people of Twipra. They dont want to spent their little bit of time for such burning national issues. If the situations run in such manners/ directions, there will be none to take the responsibility to protect such irregularities for the greater interest of indigenous fraternity. We all know Divide and Rules policy is thrown in our destiny by the enemies. It is also fact that some of the intellectual people try to over come such burning issues but which seems to be lengthy process. However, I reiterate to point that we shall overcome one day if dedicated people come forward bravely to achieve our legitimate demands.
As a well wisher of Indigenous people, the present situation arose some questions in my mind which I like to highlight here for every readers/citizen of indigenous people of Twipra:-
(1) Why the indigenous people of Twipra are not interested to keep their name in their own Mother tongue?
(2) Why most of the indigenous people of Twipra not interested to wear their traditional dresses?
(3) Why the traditional religion systems of Twipra, like Rondog khuluma, Chibrui Mutai, Goria Mutai, Wathop etc. called Hinduism? Is it not an own Tripuri religious system?
(4) Why most of the wealthy indigenous people of Twipra not interested to possess more than one or two Children? Is it indispensable especially for us?
(5) Why most of the indigenous people not adopting the traditional/ customary marriage system of Twipra?
(6) As an icon of Twipra Kingdom whether the Maharaja, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarman Should go for early marriage life before entry in strong Politics in view of keeping the longevity of generation in memory of Ruler by 184 Kings.
(7) Whether the indigenous people of Twipra is shining/ progressing because of Indian Idol, Miss Sourabhee Debbarma, World Class Tennis Player, Mr. Somdev Debbarman and First Indigenous Female IAS Officers from Twipra Mrs. Tanushree Debarma?
(8) Whether the India Govt. or Tripura Govt. responsible for huge influx of foreign national in Twipra?
(9) Whether the State Government or TPSC responsible for huge vacancies in various Department of Tripura, in spite of having qualified ST unemployed?
(10) Whether the indigenous people of Twipra does not know the ideology of 'United we stand, Divided we fall'?

".. Nice Writings.But brother make all debbarma stand together before we call united among all boroks.
Your questions are answered as below and i tried to my best not to refer any person except the last one.
1) Why the indigenous people of Twipra are not interested to keep their name in their own Mother tongue?
==>Because King of Tripura always teaches us in bengali
(2) Why most of the indigenous people of Twipra not interested to wear their traditional dresses?
==>>This is a modern world,no need to go back 200 years back
but we all wear our traditional dress at home
(3) Why the traditional religion systems of Twipra, like Rondog khuluma, Chibrui Mutai, Goria Mutai, Wathop etc. called Hinduism? Is it not an own Tripuri religious system?
===>Tripura kingdom was a Hindu Kingdom like Nepal
(4) Why most of the wealthy indigenous people of Twipra not interested to possess more than one or two Children? Is it indispensable especially for us?
==>Because they are all corrupt either in behaviour or in mentality
(5) Why most of the indigenous people not adopting the traditional/ customary marriage system of Twipra?
==>Many do that but majority Debbarmas follow bengalis(sorry I am not telling this just because i am a Reang)
(6) As an icon of Twipra Kingdom whether the Maharaja, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarman Should go for early marriage life before entry in strong Politics in view of keeping the longevity of generation in memory of Ruler by 184 Kings.
==>No point of having his generation.The king divided us and spoiled our races by not educating us...so whats the point of expecting too much about our living prince pradyut???
(7) Whether the indigenous people of Twipra is shining/ progressing because of Indian Idol, Miss Sourabhee Debbarma, World Class Tennis Player, Mr. Somdev Debbarman and First Indigenous Female IAS Officers from Twipra Mrs. Tanushree Debarma?
===>Yes because of sourabhee.But somdev considers himself as bengali and Tanushree already became Telegu.....so pls dont talk big abt them.
(8) Whether the India Govt. or Tripura Govt. responsible for huge influx of foreign national in Twipra?
==>>Only we the tripuris are responsible.
(9) Whether the State Government or TPSC responsible for huge vacancies in various Department of Tripura, in spite of having qualified ST unemployed?
==>We do responsible for it also as we never raise our voices.
(10) Whether the indigenous people of Twipra does not know the ideology of 'United we stand, Divided we fall'?
==>They all know but our leaders have proven again and again that they are corrupt.Example:Mr Harinath was CEO of ADC.He got his son(second timer in H.S.+2) Medical seats in Pandicherry through Chief minister quota and now he is trying another trick to mislead the common people. .."

