The Kuki Experience
IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 26, Issue 2, Series 9 (February. 2021) 08-17 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Understanding the Problems of Elderly: The Kuki Experience Dr Sheikhohao Kipgen* *Dr Sheikhohao Kipgen is an Associate Professor, in the department of History Department, Manipur College, Imphal, Manipur. Abstract Ageing is a natural and universal phenomenon experienced by all sections of the society in all generation and countries. The magnitude of the problems of elderly persons is, however, not the same everywhere but varies from society to society. Human life undergoes a continuous process of transformation from childhood to old age. As a matter of fact, old age encounter human frailty and marginalization of the elderly and finally receded to social oblivion. As such, how well the state and civil society shoulder the responsibility of caring the elderly persons will depend on the appreciation of the pitfall of one life’s journey. This paper focuses on the position of the aged and changes taking place due to various forces among the Kuki community majority of whom has been residing in the hills. No area of life whether it be socio-cultural, polity, economy or religion of the tribal community has been unaffected and untouched by the wind of change. Against this backdrop, study of the elderly problems among the Kukis is attempted taking advantage of my personal knowledge and experience as I belong to the same community. Key words: family, elderly, marginalization, psychosis, militancy, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date of Submission: 13-02-2021 Date of Acceptance: 27-02-2021 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. -

Seilen Haokip
Journal of North East India Studies Vol. 9(1), Jan.-Jun. 2019, pp. 83-93. Centennial Year of Kuki Rising, 1917-2017: Reflecting the Past Hundred Years Seilen Haokip The year 2017 marks the centennial year of the Kuki Rising, 1917-1919. The spirit of the rising that took place during First World War, also evident in Second World War, when the Kuki people fought on the side of the Axis group, has persisted. Freedom and self-determination remain a strong aspiration of the Kukis. One hundred years on, the history of the Kukis, segmented into three parts are: a) pre-British, b) British period, and c) present-day, in post-independent India. a) The pre-British period An era of self-rule marked the pre-British period. A nation in its own right, governance of Kuki country was based on traditional Haosa kivaipo (Chieftainship). Similar to the Greek-City states, each village was ruled by a Chief. Chieftainship, a hereditary institution, was complete with an administrative structure. The essential features comprised a two-tiered bicameral system: a) Upa Innpi or Bulpite Vaipohna (Upper House) and: b) Haosa Inpi or Kho Haosa Vaipohna (Lower House). Semang and Pachong (council of ministers and auxiliary members) assisted the Chief in the day- to-day administration. Cha’ngloi (Assistant), Lhangsam (Town Crier), Thiempu (High Priest and Judge), Lawm Upa (Minister of Youth & Cultural Affairs), Thihpu (Village Blacksmith) comprisedother organs of the Government (For details read Lunkim 2013). b) The British period The British administered Kuki country through the traditional institution of Chieftainship. However, the rights of the Chiefs were substantially reduced and house tax was imposed. -

The Cultural Politics of Proxy-Voting in Nagaland
TIF - The Cultural Politics of Proxy-Voting in Nagaland JELLE J P WOUTERS June 7, 2019 RODERICK WIJUNAMAI Voters in Kohima, Nagaland | PIB Photo Nagaland’s voter turnouts are often the highest in the country, and it may be so this time around as well. But why was the citizenry of Nagaland so keen to vote for their lone, largely ineffectual representative in the Lok Sabha? Of all truisms about democracy, one that is held to be particularly true is that any democracy’s vitality and verve depends on its voter turnouts during elections. As the acclaimed political and social theorist Steven Lukes (1975: 304) concluded long ago: “Participation in elections can plausibly be interpreted as the symbolic affirmation of the voters’ acceptance of the political system and of their role within it.” Indian democracy thence draws special attention; not just for its trope of being the world’s largest democracy (Indian voters make up roughly one-sixth of the world’s electorate) but for the democratic and electoral effervescence reported all across the country. While a disenchantment with democratic institutions and politics is now clearly discernible in large swathes of the so-called “West” and finds its reflection in declining voter turnouts, to the point almost where a minority of citizens elect majority governments, India experiences no such democratic fatigue. Here voter turnouts are not just consistently high, but continue to increase and now habitually outdo those of much older democracies elsewhere. And if India’s official voter turnouts are already high, they might well be a low estimate still. -

Assam - a Study on Bihugeet in Guwahati (GMA), Assam
International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Impact Factor (2018): 7.426 Female Participation in Folk Music of Assam - A Study on Bihugeet in Guwahati (GMA), Assam Palme Borthakur1, Bhaben Ch. Kalita2 1Department of Earth Science, University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya, India 2Professor, Department of Earth Science, University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya, India Abstract: Songs, instruments and dance- the collaboration of these three ingredients makes the music of any region or society. Folk music is one of the integral facet of culture which also poses all the essentials of music. The instruments used in folk music are divided into four halves-taat (string instruments), aanodha(instruments covered with membrane), Ghana (solid or the musical instruments which struck against one another) and sushir(wind instruments)(Sharma,1996). Out of these four, Ghana and sushirvadyas are being preferred to be played by female artists. Ghana vadyas include instruments like taal,junuka etc. and sushirvadyas include instruments that can be played by blowing air from the mouth like flute,gogona, hkhutuli etc. Women being the most essential part of the society are also involved in the process of shaping up the culture of a region. In the society of Assam since ancient times till date women plays a vital role in the folk music that is bihugeet. At times Assamese women in groups used to celebrate bihu in open spaces or within forest areas or under big trees where entry of men was totally prohibited and during this exclusive celebration the women used to play aforesaid instruments and sing bihu songs describing their life,youth and relation with the environment. -
