  • JNEIC Volume 4, Number 2, 2019 | 58 the Dilemma of the Bishnupriya
    The Dilemma of the Bishnupriya Identity Naorem Ranjita* Abstract Ethnic identity is a dynamic, multidimensional construct that refers to one's identity, or sense of self, as a member of an ethnic group. The reconstruction of an identity interacts with historical and social identities in the contemporary world. What is intend to discuss in this article is the reconstruction of the Bishnupriya identity in Manipur, and study it against the Bishnupriyas living outside Manipur. The Bishnupriyas remaining in Manipur prefer to be identified as 'Manipuri Meiteis' rather than Bishnupriyas and the logic for this is presumably the perceptions of Bishnupriyas as migrants by the Meiteis. On the other hand, the Bishnupriyas living beyond Manipur, namely in Tripura, Assam, and parts of Bangladesh, would rather be identified as 'Bishnupriya Manipuris', as an attempt to link their identity with the people of Manipur. An observation throughout this paper leads us to reflect upon what the assertion by the Bishnupriyas that 'they' (the Bishnupriyas) are the 'first cultural race' or the 'first settlers' of Manipur and that the Meiteis to be the 'next immigrants'. This speculation has created much doubt and conflict between the Meiteis and the Bishnupriyas. KEYWORDS: Bishnupriya, Meiteis, Manipur Introduction 'The North Eastern part of India is referred to as a melting pot of Mongoloid, Australoid, and Caucasoid populations, which is exhibited in the unique socio-cultural diversity of the region’ (Langstieh et al., 2004: 570). Given the hypothesis that Northeast India is the meeting ground of many diverse culture and population of ethnic and distinctive communities, each unique in its tradition, culture, dress and exotic ways of life, it is evident that migration of people has taken place in different directions.

  • Text and Texture of Clothing in Meetei Community: a Contextual Study

Meeteis are the majority ethnic group of Manipur, who are Mongoloid in origin. According to the Meetei belief system, they consider themselves as the descendents of Lord Pakhangba, the ruling deity of Manipur. Veneration towards Pakhangba and various beliefs and practices related with the Paphal cult have significantly manifested in the cultural and social spheres of Meetei identity. As part of the material culture, dress plays an important role in manifesting the symbolic representation of their relation with Pakhangba in their mundane life. Meetei cloths are deeply embedded with the socio-cultural meaning of the Meeteiness presented in their oral and verbal expressive behaviors. When seven individual groups merged into one community under the political dominance of Mangang/Ningthouja clan, traditional costume became an important agent in order to recognise the individual identity and the common Meetei identity. There are some cloths which have intricate design with various motifs, believed to be derived from the mark of Pakhangba’s body and are used in order to identify the age, sex, social status, and ethnic identity in ritual context.

Surnames came into existence before king Loiyumpa (1074-1122 AD). Surname is part of a personal name that is passed from either or both parents to their offspring. Surnames in Meitei society are derived from father‟s name. Meiteis have 7 clans and each clan has several surnames. In the 14th century A.D during the reign of King Kiyamba, Brahmins from the mainland of India started to come and settled in Manipur. They have been given different surnames except the seven clans. Again, during the reign of King Khagemba, in the 16th century, Muslims from Bengal started to settle at Manipur, known as Pangal [paŋəl]. These people are now known by the name Meitei pangal. They also have been given with different surnames except the seven clans. This paper is an attempt to provide some insights of surnames and naming patterns in Meitei society and their importance in the society.

ABSTRACT : Marriage is an institution which authorizes man and woman to family life. The establishment of the institution of marriage is a landmark in the history of human society. It did not prevail among the primeval people because in the early days sex life was absolutely free and promiscuity was well founded. As civilization advanced, people started to lead settled life abandoning the habit of shifting from one place to another in search of food. In this phase, food gathering economy turned into food producing economy and man began to lead some regulated life. As in the food gathering stage the sex relationships was promiscuous, only motherhood alone could be the ascertainable parenthood without the trace of definite fatherhood. Fatherhood could be possible to judge if sex relationship became exclusive union of male and female. In men's aim to identify with the paternity of children lie the seeds of the institution of marriage. From promiscuity to monogamy there was a long march from pre-agricultural to agricultural economy in which monogamy and monogamous marriage were institutionalized. Society permits man and woman to be husband and wife and to have children by involving the right of sexual relation through the institution of marriage. At diverse places and in different stages of human development marriage had been emerged in different forms with elaborate rule, regulation and custom.

