  • THE LANGUAGES of MANIPUR: a CASE STUDY of the KUKI-CHIN LANGUAGES* Pauthang Haokip Department of Linguistics, Assam University, Silchar
    Linguistics of the Tibeto-Burman Area Volume 34.1 — April 2011 THE LANGUAGES OF MANIPUR: A CASE STUDY OF THE KUKI-CHIN LANGUAGES* Pauthang Haokip Department of Linguistics, Assam University, Silchar Abstract: Manipur is primarily the home of various speakers of Tibeto-Burman languages. Aside from the Tibeto-Burman speakers, there are substantial numbers of Indo-Aryan and Dravidian speakers in different parts of the state who have come here either as traders or as workers. Keeping in view the lack of proper information on the languages of Manipur, this paper presents a brief outline of the languages spoken in the state of Manipur in general and Kuki-Chin languages in particular. The social relationships which different linguistic groups enter into with one another are often political in nature and are seldom based on genetic relationship. Thus, Manipur presents an intriguing area of research in that a researcher can end up making wrong conclusions about the relationships among the various linguistic groups, unless one thoroughly understands which groups of languages are genetically related and distinct from other social or political groupings. To dispel such misconstrued notions which can at times mislead researchers in the study of the languages, this paper provides an insight into the factors linguists must take into consideration before working in Manipur. The data on Kuki-Chin languages are primarily based on my own information as a resident of Churachandpur district, which is further supported by field work conducted in Churachandpur district during the period of 2003-2005 while I was working for the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore, as a research investigator.

  • Some Anti-Diarrhoeic and Anti-Dysenteric Ethno-Medicinal Plants of Mao Naga Tribe Community of Mao, Senapati District, Manipur
    Available online at www.ijpab.com ISSN: 2320 – 7051 Int. J. Pure App. Biosci. 2 (1): 147-155 (2014) Research Article International Journal of Pure & Applied Bioscience Some Anti-diarrhoeic and Anti-dysenteric Ethno-medicinal Plants of Mao Naga Tribe Community of Mao, Senapati District, Manipur 1* 2 Sunita Gurumayum and Jiten Singh Soram 1Dept. of Botany, Asufii Christian Institute, Mao, Senapati District, Manipur-795150 2Dept. of Zoology, Asufii Christian Institute, Mao, Senapati District, Manipur-795150 *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Diarrhoea and dysentery are the important causes of mortality in the developing countries till today. On the other hand, Manipur state as a whole lies in the Indo-Burma Biodiversity hot spot owing to which harbours diverged plants supporting about 50% of India’s biodiversity. Mao Naga tribe inhabits the Mao area, located at a unique geographic, climatic and topographical area in Senapati district of Manipur. The people of Mao Naga tribe think themselves to have migrated from China through oral storytelling and have a distinct colourful culture and tradition in which traditional system of medicine forms a large part. However, this vast body of ethno-botanical knowledge has remained largely unexplored. Thus, an ethno-medicinal survey has been conducted with the help of local volunteers and accordingly this paper has a record of 45 plant species being used in traditional medicine belonghing 41 genera and 28 families for treating diarrhoea and dysentery. The family Asteraceae has maximum species representation of six followed by the family Zingiberaceae with five recorded species. Leaves were the maximum parts used compared to the other parts with their 34.3% usage, followed by fruit (15%) and bark (12%).The study also showed an immense potential for ethno-botanical research in the area.

  • Study of Dental Fluorosis in Subjects Related to a Phosphatic Fertilizer Plant Environment in Chhattisgarh State
    Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 6(1), January 2007, pp. 79-94 Cultural significance and diversities of ethnic foods of Northeast India Anamika Singh1, Ranjay K Singh2* & Amish K Sureja3 1Department of Food Science and Nutrition, Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh 2Department of Agriculture Extension 3Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture & Forestry, Central Agricultural University, Pasighat 791 102, Arunachal Pradesh E-mail: [email protected] Received 30 August 2006; revised 23 October 2006 The traditional foods processed and prepared by women of Northeastern region are intimately connected to their socio- cultural, ecological, spiritual life and health. The processing and preparation of ethnic foods not only demonstrate the creativity and treasure of food heritage of tribal women but also their incremental learning to sustain the life and ecosystem as a whole. Looking to the diversities in ethnic foods, an attempt has been made to explore the ethnic foods made of local soybean, bamboo shoot, tree bean, lai patta (leafy mustard) and rai (Brassica juncea (Linn.) Czern. & Coss.) from different selected tribes of Northeast India. Tribal women of Northeastern region have a wide range of variability in the ethnic foods made of soybean, bamboo shoot, lai patta, tree bean and rai. In each state, the processing method of these foods is somewhat different based on the culture, variability in the materials used in the food, climate and overall knowledge of the processing and preparation. The foods used in the dietary system were found to be nutritionally rich and culturally important in various festivals and ceremonies. Ethnic foods prepared and consumed by women can not be seen in the isolated mode, instead it is a complex dynamics in which nutrition, health, food security, culture, ethics, subsistence economy and ecological sustainability are integral components.

  • Chapter 2 MANIPUR: SOCIAL STRUCTURE and CHANGE
    Chapter 2 MANIPUR: SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND CHANGE Manipur has a distinct history chronicled in Puyas or Puwaries, namely; the Ningthou Kangbalon, Cheitharol Kumbaba, Ningthourol Lambuba, Poreiton Khunthokpa, Panthoibi Kongkul etc writen in the archaic Meitei script. Since 33.A.D. till the last rule of the King Bhudhachandra, Manipur was ruled by seventyfour kings, of whom the hallowed names of Pakhangba, Naothingkhong, Loyumba, Kiyamba, Khagemba, Charairongba, Pamheiba, Jai Singh, Gambir Singh, Nara Singh, Chandrakriti and Chura Chand Singh are outstanding (Singh 1988: ii). Manipur lost its sovereignty after its defeat from the British in the Anglo- Manipuri War of Kongjom in 1891 A.D. It regained with its freedom from the British rule on 28 August 1947. Thereafter, the land was annexed to the Indian territory on 15 October 1949 and, on 21 January 1972, it was accorded statehood by the Indian Government after several years of demand by All Manipur Students Union and several political organizations (A.M.C.T.A.2001: 4-7). Of the different accounts about the origin of the name 'Manipur', the one in a Manipuri manuscript Sating Sakok says that at a place near Nungoibi, located between Taipongthong and Nungoibi, a stone existed with supernatural power, known as mani, meaning a precious gem stone, by which, the place came to be known as Manipur (Singh 1969:2). According to Brown (2002:2), the name 'Manipur' is accounted for by the Manipuris who quote the Mahabharata to confirm its accuracy and say that the name derives from mani, jewel; earlier, possessed by the king of the country ages ago.