".. @Indosekhar Reang, indo_reang@yahoo.in
Wow, great for your good writing too.
But I defer with some of your points.
How can you say (Maharaja) Pradyot's generation as useless and is of no use depending, it can be just the opposite, I even don't rule out your children either.
Is traditional dress to be worn only inside the houses? Is wearing traditional dress outside same as going 200 years back????
Yes Harinath may have used his power then, but you can't site this example in general and also their might be several other good contribution of harinath.
Tripura Kingdom didn't start from bengali influence, and Tripura Kingdom started practicing hindusism only after their influence, prior to that we practice our own indigenous religion, Just by some king following doesn't make us Hindu.
Before hinduism came to Tripura, Rondok, maluma, khuluma were their and is still there.

".. Thank you asok for your reply.
A good man with many good qualities are judged by only one small tiny mistake(I am refering to Mr.Ex Ceo Harinath).You know his son has no feeling for twiprasa.Even he got married to other community.Anyway sorry no personal attacks.I also like beautiful indian women.
I can see every youngsters are inherited with the knowledge of Tripura kingdom and worship them so much,but do you know how much they might think of us????,None.
Had Dasarath dev not introduced the education system in tripura,we would not have been educated.I only can give credit to certain christian missionaries and our ex CM,late Dasarath deb.
whatever,Tripura was sold to Govt of India by Kanchanprabha devi,instead of agreement.can you accept it?
Many times Respected Maharani enjoyed the home ministership and our Late Kirit bikram maharaja was MP.
what contribution they made out of this even in this modern world?Forget about the past histories.No such great warriors or idols are our kings in world history.
I have no grudge respecting the great generation of Tripura king but we common people should take up issues together unitedly for educations,jobs,land rights etc.....Can't just think of Pradyut will do that for us,he will change our future etc.We have to trust ourself before trusting some one who sold off our kingdom to other govt.
Doing a worship the way we do is also a part of hinduism i would say.If not hinduism then what?Taoism,budhism,christianity???
how do I address our mwtai?How do I identify our religion.Sorry if anyone of you can tell me that those worships were called Tripuri Religion or something,I would proudly announce myself.But no such proofs or script were available about tripura.
So better think of future in this globalized world.We need education,jobs,development.And these are possible only through modern teachings,English education with science influence.

".. Dear
Indosekhar Reang, indo_reang@yahoo.in
First of all I like to thank for such comments & answers and also for spending your valuable time in this context. Lets get together for uniting among the Debbarmas before united all BOROK.
However, in few cases I am not fully agreed with you.
1) Why the indigenous people of Twipra are not interested to keep their name in their own Mother tongue?
I. Reang==>Because King of Tripura always teaches us in Bengali
J. Debbarma=>Everyone can speak their own mother tongue. There were so many Twipra king
with the name of in their own mother tongue.
(3) Why the traditional religion systems of Twipra, like Rondog khuluma, Chibrui Mutai, Goria Mutai, Wathop etc.
called Hinduism? Is it not an own Tripuri religious system?
I. Reang ===>Tripura kingdom was a Hindu Kingdom like Nepal
J. Debbarma=> Tripura kingdom was a Hindu Kingdom but what I mentioned like Rondog khuluma,
Chibrui Mutai, Goria Mutai, Wathop etc. that you may not call as Hinduism as its our own ritual system of Twipra.
(6) As an icon of Twipra Kingdom whether the Maharaja, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarman Should go for
early marriage life before entry in strong Politics in view of keeping the longevity of generation in memory of
Ruler by 184 Kings.
I. Reang ==>No point of having his generation.The king divided us and spoiled our races by not educating
us...so whats the point of expecting too much about our living prince pradyut???
J. Debbarma=> There were few Kings in our Twipra Kingdom who understand our reality/
necessity and accordingly done great job for us but some of them really spoiled
our races by not educating us . Perhaps it may not be happened in case of our
Prince Pradyot and we are expecting many more from him.
(7) Whether the indigenous people of Twipra is shining/ progressing because of Indian Idol, Miss Sourabhee
Debbarma, World Class Tennis Player, Mr. Somdev Debbarman and First Indigenous Female IAS Officers
from Twipra Mrs. Tanushree Debarma?
I. Reang ===>Yes because of sourabhee.But somdev considers himself as bengali and Tanushree
already became Telegu.....so pls dont talk big abt them.
J. Debbarma=> Dear friend dont be negative. Lets see in near future how much sacrifices they
can contribute for our indigenous people of Twipra as well as for our country.

