Prof Kedilezo Kikhi

Dimapur, July 23 (EMN): A college in Kohima town on July 21 organized a “talk” on matter concerning rel- evance of Naga politics and identity. The department of Sociology of Sazolie College at Jotsoma organised the event as a means to discussing the topic “Relevance of Naga (Homeland) Politics and Identity in the Present Neoliberal Context: A Critical Sociological Understanding” with Prof. Kedilezo Kikhi, department of Sociology and chair of Ambedkar Studies Centre at Tezpur University in Assam, as the speaker. The organisers issued a press release on Sunday in- forming about the event. In his presentation, the press release asserted, Prof. Kikhi ‘critically analysed the issue of Naga Identity in the context of Neoliberalism’ (sic). “The state is need- ed by the elites to accumulate and protect their wealth, which ultimately results in the rich getting richer and the poor becoming poorer,” the press release stated. Further, he was stated to have posed the query wheth- er or not one was supposed to trust the state. ‘Because instead of being the problem solver, the state itself has become a problem with an institutionalized corrupted system. In the absence of any mechanism to generate enough income for self-sustenance and self-sufficiency, he expressed his concern of what will happen when our “parasitic government” and “parasitic society” stops re- ceiving the so-called “economic packages” or “pacifying packages” from the central government,’ the organisers explained. The speaker lamented that “we” exploit the unique- ness of identity and ‘struggle by begging for these “eco- nomic packages,”’ the press release explained. ‘However, unfortunately, these are pocketed by the elites without any accountability. He stated that the movement for Naga Identity started with a good intention, but it has become a bait today thereby intensifying the parasitic system and giving growth to the nexus among the elites, which includes the politicians, bureaucrats and groups claiming to fight for the Nagas.’ BJP leader Mishra tours Wokha Dimapur, July 23 (EMN): The organising secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Nagaland, Ananta Narayan Mishra, undertook a tour of Wokha district during July 18-19. N Nchumbemo Jami, general secretary, Wokha dis- trict BJP, issued a press release on Sunday informing about the event. At every meeting, the press release stated, Ananta Mishra spoke about the party’s organisational setup. He talked about ’10-points to execute to prepare for the forthcoming general assembly elections on a war foot- ing.’ “BJP is basically a party based for the grass root people and not against any religion. It believes in posi- tive secularism and value-based politics. The notion that BJP is a Hindu party is just a political propaganda,” the press release claimed. The press release claimed further that the government at the centre, under the “legendary” leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was a “scam less and corruption free government.” The BJP leader was stated to have assured the pub- lic that in the coming elections, the ‘BJP will form government in Nagaland as it is cornered by Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh which are all BJP ruled states.’ Narayan Mishra requested the public ‘not to be con- fused with political propaganda but join hands and vote for BJP so as to relieve the hardship the public are facing daily,’ the press release added.

D-4397 EastErn Mirror | Dimapur, Monday, July 24, 2017 Luckiest guy in the world: Affleck on playing Batman Actor-filmmaker Ben Affleck has denied rumours that he will not star in the upcoming standalone Batman film. He considers himself as the “luckiest guy in the world” to play the superhero role. During a San Diego Comic-Con panel discussion for “Justice League”, Affleck squashed rumours that Warner Bros Mirror was looking for ways to usher Affleck out of the series, reports variety.com. “I 10 am the luckiest guy in the world. Batman is the coolest part,” Affleck said. Af- fleck had originally been slated to direct “The Batman”. However, earlier this year he backed out from directing the film and Matt Reeves was signed on to ENTERTAINMENT helm the project. “There’s a misconception that because I wasn’t directing it, I wasn’t enthusiastic about it,” Affleck said.

KWest played the role of the caped crusader in the 1960s television series and later voiced the character of Mayor West on “Family Guy”. He died last month. Smith said he was about 4 years old when he first saw West in Batman. “He defined my youth. He gave me my morality. Everything I learned about being good, I learned from watching Adam West play the Bright Knight,” Smith said. Meriwether said that when she played Catwoman and Kitka opposite West in “Batman: The Movie”, she could hardly maintain her character’s accent because she was so overwhelmed by him. “I had a little crush, just a little one,” the 82-year- old actress said, blushing at the memory. The presentation also included highlight reels of West’s work on “Batman” and “Family Guy”.
