  • APPENDIX-V FOREIGN CONTRIBUTION (REGULATION) ACT, 1976 During the Emergency Regime in the Mid-1970S, Voluntary Organizations
    APPENDIX-V FOREIGN CONTRIBUTION (REGULATION) ACT, 1976 During the Emergency Regime in the mid-1970s, voluntary organizations played a significant role in Jayaprakash Narayan's (JP) movement against Mrs. Indira Gandhi. With the intervention of voluntary organizations, JP movement received funds from external sources. The government became suspicious of the N GOs as mentioned in the previous chapter and thus appointed a few prominent people in establishing the Kudal Commission to investigate the ways in which JP movement functioned. Interestingly, the findings of the investigating team prompted the passage of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act during the Emergency Period. The government prepared a Bill and put it up for approval in 1973 to regulate or control the use of foreign aid which arrived in India in the form of donations or charity but it did not pass as an Act in the same year due to certain reasons undisclosed. However, in 1976, Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act was introduced to basically monitor the inflow of funds from foreign countries by philanthropists, individuals, groups, society or organization. Basically, this Act was enacted with a view to ensure that Parliamentary, political or academic institutions, voluntary organizations and individuals who are working in significant areas of national life may function in a direction consistent with the values of a sovereign democratic republic. Any organizations that seek foreign funds have to register with the Ministry of Home Affairs, FCRA, and New Delhi. This Act is applicable to every state in India including organizations, societies, companies or corporations in the country. NGOs can apply through the FC-8 Form for a permanent number.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • 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.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    Chapter I Introduction 1. Introduction The Poumai Naga is one of the oldest and largest Naga tribe in Manipur. The Poumai Naga country is geographically situated in Senapati District, Manipur and four villages from Phek District in Nagaland. The Poumai country in Senapati district is bordered by Phek district, Nagaland on the north, Ukhrul district on the east, Tadubi sub-division on the west and Saikul sub-division on the south. Manipur state is situated in North Eastern States of India and became a full-fledged state in 1972. It is bordered on the North by Nagaland state, on the East by Myanmar, on the South by Myanmar and Mizoram and on the West by Assam and partly by Mizoram. According to Hill house tax records, the total population of Poumai tribe in 2001 was 1, 51,005 (including the Poumai in Nagaland). About 95.5% of the total population of Poumai resides in the iSenapati district of Manipur, including the four villages in Phek district. The Poumai Naga tribe is one the most important tribes in Manipur and Nagaland since times immemorial. Their Poiili (Poumai Earthen) and Poutai (Pou salt) production were well known to the entire tribal areas in Manipur and Nagaland since ancient time. Even today, Pouli and Poutai are still produced in Poumai Naga villages. There are some Naga tribes like Mao, Angami and Chakhesang who used the Pouli in some religious rites and ritual and without the Pouli - their religious rites and rituals are incomplete. The Central Government of India had recognized Poumai Naga as a separate tribe in 2002, under the Constitution of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled tribe Order (Amendment) Act 2002, which was earlier under the Mao Tribes.

  • Social Status and the Role of Naga Women in the Traditional Naga Society
    IJMSS Vol.03 Issue-05, (May, 2015) ISSN: 2321-1784 International Journal in Management and Social Science (Impact Factor- 4.747) SOCIAL STATUS AND THE ROLE OF NAGA WOMEN IN THE TRADITIONAL NAGA SOCIETY By: Dr. Ninghorla Zimik T. Asso. Professor, Pettigrew College, Ukhrul, Manipur Abstract Nagas are one of the indigenous tribes of North East India and Myanmar. All the Naga tribes have patriarchal social institutions and the line of succession is patrilineal. In this kind of social set up, the subordination of mother and children to the authority of the father is practically universal. However, headship of the father does not signify that mother’s role in the family is under the strict instructions and control of the husband. She is empowered to manage her home affairs and honoured by installing a special mother’s seat in the house. Naga women are known for their hard work and sincerity. When a girl attains puberty, she goes to the girl’s dormitory where she is trained in all aspects of life as modern education institutions would educate. In times of war, women takes care of their family and even guards the village. In political spheres, women are not given any political rights except in some rare cases like that of Harkhongla of Maram, Rani Gaindinlieu etc. However during inter village war disputes, a woman called ‘Phukhareila’ is given the right to stop a heavy casualty war through negotiation or intervening in the war directly. A prerogative of such an honour was never given to men. She was called the Naga ‘peace maker’.

    Bipasa Roy Chowdhury, International Journal of Research in Engineering, IT and Social Sciences, ISSN 2250-0588, Impact Factor: 6.452, Volume 08 Issue 07, July 2018, Page 243-246 Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya: A New Paradigm to Preserve our Cultural Heritage Bipasa Roy Chowdhury (Ph.D. Research Scholar, Department of Museology, University of Calcutta, West Bengal, India) Abstract: IGRMS is an ethnographic museum depicting the story of mankind by preserving and conserving of various cultures of ethnic communities of India. The indoor and outdoor exhibitions of Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya are complementary to each other. Ethnographical museum, as we understand today, is an institution for collection, preservation, study and exhibition of man’s own works which is important for education as well as for cultural growth (IGRMS, Souvenir, 2005). In IGRMS, we can find tangible culture in two types of exhibition namely – (a) The Indoor Museum (Veethi Sankul) and (b) Open –Air exhibition. These exhibitions aim to present the cohesive life styles and culture of various ethnic communities living in different parts of our country. In the following, an attempt has been made to document the tangible and intangible culture preserved in the museum with its context. I. INTRODUCTION A museum is defined as “a non - profit making permanent institution, in the service of the society and its development and open to the public, which acquires, conserves, communicates and exhibits, researches for the purpose of study, education and enjoyment, material evidence of men and his environment". The word ethnography is derived from the Greek (ethnos), meaning a company, later a people, nation and graphy meaning field of study.