Thank you for your remarkable message.
1. I personally could not accept in my mind to scarifies the area of non ADC i.e. 3, 359.13 Sq.Km. and for which if necessary we have to contribute Blood also. Moreover, what will be the future of our 2 Lacs Borok people?
2. If I proceed in that way I must be felt myself as a loser.
3. What I want to reflect in my Article is that, we will be enough stronger if above 50% reservation is created.
4. We are not getting our 31% reservation in many fields till date because of our character.
5. Another point is that why not all the regional parties get united to form one Regional party to raised this demand, is it not wise?
6. Lastly I would like to request everyone:

".. the comment and replies are really interesting and also true but some point i cant accept.
1>king not promoting education:
yes,to rule a kingdom uneducation is necessary.any part of kingdom till date have not given enough educational right to the citizen.but its tripuri king(though it may be late)had taken step to educate his people by opening school and colleges(umakanta and MBB) WHICH KING especially in NE has taken such step.late maharaja(bir bikram)knows very well about the changing world in order to compete with the modern world he even introduced modernity in tripura.no other such king has done in the region.dont forget its he who reserved tribal land in tripura.
2>Indigenous god as hindu god:
it can never be accepted by me.I never introduced myself as hindu rather then indigenous religion .Its india's religious policy,like any other powerful country who want their religion to be majority ,they to started giving huindu identity to all the tribal which both worship hindu as well indigenous.the indian constitution had given budhism and shikism under the hindusim clearly show india's religious policy. The world religion map has underlined our area(NE)as tribal religion.but now only tripuris some khasis and assam tribal worshiped the indigenous god under hindu identity.even Manipuri people also learned this policy and they too want there religion identity(worshiping of sanamani) which is not a part of hinduism.so its our duty to get our own religion name and we should be proud to accept it.
3>politics:
politician are never considered good.even the freedom fighter are criticized by his own people.but we r nt foolish enough to b fool by the politician ,who for their survival n hungry of power create sush misleading theories.
what will we gain by separation ? will the insurgency will totally end or our fate will b like the state where both govt n people r ruled by insurgency, without development and corruption. in this trouble we are not united will there will b unity after statehood.this is my question to da people who support separation.greater autonomy can only bring peace n development in da region.
4>Traditional name and marriage:
tripuri custom at present is mixed.marring under bedi(made of 7 risa or more)n twilumani is the traditional way of debbarmas marriage apart from it lampra wathup/uathup khulum mani n twi tan mani is also our custom n 98% follows it.kwina done n feri in fire nay b hindu custom which too is followed in marriage.so no question of following hindus.giving name is personal choice b4 our people used to give name in mother tongue5>fame n name:
we tripuris never want our neighbour popularity.we had never praised our late singer SD Barman n RD Barman,many of our new generation not even know about them.the same thing we r doing today saying them as telugo or bangali(tanusree or somdev).but never forgot them as they r the representative of our state.Try to respect them.
tripura n tripuris dont need such burning argument ,what we need today is a real revolutionary(not insurgency)but a real well wisher of tripura."r we ready to change it, than lets hold our hand together"

Now when there is no separate state do you think whole Tripura belongs to you ??
Is there a one district/sub-division/block where you can say this is totally ours??