In some primitive societies there was an almost complete absence of differentiated political institutions. In the historical process conflict among the several ethnic groups for economic and political supremacy was the process of human history in nature and this process was hastened by the growth of economic activities coincided with the expansion of human ideas. The Meitei state itself evolved and developed with inclusion of numerous ethnic groups through a long process of war and conflicts. The growth of population as well as the development of economic system based on private ownership led to the emergence of organized social structure in the form of family, lineage and clan groups.

Human being a social animal is connected with various threads and bonds of relationship. Among these bonds of relationship, the blood relation plays a most important part. Kinship is the relation by the bond of blood, marriage and includes kindred ones. It represents one of the basic social institutions. Kinship is universal and in most societies plays a significant role in the socialization of individuals and the maintenance of group solidarity. It is very important in primitive societies and extends its influence on almost all their activities. A. R Radcliffe Brown defines kinship as a system of dynamic relations between person and person in a community, the behavior of any two persons in any of these relations being regulated in some way and to a greater or less extent by social usage. This relationship has been there in existence since the beginning of the society.

  • Compounding in Meetei Surnames
    Compounding in Meetei Surnames Yumnam Aboy Singh, Ph.D. Scholar ================================================================ Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 13:10 October 2013 ================================================================ Abstract This paper mainly concentrates on the formation of Meetei surnames through the process of Compounding. Indigenously no surname is found without the ending phoneme /m/ in Meetei society. Therefore, all the Meetei surnames end with a common identical phoneme /m/. In this paper the classification of compounding process of the Meetei surname is also studied in different ways by applying different formulae. The paper attempts to discuss not only the indigenous Meetei surnames but also the Meetei Brahmin surnames still existing in Manipur. INTRODUCTION In the past, the offspring of the same family were settled together. After increasing number of the family members, some had separated and made new houses for their needs. The new houses were also made near the old one. Like this, many houses have been gradually extended near the same old ancestor. From that tradition, the Meetei Yumnak (Meitei surname) came into existence. Here, jum means ‘house’ and nak means ‘near’ and become ‘jumnak’ (R.K., 1970). In the past, jumnak indicated both house and owner or any one of them. For example, someone can ask about a person or of a house whether he/she is known or unknown to him. Such a question can be put as, kijum mchno or kijumno ‘which surname is referred to (you or him)? Later on, it seems to be known as the family of the house. From that point of view, elders used to address an individual by his/her surname.

  • A Study of Kanglei Lai-Haraoba Festival of Manipur
    Journal of North East India Studies Vol. 4(1), Jan.-Jul. 2014, pp. 43-54. Ritual Festival for Appeasing Ancestral Gods: A Study of Kanglei Lai-haraoba Festival of Manipur Nganbi Chanu Lai Haraoba is one of the most important indigenous ritual festivals celebrated by the Meitei community of Manipur. It is celebrated to propitiate and please the ancestral deities to get their blessings in return. It depicts the act of creating uni- verse and its objects, and unveils the endless journey of universe through its ritu- alistic performances. It is celebrated in Manipur since time immemorial and is being continued till today. The festival includes rituals, ceremonial, dance, music, oral literatures (through hymn and songs) etc. which are handed down from one generation to another. It is inseparably linked with the evolution of human beings, how they took to settlement by satisfying their universal basic needs of food, clothing and shelter by cultivating, building houses, wearing, etc. The paper shows the significance of the Lai Haraoba in Manipuri Society and discusses Kanglei Haraoba and its special features. The finding presents the festival’s unique Pre- Vaisnivite (Hindu) worldview, which in its aesthetic sensitivity discusses the core of Manipuri culture. Keywords: Lai Haraoba; Kanglei; Lainingthou; Lairembi; Amaiba; Amaibi; Penakhongba; Ekouba Introduction There are different interpretations regarding the etymology of the term Lai-Haraoba. Lai Haraoba literally means pleasing the Gods and the essence of the ritual is that it is performed to call up the Lais (Dieties) and carry out rituals which give them pleasure (Paratt, 1997: 18). It is defined as the merry-making of Gods and Goddessess (Singh, 1961: 30).
