  • 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.

  • Sumi Tone: a Phonological and Phonetic Description of a Tibeto-Burman Language of Nagaland
    Sumi tone: a phonological and phonetic description of a Tibeto-Burman language of Nagaland Amos Benjamin Teo Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Masters by Research (by Thesis Only) December 2009 School of Languages and Linguistics The University of Melbourne Abstract Previous research on Sumi, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the extreme northeast of India, has found it to have three lexical tones. However, the few phonological studies of Sumi have focused mainly on its segmental phonology and have failed to provide any substantial account of the tone system. This thesis addresses the issue by providing the first comprehensive description of tone in this language. In addition to confirming three contrastive tones, this study also presents the first acoustic phonetic analysis of Sumi, looking at the phonetic realisation of these tones and the effects of segmental perturbations on tone realisation. The first autosegmental representation of Sumi tone is offered, allowing us to account for tonal phenomena such as the assignment of surface tones to prefixes that appear to be lexically unspecified for tone. Finally, this investigation presents the first account of morphologically conditioned tone variation in Sumi, finding regular paradigmatic shifts in the tone on verb roots that undergo nominalisation. The thesis also offers a cross-linguistic comparison of the tone system of Sumi with that of other closely related Kuki-Chin-Naga languages and some preliminary observations of the historical origin and development of tone in these languages are made. This is accompanied by a typological comparison of these languages with other Tibeto-Burman languages, which shows that although these languages are spoken in what has been termed the ‘Indosphere’, their tone systems are similar to those of languages spoken further to the east in the ‘Sinosphere’.

  • Origin and Migration Myths in the Rhetoric of Naga Independence and Collective Identity
    ORIGIN AND MIGRATION MYTHS IN THE RHEtoRIC OF NAGA INDEPENDENCE AND COLLECTIVE IDENTITY MARION WETTSTEIN “See!” exclaimed the gentleman in his 50s while we were enjoying our meal in a small Sumi Naga village, “Even the rice is different, the meat is different, the vegetable is different. This clearly proves that we Nagas are not Indians.” He continued to briefly explain that they had always been, and still are, a free people and therefore need not ask for indepen- dence; they always were independent. The conversation then took the turn it often does when encountering one of the representatives active for the ‘Naga cause’: a lecture in history informing one that the Nagas migrated from somewhere in Thailand or Mongolia—where all Mongol peoples came from—to their present location in the hills between Assam and Burma. Among many politically active Nagas, migration stories form an integral part of their rhetoric for constructing a collective Naga identity and for claiming an independent Naga nation. The same is true of local intellectual discourse, which is mainly lead by Nagas of sociological, anthropological, or theological background, and mostly—and not sur- prisingly—in favour of the nationalistic cause. The aim of this paper1 is to discuss the use of origin tales and migration myths in this local discourse on Naga collective identity. Thus, the following discussion is not intended as a political statement but as a critical analysis of local recourses in the debate in question. THE QUEST FOR A COLLECTIVE NAGA IDENTITY The hill peoples commonly referred to as ‘the Nagas’ dwell in the northern hill ranges between the Brahmaputra and Chindwin Rivers on both sides of the present India-Myanmar (Burma) international border.

  • Tenyidie and Its Literary Networks
    ================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 18:2 February 2018 India’s Higher Education Authority UGC Approved List of Journals Serial Number 49042 ================================================================ History, Identity and Language: Tenyidie and Its Literary Networks Riku Khutso, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. Scholar =========================================================== Abstract Historically, the Tenyimia is a group of Naga tribes which trace common ancestry. According to the oral sources, these people basically dispersed from two villages known as Maikhel (Mekhrore) and Khezhakenoma to different parts of the present-day Nagaland, Manipur and Assam. Their claim of common descent is endorsed by shared memories and conjoined geographical spaces besides the close linguistic lineage that is found among the varied dialects. However, before the colonial and American missionary experience, this kinship relationship was limited by historical factors and Tenyimia as a socio-cultural and political entity was not as defined as in the contemporary times and neither was there a common language called Tenyidie. It is in this context that the influence of western cultural traditions since the nineteenth century made a durable impression on the socio-cultural and political processes of the Tenyimia people across vast geographical spaces. As a result, Tenyidie language, which is basically a language adapted from various dialects by the American Missionaries became standardized among the Tenyimia people over time. In this paper, one of the main objectives is to see how a literate tradition has been fostered and embraced across dialectal and geographical spaces. To understand this phenomenon, the paper would try to locate the nature and interplay of history, identity and language in reinforcing historical consciousness and creating new sensibilities.