".. (1) Why the indigenous people of Twipra are not interested to keep their name in their own Mother tongue?
Who said Indigenous people are not interested to keep their name in their own mother tongue anymore? Our majority Tiprasa people have realised their faults/mistakes now,whatever the reason behind it and which,I dont wont like to elaborate here!
So,nowadays we do have numerous of our children named as Siyari,Yapri,Rwsa,Laisa,Aichuk,Nokbar,Salka etc in our society!
2) Why most of the indigenous people of Twipra not interested to wear their traditional dresses?
---I know this is a modern world,but still I always find a lot of our Tribal women on the roads of Agartala and other places,who are beautifully draped in their traditional Rwgnai-Rwsa everyday.
Even Takhuk Sourabhee Debbarma,the present Indian Idol 4 didnt hesitate or feel shy to wear a Rwgnai Chamathwi on her Lifes 1st ever performance in an international acclaimed music reality show like Indian Idol. I would rather say the problem lies just in some of our other youths who are found in the most unusual awkward dresses at times . But I agree and sympathize with them too....Its not possible for them to wear Rwgnai/Rwsa/traditiona dress and go to their Colleges,schools or at their works,unless we the Tribals have our own say in the policy and decision making process in a particular place. And not all of our Tripuris are like that and have spikes,wear cargoes,or skimpy shorts.There is a thing which we all people probably are unaware and it is called FASHION & Clothes are to be changed according to weather!
(3) Why the traditional religion systems of Twipra, like Rondog khuluma, Chibrui Mutai, Goria Mutai, Wathop etc. called Hinduism? Is it not an own Tripuri religious system?
---Well I dont know why Goria,Rondok Mwtai and all are considered Part of Hinduism and whether they should be considered as part of hinduism as im not a Scholar nor an Intellectual myself..and there arent any accurate and reliable source or data to prove who and which group is right and who is wrong?
But at the end of the day,
Myself Yes,I was born Hindu and I will die as a Hindu! But I being a Hindu,I dont mean I will worship all those Idol Gods & Godesses,but yes I will worship Baba Goria,Rondok and Holong Mwtai as they are my own. And I cant let it fade or disappear away at all,with passage of time.
4) Why most of the wealthy indigenous people of Twipra not interested to possess more than one or two Children? Is it indispensable especially for us? Farsightedness
---At one point of time,the trend and policies was itself like, that Two(2) child per family policy become the norm all of a sudden, which was meant to counter the menace of Population explosion,and to avoid a CHINA like situation in India..I think our Tiprasas are not to be blamed for it,Rather the Central and the State Govt is to be blamed for such Policies which lacked far-sightedness and I feel was brought in to existence keeping in mind the Population of UP,Bihar and the Illegal Settlers who migrated to Tripura,but not keeping in mind our TRIPURIS!
(5) Why most of the indigenous people not adopting the traditional/ customary marriage system of Twipra?
---Who said the Debbarmas are at all violating the traditional/customary marriage system and avoiding it?? Let me 1st make some things clear to you. Plz dont include the Debbarman/Dev verma/Deb burman peoples in the Debbarma group or our fellow tribal Christians,while citing such controversial examples.
Now coming to the point,Infact I was very delighted/impressed and really touched when I get to see such marriage system are still prevalent and existing,among us now also,(Bedi dumwi kailaimung,Wathop,Twi Lumani)that too in a place like Agartala..I have attended many such wedding receptions in wedding houses like Chandramahal,Mangalik,Brideway etc. So I was citing from that personal experience.
Even Our present Maharajas Sister got married in that way in Kolkata.and the guest were served Awan bangwi.
And plz mr Reang,Stop such things like.You Debbarmas follow bengalis .
U reek of Division and communalism. I myself being from a Debbarma community,I never quoted like that or as such You Reangs,you Jamatias in any of my comments anywhere. Infact I feel we all the 19 tribes of Tripura are one and are from the same mother and family!
6) As an icon of Twipra Kingdom whether the Maharaja, Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarman Should go for early marriage life before entry in strong Politics in view of keeping the longevity of generation in memory of Ruler by 184 Kings?
---Yes our Bubagra should seriously start thinking of his marriage plans/options from right now. And I would be one of the happiest lot,if he decides to get one of our Tripuri Bride for himself(Now here by Tripuri I dint include only the debbarmas,but it includes the other tribes of Tripura also) ,although alas seriously I feel,there aint any one among our gals to be a perfect match before him.
(7) Whether the indigenous people of Twipra is shining/ progressing because of Indian Idol, Miss Sourabhee Debbarma, World Class Tennis Player, Mr. Somdev Debbarman and First Indigenous Female IAS Officers from Twipra Mrs. Tanushree Debarma?
---Yes Tripura is indeed Shining but the Progressing thing will really depend on this particular individuals Hardwork ,dedication and significant contribution towards their own blood and people,(ie.the sons of the soil!) ----No matter what & whom they marry in their life!!
(8) Whether the India Govt. or Tripura Govt. responsible for huge influx of foreign national in Twipra?
---Yes ,the State Govt and the Central Govt is to be blamed for this deplorable mess and situation and we also cant forget at all the the contribution of our Blind,Selfish and Brain washed Leaders among our Tribals also, who simply protested and refused to extradite the illegal settlers from Bangladesh to some other place in mainland India like Andaman and Nicobar,Madhya pradesh for example, despite the centres inclination.
(9) Whether the State Government or TPSC responsible for huge vacancies in various Department of Tripura, in spite of having qualified ST unemployed?
For the huge vacancy of govt. post lying vacant and idle with the various depts.,
---Its again Politics! I would tactfully say sir ! So,i dont think you would want me to elaborate further on this?? Ryt!
(10) Whether the indigenous people of Twipra does not know the ideology of 'United we stand, Divided we fall'?
---I agree and I am sure that these leaders all know and understand but tell me how are you gonna fight the Evil forces operating around you and our intellectual leaders?? Who are constantly keeping a hawk eye on you and are always eagerly looking and waiting for that one single reason and mistake or opportunity through the help of which it can cripple,strike you badly and totally brain wash u!
If you can prescribe the concrete solution for this thing some day,from that day itself,this quote will come in to existence in the land of Tripura!
And yes, some of our leaders are indeed Corrupt,concerned only about their selfish vested interest. Infact some of them have even made it like a profession thing for life time.
But Tell me,who isnt Corrupt in this 21st century world and wouldnt be at any point of time in his life? The world today is itself like that! Money speaks everywhere..So thats why, no damn person on this world, can hardly resist themselves from this fabulous temptation! Not even me and even you!!

".. see we follow our own religion indigenous religion (Animism) long before the influence of Hinduism.
It's personal choice whether you accept 'Hinduism' or 'Christianity' or any religion.
But it is wrong to impose religion (on anything) on someone/society, we are not Hindu by birth but we are made and forced to write and accept Hinduism, by the Hindu majority govt. And neither am I telling we are Christian by birth.
Some god/goddesses might resemble, that doesn't mean it is hindu god.
In christian St Joseph is considered the saint (god equivalent in hindu) of carpenter/worker, so does it mean now St Josheph is god Biswakarma of hindu. .."

".. See i dont want to get deep inside to this controversy!!! that's why,i had said,i was born a hindu and i will die as a Hindu...!!
may be it was some tribal god which we worshipped centuries back..but since its hinduism now...i think we cant help! but continue worshipping it,irrespective of whethr it was imposed or not...otherwise if we stop worshiping, giving a lame excuse/reason,that it's some other's and it was forcefully imposed on us by some evil forces! that's wrong acc. to me..and we are prone to losing our idendity and culture!
I know,many people after hearing my words would say,that dis are all work of a devil which is inside me! but i dont mind! .."

".. hello indosekar,
what is your point about religion and language while i agree with a few of your points there are certain points which you dont seem to realise.
First the kings of Tripura also promoted the 14 gods and godesses.
Kanchan prabha devi did not sell tripura this move was initiated after news that Durjoy Karta and certain elements in East Pakistan(Bangladesh) were to attack tripura and take control of it.You dont sell your country for a privy purse of 3 lakhs and give away total powers.
Pradyot manikya is a good and sinciere tiprasa and a ideal role model he has helped a lot of youth and my brother and cousin have also benifited .He is humble and cares for our people and i know that for sure regarding his marrage he has already said that he would like to marry from the east in an interview in Tripura times.We should appriciate the good work and sincierty he has shown .
Finally bru's ,borok's garos' halams first of all we need to unify under educated and deciesive leadership or at best we will remain warriors without aim.
I agree with ur passion and like things you have raised i hope after hearing mine you can agree with me just as i have with some points u have raised .."

".. It was very interesting to go through the 'Equal and Opposite Reactions". What ever may be the name, culture, custom, religion, cast, creed etc., it doesn't matter. At this juncture of globalization and scientific world one has to think again and again that
time has gone, time is present and time will come accompnying the Greatest Message " Where am I and who am I?". We all will be blamed for thecause as we do today.Whynotwe render our service selflesly in bringing unity among us and fight back the evil spirit before the light puts off. Yeah, I do agree the Principle of separate state, and we have to sacrifice our livesforthe betterment of our future generation and the time is no other than now. Think deeply what has the government done for us.We are the begger now seeking jobs and shelter with no fixed destination. It is we who suppose to do these. So brotheren do dedicate your little bit of time in saving our future generation as non of us can escape the disease of slow poisoning by the ruling government. .."
